Re: MediaVPs 2014 Discussion thread
Could someone update the asset thread? Quite a few ships listed as not done/WIP are, in fact, done.
Right now, from what I've gathered, there's very little of the unupgraded stuff.
Terran:
Hygeia
Argo
Hippocrates
Zephyrus
Myrmidon
Boadicea
Ganymede
Vasudan:
Bes (and container)
Ra
Shivan:
Rahu
Demon
Azrael
Mephisto
Asmodeus (both with associated containers)

I've seen some amazing WiPs on most of them. Demon and Zephyrus are being actively developed, Axem made an amazing Mephisto (dunno what happened to it) and both Argo and Hippocrates had models made at some point (untextured, though).

the number of Demons I've seen half or more finished...

Re: MediaVPs 2014 Discussion thread
You probably have english root file. You have to download german root from here:
http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=85492.0
Replace english root file, with german one from the link above. Than... Well. Use your regedit :) ...and change the language in windows registy. I don't know where it is in other operational systems. In Win7 it's in: HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Classes -> VirtualStore -> MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Wow6432Node -> Volition -> Freespace2.
Find "Language" entry and change it from "English" to "German". As I know, German is fully supported by MediaVPs.

Re: MediaVPs 2014 Discussion thread
Also,  3.7.2 RC1 is two release candidates out of date. 3.7.2 RC3 was recently released. I can't recall off the top of my head if any localization bugs were fixed between them, though...

I do apologize for this bump but I can't seem to be able to download the MediaVPs, are the links down? If so, is there an alternative location I may receive the mediavps?

Re: MediaVPs 2014 Discussion thread
y u use 5.5g??

u most update to use wxlauncher so better!

http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=67950.0

also,

Actually, it's more like welcome back. Used to go by CaptJosh. Last post on that account though was back in 2012. And actually, I did end up switching to wx because 5.5g finally crapped out on me. I wouldn't say it's better exactly. It supports everything 5.5g did. But I do get to use a common supported interface both on my windows and Linux machines, so that's a plus. Another plus is the profile option to quickly select a set of settings. An additional plus is the inclusion of common recommended lighting presets, as well as some quick feature presets in the Flag sets combobox.

The mod selection system I don't know that I like better though. On the old launcher, I could, IIRC, browse to a folder outside my root FS2 folder to load a mod if I wanted or for some reason needed to. (If I'm misremembering, I'm sure someone will feel free to point that out to me.) I think the option to select the root folder of your FS2 directory is odd. This launcher should be portable and just be able to be dropped in that root folder so such an option is simply not needed, though the ability to autodetect all available FS2Open binaries and put them in a combo-box is nice, along with being able to refresh the list. The long list of check-boxes for feature selection is also a curious choice, IMO. I rather liked the combo-box that let me select which set of options was visible to me. It made it easier to sort through.

Moving on to cross platform disparities I note the following: in windows, I can plug in my joystick after I start the launcher and have it scan for new joysticks at the click of a button. In Linux I just have a message that says I have to restart the launcher for that. I presume there is a reason, but I don't know it. Perhaps I'll ask ISS Mneur about that. Obviously in Linux it's harder to do text to speech, so this is, unsurprisingly missing in the linux version. Oddly enough, in linux, the Af and AA options are on the launcher while in Windows they are not.

Then there's the broken all around. wxLauncher does not, even though there is a place for it, pull the HLP news feed anymore, probably as a result of the new HLP site design. Perhaps an RSS arrangement might correct this.

Anyway, that's just my little review of the wxLauncher 0.9.4. I see good stuff, conflicting stuff, and broken stuff, with plenty of potential as it matures. I would not say it's better than launcher 5.5g other than it IS cross platform and Windows 8.1 compatible, but I can see it getting there. The old lancher had the advantage of being fairly mature software. wxLauncher is still working its way there, I think.

Re: MediaVPs 2014 Discussion thread
The files are big fat size and I'm loving every byte of it, but not much bigger than the 3.6.12, but probably with improved everything, I'm glad it is still big to have all that improvement into the game, thanks a lot for your work, I'll enjoy it for sure;  downloading them ATM    :v:

BTW, I'm downloading from MjnServ and works OK, 160 KB/s (not Kb, KB).

Quick question.  MVP is up to 3.8.2 can we delete 3.8.0 and 3.8.1 and have no issues?
