...or rename Lightspeed's Leviathan remap of the hi-poly Fenris from cruiser01x.pof to cruiser01b.pof, to match up with the Port tables.

[Goober5000]

But cruiser01b.pof is the Leviathan, not the Fenris.

[Trivial Psychic]

But when Lightspeed did his map upgrades, he altered the HTL fenris maps to create a map for the Leviathan.  Like the Port's skin, it has blue where the Fenris has red, but he named his model file cruiser01x.pof, differing from the Port's Leviathan model file designation of cruiser01b.pof.  In order to have the hi-poly Leviathan for the Port, one must either change the filename of Lightspeed's model to match the Port's, or extract the Port's ships table and change the filename referenced in the table entry for the Leviathan to match Lightspeed's model name.  While the first solution is simpler, extracting the table also allows the oppertinuty to rename the model filename for the Cain, so to use Lightspeed's custom textures for that class... if you want to that is.

ummm... I don't know if this is a problem at all, rather than my mistake...

...anyways, I ran on performance drops in 1 or 2 of the FSPort campaign missions. Especially on the mission where i was supposed to protect Bastion from Shivan fighters/bombers everything was working like a charm (fraperate>80 most times 100-120fps) untill a squadron of 4 shivans came in the scene and dropped me to 5-7 fps. The problem persisted untill all the fighters of that group had been destroyed (wingmen did a fine job hehe). After that, all back to normal again. I ran the mission twice, while the 2nd time i had turned all SCP features off, with no problems at all.

I run fs2_open_C01102005.exe -spec -glow -jpgtga -nomotiondebris -2d_poof -d3d_no_vsync -nobeampierce -ship_choice_3d -orbradar -3dwarp -snd_preload -fps

...under Launcher5

I have to mention that all latest SCP media_VPs (3.6.5) reside in the FS2 Root Directory (being updated as soon as something new comes out).

Could this behaviour be caused by a possible conflict between FSport media_VPs and the SCP ones? Has anyone else encountered this?

[Trivial Psychic]

Probably SCP ones.  More than likely, this has something to do with the animated glowmaps.

[Atkara]

I have allready transfered SCP mediaVPs to my mods folder (thus SCP will be operating as a mod on my FS2 Installation), since i found the same thing on ported SilentThreat campaign. Problem went away, I'm happy again.

Thanks for the info

i have a problem:

i extracted the FSProt 2.3 to the main freespace folder and the other files as well. but when i try to play the campaign:

1. wrong ships (no freespace 1 ships like the apollo fighter)
2. no weapons

[Goober5000]

Do you have any other mods installed?  Any table files or VP files for other campaigns (even some SCP media VPs) might override the fsport VP.

[Frenetic]

seems to work now. thanks

Okay, I've got one I've noticed before.  In the mission where you're supposed to capture the Ramses, the Shivan fighters and bombers don't ever seem to attack the cruiser.

I got killed taking that ship out in a Valkyrie to satisfy the mission... not fun.  It looks like there's an AI SEXP not being sent or something simple like that...

[Goober5000]

We've had a few bug reports on that mission.  It'll be fixed in the next release.

[Moonsword]

Another fun bug, but this one's not in the mission...

In the mission where the Herc is introduced, I suddenly don't have access to any of the advanced weapons or the Valk and the Athena.  What's going on here?

It's not the mission.  The stuff's there, but I can't get access to it.

Hey, new user here
some small things
how come i can't play the great war campaign?
the only thing from the port i can play is silent threat
and i want to play the great war campaign badly
everything else works great though
just can't play anything but silent threat campaign from the port:(
The only installation i did was extract all the vp's to the freespace 2 folder
then i was able to access everything working fine, graphics, etc.
except the music, but that's a different matter
CAN'T PLAY THE GREAT WAR CAMPAIGN
how do i fix that?
maybe if i extract the files to the right folders in the data folder of freespace 2 directory
but the readme doesn't tell me where to extract the campaign vp too, and other stuff like that:(

[Goober5000]

If you can play Silent Threat you should be able to play The Main Freespace Campaign also... they're on the same VP.  Check the campaign room and make sure you have it selected.

[S-99]

That's the thing
I can only select main freespace two campaign
and the silent threat
those 2 only

[S-99]

still no freespace campaign to select at all
even if i extract that whole vp to the missions folder and get rid of the port vp out of the main directory
stargunner had a similar problem where he could only play silent threat

[S-99]

here we go
got it fixed;)
it's all good now:D
though
on first mission of main freespace campaign
no weapons available:D
can't equip any either:D

[Galemp]

Check to see if you have any other mods installed. Look in your data/tables directory of your Freespace 2 installation and delete or rename any .tbl files you have there.

If that doesn't work, make a note of all the .VP files you have in your main FS2 folder and list them here; we'll tell you which ones shouldn't be there.

[low moral fiber]

Word.

I'm on the fifth mission (Out of the Dark, Into the Light or something) and I'm getting crazy texture problems.  Sometimes the ship I'm supposed to protect looks awful, sometimes huge sections of space are bizarre colors.  I'll exit the program and restart it, and some things will look fine and then OTHERS will start looking terrible.  This is the first mission this has happened to me on, so I'm not sure what the deal-io is.

Just for the sake of giving way too much information, here is what the folder with the FS1 port contains.

fsport2_3.vp
fsport_glow.vp
fsport_hi-res.vp
fsport_music.vp
fsport_shine.vp
sparky_hi_fs1.vp
stu_fs1.vp
tango_fs1.vp
warble_fs1.vp
the data folder, and some movies...

Now I have everything turned off in the launcher, as far as flags under the features tab go (since I assume they're to be used for FS2 only).  I'm using a GeForce 3, if that means anything, and I'm trying to play in OpenGL.

Thanks for any help!

[Galemp]

Can we see a screenshot? Maybe that will help.
