Freespace 2 HD mods, Freespace open etc
Hello Freespace community ! I am an avid player of the Freespace games, but got tired of the old textures and 1024 x 768 resolution on modern desktops. I have already tried to augment the game by using Freespace open and the wxlauncher, but it doesnt seem to function properly ( I'm getting dll errors ).

How do I make the enhanced edition run on Winows 10 ? And how can I extract sound files and/or videos from briefings etc ?


Thank you for reading and replying ! Have a nice day :)

FreeSpace open should work fine on Windows 10. What kind of error do you have, exactly? Can you post a screenshot?

Have you tried using the FreeSpace Open Installer?

Could you please be more specific about the errors you're getting? Myself and others use FSO under Windows 10 without issue.

And how can I extract sound files and/or videos from briefings etc ?
To access data from the VP files you'll need a tool for that purpose; I personally use VPGUI, but there are several alternatives.

<Aesaar> literary criticism is vladimir putin

<MageKing17> "There's probably a reason the code is the way it is" is a very dangerous line of thought. :P
<MageKing17> Because the "reason" often turns out to be "nobody noticed it was wrong".
(the very next day)
<MageKing17> this ****ing code did it to me again
<MageKing17> "That doesn't really make sense to me, but I'll assume it was being done for a reason."
<MageKing17> **** ME
<MageKing17> THE REASON IS PEOPLE ARE STUPID
<MageKing17> ESPECIALLY ME

<MageKing17> God damn, I do not understand how this is breaking.
<MageKing17> Everything points to "this should work fine", and yet it's clearly not working.
<MjnMixael> 2 hours later... "God damn, how did this ever work at all?!"
(...)
<MageKing17> so
<MageKing17> more than two hours
<MageKing17> but once again we have reached the inevitable conclusion
<MageKing17> How did this code ever work in the first place!?

<@The_E> Welcome to OpenGL, where standards compliance is optional, and error reporting inconsistent

<MageKing17> It was all working perfectly until I actually tried it on an actual mission.

<IronWorks> I am useful for FSO stuff again. This is a red-letter day!

<MageKing17> TIL the entire homing code is held up by shoestrings and duct tape, basically.
