the instructions say
"in order to leverage changes in the shader code since 3.6.12, these are to be used to over-ride the MediaVPs shaders (place in mediavps_3612/data/effects)"

the zip contains the  folder  Shaders-3.6.14_Jan-23
so I end up with f:\games\freespace2\mediavps_3612\data\effects\Shaders-3.6.14_Jan-23
yes ?

[MatthTheGeek]

Nope. The shader files inside that folder should be directly in /effects/.

[Davros]

I figured that out, but its not what the instructions say.

[MatthTheGeek]

It says you're supposed to put the shaders files in mediavps_3612/data/effects. It doesn't say you have to put the zip or any kind of folder in mediavps_3612/data/effects.

[Davros]

It says place in mediavps_3612/data/effects (why would it say that when the tables folder goes in mediavps_3612/data/  and not mediavps_3612/data/effects)

when you are given a zip file and told to place it in effects I would assume that means place the contents of the zip file in effects or unzip the contents to effects
not open the zip file and place the contents of 1 sub-folder of the main folder into effects and the sub-folder other folder in data

the zip contains the  folder  Shaders-3.6.14_Jan-23

The .zip file does not contain that folder. It only has the data folder and the effects and tables subfolders within that. (Details below)

The program that you used to open the .zip file (Windows or 7-Zip or whatever) created the Shaders-3.6.14_Jan-23 folder and put the contents of the .zip file in it.

Ahh, that explains it somewhat, but still the tables folder should not be placed in effects it should go in data and the instructions dont say that
