Re: MediaVPs 3.8 Discussion Thread
Hipoo have damage tiles is not a bug.

Correct. I only thought if it needs to be touched a little anyway, this could be reduced from 3 to 1 as well. :)

You just could've said that you needed testers! :D

Re: MediaVPs 3.8 Discussion Thread
It looks like outstanding work.

And yet, it is of course, missing that new HD Demon Destroyer model... ;)

Have the MediaVPs for FSPort been updated to include the new HD Apollo model? It wasn't the last time I looked a year ago.

 
Re: MediaVPs 3.8 Discussion Thread
Hi guys,

great work, thumbsup

One question: Assets alone or all assets are required?

 
Re: MediaVPs 3.8 Discussion Thread
Hi!
Unfortunately I don't know, where this belongs to (Knossos, HLP Mantis, elsewhere), but I think some optional files in mediavp 3.8.1 mod.json are written UPPER CASE, while they're lower case in 7z archive... And so, 7z downloads but fails to unpack:

Oh, and where can I get help in bringing my "MOD" to work in Knossos (just a bunch of tables I want to load when selecting mod)? The mod shows up but it doesn't load anything...

Re: MediaVPs 3.8 Discussion Thread
That's a Knossos bug. Should be fixed in 0.12.3 which I'll release tomorrow.
Regarding the other problem: You can either post on the Knossos thread or join us in #knossos on HLP's Discord.
Make sure you placed your files in the correct folder and if it still doesn't work, post a debug log either in the Knossos thread or on Discord.

Re: MediaVPs 3.8 Discussion Thread
I posted this on Discord already but having a better record of it here seems prudent. There's now a crash that I assume is related to the new Levi model with FSPort. I've only tried this with the tech room since I don't remember which missions feature it but when the tech room tries to load the model it crashes on the regular build. On the debug version it manages to load the old one.

Here's the debug log:

https://fsnebula.org/log/5b747ab1cb0d3306d3e3ff69

Again awesome job on this stuff so far!

Update: It only happens on the 3.8 nightly from 8/14

Re: MediaVPs 3.8 Discussion Thread
Just finished the FS2 campaign and have some issues.

(Using nightly 2018-08-14 SSE2 64-bit build)
1. In mission "Endgame", the Iceni stuck in front of the Knossos about 2-3mins. But I can't reproduce the situation.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0dmHRjsJJU

2. Sathanas's AAA beam can shoot through its hull.
3. No debriefing message in mission "Into the Lion's Den".
4. In mission "Exodus", "Destroy Gibborim Beams" can't be completed even the Gibborim destroyed.


 And... great job SCP/FSU team.

Re: MediaVPs 3.8 Discussion Thread
I was already working on #1 and has to do with the High-Poly Colossus' wrong size.

#2; I think there's a table flag for that. I'll look into it. EDIT: On the other hand, changing this might affect retail balance...

#3 & #4, I can't fix without more info. Those are also mission (FREDing) bugs that were probably present in retail. I'm not sure what FSU's policy has been in the past on fixing those bugs.

Re: MediaVPs 3.8 Discussion Thread
I see.  :)

About #2, I always played VE or Easy when I was kid.
I played Insane this time so maybe just my problem.  :D

Re: MediaVPs 3.8 Discussion Thread
What I mean is that turrets on new high-poly ships get the same FOV and turn rates as the retail versions. If that causes hull clipping, then it's technically an issue with the design of the model and we just need to think through if effectively changing the turret's FOV will affect retail mission balance or not.

Re: MediaVPs 3.8 Discussion Thread
#2 could break not only the retail campaign (not sure about how precise :v-old: was about that), but also a ton of custom campaigns that were made/last updated before that flag was invented.

 
Re: MediaVPs 3.8 Discussion Thread
Can someone tell me if this is a 3.7.4. with more stuff (so additional ships/weapon effects etc...) or does it also include changes to tables/models/effects that were previously used?

 
Re: MediaVPs 3.8 Discussion Thread
The GVG Anuket is centered wrong. The "auto-centering" in PCS isn't 0,0,0 as usual.

Re: MediaVPs 3.8 Discussion Thread
First I want to say I REALLY REALLY appreciate this work you guys are doing!  Do not feel like it's unappreciated.  I'd be lavishing more praise but since I'm not a developer I don't really have much of substance to add.

But a question: Media VPs 3.6.12 still required the 2014 media VPs with the multimod tag in the mod.ini for some older assets.  Is this still the case with this new release, or does this package include everything?
