Hopefully this is something I've missed in trying to find the answer...

Using FRED2 Open (3.6.9 and 3.6.10-20071007T), how does one get FS1 ships to show up in the object drop down list, ie so a ship from FS1 can be added. Specifically I want to make a mission that uses GTF Apollo. I have the Apollo_HTL.vp but I can not figure out how to get FRED to see it. I've tried merging it into mediavps, the .vp with the other ships, but alas FRED still doesn't see it.

So the question is, where does the Apollo ship stuff need to be put, and what other stuff needs modifying to get FRED to use it?

Any help would be appreciated.

Do you have the .vp in a mod folder? If not, put it in the folder and run FRED with the command line "-mod <whatever>".

Thanks.

Nope doesn't work. My shortcuts commandline is as follows: C:\Games\FreeSpace2\fred2_open_3_6_9.exe -fredhtl -jpgtga -mod c:\games\freespace2\fred2\Apollo_HTL.vp

Looking in the Apollo_HTL.vp I do note that the contents are the model and the textures. Does FRED2 also require a Ships.tbl entry somewhere? If it does, any idea what the entry for the Apollo should be?

Sorted...

Had a look at the 'Noob Question' thread while waiting for someone to answer my question, and there was the answer in the very 1st post of that thread 

So the answer is: inserting -mod fsport, mediavps into the FRED shortcut.

I don't think there's a space in the command line's parameters. so it would be -mod fsport,mediavps.

There is a space between "-mod" and the mod name. However, the C:\Games\Freespace2... is not required, simply use whatever folder name the Apollo.vp is in. FRED takes care of the rest...
