OpenGL 2.1 belongs to the operating system iteration before OSX Lion. The newest OGL that apple supports is 3.2, which is Lion (10.7) and beyond. If you are on Lion and are completely up to date, you shouldn't still be on OGL 2.1.

Being on OpenGL 3.2 could probably fix all your problems as well.

So how do I do that?

[jg18]

It's simple. You can't.

You'll need to follow The E's instructions and get the compatibility package (first post of this thread) and the FSO 3.7 release candidate (RC) 2.

Hi Guys ,

Even after installing the latest nightly builds as suggested in the first post of this thread and downloading the compatibility vp's I am not able to run the game . 

Installing the compatibility package atleast got me from not being able to launch the game at all to atleast able to get to the main game screen . I can view the tech room etc.. However still not able to launch any BP missions itself . Here is the relevant piece of error from the debug fs2_open.log:

Please help ! 

Code: [Select]

MISSION LOAD: 'bp-00.fs2'
Hmmm... Extension passed to mission_load...
Using alternate ship type name: Knossos Portal
Starting mission message count : 244
Ending mission message count : 250
ERROR: ERANGE: String error. Please Report.

Can you please post the entire log?  This may be related to a long install path and the rest of the log will give us that (plus other) info.

That looks like a long path issue alright, unfortunately Freespace2/FSO has problems with long paths like the one that you're using.

Please move your Freespace2 install directory from here 'C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG.com\Freespace 2\' to here: 'C:\games\Freespace 2'. 

Then also move the blueplanet mod directory from here 'C:\games\Freespace 2\FreeSpace2\BP WiH\blueplanet\' to here: 'C:\games\Freespace 2\blueplanet'. 

Finally, rerun the launcher and check that the blueplanet mod is correctly selected after the directory moves.

That did the trick.. Thank you so much  !! I am finally able to play the game

It's better with the patch but...

[The E]

It seems that you have altered the mod.ini and the locations in which mods are installed. This is a bad thing which we do not recommend; BP currently does not play well with the 2014 MVPs and still relies on the 3.6.12 ones. The blueplanet folders (blueplanet and blueplanet2) as well as the MVPs should be in your FS directory, not in some "mods" directory.

[Luis Dias]

The_E, can we expect some way to install BP through the FSO Installer at some point, or are you preparing everything to come together when you release the director's cut (with the VOs, new non-compability pack mods, etc.,etc)?

[cahdoge]

I changed it to use the 2014 media VPs
so i replaced the entry in the multimod.

but deleting the multimod entry has no impact.

The problem is caused by something different.
 It's irrelevant if the multimod is enabled an also if I'm using the 3.6.17 or the 3.7.1 build I always get the self warnings in the debugger.

I'll give a try with the 3.6.12 build.

[General Battuta]

The problem is caused because the game can't find the MediaVPs. It looks like this is because you didn't install them in the right place.

See how you have C:\Games\FreeSpace2\Mods/blueplanet\adv-bp.vp? That will cause huge problems if you try to run BP2, and I'm betting it also has something to do with why the game can't load the MediaVPs (causing all the errors you're seeing).

Nuke your BP install and reinstall like this:

Your blueplanet folder should be located in C:\Games\FreeSpace2\blueplanet
Your blueplanet2 folder (if you are using it) should be located in C:\Games\FreeSpace2\blueplanet2
Your mediavps_3612 folder should be located in C:\Games\FreeSpace2\mediavps_3612

You do not need to worry about getting a 3.6.12 build. You just need the mediavps_3612, and you need to have all your folders in those locations.

Sorry about the hassle. Creating a subfolder like 'mods' will break Blue Planet and any other FreeSpace mod with a dependency structure. If you have any more questions or problems, please just let me know and I'm happy to walk you through fixing them.

[cahdoge]

Thanks for the information.

But the Media VPs Mod is working out of the FreeSpace2/Mod/MediaVPs_2014 Folder.

I just tried It's also irrelevant if it's sitting in the /Mod Folder.

[General Battuta]

You need to make sure the 3.6.12 (not 2014) MediaVPs are installed to C:\Games\FreeSpace\mediavps_3612.

Please follow my instructions, then generate a new fs2_open.log file and post it. We can work from there.

Much better. The game is now loading a mediavps_3612 folder - see:

Found root pack 'C:\Games\FreeSpace2\mediavps_3612\MV_CB_ANI_2.vp' with a checksum of 0xb58a1f46

The problem is that you don't actually have the mediavps_3612 installed there! Please install the 3.6.12 Mediavps to C:\Games\FreeSpace2\mediavps_3612.

ninjad

that mediavps folder looks a bit empty to me. you sure it's filled with the usual awesomeness? You should have some 11 (?) vps there at least, 12, if you count with the mv_advanced.vp

What it looks to me is that fso tried to bring some effects to memory but couldn't find them because it didn't load the mv_effects.vp
