SFHQ, I can login. Every mission I go into the I get the UI but the Ship and playing field is Black. I can adjust Power speed everything. But can't see any ships or space. After awhie I crash to the desktop with no error.

I hope there a fix for this.

And Checking by running a single player camp to make sure it work

I just check with OP Stock and patch 2552 and so far so good.

Thx for letting me know. Will fix tomorrow after I get back.
More then likely it'll require a slightly amended version of TheForgeScripts2, so be on the lookout.. I will be sure to let you guys know if I do.. fairly sure I know what the prob is, you wont need to reinstall or anything, so look for something about it tomorrow if Im right

Four of us ran many missions last night without a hitch.  No carriers though, so I can't comment on the report of a fighter bug.  The AI had no problem launching fighters.

Good to know, but I still will fix the fighters.. so check before you log on again at 8:30PM EST to be sure I havent updated the .exe .. I will be taking a look at in about 1 and a half hours or so

I just tried a fighter mission, was just as was told earlier.  Entered fight, had no fighters on my ship.

Also the fighter list given isn't the SFB fighter list, it had the Jay fighters and such for the Feds, not F-4, F-8, A-10 etc of SFB.  Not a big deal, but I still don't know what a Jay carries.  (I keep a fighter list pulled up so I know what fighters to buy).

[marstone]

okay a silly question I should know the answer to.  The Shiplist and fighter list for online games is in what directory?

is it starfleet command orion pirates\Assets\Specs?

and what is the directory for the local game one?  Things just don't seem to match up right.

Updated TheForgeScripts2(now 15.5MB instead of 10MB) to include some additional files. Please redownload it if you have downloaded the previous version and have it installed. You wont need to uninstall or anything, just run it over your current install of the Forge.

[FCM_SFHQ_XC]

Some notes before we start tonight:
Server Wise:
-Keep in mind we have, in this mini-campaign, completely switched shiplists and fighter lists to SFB
-The number of mission possibilities is now basically double of the orig Forge, so do expect some of the new missions to possibly be bugged. If so, just report here, and if its a major thing I will pull the mission from the selection list.
-As this is the latest build of the SQL server, we need as many people as we can possibly to get on, preferably the same or more in numbers of a full fledged campaign! When it crashed due to player load we get some good data on how to improve the code.. so get on!
-I do expect bugs to pop up, weird anomalies to appear, so if you spot anything please post it here..
-If the server does crash at all, or requires a reboot to get rid of ghosted players, please PM Me, Braxton, or Frey.
Player Wise:
Please try to keep even numbers on each side.. gets things much more interesting

I downloaded the new forge pack, installed it, played a game.  Still no fighters on the Carriers.  Also still seeing the Jay fighters for the feds.

As a test I bought a Klingon carrier and, poof, no fighters seen after launch.
Something's not right.
I think we should fix it before we launch the campaign, just in case...
But, since we all have the same issue, I'll bet it turns out to be something simple.
Model Pointers maybe...?

OK, umm can someone send me a copy of the SFB fighterlist(not the one that you have in the Forge install, but a independent copy), and shiplist to be safe .. there is a chance mine I have was corrupt, though I severely doubt it since I haven't touched it..
this is rather puzzling since in looking just say at the hydran Stinger 2..
Hydran   H-St-2   OPPLUS/MODELS/HFT/HFT.MOD

and that file is there.. right where its supposed to be.. <_<

Send it to my e-mail in my profile please.. we need to eliminate me as the culprit here just to be safe. Puzzling indeed.. I'll keep the dry run up for now, and what I will do is when we get this fixed, I will manually redo the map to reflect the progress you guys have made in it, so head towards your VCs for now, your progress will be saved

[marstone]

  Is it possible that the Forge server has a different version of the fighter list, it not checking if we have the same one, thus when the information is passed off to the game, we don't have the data for the fighter that is suppose to be on the carrier so the game deletes them?

It just clicked...it's using the OP+4.0 models instead of the SFB ones.
The Klingon carrier I had had the OP+4.0 ones available only.

no, since the game validates that file with your install.. if it mismatches you get an error.
