YaTEdiGo: Ups! i tried to download this file Automated Installer (JAR, 30 kB) but the link is also broken :/

And also here, http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,42854.0.html, broken too :((

crazy_dave: huh ... that is very weird all these links being broken ... however ... there is a brand new engine FSO 3.6.14 (as opposed to 3.6.12 which is the current release) that is about to come out and maybe all these links are down because all the programs and content are being updated in preparation for the final, public release of the new engine?

That's just a theory of course, but maybe you should ask on the hard-light forums where one can find the stuff you're looking for:

Umm... sounds logical... maybe is that.

Anyway i will register and ask later :) thanks!

I updated missing links. Thank you all for a notice. Once the new engine comes out I shall adjust the guide for the newest version, maybe even add a Linux installation part.

Wow thanks! I´m going to download the FS1 port it´s the only i didnt installed, it works also with the mission pack?

EDIT: But there´s no new link for FS1 port :( , well the one for the port works what doesnt work is the one with MVP files for the port.

EDIT2: I found this one! downloading... dunno if it´s the right one ... http://www.freespacemods.net/download.php?view.639

It´s the correct one! I´m just going now to made a backup of the FS2 just in case i mess up my FS2open installation that works pretty good!

EDIT3: Everything working PEREECT!!

Now new questions ¿There are any new more mods that work soid to improve even more the models of the spaceshipts and special effects?

As a first time player, should I install this or not?

It's pretty good, I would - I did :). (I responded to your later thread too).

I did everything until Step# 6 a)
I found fs2_open_3_6_12r_INF_SSE2.exe myself, but the FSOpen Launcher does not see it. Was I suppose to configure the file myself? This is my first mod attempt, so this is all Latin to me.

Did you extract (unpack) engine files from step 4? Extract those files and launcher to the same directory (Freespace 2 main directory). Then run launcher and select BROWSE at the top. Point to correct file.

BTW this is how looks clean launcher6.ini file with engine file selected. You can create empty text file, rename it and copy-paste contents (adjust path) and start configuring from there if you like. Both ways should be fine.

#
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE
#
[launcher]
exe_filepath = E:\Freespace2\fs2_open_3_6_12r_sse2.exe;
game_flags = ;
active_mod = ;
game_flags = ;
active_mod = ;

I can't seem to get to Creative's site to download OpenAL. Tried your link, SCP's link, and then googled it myself. Does any other site host the version I need? Are others having problems getting to connect.creative.com?

EDIT: The OpenAL link is now working for me. Must have been down for a bit.

Silly question, but when I try to get OpenAL, I get an error loading the website. Is that something with my brower, or is the site down?

It is known to have downtime sometimes. Works now.

Hey guys im puzzled. I Installed OpenAL, got the "FreespaceOpenInstaller" chose "the works" let it do the downloading. The ingame doesnt look ANY different.
I maxed the graphics settings. General setting "highest" and Easy Setup "All features on"

The subspace node is exactly the same, theres no lighting to the missiles, the afterburners arent the teal color with the glow trail, no 3D shockwaves. I know what its supposed to look like (I had the SCP on a Win XP pc) But its still looks like standard FS2.

The installer gave me 3.6.14. Im on a WIn 7 64 bit pc. Help!!! Im missing out on all the eye candy!

In the FSO game loader, you have to select from the mods to run the mediavps otherwise the game will use the standard assets.

My god, works now. Looks even better than i remember( i had 3.6.9 on Win XP couple years ago) Thanks. Can multiple mods run at the same time, like the FS1 port with the graphical updates, or the new graphics+cardinalspear?
