The Mods probably are loading, as the MediaVPS mod loads up just fine.

However, I cannot get the game to recognize any campaign as selectable.  I am using the installer version of FS2 OS and installed all extra mods.

What further information do you guys/girls need to troubleshoot this; or is this a common issue?

[Last time I ran FS2OS, about a year ago, it booted up just fine and ran campaigns equally so.  No change of hardware/operating system since then.]

Did you remember to go to the campaign room and select the new campaign?

[Firgof]

Yes.  Perhaps I should have clarified:  The campaigns do not show up in the campaign selection window.  Created new pilots each time I switched to a new campaign; made sure it wasn't interference from potentially not having played the campaign.  So I ran the training missions each time, then checked the campaign selection screen.  Still no-shows.

Also ran it in debug and 3_6_10 just to be sure; with all features on and all features off.  I've been testing to see if it works with the FS Port.

[note:  I've tested all the other campaigns and they also do not show up.]

Run the debug build with a mod selected and post the FS2_open.log you'll find in your data folder.

So I ran the training missions each time, then checked the campaign selection screen.  Still no-shows.

Don't do that in the future. If you select a mod, you should create a new pilot and immediately select the proper campaign. If you just select Continue current campaign, it will try to use the FS2 campaign by default, and that often doesn't do any good, if mods are selected.

And just to be extra mega sure, select a mod, open the Campaign Room and take a screenshot (hit your Prt Sc button; the screenshots are automatically saved to \freespace2\screenshots\).

Incidentally, you are missing certain FSPort files, though that shouldn't prevent the FS1 and Silent Threat campaigns from showing.

[Firgof]

Lobo:  It should be noted that I checked to see if the campaign was in the campaign selection screen before I ran a training mission to see if it would update the campaign selection screen.  Then I ran a training mission.  Then I aborted.  And -then- I went back and checked a second time.  And if it didn't work there, I backed out to the profile selection screen, created a new pilot, went in, checked the campaign selection screen again, mission'd up, aborted, went back and checked, deleted the profiles, exited the game, and messed with settings to check for possible file/version conflicts (though there shouldn't be any at all).

Mind you, I'm not new when it comes to FS2 Open Source, nor FreeSpace 1/2; and mods and games in general.  I am completely perplexed; it just, simply, doesn't work.  Choice of mod doesn't matter, switching all options off to get as close to classic FS2 doesn't work.  Ramping those up to 'current gen' settings doesn't work.

The debug report shows nothing directly indicative.  This is a fresh download.  I even ran another install just to make sure my files were up-to-date by running it in update mode.

I even checked out the mod.inis and checked to see if mission data was somehow corrupted.  No such luck.

I am extra mega sure.  But I humored you and print screen'd a screenshot: it's what you're expecting to see.

[Jeff Vader]

Well, this certainly is something new to me.

At the risk of sounding like I'd concider you dumb, I really want to exclude certain options. So... when choosing a mod with the Launcher, do you click Apply before Running the game?

[Firgof]

Yes; any time I change a setting I make sure to Apply.

[Jeff Vader]

Hmm. Well... weird. That's all I can say.

Now if you'll excuse me. I had a little booze-o-rama tonight and as a result my problem solving skills are somewhat limited. I shall continue pondering about this tomorrow.

[Firgof]

Alright.  I'll keep tinkering on my end to see if I can solve this one.

An error like this should only be occurring in a couple of places anywho.  I don't know the engine code intimately, but I would assume the loading of campaign data occurs in the main loop; so if a mod isn't included in that loop the engine would need a reason to exclude it.  Obviously, the Occham's Razor for that would be a file error/corruption/missing file error which would halt the loading of a mod into the main loop (where, if the code allowed, it would just simply ignore the mod and continue loading the main files without incident).

So I guess I've got a lot of trial-and-error ahead of me.  If anyone comes up with some good tests to run, lemme know; I'll be keeping a close eye on this topic.

[FUBAR-BDHR]

Possibly a corrupted vp that doesn't contain the .fc2 file?  Try a recent 3.6.10 build and post the log from it.  I think it should have file sizes and checksums in it. 

[Firgof]

I'll have that posted up in just a minute.  I'm currently re-installing the game through the FSO Installer [not that I didn't the first time].

3.6.10 behaved exactly the same as 3.6.9; so it's probably a generic error.  I'll test the checksum theory out in a second.  If a fresh install, this time with no background processes
running, no hard drive accesses or writes other than the installer and windows, and a predefined directory with a cleaned registry doesn't do it, then I'm either having hard disk issues or there's something else going wrong.

Back in a jiffy with that log in tow.

[Firgof]

A complete reinstall, isolating the factors which could cause filesize mismatches, cheksum/md5 mismatch, data corruption, and diskwrite errors, has solved my issue.

Looks like I just needed a good reinstall.  Curiously, the updater didn't fix anything if this is the case.  But the updater doesn't look for filesize/checksum mismatches either.

Anyway, thank you all for your patience and feedback.

Next time, I'll try just reinstalling the darn thing like this before I post a thread about it.

[FUBAR-BDHR]

Actually a complete install is usually just a waste of bandwidth on the servers.  Finding and replacing the corrupted file would be the better choice. 

[Jeff Vader]

Indeed. If you now have a working installation, you could concider backing it up on a DVD/external HDD/USB stick, so that if problems arise, you don't have to download everything again.
