i hate the mediavps asteroids, they're making it so i cant play the mission in Sol, were you search the asteroid field. Is there a patch to disable those things?

[Jeff Vader]

No. They will be fixed in the final release.

Alternative solutions include:
- switching back to the 3.6.8's
- extracting the asteroids from the 3.6.8's and using them in conjunction with the 3.6.10's
- not using the MediaVPs (which is not a good method with Blue Planet).

[Titan]

or move the mod.ini to a temp directory every time i come across a mission with asteroids... yes...

[Droid803]

That's not too good of a method either. Its the same as completely not using it. Something in that mission might need the MVPs.

****z...

How about extracting the retail asteroids to mediavps\data\models?

Well, that's almost the same thing as

- extracting the asteroids from the 3.6.8's and using them in conjunction with the 3.6.10's

[Titan]

but won't the vps override them? and, uh, i don't have the 3.6.8  and don't ask, i have no idea why i don't

[Jeff Vader]

but won't the vps override them?

Anything in an appropriate subfolder in \modfolder\data\ will override anything in a .vp in \modfolder\. These are FreeSpace modding basics. You should be ashamed.

and, uh, i don't have the 3.6.8  and don't ask, i have no idea why i don't

Suit yourself.

[Titan]

i'll get them later.

Isn't AoA a mod of its own right? The flak explosions look way cooler and different from the normal mediavps 3.6.8 as well as the different beams.

I thought that mediavps were only meant for normal campaigns like Trascend, Sync, DEM, Homesick etc   

[Androgeos Exeunt]

AoA is complemented by the mediavps. It has its own vps that contain all the special effects and extra ships, but it still relies on the interface that's supplied by the SCP mediavps.

The mediavps can and must be used with any mod or campaign that is not standalone. It should also be used to play retail stuff. It should NOT be used with standalone campaigns or mods such as The Babylon Project and FSPort.

It is a mod like any other mod.

The MediaVPs are meant for making anything prettier. Except TVWP. Furthermore, AoA has issues without the MediaVPs.

Well I completed this campaign and I have to say that this was impressive. Impressive and disappointing. Disappointing in that it ended. A few minor glitches but a great story line that was well done. It would make for a good philosophical debate. The ending of this chapter was a good twist. I now need another!

This was the first FS2 Open campaign I played; I look forward to more.  Very good work.

All things must come to an end   Fortunately there is another chapter in the works

[Droid803]

Well, somethings don't, but then it just gets annoying...

I see you you know my wife

[blowfish]

Err ... shouldn't this thread be stickied?

[Droid803]

Yeah, probably.

[eliex]

Definitely. This thread is where the whole BP saga began!

Thanks for helping me clear this up.
