Did you get the revised version from the 3.6.12 release thread? I Did and it has them both.

[Kolgena]

Maybe not. I grabbed them the first time Zacam posted links in this thread, which was a few days ago. Brb.

Edit: Thanks for that. I now have a better basilisk and a better aeshma.

[Zacam]

Kolgena: Keep the main-f and main-v, the rest of them are in the MV_Root.3612.vp.

MV_Effects_Update MD5s seem to be incorrect.

Good catch. Post updated to correct values.

The links are really hard to see.

[Archaic]

i should have clarified: i dont know what an md5 is or how to get the thing to download.

i knew where the release thread was >.>

[Edit]

facepalm

[Zacam]

I just went and added "Download Link:" in front of all the FSMods links to hopefully clear up any confusion.

Added a Quote tip regarding MD5's and how to get them, hopefully that will be helpful as well.

[Kolgena]

It's just that link text is too similar to normal text. Hopefully that'll get fixed soon though.

There was a period of about two hours today where the colors seemed to change every ten minutes.  Change to default theme for awhile or hang on for the ride.

I'm a little confused by the recent mvps update, excuse me for being slow. The three new vps at the bottom of the release thread, are they now all we need in the folder mediavps_3612? Or do we just bung them in there with the others. I've got a 3612 update vp in the folder that I'm wary of deleting.

[Zacam]

Raiden: The only items you should need in your MediaVPs_3612 folder in terms of VP's are the ones found in the First _and_ Second post on the Release thread, nothing else.

3613_Update.vp and Ant-Cache.vp are obsolete and can be deleted.

[Raiden]

Cheers bud.

It's come to my attention that many folks don't have the FS2 cutscenes some how.

I'd have thought the Installer covered that some how. So, in case you have an install that has NO movies playing (intro, etc), Post #3 in the Release thread has the links to FSMods for the OGG (and MVE, but I recommend the OGG unless you HAVE to run the Retail Exec) VP package.

[Kolgena]

I think that's been the case for years now. Back when I first installed the MVPs using the installer, I was missing the cutscenes.

[Jeff Vader]

Well, wouldn't it be a logical assumption that if people have a legitimate (and full) copy of FS2, they also have the cutscenes? (Ok, there's the option of GOG users who have the cutscenes in \freespace2\data2\movies or \freespace2\data3\movies and who cannot find the FAQ and therefore cannot find the instructions that tell them to move those cutscenes to \freespace2\data\movies .)

[Kolgena]

I actually never owned a copy of FS2. I got the game back when it was still open source and downloadable from here.

But for modern times, Vader has a point.

The game data has never been "open source".  The engine itself has been open source since released it.  Also, there is no reason that you can't buy a copy from GoG now just so that you can say you own a copy of FS2.
