when i played the main campaign of FS2
all of the special vortex textures looked like the old retail version
is there any way to reestablish the newer ones?

You'll need to create a couple of table files to \freespace2\mediavps\data\tables:

1) mv_expl-wxp.tbm

Code: [Select]

; weapon_expl.tbl
;
; Table file for specifying which filenames are to be used for which explosions
;
;
#Start

$Name: exp20 ; flak explosion
$LOD: 1

$Name: ExpMissileHit1 ; missile hits, etc.
$LOD: 1

$Name:  exp05
$LOD:       1

$Name:  exp06
$LOD:       1

$Name:  exp04
$LOD:       1

$Name:  Subach_Impact
$LOD:       1

$Name:  Mekhu_Impact
$LOD:       1

$Name:  Akheton_Impact
$LOD:       1

$Name:  MS_Impact
$LOD:       1

$Name:  Prometheus_Impact
$LOD:       1

$Name:  Maxim_Impact
$LOD:       1

$Name:  Kayser_Impact
$LOD:       1

$Name:  Circe_Impact
$LOD:       1

$Name:  Lamprey_Impact
$LOD:       1

$Name:  Shivan_Impact01
$LOD:       1

$Name:  Vapula_Impact
$LOD:       1

#End
2) mv_fireball-fbl.tbm

Code: [Select]

; fireball.tbl
;
; Table file for specifying which filenames are to be used for which explosions
;
;
#Start

$Name: exp04 ; Used for the 4 little explosions before a ship explodes
+Explosion_Medium
$LOD: 1

$Name: WarpMap01 ; Used for the warp in / warp out effect
+Warp_Effect
$LOD: 1

$Name: WarpMap02 ; Used for the KNOSSOS warp in / warp out effect
+Knossos_Effect
$LOD: 1

$Name: exp05 ; Used when an asteroid explodes
+Asteroid
$LOD: 1

$Name: exp05 ; ship explosion 1
+Explosion_Large1
$LOD: 1

$Name: exp06 ; ship explosion 2
+Explosion_Large2
$LOD: 1

#End
