Um not sure if this is the right section to post in but whats the worst that can happen?

Anywho, I was playing freespace just now and i just decided to play around with my mods and look at the differences...and i found a huge one

Apparently my Mediavps 3.6.10 looks much more awwesome than 3.6.12....

How? How can this be?

To elaborate, the regular mediavps gives me hi-rez textures (I can see the grain and dirt and material on the Herc Mk II) and the mediavps_3612 gives me well blurry looking crap basically (the herc mk II's plating now looks like ceramic and other details are blurred as well)

What's the problem here? Would appreciate the help

You forgot to select the 3.6.12 MVPs in the launcher?

The problem is that you didn't give us a debug log so that we could help you. Hence we can only have wild guesses. So why don't you start with that.

Well just from a first glance, you've got your mod load order a bit wonky - when you load your "old" mvps, the 3.6.10s, you're also chainloading your 3.6.12 mvps, so anything that you don't have in the 3.6.12s will just dissappear.

Second obvious issue is that you have the 3.6.10 mv_advanced but not the 3.6.12 mv_advanced, (based on directory tree location, I don't know the checksums offhand) so you don't have any of the advanced textures from the 3.6.12 mvps. You also don't have the 3.6.12 animglows, but I'm not familiar enough with nvidia's laptop cards to tell if that's likely to be by choice, or if they'd even be an option for you.

Third obvious issue is that you invoked the law of dramatic irony in your first post of this thread, and before long either your computer will spontaneously combust or some similar example of 'the worst that can happen' will transpire.

[xXTylonXx]

Well to start, i like dramatic irony, gives the thread some flavor and it made you want to read on out of curiosity of "Well, DID he post it in the wrong thread, lets find out."

And so am i correct in assuming that, in your proffessional opinion, I should simply grab the 3612 advanced? And yes the animglows was by personal choice as i have a, ehem pardon my french, a steaming pile of **** graphics card I play on Medium for christ's sake

[LordMelvin]

In my NON-professional opinion (Fair warning: you get free advice on the interwebs, you get what you pay for) the 3.6.10 advanced will look better than the 3.6.12 non-advanced, while the 3.6.12 advanced will look better than either. As to the ability of your lappy to handle it... Give it a shot, if it passes the smoke* test, you're prob'ly fine.

Also, without the animglows vp, there's much less point to using the the -glow launcher flag.

*Smoke test: The procedure of turning a new item on and watching for smoke - if no smoke is detected, the test has been passed.

[xXTylonXx]

Ahh thank you very much sir, problem solved, and i shall at once remove -glow from my flags

[Yarn]

Also, without the animglows vp, there's much less point to using the the -glow launcher flag.

Wrong. MV_AnimGlows.vp contains animated glow maps (usually found on Shivan craft). Without it, the game uses stationary glow maps, which still require the -glow flag (or "Enable glow maps" in the launcher) to be displayed. So there is still quite a point to use that flag. (And yes, you do need that flag for the upgraded models to display properly.)
