Error when installing freespace demo?

[carvedeye]

Hi whenever i try to install the demo i get an error which says "interpreter: Executing non-function in line 9". Has anyone got any ideas as to why? Im running AmigaOS 4.1 on a sam440ep.

TIA

With older systems it usually popped up when having an old version of installer.

A native update to Freespace for OS4.1 is coming soon, with its own installer that can install from the original Hyperion CD.

But this is a fresh install of amigaos 4.1 with update 1 & 2?

Oh wait, you're talking about the demo? I don't know if a new demo will be available...

[carvedeye]

So do i need a new installer?

[xeron]

Well. Its possible to modify the existing freespace installer to work on OS4.1, but I don't think the WarpOS build of the game even works on OS4.1.

So what is the best way around this for me to get the installer to work? I really want to play this game.

If you remove the lines that cause the problem, the installer works. But like I said, I don't think the game will work for you even if you install it.

An update for the full game will be out soon. I don't know if a new demo will be published.

How do i remove the lines ? sorry im a total noob with the amiga OS

[xeron]

If you run notepad and load the installer script into it, its just a text file.

But like I said, even if you manage to install it, it almost certainly won't work.

And what lines do i remove? sorry im still pretty new to all this

Your first post in this thread mentions line 9, that might be a place to start.

contact AFX Group at their homepage..I don't know about the demo but the game installer is flawless and the game is stunning on my Samflex:)

@klx300r
You are talking about Freespace 2, which is a different game. This is Hyperion's version of Descent Freespace: The Great War we're discussing here.
