:wtf: Errrrr.... is it me, or does the debug build eat subsystems? I've had about 4 ships stripped of all their subsystems now by trying to run them in the debug version. This included an extracted Box-standard Herc model.

Edit : Ok, it may well be me, ignore this for now and I'll do some double checking, I can't think of a single way a debug could alter a pof file.

Yes, the media VP version number is kind of just a marker - there are no compatability issues between them, AFAIK.

As for WinRAR, you can get a free trial - mine's an older version but it never expired, so I think you can keep using it without full functionality. The latest version is 3.2, I think.

If the trial expires on you, give us a shout and I'll temporarily upload a version zipped up instead.

I don't think you can use the latest mediaVP, but you can try. It might not work correctly. If it doesn't work, grab version 3.5.5 :)

In order for the MediaVP 3.5.6c (any VP post 3.5.5) to work properly, you need to make sure the version of FSO you're using can use .tga files, and you're using the proper command line flags.  Its always best to use the latest build, which can be found in the "newest version of everything" thread, or the new builds thread, both of which are stickied.  The latest build is 12_05_03_fs2_open_r.exe, and the proper command flag for that build is -jpgtga.

How do you usualy run Freespace?

If you play it through the launcher (the Open launcher that is), then I'm stumped.  If you launch it with a direct shortcut, remember that the command line tags need to be either added to this shortcut, or (if you're using version 3.3 of the launcher), use the box that applies flags whenever the selected exe is run, no matter how its started.

Later!

-Sometimes the first digit of all numbers disappears in v3.5.6c (for example 026 instead of 1026).

-All buttons and additional item (for example all medals) have a blue underline if I use the -pcx32 parameter.

-FS sometimes doesn't unload from virtual memory after quiting the game.

Seriously. Read that guide to installing I linked to on another thread you posted to. It will really help. And if it doesn't give me some feedback and I'll improve it :)

Can someone edit the first post to send people to the installation page in the Wiki first?

Lots of newbies come here looking for FS2 and install this version (because it looks like it's the one everyone is using) only to run into problems later because FS2_Open has moved on hugely since this was released.

To be honest I think we should unsticky both this thread and the Latest Versions of everything and replace them with a thread called How To Install and Run FS2_Open. That page should simply point to the Wiki (cause that way anyone can edit the details rather than just the person who starts the thread).

First post edited.

That's on our to-do list.  I think we'll put something together in conjunction with 3.6, but exams are getting in the way now. ;)

Well I've already edited the Wiki to include a version of the latest version post and a guide to installing FS2 so you've got a pretty big lead already :)

Basically all we need is for someone to make a thread and sticky it :D

all the links to the fs2open 3.5.5 are broken :(
Anyone have a replacement? Or willing to temporarily upload it somewhere?
After much debate I decided quotes are a waste of time.

Don't bother with 3.5.5. It's not bad but there have been lots of changes since it came out. Click on the How to install FS2_Open link below instead.

Oh and
