Summary0002281: FS2 can not Start> cfilesystem.cpp:305 - String error
DescriptionI get this error on FS2 Start.

ERROR: "ERANGE: String error. Please Report. Trying to put into 128 byte buffer: *.[vV][pP]" at cfile/cfilesystem.cpp:305

I tried fs2_open_3_6_12_INF_r, fs2_open_3_6_12_r from official Final build and even a Version build from Source (6.8.2010) - the same error.

fs2_open_3_6_10 - works fine.
Additional InformationI installed Freespace 2 with wine (GOG Version) and upgraded all with FreeSpaceOpenInstaller.jar

Then i copied fs2_open_... in this directory.

I use FS2 launcher YAL 0.3RC2.

System:
Kubuntu 10.04 32 bit
AMD Barton 2500, GeForce 6600 GT
TagsNo tags attached.

Please run a debug build and attach an fs2_open.log.

I found the Problem.
Path was too long!

---------------------
In cfilesystem.cpp under "int cf_get_packfile_count(cf_root *root)" is in new code no longer:

if(strlen(filespec) + 10 >= sizeof(filespec)) {
    Warning(LOCATION, "Could not concatenate '*.vp' to filespec; path too long.");
    continue;
        }
---------------------

I don't now, what consequences it has, but 3.6.12 will not start.
I would be nice, if some message window jumps out, when something like this happens.

...

Please run a debug build and post the fs2_open.log file it generates in ~/.fs2_open/data

Because that's an error that should not happen.

What is the path that you have installed FSO in?

 @rscaper1070: It is a similar issue, but not caused by the same thing. Yours is likely caused by a corrupt multi-mission-pack.vp. If removing that file does not fix the issue, please create a thread in the "FreeSpace & FreeSpace Open Support" forum, http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?board=151.0 after reading the "FSO FAQ" posted at the top of the Support forum (in particular make sure that you generate an fs_open.log as detailed in the "FSO FAQ").

Closing due to a fixed multi-mission vp being uploaded.
