Title: help wiht FS2 Open launcher
Post by: FearaFox on February 28, 2006, 05:05:00 pm

hi, i'm new to both these forums and FS2 in general, so bear with me :P


i trying to use mediaVPs, enabled in the 5.3 launcher, but when i select the folder as a mod, i get a message saying "mod directory name cannot contain" <- exactly.

i dont know what im doing wrong, but i'm using all lowercase letter, with no spaces or symbols.

how would i go about selecting this folder as a mod?

thx for any help

Ffox

-sry for quick post, i was in a rush out the door :P

What's the full path for your Freespace2 folder? It's not just the mod dir that can cause this problem. If you have a path like this

C:\Program Files\FS-2\

You'd get it for both the space and the hyphen. Just move the folder somewhere with no spaces or hyphens (or any other special characters) and see what happens.

i would have done a search, but it seems to be malfunctioning or disabled.

thanks again!
