I always check the mod.ini's for new mods I get, some have "mediavps" some have "mediavps_3612"

[Stardust]

Well, I think it works, but it crashes when I commit to mission.

[General Battuta]

Generate a fresh log and post the whole thing please (pastebin it if it won't fit in an HLP post).

Also be sure to create a new pilot.

This is quite a bit of trouble for a mod that's usually so stable, I hope there aren't any corrupt files at work.

[Jeff Vader]

Yeah, it's kind of a stupid clumsy system but it's what we've got.

Well, it's better than retail's "throw everything into \freespace2\ and hope you remember to remove them if/when you want to play another mod".

Oh, I SEE now! It's preprogrammed to look for specific directories, and if it cannot find them... That makes a bit more sense.

Actually, when you use the Launcher to select a mod folder, that mod folder will be used.
If that mod folder contains a file called mod.ini, that file can instruct the game engine to use other folders as mods at the same time.
The "secondarylist" line gives the names of folders that are to be used as sources for mod assets after the folder you have selected in the Launcher.
The "primarylist" line gives the names of folders that are to be used as sources for mod assets before the folder you have selected in the Launcher, though it is needed very rarely (actually, so far only in Silent Threat: Reborn).

Also, the next time you post logs or other pieces of long, non-regular language texts, use this button.

I always check the mod.ini's for new mods I get, some have "mediavps" some have "mediavps_3612"

Wasn't this made to let older mods that havn't been updated yet use the 3.6.10 media VPs to avoid possible incompatibilies? In my experiance the only mods that use "mediavps" are back from the times of 3.6.10 or before.

[Stardust]

Well, it works up until I commit to a mission, or go into the tech room and try to read up on the new units.

[Jeff Vader]

post the whole thing please

[General Battuta]

The useful stuff is at the beginning of the log.

[Dragon]

Yes, stuff at the end is used mostly by devs to debug things related to WiP modifications they're working on (to find what they did wrong or trace an engine bug).
If there's a problem with installation of a mod that should work correctly, you should check (and post) the beggining of the log, as all general info is there.
