Mirror Mirror problems
« on: May 28, 2005, 11:41:09 pm »
The problem I am having is that I can't see my own ship in combat, nor am I able to target any other vessels. Also seems like the AI is controlling my ship, because it will change heading now and again. (Logged in as Terran, no idea if the same happens for fed ships)
I also can't see the pics of the ships when I click on them in the shipyard, I can see the hardpoints, but not the actual ship outlines.
First I installed OP, then the 2.552 update, and then the mirror mirror final installer. Am I missing something?
Also, if I uninstall mirror mirror, then I can log onto the other servers, (well server I guess) and play with no problems at all.
Reinstall MM and the same thing happens again.
Will try a full clean install tomorrow and see if that works, but I thought I would post here in the meantime, in case I was supposed to install something else as well and missed it :)
Hope I can get it working, because I havent flown in a couple of years, and would love to get back into it.

Thanks

I have also ran into a problem.
  I ran a routine mission with my DNG, which had all of 4 missions under it's belt.  It was a standard patrol, only ai, 3v3.  The mission was in a black hole, and ran fine.  My team had all 3 ships left when mission ended with the message that I had won the mission, and the usual damage screen after.  When I got back to map, I was in proper hex, for about 2 seconds, then I was back at my nearest base. 

Upon looking up for resupply, because I had no idea why I ended up there  ???, I noticed I now have a DN+  :( . It appears the game took my ship, just confiscated it  :police: .  Honest officer, I wasnt speeding.

I realize there is not really anything that can be done about it, just thought I would mention it.

Yes you are missing one component...

To play on Mirror Mirror, you need to install the game, patch to v2552, then get OP + v4.0 located

http://www.dynaverse.net/forum/index.php/topic,163350701.0.html

Then install the Mirror Mirror installer...

If you are flying Terran side, then when you right click on a ship to see it's description, the UI will not be present.. only the specs and HP's of the ship will be present.. this is because the Klingon interface does not recognize Federation ship UI's.. There is a work around for it IIRC, but too much work for just a 2 week server.

Hope that this helps.

I noticed a download link to OP+ 4.0 after my post and was wondering exactly what it was, (sorry relatively new to OP, I mostly flew plain ole SFC2) Just on my way to work right now, but I will try that as soon as I get home. Thanks for the replies guys. Hope to be up there soon :)

Thanks Pestalence, that was exactly the problem. Installed OP+ 4.0 and all is well. I can't believe that people are still playing this game! It's great, especially since I don't much like SFC 3 at all. Not seeing the ships in the yard is fine, but not seeing your ship in combat, makes it a little too hard :)
