Oh yeah, speaking of which, i got the sane version of the animated beams to work correctly They're just like the insane ones, only no slow down

[DaBrain]

They actually look a little bit worse, but the much better performance should make up for this. The compression artifacts are hardly visible anyway.

Yeah, I just played the mission in the original fs2 campain where u haveta trash the ravana, and it seems that the new ursa bomber model is missing from the 3.6.8 zetas, so i think it reverts to the old model, which coincidently looks like poop now. Should i just find a ursa model somewhere else and stick it in the models file? or can someone make a fix for this. Thanks

It's only a small thing but the IBX files for the Mjolnir (beamsaber.bx) and Cain (cruiser03x.ibx) don't appear to be in mv_models. If you could remember to put them in when the next set of VPs are made it would be nice

Might prevent people thinking that the game has crashed when loading Kings Gambit too

I realize this isn't the place for a bug report, but for some reason I can't get to Mantis.

I grabbed the vp's and the recommended build posted earlier, wiped my whole FS2 directory clean, and reinstalled the whole thing from the ground up.  I have the retail CD's and am patched to 1.2 retail FS2.  I installed FSO 3.6.7, the new media vp's, the recommended build, all my campaigns, and my player profiles.  I configured the Launcher and ran FS2.  All I get at the player profile screen is a white screen and grey bars wherever a button or profile name would be.  I managed to click through it and get to the main hall.  Same white screen with grey bars for buttons. 

Any ideas what's going on?

Again, I know this isn't the place, but the problem started after this series of downloads and I can't get into Mantis.  Any help would be appreciated.

Nevermind, replied too quick without reading your problem properly.

Dunno what's causing that..

3D SHOCKWAVES! THEY FINALLY WORK FOR ME!


*does the happy dance*

i'm lovin it


i'm thinking about getting the adveffects, as the framerate rarely drops below 60 fps on 1280x1024 with 8xAF and 2xAA... wheeee

[Backslash]

->Tyrian:
Have you tried OpenGL mode?
Sounds like it could also be a driver problem; do check if your drivers are more than six months old.

Oh and I don't think you need to install 3.6.7; I could be wrong but it might have a file that interferes.  I vaguely remember something like 'aseffects' that caused me problems.   (Then again, maybe the Zetas replace everything properly and what I'm remembering was an additional later addon.)  If you've got these Zetas, the recommended build and the launcher, you should be set.

[Tyrian]

Thanks Backslash.  I'll try that now. 

[Tyrian]

SW33T!!!  OpenGL fixed it!!!  Forgot about that!!!

*Gives cookie to Backslash*

Oooohh:  Double post ftw!

*Runs off celebrating*

When was it broken? 

[Tyrian]

It wasn't broken...It just didn't work for me...

Question: In "Rebles and Renegades" (loop1-1.fs2), shouldn't the NTSC Hinton actually be the NTCs Hinton?

[Shadow0000]

It's NTSC = National Television System(s) Committee, joking, it's NTSC = Neo Terran Science Cruiser, so it should be right that way...any Faustus's Nameplate have a spell like xxSC.

[Zacam]

Okay. That helps. And looking at the FS1 missions, I see the Plato named the same. (which I should've checked first. D'oh!)

Question: I noticed in the vp's that the cache folder doesn't hold all possible ibx's. Wouldn't it be more prudent perhaps to offer a full release of ibx files as a seperate VP instead of bundling a few of them in an existing one, perhaps for 3.6.9?

[Mars]

It's easy to get confused over classes, don't worry about it.

Now that we're skipping the 3.6.8 release, are all of the "beta" Media VPs getting redesignated 3.6.9?

[Turambar]

also, where do i send all the ships with the fixed envmaps?
i'll just slip em into the .vp and wait on the ptah.

[m2258734a]

Hello,
     I have been away from the computer and SCP for quite some time, and everything seems new to me. I was just wondering was there ever an epsilon topic or release of the mediavps or anything SCP related that came after delta. I can't seem to find anything in the search, so I'm just curious to know.

[Shade]

Jumped from Delta to Zeta. You haven't missed anything.

[S-99]

Except for what makes zeta so much better than delta worthy enough to make another significant release of 3.6.8's
