Title: Star Field
Post by: m2258734a on February 24, 2006, 09:50:15 pm

I took this screenshot initially to show that the GVG Anuket's engine is still not functioning properly without checking to see if the fix had been available for download. But I found myself concerned with the number of stars... is this the correct starfield? I am certain that the starfield in the FSPort vps has more stars than what I am seeing with the 3.6.8 media vps...

Thanks.

The starfield background isn't being used there. It has to be specified in the mission file. I'm not sure if the media VPs come with modified missions with the background added in.

They should, in mv_models or mv_effects IIRC. The only reason I can think that they wouldn't work is if A) the mission files were extracted to data/missions (without the starfield) or B) some mod or campaign put the retail files in a VP in a higher precedence than the mediaVPs.

It looks like in that pic the mediaVPs are working.

Things are working now, I forgot that when I first downloaded FS2 from this forum, there were mission files that came with the installation. In fact, there were other files in other folders that I didn't even need. Thanks for the help.
