Title: Guidance for a graphics whore.
Post by: FNSaver on May 16, 2012, 11:09:43 am
Top of the morning to everyone,
I *really* love everything about space, ranging from astrophysics to Freespace 2. I wanted to give it another hit, but considering the game is bloody old now I figured, taking the amount of the people in FS2 community into consideration, there must be *other* graphics whores, which in turn, means there must be mods that gives this game a facelift. So I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of rather well made graphical mods.
Cheers.

MediaVPs by the FreeSpace Upgrade project is the community sanctioned upgrade to Freespace 2

That's (nearly) all you'll need. Make sure you're running 3.6.14 RC6 from the FreeSpace Source Code Project subforum to get a bit of extra eyecandy like distortion shockwaves.

Wow, getting all that stuff together was really easy and swift, unlike a game called Morrowind. Thanks a lot.

the community has had a few more years than Morrowind to get its act together ;)

The MediaVPs are an example of the process done very well - download, extract, select in launcher, you're good to go. Unfortunately they're not the only part of FSO.
