Hmm. Make sure you're using a recent version of the Port.

Yeah, sounds like your Port may not be quite up to date.

Each and every mod must tbe in its own subfolder. FSPort mods are not an exception.
It is highly necessary to remove the old FSPort (cutscenes excluded) before installing the new one.
Your MV_Complete migght be broken.

Argh! i haven't touched these folders since i had them installed.. :( and i recently replaced MV_complete. I'm really confused now. Anything i can provide screen shots of that might help?

Basically:
- move Awakenings to \freespace2\awakenings\
- move EODRedux to \freespace2\eod\
- redownload MV_Complete or the separate MediaVPs (MV_Complete should contain 5253 files but yours contains 4988 files, according to the log)
- if you downloaded all the FSPort 3.1.1 files, remove fsport3_0_4.vp. If you didn't download all the newest files, remove all of your FSPort files, except fsport\fsport3_1_1.vp and the cutscene pack, then download the newest files from the FSPort 3.1.1. release thread.

The only issue is, you told me this before and i downloaded it and then i replaced it. i dunno why? Also i dont even seem to have an EOD folder o.O It goes right into the trash bin.

It is possible that it is intact and the log shows weird numbers because FSPort files are read first. Try without redownloading MV_Complete. If things work, forget about the whole thing.

Also i dont even seem to have an EOD folder o.O It goes right into the trash bin.
If you want to keep EOD, keep it. If not, delete it. The point is that EOD is a mod and FSPort is a mod: therefore, the two cannot be in the same folder. One  mod per folder.

You haven't removed all the old FSPort files. Remove
- fsport-fs1_training
- fsport-glow
- fsport-hi_res (this can actually be used with FSPort 3.1.1, but what it does is also done by the FSPort MediaVPs)
- fsport-shine.

Well, with those files, it really should work with a recent enough (non-debug) build, which RC3 most certainly is.
