Re: Just Another Troubleshooting Thread
I'll do a manual install later after work. That installer is....irksome, I find it always updates what I don't want it to, big mods like BP meaning delays to what should be a case of installing JAD and playing JAD.

Re: Just Another Troubleshooting Thread
You can always uncheck everything except JAD to make sure it downloads first, and then run it again to upgrade everything else.  That does sort of presuppose that you know in advance that other mods will update, though.

You can't uncheck anything already installed.

The Arrety and Explosion seem to have multiple personality disorder, you can order them to attack random shivans and they'll switch personas from Holley to Anna to generic pilot and so on. It's actually pretty funny!

On that note, tell Hakase to capture one of the ships a second time. Then watch as it docks and flies off with that ship at 90m/s.

Re: Just Another Troubleshooting Thread
I successfully ordered the GTC cooker and the GTFr cake pan and poor freighter to attack my targets. They are also schizophrenic and switch between fangirl, Holley, Delta 1, and Anna at will. Not Epsilon 1 though, noticeably!

Got killed in the endless gauntlet but instead of getting a debriefing with a score, I got the normal restart/back to Briefing/quit menu. I should point out that I was killed by my own weapons. Does death by friendly fire not count towards getting a debriefing? That damn Lilith just had to turn gold just before my pair of trebs connected.
If I agreed with you, we would both be wrong

Re: Just Another Troubleshooting Thread
Pressing the left and right mouse button when inside a visual novel section causes a weird lua error. It's not game breaking or anything like that because you can continue after it just fine.

I also encountered a crash when I ran out of time while fighting the Sathanas "boss" in the endless gauntlet. I would like to investigate what causes that but playing though the entire gauntlet to get to that part is a bit frustrating. Do you have a debug command or something like that for skipping to that section? That would help me very much.

I also found and fixed two bugs while trying to reproduce the crash so thanks for breaking FSO in creative ways :P

Re: Just Another Troubleshooting Thread
Sweet. Glad JAD can be of help in such ways. :p

There is a debug shortcut to the final boss... I'm at work so I don't have the mission in front of me, but I think it was go into cheat mode with www.freespace2.com and then press 4? It'll either skip to the final boss or just start the bosses without the kill requirement and you can just ~k them quickly.

Re: Just Another Troubleshooting Thread
Ok, thanks. I'll try that after I fixed the next issue (the descripting length of the Lightning Spear is too long and that causes assertion errors). Also, at least the Dividiel can't be ~k'd. If I do that the health bar stays there but no new boss spawn.

Re: Just Another Troubleshooting Thread
m|m: try out the attached mission file. Turns out I completely disabled the sath shortcut, but its back now. Use cheats and press 4 to activate. Cheats and 1 key was the boss rush start combo, which I guess you found out.

Dekker: Are you using a very recent nightly? Also

Code: [Select]
Searching root pack 'D:\GAMES\Freespace 2\JAD2-2\jad222_assets.vp' ... Failed to read file entry (currently in directory )!

Is sorta concerning. Try redownloading that file.
