Regardless, I managed to unzip the files, so it's a moot point now, am I right?

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Maybe.

I run OS X and use 7zX along with Archive Utility and StuffIt Expander.

[CaptJosh]

I only use 7zip on my Windows box anymore because Winrar, while having a nice GUI and being most cooperative, kept nagging me to register. I HATE nagware.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Actually, I find WinRAR to be a very entertaining nagware. I like to compete with it and see which one finishes first, my file extraction or the popping up of the dialog box.

[Mongoose]

Protip: if you use the WinRAR right-click context menu option "Extract files...", you never have to see that dialog box.

Who added the MediaVPs to Turey's Installer? There have been like a dozen reports about them being corrupt this week. The symptoms are always the same: missing models, missing textures, game crashes when just trying to play the FS2 campaign... the source used by the Installer is obviously having issues.

Don't want to sound angry or rude, but you know. This can be a little frustrating/intimidating/depressing for new people.

[Goober5000]

I added the text file, but Turey added the mediavps themselves.  Since the Installer doesn't support 7zip, he had to download them, re-compile them, and upload them to his own server.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Are you implying that the files on his server may be corrupt?

[Goober5000]

I'm not implying anything.  But if the FSU guys want to re-upload the mediavps in zip format, that might help.

[Kiloku]

Umm, Demonoid isn't working. Can't someone upload the .Torrent file here? Please?

EDIT: Btw, I'm talking about the Complete pack

[utops]

HI!

RELEASE: 3.6.10 Media VPs

    * If you are getting "Error: mv_strings-lcl.tbm is corrupt" at startup with a non-english FS install, extract 'mv_strings-lcl.tbm' from this file into your "\Freespace2\mediavps\data\tables" folder. If that folder doesn't exist, create it.

This solution do not work for me... im so angry right now 
Pls. help me fix that issue before my head blow off

Polish version? Hmmm...

Well I suspect I know what the problem is, but I'll need to do a bit of research before I could provide a possible solution. :\

[utops]

Hi...
I dunno what i do ... but it works now
First i just upgrade f2open to latest nightly build, then in registry editor make change from english to polish and polish to english in language key. ( yes that is weird)

Then edit   mv_strings-lcl.tbm :

Code: [Select]

#Polish

and it is done

maybe it helps someone in the future.
@ Vasudian Admiral
Thx for fast reply it inspired me to research on my own

[Vasudan Admiral]

Heh, just finished my own research. Adding

#Polish

#end

to the end of mv_strings-lcl.tbm works in the same way, and won't crash non-polish versions. This will be in the pending MVP patch, and I'll update the mv_strings-lcl download in the MVP release post for anyone encountering the problem in the meantime.

Edit: Updated the link and added to SVN for the patch.

[Mobius]

Do you have support for the Italian translation?

[blowfish]

Note that the sections added to mv_strings-lcl.tbm are just empty sections to keep the game from crashing.  There is no translation going on...

[killme101]

Hey guys. I just noticed the new MediaVPs and got myself a new fresh install of Freespace to try them out. However, I'm having some serious issues and can't figure out why.

- Issue 1: I'm getting errors such as "ERROR: "Bad ID in model file <bomber04.pof>" at model/modelread.cpp:2014".
- Issue 2: Parts of ships are missing! The textures aren't being rendered I guess? Screenshots are attached.

It's currently unplayable for me, but I certainly hope it will be soon.
I'm running this with a 2.5GHz dual core AMD processor, and a GeForce 9500 GT 512MB 128-bit gfx card. Thanks in advance for your help!

[Jeff Vader]

This issue has been discussed repeatedly. Your MediaVPs are corrupt. Please redownload them (or at least MV_Assets) manually.

If you used Turey's online java installer to download the mediaVP's there's a high possibility that the MV_Assets.vp is corrupt partially, which could cause errors in some models and textures.

To me it looks like you have both model file errors and missing textures, so as the first recommendation I would suggest that you re-download the Assets VP from FreeSpaceMods (link found in the opening post of this thread), or if you did so, re-extract the file and check it's integrity with the MD5 checksums.

And like Lobo said, it's actually recommendable to download them all manually, since there might be issues you haven't noticed on other VP's as well.

[Ninjoel]

I'm new to the whole freespace open thing, and while trying to figure it out for nearly 2 horus i've given up and decided to look for help.
When i run mediavps as a mod (or any mod for that matter) I click on the button that gets you into the campaign (Campaign room?) and it loads for a second, then crashes, either by saying there was an error and needs to close or by just closing.
I know whoever reads this will just tell me I'm a retard and show my stupid and obvious mistakes... but it's worth it for such a great game...
