Title: FS2 briefing music?
Post by: donkey_roxor on March 28, 2006, 08:30:57 pm: Hi all,

Is there some way I can get my hands on the in-game briefing music, either by downloading or somehow exporting? I already downloaded Ancients, Numbers, Revelations, etc, but couldn't find the other briefing music. Thanks.

Just a note - the download link above is to the Descent Manager with all the relevant DLL files, not the actual VPview program, which can be found here: http://download.descent-network.com/descman/modules/vpview.w32/vpview13.exe

Can somebody help me?

Really? Never noticed that... Then again, extract the all data and you don't have to touch the .vp ever again :D

Thanks, I can use this without any problems so far.

Are you using VPView or VPView2.0 cause the former gives me no trouble whatsoever with the TBP VP.

Post by: Trivial Psychic on March 31, 2006, 12:34:08 am: I tried using VPview 2.0. I've never tried V1.3 (or any previous version) for anything. I think the TBP Base VP issues are because of what program is used to create them. I use vpcs2 to create the patch VP file and have no probs viewing it with 2.0.

Post by: karajorma on March 31, 2006, 03:07:17 am: It is worth remembering that VPView 2.0 is a beta version. :)
