Title: Problem with the mediavps-folder!!
Post by: Knarfe1000 on September 25, 2006, 06:42:13 pm
As suggested I created a "mediavps"-folder in the FS 2 main installation-folder. Then I put each mv_ files in there. But when I start FSO I get many many errors, as if it searchs for files and doesn´t find them. When I put the mv_ files back into the FS 2 main-folder, everything goes well... What am I doing wrong  :confused:

Which build of FSOpen are you using?

and

What media Vp's are you referring to? There are several "extras" with later builds.

have you run the launcher and selected the mediavps folder on the MOD tab?

update FSO to 3.6.9 RC7 (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,41891.0.html). you'll also need to get the 3.6.8 zeta mediavps (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,39905.0.html) and the 710 patches (linked to in the topic above). I'd also recomend getting launcher pre-5.4 (http://icculus.org/~taylor/fso/testing/Launcher.rar).

use the MOD tab and select the folder that you put the mediavps in.

One more Question... When I select "mediavps" in the mod-tab, what have I to to, when I want to play a "real" Mod. I cannot select two mods at one time or did I get you wrong?

You can select two mods using a mod.ini file.

Karajorma's FAQ (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/karajorma/FAQ/installingmods.html#multimod) tells you how.
