Yep that patch fixed it. Thanks you.

And at least the main menu music is from the game "Universe at War: Earth Assault" if I'm not mistaken. Got to be one of the Masari music pieces.

The briefing music is the Sword of the Stars: A Murder of Crows menu theme.

I'm not sure whether to joygasm or question the legality of that....

Awesome piece, though.

Exactly two years ago, ShadowGorrath first posted the idea of an Ancient-Shivan War mod. Although last year we forgot about it, this year we've given the website a major update. Go check it out!
Comments, ideas and suggestions are welcome, as always.

Very nice website.
But I wonder why the Menu on the "Welcome Screen" is at the bottom and everywere else it's at the top.

[FreeSpaceFreak]

Why, to make place for the pretty picture, of course
Also, because the welcome screen doesn't have any actual informative content, and thus differs from the rest.

Hi, i downloaded the everything in one pack but when i try to start it, i get this error:

ERROR: "mv_music-mus.tbm(line 18: Error: Missing required token: [#Soundtrack End]. Found [#SoundTrack Start]  instead." at parse/parselo.cpp:262

But you did not download the patch.

[Don-DiZzLe]

Ah, my bad, it works now, 10x for the quick reply

[bigchunk1]

Maybe it's because I am new to SCP file management or modding in general, but I try and try to get ASW to work and it keeps giving me this error.

Error: Could not load in main hall mask 'MainScreen-M'!

(This error most likely means that you are missing required 640x480 interface art.)
File: MainHallMenu.cpp
Line: 1112

If i press 'OK' and ignore the error I hear music and am faced with a black screen. I tried 'guessing' where the continue mission botton was but I have not yet been lucky enough to find and click it.


The mod sounds like a cool idea and I would really like to play the demo, but after the cutscene plays (nice job on that), I get this error. I don't know which VP contains this file, but I downloaded the "all in one" package so I am surprised that there are missing files. I am running the English version of Freespace 2 and I have version 3.6.10 of SCP.

[General Battuta]

You need to turn up the resolution. Why the heck are you running at 640x480 anyway?

[Jeff Vader]

I am surprised that there are missing files.

They could have created 640x480 interface art and include it in the release, but really. Why? People who manage to get FSO working on their computer are most likely to own hardware that can run FSO at 1024x768 or higher. Those who can run FSO, but can't run it at 1024x768 are an insignificant minority. No offense.

Wow, how embarrassing. I think I just gave away that I don't have a good handle of modding or perhaps even gaming in general. You updated my graphical experience significantly though.

Good thing I'm not one of those people

EDIT: Whoa this mod is cool!

Alright, I managed to play ASW, got to mission 2, quit during the mission cause I was called to play Sword of the Stars..after I come back from Sword of the Stars to play ASW again, the game freezes when using a retail build on mission load, and debug build gives an error about bogus shield mesh on AeFighter.pof. Tried reinstalling the mod, still the same error. Using 3.6.12 RC2 inferno build.

[Droid803]

First off, try using a 3.6.10 build, not 3.6.12 or retail. That's the only build it has been tested on (as it uses 3.66.10 features and 3.6.12 wasn't out at the time).

We have a version in-progress that will work for 3.6.12 (when it gets out of RC) that should fix some of the errors debug is reporting. No telling how long that will take though (it may take till Act 2 is done).

[Jeff Vader]

the game freezes when using a retail build on mission load, and debug build gives an error about bogus shield mesh on AeFighter.pof.

Slight nitpicking here. If you're referring to a build where the file name contains an "r" instead of a "d", it stands for "release". Or possibly "regular". "Retail" refers to the original, unmodified FS2.

Using 3.6.12 RC2 inferno build.

According to the log,

Code: [Select]

fs2_open_3_6_13d_INF_SSE2.exeyou're using a 3.6.13 nightly. I have the impression that people have managed to play ASW with 3.6.12 builds, but 3.6.10 Final is definitely a safe bet, so you might want to try that. Since you were "only" in mission 2, switching a build, creating a new pilot and starting over shouldn't be too frustrating.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

There are Nightlies for 3.6.13 already?

[The E]

All trunk builds are .13. As you should know, being on the BP beta (and thus using one).

And no, there aren't any nightlies for that. Akalamania used one as part of the debugging process.

[Jeff Vader]

Man, I've totally lost my grip on these matters. Perchance I need to take some time off or something.

[The E]

Well, it's kinda my fault. I tried to help him debug the issue on IRC, and I gave him one of my own builds for that.

[FreeSpaceFreak]

Something that may interest some of you

F-YEAH!
