Sticking these here just in case someone finds them useful.
They also give the directory structure that should be followed.

I've put some on the Wiki for the VPs before but it turns out there's a few different possible sets of VPs that work.  I have all the different ones in a text file somewhere, gotta dig it out...

Ok found them.  The retail VPs from James' install have the following checksums:

Ok this has been updated a bit now.  Seems my old install was from ShivanSPS' old SCP Pack files.  It's the only one with a different sparky_fs2.vp.  The Sim of the Year edition appears to be already patched to 1.2.  If anyone is still using the retail data from Shivan's installer, they will apparently have a different sparky_fs2.vp than anyone else.  I'd like to know if this is because it's from an international version, or if it's just always been a corrupted file somehow and no one noticed.

[Zacam]

In comparing all of those together an with my install, the only one of those that has a different hash are as follows:

Hades Combine Unpatched Root.vp, which matches retail 3-disc Unpatched Root.vp.

Your ShivanSPS Sparky_fs2.vp, which matches nothing.

All other information there for the remaining files are identical.

[chief1983]

Unfortunately this list is still not comprehensive.  I do not have the HOTU version, and it seems to have been pulled, so if someone still has a HOTU based install laying around, I'd love to know the MD5 sums from those vps.  Same for any possible international versions, the original retail CDs (but I'm betting that's what the Hades Combine version was made from), etc.

[karajorma]

HotU simply used the same VPs from the standard 3 CD version.

[Aardwolf]

I noticed something that looked like the CD ISO's in a link found via the forums... Which would be ... bad?

Trying to phrase it in a way that isn't telling people to go get it, for legal reasons

There, should help obscure it a bit more -Chief

[Mongoose]

I PM'd the link maintainer about possibly removing those a long while back, but I never received a response.  I didn't really want to edit out the link to the whole file archive, as there's a lot of useful stuff in there.

Edit: No, I wasn't expecting the Forum Inquisition.
