Thank you guys
.
At LAST, I made it. I'm having real problems to upload things, to Megaupload, Mediafire or whatever, from all computers in this island. It's odd. We need optical fiber pronto
. Well, here it is. The mod is compressed in ZIP files.
Well, this is my mod. It's just a security copy of it, but can be played without problems. So you can consider this a beta release, or something like that
. Remember to use an inferno build of FSO 3.6.12 (or higher?) in order to play it. And put voices and music to max volume in the in-game options screen.
I must point out that this mod still depends on the Media VPs 3.6.12 resources. That's effects, maps... So I made a temporal fix: the Media VPs without tables. It is absolutely recomended that you download it, if you want to see how this mod will look like in the future. The TempFix package is down there available to download along with the mod.
The mod isn't complete yet, and there are some bugs I have to find out and correct. 43 currently.
And a message to the modders (and everyone interested) around here. There are many new sound effects, music (from other games mostly) and some modified textures. Take them all if you want, guys. Use them at your discretion and enjoy.
I haven't prepared a credits txt yet. It is LARGE... Needless to say that this mod has been done thanks to the hard work of the FSO and FreeSpace community, and of course Volition. So thanks to ALL of you... And much of the material of my mod comes from many different sources outside this community (music, sound effects...), mostly from other games. So many many thanks to them too. I'll prepare that credits list eventually, when the mod is done. If it is done... I hope. Well, if you want me to keep working on it.
Known bugs:
- The Crusader heavy fighter (bomber2k.pof) makes FreeSpace 2 crash when its shield is hit. I had to remove the fighter from the ASF Sim mission. Cause of the crash: unknown.
- The Nowak Sedulous (bulkfreighter.pof) makes FreeSpace 2 crash when it explodes. I had to remove the freighter from the ASF Sim mission. Cause of the crash: unknown.
- When launching the game, you'll recieve two errors, both before reaching the pilots selection screen. Click Ok on them to enter FreeSpace 2. I don't see they have any effects in game. Cause unknown, effects unknown, for now.
- And right before the pilots selection screen, you'll get an error screen, indicating that there are 43 bugs in the mod (maybe caused by bad tables. Stars.tbl, for example, isn't worked yet). Just accept the message and enter the game.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SXCRRBGDThere is a problem with the mod.ini, I'm sorry.
Delete the 'mediavps_3612' entry in secondarylist. Secondarylist needs to be in blank, no secondary mods.
I recommend to put music and effects volume at maximum. I've made some dogfight simulation missions. Go to the Single missions menu, and look for the file names that start with 'Sim'.
Now i'll try to upload to Mediafire. That one gave me bigger problems than Megaupload last time. The web page sends me "an arror has occured" message from the beginning.
