Title: 1999 Graphics in STR
Post by: Javito1986 on August 19, 2009, 11:36:24 pm: Yea, so I got a new computer in June and am now reacquiring Freespace. I downloaded Hip's SCP installer off the main site, most everything is working smooth. FSPort is looking as beautiful as ever but...

STR isn't looking so hot. Looks decidedly vanilla to me. Not really sure what's up with it but... erm, it doesn't look like FSPort at all. (http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/3807/fs2open3610200908192333.png)

It's not just my imagination is it? It's like the mediavps aren't working with STR at all.

Here's the issue: Silent Threat Reborn and the FSPort Media VPs are their own mods. You need to enable them both simultaneously.

So here's what you do. Select "No Mod" in the mod section, and then add this as a custom command line option:

Code: [Select]
-mod fsport-mediavps,fsport-str,fsport,mediavps

Code: [Select]
[multimod] primarylist = fsport-mediavps; secondarylist = fsport,mediavps;

Post by: Thaeris on August 20, 2009, 01:01:54 pm: I had a stranger problem still (though it's been fixed for a while): It was necessary for me to install the high-res interface art to get everything working properly with ST:R... why was this the case? I just can't say...

Post by: Galemp on August 20, 2009, 04:44:43 pm: Installing the high-res interface art is necessary if you're playing in high-res. If the game can't find the art it's looking for, you run into problems. Just as if the game was looking for anything else and couldn't find it.

Post by: Narwhal on August 28, 2009, 10:37:26 am: Since I have the same problem (game can't launch, ask me for some Interface art), how do I download said Interface arts ?)

I used Turey Installer, the new Media VP are there, so I don't know where to find the interface arts.

Thanks.

Post by: Galemp on August 28, 2009, 10:49:43 am: High-res interface art is in the release thread. (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,58357.0.html) It requires the high-res art from the base FS2 install too, of course.

Post by: Narwhal on August 28, 2009, 10:59:32 am: OK. I download them again, but note that in the launcher the "hi res pack (sparky_hi_fs2.vp) installed" box is checked (but greyed). And I found said sparky_hi_fs2.vp. Is that a different file ?

Plus, I used the Turey Installer (new non-Turey release), so maybe there is a problem with it on that.

As a side note, saying how to have a mediavp ST:R campaign in the readme doc could be useful (even though I figured out due to forum research).

Post by: Narwhal on August 28, 2009, 11:18:24 am: OK, it's working.

Thank you a lot.

I believe Turey Installer should install it as well.
