Re: Single Player mini-mod WIP

Having trouble getting the SP mod to work.  Regular FS was installed and was able to get into a game and toy around.

I also have 2142 Delux Edition.

I installed FS SP into 2142's Deluxe Edition's Mod directory, so it is a seperate folder from First Strike itself.  I also used the conversion patch for FS SP & Deluxe Ed/North Strike and installed it into the same directory.  A new shortcut appears on the desktop for "FirstStrike SP" but when it's used, I get the message:

"The item 'Operation Shingle.png' that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly.

Do you want to delete this shortcut?"

I looked all around the FS level and FS SP level folders and there is no Operation Shingle anything.

With normal First Strike, I can log in, get to Single Player but only Battle of Yavin appears.

What am I doing wrong?

Re: Single Player mini-mod WIP

Hello.

This happens due to an error in the installer. When it creates a shortcut on your desktop, instead of doing it correctly, it thinks it's looking for an Operation Shingle picture.  There are two solutions to fixing this:

First, if you have a BF2142 (not First Strike) shortcut on your desktop, make a copy of it, enter its properties.  In the "Target" field (I think), there may be things at the very end that say things like +fullscreen 1 +modPath/BF2142 +windowed 0 etc.  Go to the END of this line and add +modPath/FS_SP - capitals are important.  Make sure you identify the shortcut so you don't mistake it for regular 2142 and try to sort it.

Second, you can try launch FS_SP from ingame.  In either First Strike or BF2142, go to the Community -> Mods/Custom Games button and select FS_SP.  Even though doing this restarts the game, and does the shorcut stuff mentioned above automatically, for some reason it doesn't work for everyone.

Re: Single Player mini-mod WIP

FS_SP mod has not been updated to support the 1.5 version of First Strike.    I have been working with the team on getting SP/coop support integrated into the mod.   Bandomeer and Yavin coop/sp in 1.5 version of First Strike currently offers better dogfighting gameplay with bots than another of the other space maps in FS_SP anyway.   My intent all along was to eventually integrate the mods together with the priority on using maps that offer the best gameplay with bots - mainly the land maps.   

I must complement Twigs as instrumental in getting SP/coop into the 1.5 release, as I had a lot of real life stuff going on and did not have the time this past year to do it myself.    Without all his hard work and pushing of sp/coop, it would not have happened.

Re: Single Player mini-mod WIP

I'm just sorry I couldn't get round to getting everything in. Now 1.5 is out and I've blitzed some bugs I hope to be able to get back to helping Dnamro implement some more of his maps.

Re: Single Player mini-mod WIP

The hard work done by both of you is much appreciated, by us, and I'm sure by those who prefer singleplayer games, or just fancy something different to multiplayer.

Cheers guys.

Re: Single Player mini-mod WIP

Hi guys

I've found a post of Twigs on moddb.com FS-SP mod comment page ( click here ) with a date of Sept 14 2010 where he wrote the following lines:

... The single player mini mod for First Strike version 1.4 is no longer supported. I can not help you with any problems you may be experiencing with it as I did not work on the add on for First Strike/2142.

On the other hand, I did help Dnamro with singleplayer and co-op integration. If you wish to play with Bot support for Singleplayer or Co-Op then you should download First Strike version 1.5. This latest release has ai fully integrated within the mod and no longer requires a seperate file/installer. ...

This seems quite unambiguous I'd just like to see things clear, that is:

does this mean that First Strike 1.5 now includes conquest cooperative / sp mode for all of its maps

and

First Strike 1.5 does not support FS_SP minimod at all ?

It's not the place or the time what's really important in the Universe but the speed ...
