alright all i want to know is how to download silent threat reborn in a simple way but when i go to download the open installer it just dont pop up and say download so can someone just put some simple directions up thank you.

[Mongoose]

Go here and follow the manual installation instructions in the first post.  And by all means, do not use Turey's installer, as it has a nasty habit of corrupting several necessary .vp files.

no see i saw that but it just wants me to download other crap but i want is the game wher the file that they make for you and where the install it just dont say download silent threat reborn here

1. Welcome.
2. This is GenDisc. This is a question better asked on the support board, or in the FreeSpace Conversion board.
3. This will tell you how to correctly install FreeSpace Open.
4. This will tell you how to install the FSPort.
5. This will tell you how to install ST:R.

Follow these steps in exactly that order, and you will be fine. Skip one, and enjoy the ensuing problems.

hey the E you know the three steps you gave me to install well... what do i install them to whats the file called so i can put it into freespace 2?

by the way if you didnt know i didnt download anything yet from this site and im confused because you have to do some much crap just to play one mod

[General Battuta]

Just use Turey's Installer. It's fixed up. Click 'FreeSpace Open Installer' up at the top.

I'm sorry, but I did not understand that request.
If you have retail FS2 installed, download the installer, run it, and let it install ST:R and the FSPort for you. Note that you absolutely NEED the FSPort to play ST:R. I would also recommend getting the fsport mediavps while you're at it.

by the way if you didnt know i didnt download anything yet from this site and im confused because you have to do some much crap just to play one mod

I am very sorry to hear that. But ST:R isn't "one mod". It's a campaign for a mod (the FSPort), packaged as a mod because it introduces a few new weapons. So, in order to play it, you need:
1) Retail FS2
2) The FSport
and optionally
3) The mediavps
4) The FSPort mediavps.

2, 3 and 4 can be installed by using the installer, or by following the manual instructions I linked to earlier.

ok but when i install this the open installer and the rest of the steps you gave me the E but where do i put them do i drag them to freespace 2 game in my folder or what im not that smart with this computer crap my bad at least make simple and quick enough so i can understand i hate typing what im talking about.

[General Battuta]

You shouldn't need to 'put' them anywhere. They install to your Freespace 2 directory, no? Already where they need to be.

[NJSP 3002]

OK all i need to do is install these things and just play is that it

so if i want to  install freespace open installer all i got to do is download it then just play the game is that it!!!?

[General Battuta]

 

No. Run the installer, then run the Launcher, select the appropriate executable, enable the features you want in the launcher.

Then hit 'apply' and 'run'.

Use the 'mod' tab to select mods like ST:R.

[NJSP 3002]

so yea i downloaded it and follow the instructions now when i play it all it does it flashes really bad whats the problem

[General Battuta]

You're going to need to post screenshots.

Run a debug build, get the fs2open log from your /FreeSpace2/data/ directory, and post it up here as well.

[NJSP 3002]

whT DO YOU MEAN RUN A DEBUG BUILD

[Colonol Dekker]

That.d be a yes, please don't e-shout.

[NJSP 3002]

thanks but how do i run a debug build and sorry didnt see that i had cap locks on my bad

[General Battuta]

Select a build ending in -d or -debug in the launcher. Preferably 3.6.10 debug.

[NJSP 3002]

ok did that it still dont work it still shows the same problem. i can play the game but this crap comes on the screen

[General Battuta]

Now go into FreeSpace 2/data/, get the fs2open log, and post it here.
