The Future of TBP
Flipside:
That's the general idea, same as the VP, I'm not suggesting that be the goal of the update, the whole MediaVP idea was initially formed from a post by Vidmaster in my original thread:
--- Quote ---Still, discussing what will be part of the mentioned mod should benefit a potenially released 3.6.10 upgrade mod. I like to compare it to the mediaVPS mod for FS2.
--- End quote ---
And one by yourself as well:
--- Quote ---Mods are fine. I have even stated a willingness to have a MediaVP style mod that would both contain fixes and new material. It would also be validated for multiplayer. It's something I wanted to put off for the future (Like 3.7) when more ships and the new pilot file code was implemented but if we have to start it sooner then I don't have a problem with it.
--- End quote ---
So the primary job of the mod would be stability, then later people can discuss what to do beyond that.
Anyway, thanks for the update, and I'll wait for details.

Vidmaster got the "mediavp" idea from me. He misunderstood what I had in mind which led to some of the delay in the announcement. It is only like the mediavps in the fact it will be validated content for multi the way the mediavps will be one day. It's not meant as an upgrade or anything. Yes we are discussing adding some new content but as we are already over the ship limit for multi I don't think you'll be seeing any major content for awhile. The whole upgrade concept is one of the things we want to avoid. It's individual or group content verified for compatibility and dumped into one directory that's all. Doesn't mean it's any better then any other content out there it's just validated for multi.
Flipside:
Fair enough, that was the primary goal of this entire ordeal in the first place. Beyond that point, it's actually getting to the point where I don't particularly care to be honest. No offence to either you or Vidmaster, you've both been great, but it's been such hard work just to get this much done that, to be honest, anything the fans do beyond that is between them and whatever kind of TBP authority is in place.
Sorry if that sounds a bit snotty, it isn't intended to be.

I "compared" it to mediaVP from FS2. Not stated that we want a graphical update. The point I wanted to stress is that mediaVP doesn't really kill backwards compatibility (most of the time :lol:).
Still, I agree that this post is open to interpretation on a dangerous level ;)
Flipside:
Well, I suppose it's up to the modders what they create from this point outwards, all I was really concerned with was compatability, but what exactly are you going to do if the public decide they want to add high poly models as an external mod like the VPs? It's exactly the same as the MediaVP project, to be honest, there is nothing whatsoever that could be done to stop them.
Either way I'm beyond caring now.
Edit: To be blunt, saying 'We want something like the MediaVP, but lacking the one thing that makes it the mediaVP' is pointless.
