Title: Freespace 2 - Mac - "Media.VP" Files
Post by: nylock10 on April 05, 2007, 10:34:11 am

Hey,

I downloaded Freespace 2 for Mac from here: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/28874

Then I downloaded FS2_Open 3.6.9 from here: http://fs2source.warpcore.org/exes/osx/FS2_Open-3.6.9.dmg

Once I get them installed, how do I install the Media.VPs so I can get all those special effects (see link below)?

I've been following the following link to try and install Freespace 2 (and the special effects), but its a bit complicated.

Hope do get this all straightened out, thanks!
