People need to remember that a huge part of memory usage comes from 2 things:

1) Increased limits in game
2) Increased number of textures

Instead of a single (or for capships maybe several) textures being used for each ship, you now have at least 3, with glowmaps and shinemaps. Running without all the advanced texture options like jpgtga and pcx32 and turning off glows and specs you will see that memory usage is not significantly higher than the retail version.

Increased limits are also at fault, but we would get murdered if we lowered those.

But then, if all the shines and glows were in a single file, TGA or what have you, it'd save performance?

the out of memory thing sounds like you simply ran out of memory, try running it without haveing run anything before.

the other thing may have been fixed, I fixed something similar not to long ago

is that 3dship choice working? I know I ran out of memory, but it should not have done that.

03_08_2004 build and the -mod option
Here is the Problem, I am using the Media VP and the shine maps and high res planets in a seperate SCP folder. My intention is to be able to play the SCP with the enhancements and still be able to play retail FS2 and the TBP(also in the seperate folder. The problem is that when playing the 3-08-2004 build the animations for the intelligence and weapons sections won't play in addition to crtain pof not showing up in the techroom(namely the Rivanna and Ricshasa). Also, the briefing animations won't play and other times mainhall animations won't play.
Here is the directory structure:

the version you posted, in the beginning of this thread, is it full of the bugs mentioned here or is it the changed version? Is an unofficial version less stable/more stable than the one released on 1/20/04, in the LatestVersion website?

You basically have to play about with versions and see what works for you. I've found the 20th Jan build to be the most stable one I've seen for a while so I tend to use it a lot but if you find this build to be more stable use it instead.
