The weired thing: I can run only several mods with mediavps_3612, most of them do not work.

What about this:

Code: [Select]

mv_music-mus.tbm(line 18:Error: Missing required token: [#Soundtrack End]. Found [#SoundTrack Start]  instead.
ERROR: mv_music-mus.tbm(line 18:
Error: Missing required token: [#Soundtrack End]. Found [#SoundTrack Start]  instead.
Any syntax error in the .tbm?!

[praseodym]

OMFG, I may have found the error.

On some mods "mediavps" and "mediavps_3612" are not shown in the launcher in the Section "Features". I checked the blueplanet2 mod.ini file and changed

Code: [Select]

secondarylist = blueplanet,mediavps_3612;to

Code: [Select]

secondarylist = blueplanet, mediavps_3612;with a blank. Now BP2 starts with the latest 3.6.16 release. Will check it also with the 3.6.17 build.

[praseodym]

3.6.17 also crashes immediately, log of 3.6.16 attached. Errors are different!

Ok, I removed the "custom flags" in the launcher. Now I can choose the mission and start it, but it crashes again. Log attached.

...

Yeah, adding that extra space is a stupid thing to do. Because "mediavps_3612" != " mediavps_3612".

Also, I think I made it clear that War in Heaven is NOT and WILL NEVER BE compatible to 3.6.16. What part of that is hard to understand?

I mean, for the love of kittens, BP ABSOLUTELY REQUIRES the MVPs. Not loading them isn't going to work, ever.

That your MVPs are somehow corrupted due to an errant -mus.tbm is unfortunate, but ultimately a problem that you have to fix on your end.

[praseodym]

Now I disabled the music and sound completely, "mediavps_3612" is automatically set in the custom flags, so they WERE activated.

I can start WiH2 with the 3.6.17_DEBUG build, during the trailer it crashed, log attached.

How can the mediavps_3612 be corrupt, when the md5sums are correct?

Let me walk you through this.

Code: [Select]

-mod blueplanet2,blueplanet, mediavps_3612
Note the space here? I guess you do, because you put it there for no good reason.

See this part? This is where the engine lists all VPs and their checksums (which are completely useless for anything over 2MB in size, btw). See what isn't listed? Correct, any of the mediavps. Know why that is? Because there's no folder called " mediavps_3612" (WITH the leading space you put there) on your system.

Now look at this part. This is where the engine goes through all mod directories and the base directory and enumerates all "loose" files (that is, files not in a .vp archive). I would like to direct your attention to this line specifically:

Code: [Select]

Searching root '/home/oliver/Freespace2/ mediavps_3612/' ... 0 files
Do you see what is happening here? The mediavps are NOT loaded, because the directory " mediavps_3612" does not exist.

Which directly leads to this:

The secondary lines in the mod.ini are the way they are because they need to be. They are completely correct, and unless you know what you are doing and what it's going to do, you should not tamper with them.

Your issue can probably be solved by simply deleting mv_music.vp, and deleting the data directory in the MediaVPs folder (if it exists), and restoring the BP mod.inis to their previous state.

[praseodym]

Ok, I took out the leading spaces and renamed mv_music.vp to mv_music.bak. Now it works.

Obviously this .vp is not working correctly on Linux systems with this mod/engine so far.

Thanks.

[praseodym]

So, in principle it is working.

But: All components like HUD, list on the right hand, Text passages, etc, are doubled in their output on the screen.

Any ideas?

[General Battuta]

What resolution are you running at? Try 1680x1050

[praseodym]

Its 1280x1024x32bit. More is not possible with that screen.

[praseodym]

When I run it with 1280x720 from the launcher it looks good. But I'd prefer full screen mode.

[Black_Yoshi1230]

If you're on a 4:3 monitor, try 1152x864 or 1200x900 (the latter is a custom resolution, type "-res 1200x900" sans quotes in your launcher custom flags).

[praseodym]

1152x864 looks good. Thanks guys 

[praseodym]

Ok, the story continues ;-)

I cannot run AoA and WiH1 with 3.6.17, both with 1280x1024 and with 1152x864. Both logs are attached. mv_music is renamed to .bak.

Thanks for your input.

...and now your system is crashing on stuff from ****ing retail.

Fan-friggin-tastic.

Please start FSO without any mods whatsoever, load a few missions, and post the log from that.

EDIT:

Jesus Christ wtf. Please delete everything in /home/oliver/Freespace2/data except the /players directory.

[praseodym]

Works (so far). Maybe I have to clean up my installation. Sometimes I added mods containing "missions" folders only, etc. directly into "data".

Thx.

[coupster103]

Im having the same issue. No problems running the original releases of AoA and WiH, but now that I have downloaded the new releases to move onto WiH part 3 the game will crash immediately upon trying to run it. I have fs2open 3 6 17 sse2BP selected in my launcher, but it will still not work. My mediavps are up to date as far as I can tell also.

Please run the debug build and post the log (it's Freespace2\data\fs2_open.log) as an attachment.

[General Battuta]

Do that, but also I suspect you will need the compatibility package for low-end hardware that's pinned in the forum here.
