Lightspeed Nebula Question
The ShivanSPS pack includes NaRR10_Nebulae.vp in C:\Games\FreeSpace2\mediavps\data.

I've removed it and can't see a difference. Is there a particular mission I can use to make an A/B comparison and see if it's working? Or has the Lightspeed Nebulae pack been aborbed into another vp file, making it superfluous?

Are you using -mod mediavps in your command line?

Re: Lightspeed Nebula Question
Are you playing missions that use the new nebulas?  They don't integrate directly into the stock FS2 campaign, you need to download the new VP in which they've been integrated, found here:  http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,42817.0.html

Re: Lightspeed Nebula Question
Thanks, but I'm more confused than ever. I finally found some "bad" looking nebulas, they're only in some custom mods like Homesick. All the regular FS2 missions using mediavps look fine, just like the screenshots.

So do I need LightspeedFS2.vp when I have NaRR10_Nebulae.vp ? The ShivanSPS install is very good so I wonder why he left it out. If so, what is the proper folder to place it in?

Thanks much!

I'm betting thats the answer. I don't know what ShivanSPS install looks like, but do you have other .vp files in the FS folderthat might have them? And did he even include the original :v: nebulas?

And why would you want to remove Lightspeeds nebulas? :wtf:

Re: Lightspeed Nebula Question
The "NaRR10_Nebulae.vp" are the Lighspeed Nebulas, and the file works just fine where their are, the LightspeedFS2.vp is the same thing which other name, just let the file where their are and download something that uses the Lighspeed nebulas, mmmm If I remember well, Derelic uses it, you already have Derelict in my pack, so try which him :P, The FS2 camping just uses the normal nebulas, so you will not notice any diference, but here there is a moddified FS2 camping to use the Lightspeed nebulas, take a look at it.

 
Re: Lightspeed Nebula Question
Fianally, thanks ShivanSPS.

Prophet, the Shivan install is the best available, it's the only one that works completely.

So I have heard... Was that just a random statement aimed at me, or did you have some clever point I fail to understand... :nervous:

Hope that makes sense, it was nothing meant to offend, belittle or insult I positively assure you, I'm just trying to figure this stuff out, nothing more.

Peace,

Re: Lightspeed Nebula Question
Oh right... I know what it is. What I was wondering how the files were arranged. In data or root FS or somewhere else... But nevermind now since your problems was solved.

And why did you think I was offended? And what? I wasn't. What are you trying to do here. You after me? This is funny to you? I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE!

Never mind. :p
