Well, I successfully loaded several mods (including the MediaVPs) into FRED2open without pain. By adding the -mod flag to the shortcut to FRED I accomplished this. I've had no problem with mods, provided that they are in VP files.
Now I'd like to load mods that are NOT in VP files, which I'm having a bit of trouble with.
I've placed all pof files in the FreeSpace2/MODNAME/data/models directory.
I've placed all pcx files in the FreeSpace2/MODNAME/data/maps directory.
I've placed the TBL.txt file in the FreeSpace2/MODNAME/data/tables directory.
Then I load it into FRED by adding onto the shortcut -mod MODNAME
However, the mod is not loading correctly.
The mod is a new ship from the FreeSpaceMods site.
Any ideas?
