[General Battuta]

What happens?

[NJSP 3002]

didnt work and says that freespace has stop working close program

[General Battuta]

Something's borked with the campaign, then.

[NJSP 3002]

if you can type up the steps i need to do in order to play the campaign

[Droid803]

You should probably talk to whoever made it if the campaign is borked. (Shiv? was it?)

[General Battuta]

Step 1: wait for Shiv.
Step 2, performed in parallel: play another campaign.

[NJSP 3002]

how come others are saying oh the campaign is good and why are they not having any problems like im haveing with this sh**

[Droid803]

Life sucks sometimes. Though, according to NGTM-1R, it wasn't that good.
I haven't played it myself as I haven't moved over to 3.6.11 yet.

[NJSP 3002]

well just for the people that make it so weird

Try posting in this thread:

Shiv may not see this thread for days if ever. But he probably has email notification for his release thread.
But in terms of installation here's what is required as I understand it:


1. Install Freespace 2 (assume you've done this)
2. Download TAVega campaign from http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=64384.0. Extract the zip file in your Freespace2 folder. This will create a new folder called TAVega-EN
3. Download the 3.6.10 mediavps core and effects from here: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=65038.0. Create a new directory in your Freespace 2 folder called "mediavps". Place the files in there. The other Mediavps are optional, but according to shiv core and effects are mandatory.
4. Download FSO 3.6.10 from here http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=64520.0 and extract to your Freespace 2 folder (I'm not sure if the nightly builds include the launcher, though you already have the launcher anyway).
4. Download the 5.5e launcher from here:  http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=64520.0 Place it in Freespace 2 directory.
5. Download a 3.6.11 nightly build from this forum: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?board=173.0 Any for your appropriate system should do. Extract the files to your Freespace 2 directory.
6. Run the Launcher. Select TAVega as the mod. The mediavps are secondary and initiated in the mod.ini so you should not have them as a custom flag (ie don't have "-mod mediavps" in the command line). Select a 3_6_11_r or whatever (just not _d or debug) as the executable. Click run and hopefully it should work.


As to the campaign. It's fun and I enjoyed it. People's opinions will vary.

whats the code that was with the link to the 3-6-11 was i suppose to do something with that?

[Droid803]

AA, TA:Vega needs 3.6.11. I don't think you need 3.6.10 final for 3.6.11.
Unless the point was to link the 5.5e launcher, in which case a more direct link would be more clear.

Oh can you download the launcher separately? Ok didn't know that.

I dunno I just ignore that. I think it's more for the interest of the coders.

[NJSP 3002]

well i followed those steps and still dont work the same exact thing pop up so thanks for those steps tho

[Darius]

Sounds like a similar issue we were having with 3.6.11 r builds with WiH. Does Freespace load up ok, and only crash when you try to start the campaign? Or does it crash immediately when you try to start up Freespace 2?

[NJSP 3002]

when i load up the campaign it dont work freespace 2 is fine

[Akalabeth Angel]

No. What he's asking is:

-does the program crash when you try to Launch it?

OR

-does the program work fine until you try to play the campaign? (ie it goes to the menu, you select the campaign, you click "continue" to start a mission and then it crashes?????).

Try this 3_6_11 build from July 13th: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=64378.0

It's what I used, and I know it works for me.

Maybe there's something screwy with the more recent builds??

[NJSP 3002]
