Right, I've "jury-rigged" a method between my web-n-walk sony, and my PC, so effectively i've got free internet for 5 days. So i'm gonna double check this fact.
If i'm running prior Media.VPS, i just need the quoted patches to let 3.6.9+ run smooth?

Requires a recent build of FS2_Open
Additionally, 3.6.9 release candidates and 3.6.9 final requires additional files, for the appropriate mediaVPs:
http://fs2source.warpcore.org/mediavp/mp-710_adveffects.rar
http://fs2source.warpcore.org/mediavp/mp-710_effects.rar
http://fs2source.warpcore.org/mediavp/mp-710_models.rar

Or am i better DL'ing the soopah pack ?

If you are running the 3.6.8 Zeta's, then all you need are the mp-710_* .rar files.

No idea what the zpack is.

[Colonol Dekker]

Got the three smaller files, not tried em yet due to updating / obtaining software all last night. Zpack link is quoted above.
Interesting point my normally 300k connection (through phone browser) runs at 10% which isn't really that great either. But it's fine for a quick temporary fix i guess.

....wait.

Why is this still sticked when there are 3.6.9 and 3.6.10 MVPs now?

[blowfish]

There are no 3.6.9 mediavps.  There are only the 3.6.8 zetas and the 3.6.10 betas

[haloboy100]

Ah.

[colecampbell666]

And being betas, they aren't going to sticky an unfinished product.

[blowfish]

The 3.6.10 Beta thread is stickied.

[colecampbell666]

Oops.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

I'm downloading the MediaVPs (AGAIN) for my Mac.

Does anyone have any useful pointers for running the SCP on OS X?

[blowfish]

Not really worth bumping a month-old thread, but...

XT builds will frequently not work correctly.  Trunk builds frequently do work correctly.  Use Soulstorm's launcher, blah blah blah.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

What are XT builds, and where is Soulstorm's launcher?

[blowfish]

Never mind the XT builds if you are using the 3.6.8 VPs.  They are taylor's experimental builds which support normal maps etc (only available in the 3.6.10 betas).  Look around in Cross-Platform development for Soulstorm's launcher.

[CaptJosh]

Is there a recent stable build with the widescreen fix in it?

[blowfish]

Look for a trunk build.  They are supposed to be stable and all of the new ones will have the widescreen fix.

[Nerhesi]

So I've got 3.6.10.. does that already include the super duper maximum graphics of 3.6.8 zeta or not?

Yes and more, however there may be a few bugs as these are betas!

[Rick James]

There be bugs in 3.6.10, all right. Missing cannon charge animations and missing textures on the Orion among them--for me, anyway. I'm sticking with 3.6.8 Zeta until the beta becomes a stable release.

[colecampbell666]

Missig textures on the Orion? Not a chance, where are they?

[Rick James]

Give me a chance to re-download the 3.6.10 betas. I just re-downloaded stuff using the FSO installer. I'll post a screenie when I can. Also, keep in mind that this could just be me--I don't think anyone else has reported anything along those lines.
