Honestly, the problem is what I said. get-object-x works as shown above in newer builds of the game engine and differently in older versions. It's one of the few things I had to update. Whatever version of the game engine he is using, he needs a newer one. I'd recommend one of the new release candidates.

Thanx for advice, with 3.6.9-RC3 build I don't get that error

[Ecthelionn]

I was having the same problem with Hell and Back.  I tried downloading 3.6.9-RC3 and copied the fs2_open_r.exe to the babylon project directory.  However, now I'm getting an error when I try to run the game.

Error: ships.tbl(line 1501:
Error: Required token = [#End], [$Subsystem:] or [$Name], found [$animation=triggered].

File:C:\temp\fs2_open_3_6_9.rc3\code\Parse\PARSELO.CPP

You likely haven't followed Step 5 in the Instellation thread (stickied).  Furthermore, you should check out towards the bottom of the Problems & Solutions section, for problems with newer builds and -nobeampierce.

Hey all, I'm having this same problem (as loneman had).

Problem is I can't figure out how to fix it.  I am running FSO-3.6.7 when I get that error at the start of (actually, while loading) Hell and Back.  I tried switching to the 2005_12_22_p4 build but it didn't help.  I don't really want to bother with making the 2006_01_09 build to work because I already know Loneman was having this problem with it.

I see the solution is to get a newer build, but where do I get that at?  Forgive me, as I'm new around here, but I can;t seem to find anything on SCP's site any newer than the 3.6.7 build.  There are quite a few "Recent Builds," but the latest one is dated Aug. '05, and as far as I know, 367 was released after that (something like Oct. 05 I think).  Where do I find this 3.6.9-RC3 build at?

Also, on a side note, can anyone tell me what CVS builds are?  I keep seeing that at the SCP site, but I can't find anything that says what they are.  Please PM me the answer to this so as not to clutter this thread any. 

Thanks,
Cory

I don't think the team mind a little bit of activity here

Recent\CVS Builds
When one of the coders has a feature he wants tested he'll release a build of the game for people to play with and bug-test. These builds can be found in the recent builds forum on HLP.
In addition to this CVS builds are also posted there on a regular basis. The purpose of the CVS builds is to combine all the work that the coders have done and make sure that it all works well when put together.
In general CVS builds are very stable. Often more so than the official builds. The general response to someone posting a problem with an official build is to tell them to check the most recent CVS build to see if the problem goes away. However on occasion CVS builds can be very unstable if someone has just checked in a piece of code which is incompatible with something else in CVS. For this reason people new to the SCP are generally advised to try out an official build first and only move on to CVS if there is a problem or once they are a little more comfortable with the way the SCP works.
Other recent builds on the other hand make a very poor choice for your first build. This is hardly surprising as they generally released when a coder has a feature he has just finished writing. Often the feature just doesn't work plain and simple and crashes the game the first few tries. For this reason you should steer clear of these at first unless you actively want to help bug-test.

My advice. Go to the SCP forum and in the recent builds subforum you'll find a thread for 3.6.9 RC 6. Grab that. You won't need the patch VPs as they are for FS2. That should solve your problem.

You know, call me old fashioned but maybe it would be easier if the SCP/FSOpen people had a maintained web site with easily identifiable download links? Just a random thought ported straight from my brain to the keyboard with little care or attention.

[karajorma]

We're in a transition period at the moment. We're moving away from having everyone using CVS builds for every problem to having a stable build which will get it's own bug fixes when problems occur.

Once we've moved over properly the SCP site need only contain links to the official releases to stay upto date. Bearing in mind that at times we could have 2-3 builds posted in a day when everyone was firing on all cylinders adding CVS and test builds to the site would be a real nightmare.

[n003lb]

OK, thanks guys.  My problem was I was looking at the forum at SCP's site, not their forum here at HLP.  I just downloaded the 3.6.9 build now, and I'll try it shortly.

[kmunoz]

None of the download links are working from the TBP main site, or any of the links listed in the forums (as far as I've been able to determine). Is there a current functioning download site for the RW 2.2 patch or any of the other files?

[Trivial Psychic]

It would seem that TBP no long has a subfolder on downloads.hard.light.net.  The server move is likely to blame.  Not sure if/when it'll be restored.  The ball's in the HLP Staff's court on that one.

[Edit]

OK.  I don't seem to have access to the folder right now to make changes to the links, but if you take any download link that starts as http://downloads.hard-light.net/babylon/xxxxxxxxx.exe and change it to http://babylon.hard-light.net/downloads.hard-light.net/xxxxxxxxxx.exe you should be able to download it.

[Edit2]

Never mind.  I've updated the links on the site for both Base and Campaign downloads.

[DrunkenPirate]

Is there any place I can get this 2.2 patch at all?

The stargame link is a 404.

i've a problem in the 4th mission of raiderwars...
everytime i launch the mission the squad gets out of hyperspace and a second later these huge bunch of rocks explode and kills my squad...
maybe this a fredding prob but

[IPAndrews]

Run away from the rocks quicky, skip the mission, wait for RW 3.0. Take your pick.

[stargate2008]

Is there going to be a RW 3.0?

[Trivial Psychic]

I suspect it will be updated for 3.4 official.

[IPAndrews]

It's done but I'm going to see if I can persuade MAG to redo the backgrounds since he did such a good job on his EMW campaign.

[Huggybaby]

The 2.2 patch is labeled 2.02 here: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,43703.0.html

I don't know if it's a different file or a typo.

how can someone accomplish this skipping you talk about?
(I'm stuck in an other mission and trying again and again just isn't  fun anymore :-/)
