The differences aren't that large. Lack of a working launcher is probably the biggest one but seeing as all the launcher does is configure the command line that's not really a huge problem. In fact I should be able to figure out what's gone wrong even though I don't personally use linux.

The biggest problem is that I don't have the campaign you've chosen to install is one I don't have. So if you don't have the right version or something I wouldn't know.

What you should have is something like this

Freespace 2 Folder
-FS2_Open 3.6.9 RC 7 or above. (I can't help you much there but I suspect you've compiled from the less stable HEAD branch. This should help you compile the right one)
-The standard FS2 .VP files (these all end in _fs2.vp)

-mediavps folder
--the mediavps (start with mv_ and end with .vp)
--the 710 patches (all of which are found here)

-modfolder
--All VP files that came with the mod

--Data folder
---Anything that the mod tells you to stick in Data goes in here or a subfolder rather than Freespace2/data


Now change your -mod option to read -mod modfolder,mediavps and everything should work. If it doesn't double check your folder names and if that still doesn't work try it with another mod as you may have picked an incomplete one that doesn't have a campaign file. While you're at it check in the flight simulator to see if you can find any missions from this campaign as that will confirm the lack or presence of a campaign file.

Just Another Day: Special Edition 2.

First campaign I found which is in a VP, doesn't require anthing else and will work perfectly with the mediavps. Perfect for testing :D


I suppose I should warn you that it's not an entirely serious campaign though :D

It's Axem's campaign but yeah. It's great :)

There's a sequel too :)

I like the sequel better!  :lol:

Favorite part of that entire campaign:

YMCA!  :D

I looked at the events for it and I still have no idea how he coded that... :doubt:
But then, my education on coding things is pretty spotty.

I've not looked at his code but I suspect it's one of the better uses of the cutscene SEXPs we've seen yet.

Indeed it is, set camera pos, and from what i see, over strenuous timing of the said positional switches :)
