I used the Blue Planet complete installer.  I selected the BP executable using wxlauncher.

I can see the intro fine, but when I go to select a campaign, FSO closes and I get a dialog box with this text:

Verify failure: vb->model_list->vert != NULL

ntdll.dll! ZwWaitForSingleObject + 21 bytes
kernel32.dll! WaitForSingleObjectEx + 67 bytes
kernel32.dll! WaitForSingleObject + 18 bytes

fs2_open_3_6_17_SSE2_BP.exe! <no symbol>
fs2_open_3_6_17_SSE2_BP.exe! <no symbol>


I'm probably overlooking something very basic, but this is my first tie trying blue planet so I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.

Thanks!

EDIT: when I selected debug mode, I got this text:

sorry, please move this to the blue planet board if it belongs there!!

Your errors sound like you've got a corrupted install somehow.  Unfortunately I'm not at my main computer so I can't verify all your VP checksums, hopefully someone else can swing by and do that for you.

One issue I did notice though is the version of FSO you're using.  That version has a critical bug that will destroy your pilot at some point after you play the redalert missions in AoA.  I'd recommend getting the build from this thread and using that.

Your install looks really good to me, unless I'm missing something obvious - well done! Particlesmoke02 isn't a BP-specific asset...do you get this problem trying to use the MediaVPs on their own?

We really like people trying out BP and we want to help you play the campaign, so I'm happy to stick with you until we get this issue solved.

Ah - mediavps_3612 checksums I *can* verify on this PC

And you seem to have a few problems there, try redownloading these VPs.

Code: (mine) [Select]

MV_AnimGlows.vp' with a checksum of 0x6a554026
MV_Assets.vp' with a checksum of 0x529cc70f
MV_Music.vp' with a checksum of 0xb3e21469
MV_Root.vp' with a checksum of 0x6ffd5c78


Code: (yours) [Select]

MV_AnimGlows.vp' with a checksum of 0xc7df2ca9
MV_Assets.vp' with a checksum of 0xbb2bf924
MV_Music.vp' with a checksum of 0x8323c26e
MV_Root.vp' with a checksum of 0xef5d3830

I appreciate the patience - I really haven't played much with mods, and this is my first time using the wxLauncher.  I tend to spend more time in here reading about the games than playing them. 

I deleted my BP folders and reinstalled from the complete installer again (before I saw this most recent post), and I grabbed the build niffiwan suggested.  I also made sure I was using a newly-created pilot. 

So far no issues with media vps 2014 on FS2 main campaign, but even that I just starred playing again today.  I see that the media vps 3.6.12 are shaded in wxLauncher, but I have not tried them on other mods or campaigns.  I am reinstalling those right now, using goober's installer (since HE FINISHED IT!).

I'll check back in later tonight.  Thanks!

Could you please pay extra attention to the Sathanas in SM2-08, a Monster in the Mist ?
Some people experience bugs in this mission, with the whole ship becoming invisible, and other issues.

Reinstalling the VPs seems to have done the trick!  I will have to wait for the kids to go to bed to actually start playing, but I am able to get into the game now.

Thanks so much!!

Awesome, have fun and share your thoughts.
