Title: [Solved] FSO with MediaVPs in OS X
Post by: thomasbandy on January 10, 2014, 06:40:32 am

I'm running wxlauncher in OS X Mavericks with the GOG version (which I installed in Bootcamp and copied over to OS X), and have the whole .torrent worth of MediaVPs in /Freespace2/MediaVPs_2014. When I unselect them in the MODs tab in wxlauncher, the game runs fine (although, as in many OS X games, I'm having trouble calibrating the joystick), but when I select the MediaVPs, it freezes on the splash screen with this error:

Error: mv_effects-sdf.tbm(line 16):
Error: Required token = [#END] or [$Species_Name:], found [$Countermeasure Type:   Type One] .

File: /Users/cliff.gordon/fs2_open_3_7_0/projects/Xcode/../../code/parse/parselo.cpp
Line 336

I've attached the fs2_open.log file, too. Is it a matter of messing with checkboxes/settings, or is there some hardware problem? Thanks for your help!

You need to grab a recent nightly, like this one:http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=86500.0 (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=86500.0). 

The 2014 mediavps will not work with the stable 3.7.0 release.

Thanks! Don't know why I didn't see something this obvious from the beginning -

No worries.
