if it's a .vp, just drop it in the main freespace directory.

If you're using my package of them (http://fs2source.warpcore.org/mediavp/ls_neb.exe), you just extract it into your main FS2 dir (or the MediaVPs dir, if you're using mod.ini)

Yeah I am trying to find out how to use the ones that came in Transcend...  I see one table with both files and a bunch of pcx and other files.. I know where to put the tables but where is the other stuff  :hopping:.

You should have the table file in a folder called something like Freespace2\Transcend\Data\Tables.

Just put the nebulae pcx files in Freespace2\Transcend\Data\effects

Hey WMCoolmon, that's a great package of them.  Makes it much easier for newbies... the RAR on Milliways is not so straigtforward.  I mean, I know where to put stuff, but for other people there's far less margin of error if it's just one VP.  I hope you'll make that pack more widely available, say on the SCP.indiegames.us website?

However, note that it's missing nebulas G and H.  To save you time, here is a repack:  http://www.qeyleb.net/files/ls_neb.rar (save as).

Did you include the tables for G and H in that? Cause there is a VP floating around with the nebs and no corresponding table.

Yep, has the updated table.

I tried to be all clever and modify it and use a tbm, but stars.tbl being non-XMT I couldn't figure out a good way to do that.  So it's still with the original.

Yeah I saw that pack.  In a lot of cases it was no problem since most of the campaigns that used these nebulas had their own stars.tbl , but this one is still nice to have because it includes everything!

I've now RARed it and updated the previous link.  I considered putting it in a self-extracting exe, but some of the cross-platform people were complaining about not being able to open those.
