Just getting started here. Is there a difference between FreeSpace Open and FreeSpace Port?
I installed fs2_open_3_6_12r_INF.exe and MediaVPs_3612, and everything seems to be working, but what about the stuff on the FreeSpace Port site, like sparky_hi_fs1 and fsport-hi_res, etc? Can I install these too? Where do they go? I bit overwhelmed by all the information sources.

Follow the FSPort install directions here (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=76733.0)
And,
:welcome:

Thanks, that helped a lot. I think I have everything working, and it's awesome! I have a couple of other questions.
The flight hanger deck seems like the original low-res one. Has this been upgraded too? If so, how do I get that?
On the page you linked to, it says the Media VPs are at version 3.6.13, but everywhere else it says 3.6.12, including FSO. Do I use the .13 VPs with the .12 FSO?
Thanks for your help!

Improved mainhalls are in progress, see this thread (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=81657.0). Although we're still stuck at 1024x768 resolutions sue to code limitations, we did get rid of retail's 256-colour limit, so you should find these mainhalls a huge improvement already.

Odd-numbered releases are internal, alpha and beta releases; the true stable public releases are even-numbered. The 3.6.12 MediaVPs are the latest released version; 3.6.13 refers to the work in progress of the next MVP release. Some individual assets (mainly models) from these have been released, but the actual 3.6.13 pack is not publicly available.

I think he was referring to the FSPort MediaVPs, which is at 3.6.13 right now. It should work with FSO 3.6.12.

Great, thanks!
