Minor issues with setting up SR

Yep. However, no need to specify a custom bmp, the launcher can live without that.


--- Quote ----Should I change the items in that line to their more specific versions?  For example, since this uses 4.3.X files should I change "FreeSpacePortMVP" to what other mods use as "fsport-mediavps_43x"?

That's up to how you configured your folders - just make sure that they link to the correct named ones (so if your FreeSpace Port MVPs are in a folder named "fsport-mediavps_43x" you need to adjust it). For manual installation I always use the recentmost version of each, so I don't need an extension with the versionnumber. Also it helps me that I don't have to mess around with the mod.inis everytime a new version of, say, the MVPs is released.


--- Quote ----Should "secondrylist" be changed to "secondarylist"?

Idk about wxLauncher, it doesn't matter on 5.5g; maybe do that to be double-safe.

Mobius:
The ModDB package is essentially my SerRes v.1.0.6 folder; it includes a mod.json but no mod.ini. We'll try to set up even handier ModDB backups in the future.  :)

CT27:
I tried using the template Nightmare gave (the only changes I made were expanding the general names to their specific versions...'FreespaceportMVP' to 'fsport-mediavps_43X' for example) and I got the same issues as before.  It showed the FS1 intro and said 12 errors on the pilot select screen (though, like before, I was still able to play the game).

I'm pretty sure I did everything right.  I put the main SR folder into my Games/FS2 folder and then put the various folders in the files (models/maps/etc.) into SR/data.  That's how I've manually done mods before and they worked.  There was that small 'intro' movie file and I'm pretty sure I put it in the right place (SR/data/movies).

I forgot to change 'secondrylist' to 'secondarylist' so maybe that was an issue...I'll try it again with that change.

Probably try that. :)

CT27:
I tried it again using the template provided (though making modifications so my specific folders could be used):

[launcher]
modname      = SerRes;
infotext     = ;

[multimod]
secondarylist = fsport-mediavps_43X,fsport,MediaVPs_43X;


...and I still got the same problems as before (seeing the FS1 intro movie and a non-HD mainhall and a 12 error report).  I've tried using the moddb download and I tried downloading the individual files from fsknossos and manually putting them in my folder and I've got the same results.

However, like before...the game still works and I didn't encounter any gamebreaking errors when actually playing the campaign.
