Title: Is there a way to play mods with MediaVPs newer than 2014?
Post by: Korwin on October 10, 2018, 08:39:46 pm

Most if not all mods require MVPs 2014, and that's what they will load with in wxlauncher. But presumably MVPs 3.8 are nicer - is there a way to run the mods with these assets?

You can try changing the mod.ini from "MediaVPs_2014" to "MediaVPs_38X". 


However, that's not a guarantee it will work (unless the campaign staff has specifically modified the campaign for 3.8 MVPs).

You probably have to decide what you want - there's a number new things in the 3-8-X MVPs, but the the ships and effects you see most are identical, so for the most part it's quite similar. Also, some mods have double HUD issues. But of course you can try out everything yourself what works and what doesn't. :)
