Sorry for my first post on this forum to be almost a moan.  I really don't want to, as this site has served me well with mods and installation instructions.

I've seen some other users have a similar problem to me.  I have FSO 3_6_16 and mediavps 3612.  I can run fsport-mediavps fine along with the standard FS2 with mediavps 3612.  I have tried str with both the 3_6_16 release build and the latest nightly build I could find (INF-20130209_r9527)

When I attempt to run the first mission in  ST-r, the first loading blob is filled, but the rest never load.  I can see from the display on my keyboard that one of my CPU cores remains at full load, whilst the others are unloaded.  I read that this could be due to the time to cache some files, but I left it for a couple of hours, and the loading screen did not progress.  I can load the mission if I toggle the mediavps off, but I'd rather not do that unless I really have to (sorry I'm a graphics whore).  I hope I've provided enough information and not breached any forum protocol here.  I'm uploading what I think is the correct log.

My system: Intel i7 950 OC'd to 4GHz, 18MB DDR3 1600MHz RAM, plenty of storage on a separate drive from the OS (Windows 7 64) Nvidia GTX 570

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi! o/

It isn't unusual that a user's first post is about something not working, so no problems. There's a discussion about a similar issue in the FreeSpace Conversion board just above and apparently a fixed model file for the Typhon should do the trick. So, download  this, extract the typhon.pof from the zip and place it to \freespace2\fsport-mediavps\data\models . You can safely create the folder if it doesn't already exist.

Thank you.  You're a scholar and a gentleman.

\o/ it works brilliantly now.  My god it's beautiful.  There's a world of difference using the MediaVP's.  It's like a different game.  I'm glad I asked for help.

Hi, it seems to have encountered same issue, but placing Typhoon.pof in /fsport-mediavps/data/models/ did not fix things for me....
FSO crashes as soon as i try to load Typhoon in Tech Room.

Additional debug windows showed this:

Goober probably should have included the cache file. Try this one (unzip it to your fsport-mediavps folder):

Thanks, that worked.

Nope. False alarm.

That's an ignorable error that should only pop up on debug builds. Just play on release.

OMG. How could i have missed that i'm still running debug.
<shame on me>
