It doesn't even start with mediavps 3.6.12 and fs2 open 3.7.0.
With the compatibility package, mediavps 2014 and fs2 open 3.7.2 (RC2 and RC3) it gets through startup but crashes while loading the first mission.
Age of Aquarius functions without trouble (even though the save file is strangely immense compared to the save files of other campaigns).
this is what the crash puts in my clipboard:

Why are your BP mod folders 600_BluePlanet_AgeOfAquarius and 601_BluePlanet_WarInHeaven? These aren't standard; if you haven't edited the mod.ini files to reflect the change then that'll be what's gone wrong. Otherwise, you're going to have to explain more about your setup to us, because it looks pretty nonstandard.
-
You're trying to play War in Heaven when Age of Aquarius has priority in the mod order (it looks like you introduced this error when you renamed the folder and then presumably edited your mod.ini files to refer to the new folders, because I don't know any version of Blue Planet that came in folders named like this).
FWIW, your BP2 .vp file checksums match mine, but your BP1 .vp files do not; I highly recommend reinstalling BP with the BPComplete Installer (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=70745.0), deleting the 3_6_17 build that comes with it (it has a known pilot-corruption bug), adding the compatibility packs back in, and running with 3.7.2 RC3.

I did edit the mod.ini (which might matter) and the dir-names (which shouldn't matter afaik, I renamed all my mod dirnames in a similar way).
My mod.ini looks like this:
# PLEASE NOTE ALL INI SETTINGS ARE *OPTIONAL*
# modname: Display name only, so you can have spaces instead of underscores for multi word MOD's
# image255x112: Location of a 255x112 bmp you wish to display in the launcher
# infotext: Text that will appear in the launcher
# website: Link to your website
# forum: Link to your forum
[launcher]
modname = 601 Blue Planet: War in Heaven;
image255x112 = bplogo.bmp;
infotext = Eighteen months after Age of Aquarius, the UEF/GTVA war enters its final phase.;
website = http://blueplanet.hard-light.net;

[multimod]
primarylist = 600_BluePlanet_AgeOfAquarius;
secondarylist = MediaVPs_2014;
I don't understand how the problem could be with Age of Aquarius? That one works fine with the compatibility pack, mediavps 2014 and 3.7.2 RC3. I'll try to find out if there is a more recent version of those vps somewhere, versions that match yours.
-
AoA should be in secondarylist, before the MVPs.
-
I solved it, I shouldn't have put Age of Aquarius as a primary on the multimod list. I'll have to read up on what primary and secondary actually means in fs2 open.
Thank you Phantom Hoover for pointing me in the right direction. :yes:

Your BP1 .vp file checksums still don't match mine, so you may encounter other problems later.
