I was playing Shrouding the Light (fresh from the installer) and got this error, just after the cutscene with the cruisers:

Can't open model file <cruiser01b.pof>
<no module>! KiFastSystemCallRet
<no module>! WaitForSingleObject + 18 bytes
<no module>! <no symbol>
<no module>! <no symbol>

Also, while I'm at it, the Awakenings (which wouldn't install from the installer, I had to download it manually) campaign complains about two missing ships when loading the second mission and what I assume are supposed to be destroyers are Ulysses. In the Awakenings folder, I have fsport-awakenings.vp and fsport-awakenings-voice.vp, and the mod.ini has this:

[launcher]
modname      = FSPort - Awakenings;
image255x112 = fsport-awake.bmp;
infotext     = The Awakenings campaign;
website      = http://fsport.hard-light.net/;
forum        = http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?board=39.0;

[multimod]
primarylist = fsport;
secondarylist = fsport;

(I had to write the mod.ini myself, since it didn't come with one. It gave some errors without fsport in the secondarylist.)

I'm pretty sure I'm missing some crucial information, but I'm not sure what else would be required to diagnose the problem.

Sounds like they require the MediaVPs. You'll need to add a reference to the mod.inis. I can't get my head around FSPort stuff, though, so hopefully somebody else knows exactly what to put there.

[MatthTheGeek]

Isn't the MVP Leviathan called cruiser01x.pof ? I don't know where this cruiser01b.pof comes from.

Ah, I have the MediaVPs_3612, but is there another set for FSPort mods?

[General Battuta]

Yeah, there's fsport_mediavps.

[Ghastly]

Yeah, there's fsport_mediavps.

Where can I find them? I Googled it, but can only find the 3.6.12 VPs.

Template. Don't use the "primarylist" line unless you are playing ST:R and/or know what you're doing.

Ah, thanks. Now I know that.

[General Battuta]

FreeSpace Port forum right here on HLP, I think. The release post is cluttered and has horrible formatting but it's in there.

Neither the cruiser01b nor the Ulysses fighters are mediavps problems.  They were caused by errors in packaging up the release of FSPort 3.2.  These problems were known and patched one or two months ago.

The installer should have downloaded a file called fsport3_2-fix.vp (edit: as well as a mod.ini for Awakenings).  Do you see any error messages about those?

The installer wasn't able to get fsport.txt, so I had to get the files from actual links. After my last post, I noticed my google search for the MediaVPs found fsport.txt, so I threw it in the installer folder and am letting it update now. I'll post back, if that fixes it.

[Ghastly]

(Sorry for the double-post, but if I simply edited the post, then this little update would probably would get overlooked. It's happened a couple of times to me, before )

Okay, updated through the installer, and Shrouding The Light hasn't been spewing any errors, and Awakenings shows the two Orion-class destroyers perfectly well, but Awakenings says it's found 62 errors/warnings in startup.

[Jeff Vader]

fs2_open.log?

[Ghastly]

I couldn't find one in the FreeSpace directory, but I ran the debug exe and got a better error message:

  -mod fsport-mediavps,awakenings,fsport,mediavpsThe mod load order is wrong. It should be awakenings,fsport-mediavps,fsport,mediavps. If you've entered something into Awakenings' mod.ini's "primarylist" line, go back a few posts and check the template I gave again.

Code: [Select]

Searching root 'C:\Games\FreeSpace2\mediavps\' ... 0 filesAnother problem. You don't have the (3.6.10) MediaVPs. If you've used the Installer and if you have the 3.6.12 MediaVPs (that is, you have something in \freespace2\mediavps_3612\), you can try to use them. This happens by cracking the Awakenings mod.ini open and, on the "secondarylist" line, replacing the part that says "fsport-mediavps,fsport,mediavps" with "fsport-mediavps,fsport,mediavps_3612".

Code: [Select]

Found root pack 'C:\Games\FreeSpace2\mv_core.vp' with a checksum of 0x5e2f9ee7Erm, please remove this file. It is a MediaVP, but likely an old one, and in any case it shouldn't be in \freespace2\ .

[Ghastly]

That got it. Thanks!

  -mod fsport-mediavps,awakenings,fsport,mediavpsThe mod load order is wrong. It should be awakenings,fsport-mediavps,fsport,mediavps. If you've entered something into Awakenings' mod.ini's "primarylist" line, go back a few posts and check the template I gave again.

Actually, that way (in code brackets) should be the proper way to do it.  It has the same priority requirements as ST:R.

Also, right out of the installer, I'm getting this whenever I try to run Silent Threat: Reborn in debug mode:

ERANGE: String error. Please Report.

Here's the mod.ini:

[multimod]

secondarylist = fsport;

Edit: Also, despite the voice VP being in the folder, there aren't any voices.

[General Battuta]

Make sure your install is located in C:\Games\FreeSpace2. FSO can't handle total file paths of more than 32 characters.

[Jeff Vader]

Here's the mod.ini:

[multimod]

secondarylist = fsport;

The STR mod.ini should be something along the lines of

Code: [Select]

[launcher]
modname      = Silent Threat: Reborn v1.1;
image255x112 = fsport-str.bmp;
infotext     = As the Great War rages on, you've been commissioned by Galactic Terran Intelligence for special intelligence operations.  Your objectives are to contain the Shivan onslaught and preserve the fragile Terran-Vasudan alliance.  But a series of suspicious events cloud the GTI's spotless record.  Is the GTI setting you up or are the Shivans spreading their evil rage?;
website      = http://fsport.hard-light.net/website/str/;
forum        = http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/board,140.0.html;

[multimod]
primarylist = fsport-mediavps;
secondarylist = fsport,mediavps_3612;


[Ghastly]

Even with that mod.ini, it's still giving the startup errors and the voices aren't playing. Also, tried Shivans: Echo Gate, and on the third mission, it's giving an error saying eight classes of ships couldn't be loaded.
