Yes.
Also i downloaded 3.6.10 version of the Campaign (The link of the Darius), and the result is same - hanged game.
Deleted INI and BMP - works perfectly (for now) and the weapons fire is fine.
I'll try to do the same with Derelict campaign.

I'm thinking there must be something wrong with your mediavps. Lobo, you're the expert here.

Deleted INI and BMP from derelict mod.
IT WORKS PERFECTLY!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know what to think...

[Dilmah G]

Well you see what that's doing is telling Freespace not to load the mediavps (in most cases). Leading to my conclusion that something is wrong with your mediavps.

[Skywalker]

What if i unpack the Mediavps (the complete pack) and replace the original VPS by the unpacked ones?

[Jeff Vader]

The .bmp is a bitmap. A picture. You can see it under the Launcher's MOD tab if your currently selected mod has a bitmap in the folder and the mod.ini file is referencing to it.

And yes, deleting mod.ini files makes the game engine to not use the MediaVPs with the mods.

Perchance you should make sure that all your drivers are up to date. Especially the graphics card drivers. Also, your rig probably can handle all the MediaVPs, but you might want to try it without the advanced stuff. So
- move MV_Complete away from your entire \freespace2\ directory
- go to the 3.6.10 MediaVPs release thread (link in my signature) and download MV_Assets, MV_Core and MV_Effects
- place these .vp files to your \mediavps\ folder
- try to run the game.

Hmm, I'm thinking corrupted MVPs

Nope. 5253 is the magic number.

Uh, wut.

[Skywalker]

I want to take Mediavps complete pack (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,58230.0.html).
Unpack it.
Use the files from pacto replace th VP files uses in game for now.
Will it do do any result?

[Jeff Vader]

You want to extract the contents of MV_Complete and use the files without them being packed into a .vp? You can do that, but it won't accomplish anything.

.vp is a convenience format. Instead of forcing people to fiddle with the \data\ folder and sorting stuff into proper subfolders, they just take one .vp file, punch it into a mod folder and that's it. If you extract the contents of MV_Complete and place the files properly into subfolders under freespace2\mediavps\data\ , it will have exactly the same effect as just having MV_Complete in \freespace2\mediavps\ .

[Skywalker]

Understood.
Thanks.
I'll Do as you told

[General Battuta]

That being re-downloading the MVPs from the release thread in the Freespace Upgrade Project forum, not the installer?

Because it sounds kinda like corrupt MVPs. Or did we already go over this?

[Jeff Vader]

The MV_Complete seems to be complete, as in it has 5253 files. My suggestion was to try without adveffects but we'll see.

[General Battuta]

That sounds like a very good plan.

[Skywalker]

 Deleted Complete pack.
Put effects, core, assets. - still freezing
Removed effects - still freezing
removed INI - works perfectly

The moment before freezing (it was during the weapon loading) i saw that every gun and rocket have detailed info.
Now, without INI there is no such info

[General Battuta]

Remember, all that removing the .ini does is turn off the MediaVPs.

Maybe your computer just isn't powerful enough to handle the MVPs?

You did redownload them from the release thread, not from the installer, right?

Maybe he needs to clear his cache?

From here - a list of individual VPs .

Maybe he needs to clear his cache?

How can i do this

PS
Is there any special screenshots folder or i need to use graphical editor to make screenies from the game?

Depends. If you've selected the \mediavps\ folder as a mod, they will be used regardless of how many mod.inis you happen to destroy. If you get purdy graphics with, for example, Blue Planet even though you've removed the mod.ini from the \blueplanet\ folder, something wrong is definitely taking place.

FSO is handy in this regard. If you hit PrintScreen during gameplay, it'll take a screenshot and save it automatically to \freespace2\screenshots\ in .tga format. You may want to / need to convert it to .jpg or .png before posting.

[Skywalker]

So, What now?
All we know for now is that there is smth wrong...
Anything we can do to know what?

[General Battuta]

Give us screenshots of your FS2 directory and your MediaVPs folder.

Try running the game with only the MediaVPs selected as a mod (select the MVPs folder in the Launcher's mod tab.) See if you still get the issue.

[colecampbell666]

Get a shot of the Blue Planet folder as well.
