How many times do I have to tell you i'm using the mediavps

[Jeff Vader]

How many times do the rest of us have to tell you that it is wise to dedicate an entire folder for your mod stuff. You can use the \mediavps\ as an extra mod, but any "modded" content should preferrably be in its own folder.

threw it in the data/tables folder

A lot more, because you are careless about how you describe things. data/tables is not the same as mediavps\data\tables.

Please describe how exactly have you set the things up at the moment. Despite our superhuman abilities, it's hard to see into your computer, so figuring out what goes wrong and where is not very easy and guessing through darkness is a lot more time-consuming than you telling accurately what you're doing and we can tell what you're doing wrong. Also, attention to detail in troubleshooting tends to help, as Water mentioned, data/ is usually considered the root FreeSpace2/data/ folder, hence the misunderstanding... or rather, misdescription.

If you got it working in FRED2, you're doing something (probably most of the things) right anyway and getting it to work in-game should not be overly complicated, but I guess you could run a debug build and check for any missing background bitmap reports and stuff like table parsing errors, though I dunno why you would not get it in-game but see it in FRED2.

Well at this point I've pretty much said **** tbls and thrown it all in the data folder. The planet shows up in FRED, but not in game
