I used different executables of fs2open but bug is still there, last was fs2_open_r-20060323.exe, my icq number is 298-084-947. I also tried -mod derelict parameter like in readme for DerelictSCP it doesnt work...

Please provide a list of files in your freespace2 directory plus the derelict directory. Also try running a debug build and attach your fs.log file to this bug report.

Going by the fs.log file, it looks as though you got an error message. I don't see anything immediately wrong with your file structure, so could you possibly post that error message and the command lines that you're using? (Copy-paste from the Launcher's "features" tab)

We need the fs.log for when you are trying to use the mod. From that log you aren't, so although it does help some, it's not a demonstration of why it's unable to see Derelict.

heres the error that i got when i ran debug exefor normal freespace, not for derelict mod:

Warning: Spelling error in table file. Please change "inital" to "initial".

And heres the error message that i got when i use debug for derelict mod, it is the same:

Warning: Spelling error in table file. Please change "inital" to "initial".
File:c:\fs2_open\code\ship\ship.cpp
Line: 2352

And finally heres the debug fs.log file when i selected mod derelict in the launcher, i uploaded it in attached files and renamed to fs derelict.log because there is one now named fs.log.

here are the command line flags from features tab:
D:\Hry\Freespace2\fs2_open_d-20060323.exe -mod derelict, ,mediavps -spec -glow -jpgtga -mipmap -nomotiondebris -2d_poof -missile_lighting -dualscanlines -orbradar -warp_flash -snd_preload -env -alpha_env -decals -fps -fov 0.50 -ambient_factor 75 -mod derelict

Looks like it's finding Derelict just fine. When you get those warning messgaes just click the "No" button and it will continue. After you get to the mainhall just go into the campaign room and see if the Derelict campaign is listed. If it's not then let me know.

To not get errors:
Try disabling mediaVP directory by editing mod.ini under derelict directory. If it still keeps giving errors or freezing, try using an older version like g-20050728, now I'm playing this mod without errors or freezing.

When i click on the No button it keeps giving me the same error. When I ran derelict mod on the retail build, not debug, the derelict campaign is not listed there. When i ran freespace2 on debug exe i cannot get to the mainhall because of that error. What should i write in that ini to disable mediavp dir, boris? I tried older builds, but it is the same.

Just keep hitting "No", it's going to give you the warning message for each error and Derelict will give you quite a few of them on startup. I'm not sure if it will work for this but try using the -no_warn cmdline option. That may silence the warnings completely but as I've never actually tried it I can't say for sure.

I have a suspicion you may have downloaded the older DerelictSCP.vp without the campaign file. Try the attached Derelict.fc2 file, put it in D:\hry\freespace2\derelict\data\missions .

Your 'inital' problem might be fixed by the attached mv_turretangle-shp.tbm . Put it in D:\hry\freespace2\data\tables . If it works, don't forget it's there -- you'll probably need to get rid of it when the next (Gamma?) Media VPs come out.

I tried your campaign file backslash and it works good thanx, but it has to work without extra campaign file. But then downloaded derelict from http://nix1999.shackspace.com/index.html and it works without extra campaign file as it should. I think i needed the patch or new DerelictSCP.vp, newer is a bit bigger. My bug is over, thanx for your time, just download voice files and PLAY!

Good to hear! Thanks for letting us know it worked. Enjoy the campaign -- you're in for a treat.

Bug resolved. [am I doing this right? :-P ]

Actually it should have been closed rather resolved since it appears to be an install issue and not some code issue that we would have fixed.
