[ShadowWolf_IH]

I have yet to find the .avi friendly table from kara in any of these vp's.  can someone direct me?

[karajorma]

It's no longer needed Some of Taylors changes are supposed to have made it redundant.

Haven't tested that out though.

[MetalDestroyer]

What is the difference between FS_Open 3.6 and the new VP file ??

[MetalDestroyer]

Shall we delete the old one, the mv_core_a.vp ?

[WMCoolmon]

Yeah

[Starks]

Can we have some screenies of the jump node and the (newer?) cloakmap?

[Singh]

Does this include LS's new multi-friendly tables??

[WMCoolmon]

Yes, mv_effects_c includes LS's multi-friendly tables - Turambar's afterburner effects are also now multi-friendly.

Adding Venom/Nicos Perseus?

EDIT: nm, i see you've replied in the thread.

[Trivial Psychic]

I prefur the look of Bob's subspace node model, except for the textures.  While we're on the subject though, has anyone noticed that when you target a new pof-based jumpnode, the target square is realy small?  Maybe its just limited to Bob's model.

[StratComm]

It's probably the base object; a properly sized cube would fix that.

with a full mv_*.vp install i am not seeing _any_ shivan beamglows

[Taristin]

I made it in 3 times! w00t!

Anywho, F1gment made the Myrmidon, JarC got it to the point where I could convret it, and I converted it and sopied the pof data...

Ahh, that explains the errant .tbm...I can fix this, but it'll either break multiplayer (modifying the .tbl) or add a .tbm which will correct the filenames (attached to the posts) - the old ones were using engine glows.

I'm not sure how FSN works with .tbm files, AFAIK it doesn't check for 'em.

You can do better...

[WMCoolmon]

True, I just used the second pic I could get of it. (The first was probably a bit better, but it got overwritten)

[Kazan]

um WMC: rename the files?

Referring to the node?

Because if so: You try to make a decent design using only triangles!

At the moment all the muzzle-glow files for the beams are present, they're just colored wrong. engineglow01 is used on Terran ships and was all white, for example, now it is tinged with blue; this looks wrong with the Shivan beams.

Edit: Which raises the question, WHY AREN'T THEY APPEARING? SAAA, SRed, LRed, and BFRed all use engineglow01, but it's included with default FS2 and in the VP.
