Using FSO 3.6.9 and the 3.6.8Z VPs+patches and here's something that troubles me a bit

* Case 1: media VPs stored in "vp_368" folder under FS2 install dir, thus running the game with "-mod vp_368" option
=> All enhancements appear to work ok, but when I attempt to play on fs2netd, the game hangs to the "connecting to fs2netd" screen (until the connection attempt times out).

* Case 2: media VPs stored in the FS2 install dir
=> fs2netd connect works ok now. Also the gfx enhancements seem to be there, except for one thing: the new starfield is now gone from the main campaign.

Any ideas

Look in /Data

Bet you have a fs2open_pxo.cfg file in there.

If I'm right what's happening is that this file is overriding the (now incorrect) one in the media VPs when you run without a mediavps folder. The solution is to copy the file to mediavps/data (or whatever you want to call it) and all should be well.

BTW I recommend using the standard name of mediavps (unless someone knows of a linux specific reason why you shouldn't) cause although mod.ini files are windows only their successor won't be and it makes sense to standardise now.

Ok, that solved the connection problem, thanks Kara
