So the splash screen comes up but there's no actual in-GAME difference in graphics?  By in-game I mean the actual missions, not the menu screens (which I believe are exactly the same as in FS2 retail). 

Have you gone into the "Features" tab on the launcher, and actually turned on the SCP features?  I apologize if that sounds like a lame suggestion, it's really the only thing I can think of off the top of my head and I don't know how familiar you are with the launcher.

Ahem, I did mention processor affinity on dual core pc's, this may have something to do with the problem?

 

Thanks for the suggestion, but I got FS2 working without resorting to that.

Karajorma: I got both retail & SCP up and running after using the root_FS2.vp you posted--without having to swap around the mediavps's. Thanks for all your help!!

The only task I have left is to try to find the original custom hud configurations to change from the default Green/Blue/Amber color scheme. My old hud was semi-tranparent gray at one point, and I'd like to revert it back to that. However, the options menu no longer features any of the custom hud's (I believe there were around 4 or 5 in the HOTU version). I appreciate any suggestions.

Killface... SCP mediavps were put on purpose to 'mediavps' directory. In this way you can select to use these mediavps by using the 'Mod' selection button in the launcher. Basically you should leave the mediavp files to the mediavps directory and then run 'mediavps' mod.

Excellent.  Thanks for the info!

The only task I have left is to try to find the original custom hud configurations to change from solid Blue/Green/Amber. My old hud was semi-tranparent gray at one point, and I'd like to revert it back to that. However, the options menu no longer features any of the custom hud's (I believe there were around 4 or 5 in the HOTU version). I appreciate any suggestions.

Alright, to follow up on my last question, I found that hud configurations are saved in C:\Games\FreeSpace2\data\players when modified. For one reason or another, I can't get the default gray hud to come back after using the installer. If someone could save their default templates (one is gray with bars that turn red when accelerating... another is gray/yellow/military green) and post them here, that would be awesome!!!

Here's what I mean:

Since you're the 3rd person to be able to fix the problem using my VP it sounds like the version being used by Turey's installer is corrupt.

It was a typo, which Turey said he has now fixed - he accidentally told the Installer to get "Root_fs2.vp" instead of "root_fs2.vp".  Nuts to the case-sensitive issue... :
EDIT: added link to thread.

[karajorma]

Yeah. I noticed that after replying.

Thanks for the link, had the same issue.
