Hey guys, really enjoying ye olde Freespace mod, kudos to all

im having a little problem, it wont give me access to any weasons besides the ML-16, the disruptor, the MX-50 and the fury, unless the game pre-selects the loadout and wont let you change, im on the mission to capture the tarannis and i cannot equip select the stiletto bombs (they are there to select, not do i have interceptors)

im running FS open 3_6_9 rc8.
the only other prblem is i cannot review cutcenes in the techroom either (not a massive bother, would be nice tho)

many thanks

Whoa! The TBP legend himself is back after four years.

[Reaperman]

*warble* I have always been here *warble*

and its the guys that made TBP that are the legends, not me

[Fury]

No, the guy who started it all has as much right to be a legend as the rest of us current and ex-TBP-staffers. But we're off topic now, sorry 'bout that.

Reaperman, have you installed the mediaVPs?  And if so, did you install them in the middle of the campaign, or before you started it?

[Reaperman]

they are installed, and were done before i started

[Goober5000]

Okay, could you restate the problem then?  I couldn't follow the run-on sentence...

[Reaperman]

sure

im on the mission first strike, when u gotta capture the tyrannis, and im meant to use the steletto bombs, but they are not avalible in the weapon loadout, nor are interceptor missiles

[Goober5000]

Can you post a screenshot of the files in your FreeSpace2 folder?

[Reaperman]

sure, here ya go,

just a little fyi, played the mission without stiletto's, managed to finish it, when i access the mission from the tech room now i can select the stelettos (and avengers)
more annoying however is the game still wont let me equip avenger cannons (and it takes a loooong time to knock out shields with the ML-16's heh)

[Goober5000]

Your copy of mv_core is dated 12/23/2004, which is almost two years old.  Delete that and reset the campaign.

Also, delete tangoA and tangoB.

Is there anything in FreeSpace2/data or in FreeSpace2/data/tables?

[Reaperman]

seems to be working fine now, thanks a lot Goober

[Goober5000]

Cheers.

[Reaperman]

Just a quick question (didnt wanna start a new thread) can anyone tell me how one uses the newer shiney looking models from the scp (like the orions, fenris, herc etc) in the FS port? bearing in mind im rather dumb (i took a BA rather than a real degree ) or point me in the direction of a tomb decribing such feats?

much aprecated, and thanks again Goober, really enjoying the ole Classics after so long without playing

[Goober5000]

You start the game like so:  fs2_open_r -mod fsport, mediavps

Note that you have to have the latest mediavps downloaded to their eponymous folder.
