Yesterday i played silent threat reborn on the freespace port. After that i ran the launcher so i could test a new ship I put in the game, but the game looked for the fs1 mainhall. Please help me!

Your fs2_open.log: (possibly the most important thing ever)

• fs2_open.log is a file generated by debug builds. It contains all sorts of useful information that we need in order to help you. That is why you should follow the instructions below and provide us with that file when asking for help. Creating an fs2_open.log happens like this:
  
  • Download the recommended build (link is in the first post of this thread) if you haven't already and place the .exe files to your \freespace2\ folder.
  • Switch to windowed mode (open the Launcher, open the Features tab, select Dev Tools from the pulldown menu and tick on "Run in window").
  • Select the debug build (fs2_open_3_6_10_debug.exe) and run it. If you've been experiencing crashes, do exactly what you've done previously, up until it crashes.

OK, i did as you suggested. This problem started after i tried to run ST:R with media vps, by the way.

This is what I got.

Yes, I know what fs2_open.log is. I'm usually pretty knowledgeable about anything that doesn't involve code.

Well, good to hear you know what the log is. Now, please post one that shows the problem, not one that is 4 days old.

Do you mean that i installed freespace open before i installed freespace 2? Because i did.

Regardless of the operating system, running a debug build should only be... well, running the game, but using fs2_open_3_6_10d instead of fs2_open_3_6_10.

I don't know what you mean about ignoring installation instructions.
Do you mean that i installed freespace open before i installed freespace 2? Because i did.

What The E means is that fsport-str.vp is a Silent Threat: Reborn file. As in, a file from a mod. And what do we do with mod files? We do NOT put them directly into \freespace2\ . This particular file should be in \freespace2\str\ or whatever your ST:R folder happens to be.

[MastaRyan]

OK, i just checked, and there is a fsport-str.vp' in the main freespace2 directory AND the fsport-str folder.
Should I get rid of the one in the freespace2 directory?

[The E]

Yes.

[MastaRyan]

Oh. I think what happened is that yesterday i downloaded ST:R from the internet, but then i realized that it came with freespace open, so i abandoned the file that i downloaded. Anyway, it works now.    Thank you.
