ERROR: Can't open model file <fighter04.pof>

does Cardinal spear require FSPort to be installed?  opening port up fighter 4 is the Apollo

[Mongoose]

Yes, Cardinal Spear is a FSPort campaign.

[Goober5000]

This is wrong:

Code: [Select]

-mod fsportcardinalspear
The folder should be fsport-cardinalspear, with a dash.  And the mod command line should have fsport itself appear first.

Can you post your mod.ini?

[Yarn]

Awakenings, Cardinal Spear, and Destiny of Peace don't even include a mod.ini file for some reason--only the VP is included. It's probably a good idea to add mod.ini files to these campaigns so other players don't get this problem.

[MatthTheGeek]

I guess it's because they were retail mods, so before the mod folder system and mod.ini's were implemented. Easy fix though.

[Goober5000]

Aha.  We'll fix that then.

[Mongoose]

My copy of Cardinal Spear seems to have a mod.ini, though at least by default, it doesn't include fsport-mediavps.

[Yarn]

It looks like you get the mod.ini files if you use the installer to get the campaigns; here are the links to those additional files. You'll have to edit them to use the 3.6.12 MediaVPs, as they currently point to the older version.

Awakenings: mod.ini
Cardinal Spear: mod.ini, launcher graphic
Destiny of Peace: mod.ini

[shadowman2011]

That's so true. None of them have a mod.ini. There are two files 'fsport-cardinalspear.vp' and 'fsport-cardinalspear-voice.vp' and one folder 'data'. which contain 'multi.log' and 'cache' with 'subspacenode.ibx inside of it. And that is it. So what do I do next? How do I edit the mod.ini that Yarn suggests?

[Jeff Vader]

You'll notice that the mod.ini looks like

Code: [Select]

[launcher]
infotext     = Three years after the destruction of the orignal Lucifer, the GTA begins to rebuild their systems while fighting the Shivans and the Hammer of Light.;
website      = http://fsport.hard-light.net/;
forum        = http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/board,39.0.html;

[multimod]
primarylist = fsport-mediavps;
secondarylist = fsport,mediavps;

[settings]
I will assume that your 3.6.12 MediaVPs are in a folder called "mediavps_3612" because that's where they should be. Therefore, you will edit the "secondarylist" line of the mod.ini. It just contains names of mod folders that you want to use in addition to the selected mod (Cardinal Spear), so just edit it into

Code: [Select]

[launcher]
infotext     = Three years after the destruction of the orignal Lucifer, the GTA begins to rebuild their systems while fighting the Shivans and the Hammer of Light.;
website      = http://fsport.hard-light.net/;
forum        = http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/board,39.0.html;

[multimod]
primarylist = fsport-mediavps;
secondarylist = fsport,mediavps_3612;

[settings]and life is good.

[shadowman2011]

That was the solution the mod.ini file. I edited and cardinal run flawlessly. I finished it already.
Copy Yarn files into notepad, edit them as Jeff Vader says and save them into their respective mission folder as mod.ini.
Thanks you guys.
