Re: RELEASE: 3.6.10 Media VPs
FYI guys, in my COTS campaign files I have the HTL Perseus and Ares with fixed insignias. Jsut though you might want to import the insiagnias from my files to have a complete fighter.

Super. Mind giving us a direct link, so we can put them in the patch?

And where's my Athena? :beamz:

Conversion problems.. patience :P

My FS2 modding is in it's downtime, so I'm not working much, ergo it's going slowly. I could have had the Demon done by now, but I'm...doing other stuff. :P

Re: RELEASE: 3.6.10 Media VPs
Quick question: are there any builds that run the 3.6.10 mvps and support text-to-speech? I've been looking for one to play Warzone but can't find any.

Re: RELEASE: 3.6.10 Media VPs
Yeah I don't have the speech SDK installed anyway so I can't really make a build with it without investing quite a bit of time, so I'll just let whoever normally makes release builds start the RC line with speech and whatnot.

You mean folder?

When you click the browse button in the launcher there should be a dropdown list saying what type of file to look for. By default it is Freesapce 2 Open.exe exe, but you can change it to "any exe".

However the nightly build IS a Freespace 2 Open exe, so if you cant see it, either you have the build in the wrong directory or you changed the file extension. The nightly build should be in your main Games/Freespace 2 directory.

If you do have the latest nightly build, you should be looking for a file called "fs2_open_3_6_10r-20081217_r5008.exe".

Re: RELEASE: 3.6.10 Media VPs
Hmm...It seems normal mapping does not work for me. :(  I only have a built-in nVIDIA GeForce GO 5200 32MB graphics card on a Tablet PC. Everything else looks purtty, though, especially with the higher poly modeled ships.

By the way, just what is the absolute minimum requirement for normal maps? I have the latest DirectX.

Edit 2: What are the default files on "Games\FreeSpace2\" suppose to be again? I have a list of .vp files lying dormant here, but I'm not sure again which ones are essential or left overs from previous SPC updates (it's been quite a long time):

Re: RELEASE: 3.6.10 Media VPs
Is there a difference with each updated nightly build? What is being fixed?

Like Droid said, in each post of a nightly is the log that was associated with that build in SVN.  It doesn't build if there were no changes, so any time there's a build, there's been at least one change made.  If you go to the svn browsers itself you can see the code that changed directly, but the logs are usually pretty explanatory.

Normal maps require a Shader Model 3.0 card, but there's still some issues with some of those cards.

sfried, that looks like the entire list right there, the only other vps you could have in your root folder are the multi mission and voice pack, and the ogg cutscenes.

I have all my ogg cutscens in "Games\Freespace\data\movies\" folder. That's what the previous SPC instructions told me to put it.

Since it seems my graphics card is out of range for Shader Model 3.0, should I just turn normal mapping off to save processing power for performance, or are there some special lighting effects tied to it?

Did you extract the .7z file you downloaded? The .exe files are inside.

DirectX is unrelated to FSO (, in terms of graphics, that is).

You could also have them in a .vp. I think the Installer downloads them in a .vp that is placed to \freespace2\. But individual ogg files in \freespace2\data\movies indeed work well, so don't worry about it.

Not exactly true. Direct3D isn't used (except with older builds you can select that if OpenGL simply doesn't work, but chances are D3D will still not work correctly), but for example game controller interface uses that part of DirectX (on windows builds), as far as I know anyway. Graphics is just a part of DirectX.

sfried, the OGG Cutscenes .vp file goes in the root folder, if you have the individual .ogg or .mve cutscenes they go in data/movies.
