Whan i play the PTV Isis is invisible ! I can see the engine and the gunframes but not more.

That's odd--it sounds like you're missing a texture. Can you take a screenshot please? Also, are you using the regular FS2, FS2 Open, or FS2 Open + Media VPs?

Sorry i cant make a Screenshot because Im just traveling. The PC that have installed the Game is at home. But i sent you one as an pm when i am at home.  
I use FS2 with the FS2Open-Installation in the ! SAME ! Directionary. As Mod the FSport-mediavps are selected.

In the Simulator - where you can look at the ships   this one has no Animation - a few other too.

What animation are you referring to?

I mean the animation from that ship you can see in the window. Just viewing the other ones - but by this ship the window is only black.


PS: Sorry for my english ^^ Its just a little schoolenglish

Ah, I think I understand--you don't have the 3.6.10 MediaVPs installed. You need those! Just as FSPort needs the original FS2 to run, so do the FSPort Media VPs need the original Media VPs to run. Follow the directions in this post. It will make FS2 look a hell of a lot better too.

I thought the 3.6.10 MediaVPs are online and downloadable with the Installer or not ?

[Galemp]

They should be; I haven't checked.

Just run the Installer again and it will update the Media VPs, if it can.

[Jeff Vader]

And if they aren't, you can always download them manually here.

No unfortunately not yet. Ran into the same problems and download them now manually after renaming my old mediavps folder.

Excellent! Far too many people have just stuffed the new MediaVPs in the same folder as the old ones and then wondered why nothing works.

Okay... That sounds good.
Hm... I think my Problem is the Mod-Selection. Do i have to select "mediavps" as Mod or "fsport-mediavps" ?
Currently i think the fsport-mediavps are the 3.6.10 vps for  FS1.
What happens when i select the "normal" mediavps ? i mean the Apollo in the fsport-mediavps looks great an i will not miss it ^^

okay - what folder i have to select ?

No unfortunately not yet. Ran into the same problems and download them now manually after renaming my old mediavps folder.

Okay i test it on Sonday 23:00 European TimeZone ^^
I hope there no CRC-Problems as on the last VPs that was packed in rar-folders.  I downloaded them before a long time and on every download there was an crc-error.  I see it on Sonday.

[Jeff Vader]

okay - what folder i have to select ?

For FSPort: \fsport\.
For pretty FSPort: \fsport-mediavps\.
For FS2: nothing.
For pretty FS2: \mediavps\.

Hm - okay... After i updated my Installation and reinstalled it after it wasnt working i mean to see the folder "Fsport-mediavps" the firsttime. I mean it downloaded this. But currently i have selected this folder and have the one "Problem" that i cant see that damn "PVR (or PVC, sry) Isis" .
Switching between D3D and OpenGL have not worked.  That could be a little difficulty problem...

1) Download the latest nightly build.
2) Extract the contents of the .7z file to your \freespace2\ folder.
3) Select fs2_open_3_6_10d-20081217_r5008.exe as the used game engine with the Launcher.
4) Run the game until you get to the Main Hall.
5) There now is a file called fs2_open.log in your \freespace2\data\ folder. Post it here as an attachment.

Okay as i said i can make this steps on sonday. no other way. sry ^^  but i write you an P.M.

Does Turey's installer download the modified campaign files that integrate the Fall of Vasuda Prime cut scene?  Or do I still have to make the modifications manually?

You have to make the modifications yourself, as currently the slots where the cutscene should go are occupied by existing, canonical cutscenes--and you can't play two cutscenes in a row. (The FS2 endgame was an ugly code hack and can't be reproduced.) I have a novel solution to this but it will take some time to implement.

Understood.  I have two problems though.  One I have can't find the file and I'm not sure what tool I need to use for to make this modification.  Are there more in-depth instructions available?

Eh, the cutscene thing is... more of a bonus at the moment. It's really not designed to be slotted into the campaign. If you don't know what you're doing it's probably best just to watch the AVI.

As far as WhiteFox's problems go I'm positive it's because the Isis model in FSPortMVP is referencing textures found in the 3.6.10 Media VPs (which it can't find.) The problem (I believe) is that the FSO installer hasn't been updated with the new MVPs.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Retail FS2: Unzip to your Freespace2 directory, and make a new pilot. To return to the FS2 campaign, move, delete, or rename the extension of fsport3_1.vp. The readme should help answer the most common questions.

FS2 Open: Unzip to a new 'fsport' directory in your Freespace2 directory, and select it from the Mods tab of the launcher.
If using the FSPort Media VPs, unzip them to a new 'fsport-mediavps' directory in your FreeSpace2 folder. Be sure that you have the 3.6.10 MVPs installed in 'mediavps' and you're using a 3.6.10 build. If you're playing a mod that uses FSPort, add 'fsport-mediavps' to the mod.ini just before 'fsport' in the SecondaryMod line.

Man your installation instructions are confusing.

I got a couple of questions.

1. I downloaded all the files you listed, and a lot of them include VP files. Which ones go in the fsport -mediavps folder?
2. The files I unzipped came in their own separate folders. Do i keep them in those folders of put them all in my main fsport mod directory?

Any help is appreciated.

EDIT: This pic is in regards to question 2.
Is that right or should the things in the folders be in the main directory?

1. I downloaded all the files you listed, and a lot of them include VP files. Which ones go in the fsport -mediavps folder?

The FSPort MediaVP Pack (mv_fsport.vp and the mod.inis and such that came with it).

2. The files I unzipped came in their own separate folders. Do i keep them in those folders of put them all in my main fsport mod directory?

Well, you appear to have extracted each .zip into its own folder. But the point was that mv_fsport.vp and the other files that were in its .zip go to \freespace2\fsport-mediavps\. The rest of the FSPort files go to \freespace2\fsport\.

[Macfie]

You should use a folder for the fsport media vp files other than fsport -mediavps because this will cause problems with the launcher.  You should rename the file to fsportmvps or somthing else without the dash in it.

So is the correct order for using fsport in linux: -mod  fsport,fsport-mediavp,mediavps ?

Does the fsport-mediavp need to be in a seperate folder or can i just let it in the fsport folder?

[smurd]

No. Use: fs2_open -mod fsport-mediavps,fsport,mediavps
Otherwise, the standard models from fsport, e.g. for Apollo, will be used instead of the better ones from
fsport-mediavps. Also, you need to put the fsport-mediavps VP into it's own folder. If you put it into the
fsport folder, it's contents will not be used correctly due to the loading order.

By the way, the mod.ini included in the fsport mediavps package has the proper configuration, just use it, e.g.
with yal (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,53206.0.html)

Thnx copy that.
