Plas-D can be hit (and degraded using the 4:1 ratio) by non-phaser weapons, except ESG's which ignore them properly.

Undocumented feature? Bug? I don't think it matters much. Maybe a player-controlled Lyran PF might use Disruptors for anti-Plas-D duty. It's a harmless quirk in my book.

Anyways, 2.5.5.0 is superb. Great work, Taldren.

Lepton, we can test out the cloak when you have a chance. I tried some brief tests vs AI and it seemed to be ok. If course, player vs. player is the real deal.

I am having problems with the OP patches. It is not just this patch, it is all of them. I am running Windows XP. SFC:OP runs just fine as the CD version with crashes only during certain missions. When I install a patch, whether it is this one, or an older one, the game will crash to the desktop as soon as I click on the "campaign" option in single player mode. Again, this does not happen when I uninstall the game and reinstall it just as the CD version, but after I patch it, I run into this problem. To the best of my knowledge I am installing it correctly. Does anyone have any advice for me?

Thanks, I have really been looking forward to a patch that works, but no luck yet.

3dot14 · « **Reply #25 on:** October 12, 2003, 02:31:05 pm »

try deleting metaassets/db/ from you install directory after you have patched.

The reason of the crash, if this fixes it that is, is that saved games are not compatible between versions, and the existence of a previoud version saved game cause the new version to crash.

InterMech · « **Reply #26 on:** October 12, 2003, 02:46:39 pm »

Oh Boy!! Thanks alot. That was the exact problem. I am really excited now. It is like having a whole new game! Thanks a bunch!

So this is the LAST OP patch?

Captain Ron · « **Reply #30 on:** October 28, 2003, 03:09:22 am »

My question goes what changed in the Shiplist file?
As always the patch loads a defualt version, and I don't don't just want to replace it with my models custom one with out knowing if it will change things I might need. It is a lot of work to redo it so I would please like to know if anything needs to be kept?

Captain Ron · « **Reply #32 on:** October 29, 2003, 02:37:03 am »

Ok the fighters just completely disappeared after the patch!

Yeap it sure fixed the issues with the fighters, if you can not use them they cause no issues!

Ok anyone else experience this and find a solution?

"Important Note: Make sure that the properties of your Orion Pirates
desktop shortcut shows the Target of your game pointing to the StarfleetOP.exe
file and that the Start In path is correct for your game install directory. "

Captain Ron · « **Reply #34 on:** October 29, 2003, 02:55:29 am »

Yup did that before the patch and no luck on that.

Yes I actually do read those things and check before i patch good try though, NEXT!

Cleaven · « **Reply #40 on:** October 29, 2003, 09:53:20 pm »

You still have it wrong in your appreciation of the problem. What needs to be correct is the working directory, so that the game can find the ftrlist, not the path to the executable. If the path is wrong it just won't run. If the working directory is wrong then it won't be able to find any files that it expects to be in that working directory or it's sub-directories unless those locations are explicitly defined. This is not complex or mysterious or weird.

Cleaven · « **Reply #45 on:** October 30, 2003, 07:07:07 am »

What can I say? I'm sure nothing I say will be able to convince you, but you definitely have errors in fact with your explanation. Both in blaming the patching process and in describing the purpose of the Start In information. The only way you will be able to see this is by observing what happens when you change the Start In information and try to use fighters in single player mode.

(Or you made an error with the modding you did, which in itself made the initial question a bit misleading.)

Sethan · « **Reply #46 on:** October 30, 2003, 12:11:43 pm »

Simple solution:

1) find out if his install is in the default directory
2) someone send him a shortcut with the proper working directory.
