Oh, would it be possible to make the Launcher checks for the folders indicated in primarylist and secondarylist ?

I mean, if I indicate "MediaV" in primarylist, and that folder doesn't exist (real name is "MediaVP" for example), the Launcher would complain, indicating "Folder MediaV doesn't exist, make sure you provided the right name" or something like that.

Nope. It's actually a launcher bug not FS2_Open. If you add  -mod MOD_Derelict, ,MOD_LS_Nebulae as a custom flag in the launcher it won't work.

The launcher is displaying things incorrectly but it's sending the correct thing to FS2_Open itself. Mantis it as a launcher bug but if it is fixed it will need to be done in a way that doesn't break the current mod.ini files.

That's not a bad idea. It could solve a fair bit of head scratching :)

I've seen in Mantis that some bugs are fixed within Launcher. Would it be possible to update the modified 5.3xx version anywhere?

I would put a link in Redmenace's "CVS Builds" thread.

Thank you, guys.
IF YOU HAVE TROUBLES WITH FS2:
  • Please, please, please, READ and UNDERSTAND the sticky threads in FreeSpace & FreeSpace Open Support board.
    A lot of people are willing to help you, but, as anyone can understand, seeing the very same "issues" repeated again and again can become quite depressing. Please, spend a bit of time trying to solve the issue by yourself.
    (Lobo deserves a monument).
  • Then, if you aren't still able to solve your issue, feel free to ask for help in that same board.
    FYI, most of the troubles are caused by wrong mod installations which lead to either missing data or undesired cross-effects between them. Always follow the mod installation instructions and keep a clean FS2 installation as explained in the sticky threads. Two additional links about how the game handles game data:
  • If you think that you've discovered a bug, mantis it.
    Provide as much info as you can, and try to narrow it down. A lonely "FS2 doesn't work" is not a good report.
