Where have they gone to? I briefly saw them awhile ago, then they just stopped working. The only time I see them anymore is when I play Shrouding the Light.


I've been meaning to post this for a while. I'm running 3.6.5 mediaVP's & exe.

They're not gone. They were removed from the MV pack, because some people didn't like them.

You can add them by editing your tables. Do a Wiki search. It should be in there, somewhere.

I'm also kinda interested in afterburner trails...but neither 'afterburner', 'trails' or 'afterburner trails' will give any results in the Wiki.

Hmm, true...

Well, here it is:

I think the bold stuff is what you're looking for.

IIRC, they got removed by accident when I removed adveffects from the current line-up of mediaVPs. I'm going to try and add them back in next version, as there've been a number of people asking about them and the images for 'em are probably still in there anyways.

(The old ones look a bit dated. )

So I have to go through and tell all the fighter/bomber ship entries in the table to use them?

[DaBrain]

Yes, I fear it does...

Well, it takes up a few minutes, but you can also wait for the next media VP.

[FireCrack]

this should be doable in the species (i think) table.
