I know the original campaign works with it as well as the Blue Planet parts, but are there any other mods that utilize the updated graphics?

Media Vps should work with and have an effect on most mods that use Retail resources, some of them haven't had their mod.ini files updated to use it but that is a simple enough process using notepad or something similar. I believe also Wings of Dawn take advantage for things like nebular effects.

Most mods coming out are designed with the mvps in mind, and most mods in general can be made to work with them using a number of small tweaks.

Hmm...I tried the Warzone mod, but it didn't load with the new graphics and I have no idea what I'm supposed to change in the config files.

Bottom line (no pun intended) is that you'll need to make sure that the word on the right side of "secondarylist = " matches the name of your MediaVPs folder. Older campaigns have it set to "mediavps", but since you probably have the 3.6.12 MediaVPs, you'll need to edit it to say "mediavps_3612" instead. That is, the last line in the mod.ini should say
secondarylist = mediavps_3612;
Editing can be done with any text editor, such as the regularass Notepad or the manlier Notepad++. Also, no one guarantees that old mods work flawlessly with the 3.6.12 MediaVPs, but you can always try and see for yourself. Nothing can be permanently broken by editing a mod.ini.
