Title: Do .VP files turn on by themselves?
Post by: ping5000 on August 17, 2005, 12:33:00 am

I'm just wondering because I'm going to use the mv_adveffects. I know I have to extract them to the FreeSpace2 root folder then use FSOpen. But do the .vp files work by themselves when I use FSOpen? Or do I need to enable them somehow?

Thanks in advance.

Just having 'em in the root folder is all you need.

And uninstalling them is just a matter of removing from the root folder right?

that would be correct. (Or you could do what i do and just change the extension to something else like a .zip, even though they dont work with WinZip.. :D)

this applies to any files you have in the root folder by the way, so if you've got a mod or something you want to uninstall, just take the .tbl files for it out of the root directory.

it makes modding easier :nod:
