We have to go with the blue one anyway because that's what  started out with

Don't suppose we could just have both?

So exactly how do I install my subspace graphic? Just re-installed freespace 2 and the scp.

EDIT: Also, now that I've installed the latest mediavp's, I'm getting this error.


Error: mv_music-mus.tbm(10):

EDIT2: Actually, I get way more errors than that if I keep clicking the "OK" button.

You are using very old builds (like 3.6.7 release build) try getting more recent builds like the 3.6.9 RC1.

Then you can install your graphic by for example downloading the set taylor converted to dds and then renaming the file (warpmap.vp) into something like a_warpmap.vp and placing it to your mediavp directory

[J.P.]

Ok, I did that. But now it says it can't read the flag file everytime I open the launcher.

And the game still won't run.

It seems you havent yet installed OpenAL... try getting it from here http://www.openal.org/

[J.P.]

Alrighty, thanks a lot! I got it working. I'm satisified now with the graphic.

I would still greatly appreciate a TGA version of the new effects if you don't mind.  The JPG ones just have too many artifacts in them and it only gets worse when they are converted to DDS.

[Flipside]

If you can't convert to DDS, you could always just zip up the .bmps or whatever the original format is and post 'em, I'll convert them for you if needed

[J.P.]

Alrighty. Made targa's this time.

[Turambar]

what are you using to convert to .dds

whatever it is, make sure its the newest version of it. compression and quality improve with newer versions

i could do it if you like

[Flipside]

By all means, you probably have more experience at it than me, and my Photoshop plugin seems to behave a bit 'oddly' at times

[taylor]

I already re-converted them.  I'll upload the new VP when I get back home.

[S-99]

AAAhh yes. You have mastered the fat man's ripple, applied it to the subspace effect, and converted to dds. Ingenious

[neoterran]

much better. I too noticed the artifacts.

[taylor]

Same as before, just converted from the TGAs this time: a_warpmap.rar

[S-99]

I was looking at the jpeg ones, very  nice, i didn't see any artifacting, unless you guys actually used it for a subspace effect yet
