Why not just make another pilot file?

When you've already ended up in the Barracudas Raptors? And play through all the previous missions again?

Edited because the dumdum didn't remember the squadron designations correctly.

Isn't that what you'll get from having to restart the campaign?

I'd really like it if we could talk about the same subject...

1. Jake2447 was playing the FS2 campaign.
2. Jake2447 faced issues, which we determined to be caused by a corrupt pilot file.
3. Jake2447 had managed to play up to the Barracudas Raptors. Restarting the whole **** at that point can be somewhat frustrating.
4. karajorma cooked up a modified campaign file, where the campaign starts from roughly the point where Jake2447 had managed to play, thus nullifying the need to play it all again.
5. You started rambling on about how just creating a new pilot file would have done the trick and now refuse to accept that karajorma's method causes less stress.

**** this ****.

I didn't know that the file did this. i thought it was just a replacement for the mission so it's fixed the next time you get there in another playthrough.

Ah. In that case. Yeah, that's kara's style. Quite friendly towards people. And that way the people with issues are more likely to continue playing FreeSpace, compared to the method of just creating the new pilot and starting all over. Or using the old Ctrl-Shift-S.

[Colonol Dekker]

He asked how to do it. Sue me

[karajorma]

Cause then he'd have to replay the entire campaign from the start.

Is it possibly a Vista issue?
I have played through the campaign on my XP laptop with no problems (other than it being SLOW).
However, I have never finished the campaign on Vista because of stuff like this.

By the way, is it really a corrupt pilot if the main campaign is the only one I've used the pilot for?

[colecampbell666]

It is possibly, but it seems like a problem with the game itself, so that's weird.

Wait, reading your posts, did you copy your install from your laptop to your Vista PC? If so, I assume you were using MS Sam or something. Maybe that doesn't exist on Vista, so try to select a different voice.

No clean install.

And you're right about MS Sam, but there are other voices usable instead.

[colecampbell666]

Make sure that you've checked the options to use voice, and also, some campaigns like INFA use a beep in place of a voice file, it cancels out the CG voice, and there is no voice acting.

[Hellstryker]

Meh, I prefer to voice der techroom inside my head anyway.. sounds less, I don't know, corny.

[colecampbell666]

I like it strictly in-mission for that reason. I only use it for when I need to get an order, and I can usually read stuff anyway.
