Funny, I own FS. The movies were never in a \data\movies folder. They're just in the main dir of the CD. Looking in my FS2 folder, there also is no \data\movies.

my FS1 CD has them all in D:\data\movies\

i've got the Descent DVD version (not the Conflict version). It came with my windows 98 machine a couple years ago.

I have a question, if someone could answer it, please. I've been playing the FS Port, and just now put the .mve files where they should go, for both FS2 and FS1. Maybe this is more of an FS Port-specific question, but its mostly to do with the cutscenes themselves. When I go into the tech room to view movies, all I can see is Introduction. Thing is, I just now beat the game. How do I get them all to show up? FS2 movies show up fine.

This is a bug in the FS Port.  It'll be fixed in 3.1.

If you want to fix it yourself, extract the FS1 cutscenes.tbl file into your FreeSpace2/data/tables folder.

Oh, okay. Thanks. I'll see if I can't manage to scrounge that off of my old scratched up discs.

OK I just tried extracting all of the MVE files off of FS2 CDs and plopped them into the FS2 folder. They didn't work and the intro cutscene is not working. I then tried putting them into data\movies and still it isn't working. I last tried mediavps\data\movies and I even used the launcher to tell it to run a mod linking to that directory and it still will not work? What gives? Does it have something to do with the fact that I installed the game to Drive D instead of Drive C? (I have two hard drives) Or is there a TBL file or something I have to modify or include with the MVE files to make them run? Someone please help!

[karajorma]

The only explaination I can come up with is that you've forgotten to upgrade to a build new enough to actually run the MVE movies (3.6.7 won't cut it).

[MiniSiets]

Oh I see... I'm using 3.6.7 currently lol. Can you please direct me to the latest build (not a BETA either just the next standard build like 3.6.7 was at one point)? Also, it's strange that the new nebulae graphics are not loading, it's using the old nebulae from retail FS2, yet all other graphics are working. WTF is wrong with my computer?

EDIT: Never mind about the nebulae. It seems I forgot to install one VP file. It has now been added and everything is working other than the cutscenes still.

Here you go: 3.6.9 RC7

[Turey]

Here you go: 3.6.9 RC7

pffffft.  don't use that. Use RC 7.8.

go here for a checklist for installing 3.6.9 RC 7.8 and the corresponding media VP's.

[BurntCornMuffin]

7.8?  How did I manage to not know about this...  *upgrades*

Now I gotta go find out what changed...

[karajorma]

It's mostly multiplayer changes really.

Now I gotta go find out what changed...

Since RC7:
 - the usual bunch of little bug fixes
 - some OpenGL fixes
 - small performance/memory improvements
 - some crash bugs fixed
 - envmaps now use a proper texture translation matrix
 - lots and lots of multiplayer fixes
 - some FRED2 bug fixes
 - Launcher 5.5 (still not the final 5.5 however)

... and probably a few things that I can think of right now.

[MiniSiets]

Dammit this will take forever lol. Ever since I got a wireless router my download rates have been 50 KB/sec... Guess I'll just have to let them download over night. Anyway, should I delete my old VP files from 3.6.7 once I get these?

Yes, and get the Zeta VPs plus the mp710 patches.  (all of which are available from the Zeta VP thread)
