Hey guys, quick question.
So I'm running FRED, working on missions in version 3.8.2 (using Knossos). When I launch the game through my mod or using MediaVP's 3.8.2 I get several error windows. I found that mvmiller12 had this post https://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=94987.msg1873153#msg1873153 which appears to be the same as I'm having.
If I download a newer nightly version as indicated in the post, would it also update the missions I'm working on/my mod file? Just need a bit of clarification before I accidentally mess something up. The error windows seem to be only a minor problem, as debugging all five of them starts the game up fine, but I also want to make sure everything's as clean as possible, especially if I plan to release something.

Opening and editing an old mission in a newer version of FRED is, generally, a safe thing to do. The only exception is when you start using new features (like new Sexps); if you do, you'll have to make sure that you specify a minimum version of the engine as a requirement when you release your work via knossos.

While this is true, I can't help but point out that using the 3.8.2 MediaVPs means a minimum engine version is already specified.

I see. Thanks for clearing that up. :yes:
