No english text,laungage, or cutscenes?

You have to use the FSO installer to get them:

"Your fighter is running out of oil.  Please check under the hood and add more if necessary"
--strings.tbl, entry 177

"Freespace is very tired.  It is shutting down to get some rest."
--strings.tbl, entry 178

 
Re: FreeSpace Port 3.5 + FSPort Media VPs Release!
Well, I cant get them from the installer because i have the CD version of FS2.

 
Re: FreeSpace Port 3.5 + FSPort Media VPs Release!
If you have already installed FS2, that doesn't matter. Just point the installer to your FS folder, and it'll do the rest.

The Installer isn't only for installing FSO (or FS2 for that matter).  It's also for installing mods.

 
Re: FreeSpace Port 3.5 + FSPort Media VPs Release!
Oh lol. Didnt read correctly. I thought FSO Installer wouldnt work with CD fs2.

Re: FreeSpace Port 3.5 + FSPort Media VPs Release!
Apologies for what's probably a simple question, but it's an issue I haven't dealt with in a while (I haven't played FS1 in a while).

I want to play the original FS1 (through FSPort with the latest graphics...MediaVPs2014).  However, when I bring up mods in my launcher it looks like there are two tabs that I could choose:  "FSPort MediaVPs_2014 v 3.5" and simply"FSPort 3.5".  Which one would I choose?

If you want to play with the MediaVPs, you choose FSPort MediaVPs. If you want to play with the original graphics, you choose just FSPort by itself.

Thanks.  I tried the one with 2014 in the title and that worked, I got the 2014 VPs.

However, when I tried simply "FSPort 3.5" I got better than original retail graphics, they looked like the 2012 VPs at least.

It could be that you have a stray VP in your path, or a different command line than you expect.  Could you post your fs2_open.log file?  Instructions on how to do this can be found in this post.

I think I was looking at things wrong, I tried it again and it looked like retail.

Here's the log in any case.

Command line looks good.  If you see retail models now then it looks like things are working fine.

 
Re: FreeSpace Port 3.5 + FSPort Media VPs Release!
I seem to have a problem with 3.5, don't know if it's intentional.

I installed everything manually. Downloaded the FSport Mediavps and the Mediavps 2014 patch, extracted them to the fsport-mediavps_2014 folder. All ship models look good except for the Valkyrie, Anubis and Aten who are still displaying the old models.

Here's my log if it helps.

Thanks for such an amazing port.

It looks like you've unpacked the FSPort MediaVPs directly into the FSPort folder. They need to be in their own mod folder to work properly. Otherwise they'll get overridden!

Re: FreeSpace Port 3.5 + FSPort Media VPs Release!
Yep, that fixed it.

God, I need better reading comprehension, I had all my files jumbled up :banghead:.

Thank you very much.

 
Re: FreeSpace Port 3.5 + FSPort Media VPs Release!
Hey everyone!

I am having some issues with my Freespace Port. I cannot get any of the voice acting from the original game, all I get is a women's voice similar to Siri. Am I missing the wav files or any other files that are associated with the command briefing/pilot/command voices? thanks!

Re: FreeSpace Port 3.5 + FSPort Media VPs Release!
:welcome:

The FreeSpace Port does not officially provide the voice acting from FS1.  You can try moving the WAV files from FS1, or using the FreeSpace Open Installer to install the Port.  (Note: the FSO Installer requires Java.)

 
Re: FreeSpace Port 3.5 + FSPort Media VPs Release!
Thank you! I downloaded everything from 3.5 but I was able to get the voice acting by grabbing the stu_fs1.vp from a previous version, however I have one last question. The only thing missing now is the sounds for the cannons and the lasers. Explosions, missiles, and ships all have their sounds, but whenever I fire my cannons there's nothing. Is there any specific file that I can grab (in this case I am taking files from v3.3 and applying it to v3.5) that can add sound to the cannons? Or is this a similar issue of the port not having the correct file? Thanks again.

Heads up.. I need to shut down my old server (lunardigitalproductions.com). If you guys are still relying on any files being hosted there, I recommend uploading a mirror and updating your installer files.

Re: FreeSpace Port 3.5 + FSPort Media VPs Release!
Noted, thanks.  I just checked and the FSPort installer text file doesn't link to anything on lunardigitalproductions.com.  The cutscenes and main halls were already mirrored on our FSMods account.
