Is the code to add them in even public, anyway?

Just to set it straight:

"Nebedit. An old utility used for generating FS1 style background nebulae patterns. Not used directly in FS2, but the code to display the old nebulae still exists in the FS2 codebase."

Cordially,

Oh, cool. I'd add a feature request but I'd probably accidentally ignore one of the rules and get banned or something.

I've extracted them all to c/games/freespace/FSport

Due to a previous attemp they've all (apart from the patches) come up as FRED (Not freespace missions, but Freespace Editor). When i try to open freespace it starts running and then exits immediately, it opens up and the screen goes black like it's about to show the opening clip for Freespace 2 then terminates to nothing

I extracted the FS1 neb palettes to data\effects and chose the patterns and color in the background editor but they didn't show up in FRED or FreeSpace. But it didn't crash or anything for me.

[Killer Whale]

I mean all the PSport stuff, from the origianal question

[General Battuta]

Are you launching FSPort through the Launcher, or by clicking directly on an executable?

Remember to choose FSPort as your mod, by opening the Launcher, going to the Mod tab, clicking Select MOD and selecting the fsport folder there. Then click Apply and Run. And don't forget to select the FS1 campaign from the Campaign Room in-game.

[Killer Whale]

There isn't a MOD tab, sorry for bringing up such an old topic, but i kinda gave up.

[karajorma]

You're still not running FS2_Open are you?

What's the filename of the program you're running. Freespace2.exe or launcher.exe?

[Killer Whale]

Freespace2.exe, the launcher for Freespace2

[Jeff Vader]

Wrong. Do not, I repeat, do not run either FS2.exe or Freespace2.exe. Using the retail executables kind of ruins the whole thing, since you're supposed to use the brand new and goddamn mother****ing cool FreeSpace Open engine.

Run Launcher.exe and nothing else and you'll be fine.

I find that in most FSport missions, they just use one or two nebulae over and over again. It looks kinda ugly.

[Jeff Vader]

I don't think it's ugly, but... rather strange looking. Then again, I've heard rumors that once 3.1 makes an appearance, we get updated missions that take full advantage of LS Nebs.

We already have that, just that hopefully the next vp's make them easier to have them on by default.

[Jeff Vader]

We do? Where? Why haven't I seen them?

[S-99]

Lol, i haven't seen them either. You need the modified missions and the lightspeednebulae vp and then you'll see them. I don't remember the exact details though.

[Jeff Vader]

...yeah, that would be exactly the same thing as with LS Nebulae and the better FS2 missions. I mean those are incredible compared to the retail missions and even the retail missions with LS Nebulae present. Just that I've never seen 'dem modified missions for the Port.
