How do I install Lightspeed's Nebulae Pack?
  STranglely enough, his website, the readme, the campaigns that use this, any faqs... AVOID this question completely.. what directies to I put the files into?  :confused:

 
Re: How do I install Lightspeed's Nebulae Pack?
if it's a .vp, just drop it in the main freespace directory.

If you're using my package of them, you just extract it into your main FS2 dir (or the MediaVPs dir, if you're using mod.ini)

Yeah I am trying to find out how to use the ones that came in Transcend...  I see one table with both files and a bunch of pcx and other files.. I know where to put the tables but where is the other stuff  :hopping:.

You should have the table file in a folder called something like Freespace2\Transcend\Data\Tables.

Just put the nebulae pcx files in Freespace2\Transcend\Data\effects

Hey WMCoolmon, that's a great package of them.  Makes it much easier for newbies... the RAR on Milliways is not so straigtforward.  I mean, I know where to put stuff, but for other people there's far less margin of error if it's just one VP.  I hope you'll make that pack more widely available, say on the SCP.indiegames.us website?

However, note that it's missing nebulas G and H.  To save you time, here is a repack:  http://www.qeyleb.net/files/ls_neb.rar (save as).

Did you include the tables for G and H in that? Cause there is a VP floating around with the nebs and no corresponding table.

Yep, has the updated table.

I tried to be all clever and modify it and use a tbm, but stars.tbl being non-XMT I couldn't figure out a good way to do that.  So it's still with the original.

Yeah I saw that pack.  In a lot of cases it was no problem since most of the campaigns that used these nebulas had their own stars.tbl , but this one is still nice to have because it includes everything!

I've now RARed it and updated the previous link.  I considered putting it in a self-extracting exe, but some of the cross-platform people were complaining about not being able to open those.
