Title: I forgot how to install my own MOD
Post by: Max Sterling on August 07, 2017, 03:23:04 pm
Haha... so I ran the install and there's a Robotech.vp file that goes into the folder... but not all the mod is showing up, just the music it looks like. I don't remember how any of this works. :)

You don't actually have to spend time answering me as it's a silly thing, but if you do... hey cool :)

I want to show the MOD to some game dev people I met that like Robotech.

Oh here's the link if you want to try it: http://www.robotechlan.com/freespace2/downloads1.html

The main selection screen should look like the SDF1 and yeah it's obvious when it's installed.

Your mod only included 640x480 interface art.  If you start the game in 1024x768, you won't see any special interface changes. :)

Also, if you run your mod in FSO, there are a bunch of debug errors.  You should consider fixing those.

Thanks for your reply.

I have never used FSO -- it was before my time. I just wanted to see if my MOD would run again. THANKS for the tip about the resolution -- hopefully that will fix part of it. I still didn't see my ships and missions but this was, after all, 16 years ago. I just wanted to maybe take some screenshots for memories sake.

You're welcome. :yes:

You might be able to get some help fixing the mod if you ask on the forums or on IRC or Discord.

Ah, if I only had time to fix it. :)
