TBP with FSO3.6.12, effects ooops!?!?
Since I installed FSO 3.6.12 and mediavps_3612 with TBP, all explosion effects are just expanding squares of black!
Gameplay is OK otherwise.
OK, what gives, and what did I not do correctly?

To elaborate, the 3.6.12 MediaVPs are designed to be used with FreeSpace 2. Using them together with TBP is a very wrong thing and, as you noticed, will lead to errors. The upgrade pack for TBP is called Zathras, and can be found here: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=71789.0

Since I installed FSO 3.6.12 and mediavps_3612 with TBP, all explosion effects are just expanding squares of black!

I had the same problem, but I fixed it by using Zathras 2.0 and playing around with the launcher graphics features.

wesp5,

Thanks. A very direct answer.
I had installed Zathras 2.0 (also!).
I use the standard effects as when installed, and make no changes.
Do you have "other" recommendations?!

I don't think you should be using the 3.6.12 MVPs with TBP.

Sadly I don't remember which parameter solved the problem, but make sure you start a new pilot with 3.6.12 and Zathras 2.0. Also in my case there was a black box around the explosions, but they could still be seen inside...

wesp5,

Thanks again.
I re-loaded all (with corrections!), started a new pilot, but still, I have the same effects.
One good example is Raider Wars where I destroy a Vorchan. All the effects were normal until the Vorchan blows up, and that's when I get the "black, expanding square" instead!
I'm going to change Features, one at a time, and see if I can "dig it out"!

...

Okay, here's step one you should do. Start the debug exe (fs2_open_3_6_12d_INF), run it until the pilot select screen, then quit.

After that, go to the data folder in your TBP directory, and post the file named fs2_open.log found there here.

Just post the log. Then people like me can tell you what's wrong, and how to fix it.

The problem was with my Vid Card. It finally blew up!
Replaced and all is as it should be now!
Better with a GeForce anyways!
Thanks to all for the help.
And now, back to play!!!

 
Re: TBP with FSO3.6.12, effects ooops!?!?
But i have still problems since i´m using zathras and fso3.6.10 and later zathras 2 and fso3.6.12. Everything worked as it should with the fso3.6.9inf but the new campaigns require zathras... The major problems are the graphic errors like unrendered areas on the capships (for example the top fin of the sharlin). Some ships producing something like a grey shadow. Tried to post a screenshot but failed, can´t paste it. Oh and sometimes the game just crash... especially when trying to start the fh-triology. Some Help would be great!!!

P.S. This happens when trying to use the debug_inf:
Starfield bitmap 'xparent' already listed as a xparentxparent bitmap!!  Only using the xparent version!

You need to be using 3.6.12 with Zathras 2.0. 
No-one ever listens to Zathras. Quite mad, they say. It is good that Zathras does not mind. He's even grown to like it. Oh yes. -Zathras

 
Re: TBP with FSO3.6.12, effects ooops!?!?
Thats what i tried. downloaded zathras 2.0 and the 3.6.12 files. Selected zathras as the mod and choosed fs_open 3.6.12_r_inf as the executable. Then started and the result i already posted. Tried to update my graphic driver or change video configuration in the launcher (16bit instead of 32, bilenear instead of trilinear and so on) without any effects. Thought the problem might be known... I even tried the 3.6.12_r_inf_sse2... System specs: AMD Turion 1,8 Ghz, ATI Radeon xpress 200m 128MB. Went back to 3.6.9 inf build and everything is fine again but can´t play FH2261 f.e.
Thanks again!

Run the debug build and post the fs2_open.log from the data directory.

Re: TBP with FSO3.6.12, effects ooops!?!?
Ok will post the fs2_open.log later, when i´m back home. Is there a possibility to paste a screenshot to show you what i mean? You really make my day, if we get this fixed!!

 
Re: TBP with FSO3.6.12, effects ooops!?!?
ok here´s the log and as i mentioned i don´t even come to the pilot select, when running the debug...
