Don't mention it. Seriously. I'm just doing this since at the moment it's the only way I can contribute to this community.

[MP-Ryan]

You aren't by chance implying that I should start hosting this LS Nebulae + FS2 mission pack, as opposed to having them as separate downloads?

I was just providing an alternative.

But now that you mention it, it's silly to keep them separate since the missions total no more than a couple megabytes altogether =)  Though if you don't like the DDS versions, a repack of the originals would work just fine too.

[Jeff Vader]

It would, of course, be handy to have them in a single vp, and I know that the mission files take up little space. But there's always the option that some people have the same hardware endurance issues that I have. In which case missions where an awful amount of nebulae have been implemented on the background (like that improved 'Into the Lion's Den') tend to cause severe slowdowns. That could cause extra problem threads with people complaining that the LS Nebulae vp causes slowdowns in certain missions, and then we'd need to instruct them on extracting the dds files and disregarding the vp, or making a modified mission file for those particular missions and telling them how to use them.

But, I could always give it a shot. I'll put it up some time next week.

oki guis well i have installeed and stater playng this campaign and i must say its sweet but no beeing able to see any weapons effects its kinda well not so cool ive tried everithing inclueding the patch and i have all of the media vp's but still no effect. What else should i do?

[Jeff Vader]

Mod.ini?

[Cobra]

Gah, use periods!

[AlphaOne]

soo um do i just use the mod.ini as always ? what about LS Nebulae i mean i have it but it wont work in this campaign i mean the LS nebulae pack

[Jeff Vader]

Soo... um, yes. You should have a mod.ini file in your blueplanet folder, just like with every other mod. And it should refer to your mediavps folder. If you feel like doing it yourself, see Karajorma's FreeSpace FAQ's section about installing mods. If not, look for one of Cobra's posts in this thread that has a mod.ini as an attachment or use this. As for the LS Nebulae, where do you have them? Actually, never mind. Where ever they are, take them out of there and put them to your mediavps folder.

[AlphaOne]

doh now you tell me i never had them in my mediavp's folder. Strange it used to work nevertheless i think.

OH well il use that thanx for the help. HOpe it fixes the whole colourless weapons issue. Other then that? Well freaking awesome campaign. I love it ad i havent even got half way to it.

So any thing new?  

[Darius]

Nope. I'm trying to work out why half of the new models suddenly become fly-throughable for no apparent reason. It's the same issue that I was having with the Titan previously

No progress till I find out why it's happening.

[terran_emperor]

Maybe its that warp-in bug from FS1 rearing its ugly head again

[ShadowGorrath]

Well , I had the same problem after I applied my own new textures for a copy of the Fenris . Normal HTL Fenris works fine , but when I retextured it , it became fly-throughable . No idea how to fix it . Even the HTL Ravana has that problem . Maybe ask for info from other modelers ?

[Mad Bomber]

Hmm. What programs are you using to edit the POFs?

[ShadowGorrath]

PCS2 to change the texture names , and the GIMP to edit the textures . Don't know about Darius .

[G0atmaster]

the Aten model in the mediaVPs is notorious for this.

[blowfish]

Hmm ... could be this bug:

#1281 After using cutscene sexps to teleport player to a new position warships have no collision detection (Kazan) FIXED

If its the actual model file, just open in PCS2, and purge the BSP cache before recompiling the POF.  Works almost every time.

Yep, sounds exactly what I did. However, upon doing this:

It's been fixed. Thanks! Time to go back to work.

[AlphaOne]
