Title: How to add files to a vp file?
Post by: DarthWang on July 29, 2008, 10:01:18 pm

I downloaded ITDOH 3 but it won't run because the vp file is missing the scimitar assault bomber model, so I used VPView to open the ITDOH 2 vp file and extracted the model, but I don't know how to add it to the ITDOH 3 vp file

VPView looks at and extracts files from vps, but lacks the capability to alter them.

To add files you'd need Maja (http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Maja) or VPMage (http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/VPMage).

I downloaded VPMage but I can't figure out how to add the file. Is there a tutorial or instructions somewhere?

Thanks, I added the scimitar.pof to the vp file but I still keep getting the error:
