A simple bug, and really need an explanation on how to use Mantis
Below is my current error. I'm guessing that I'm just missing a media vp, so I'm redownloading in case I missed one from the initial zip file, but how do you submit a new bug or correctly search Mantis for a resolved issue?

Error: Invalid ship/wing name.

In sexpression: ( is-destroyed-delay 5 "GTT Argo 01" )
(Error appears to be: GTT Argo 01)
File: MissionParse.cpp
Line: 6096

Re: A simple bug, and really need an explanation on how to use Mantis
Well the not so simple answer is there is more then one Mantis.  SCP has a Mantis for the code that is linked at the top of the forum.  http://scp.indiegames.us/mantis/  although it has registration problems that are currently being worked on.  In the case of a specific scenario such as yours with the MediaVP mod you can find the Mantis for those here:  http://hard-light.net/mantis/main_page.php

For your error there should already be a patch.  If you have the MediaVPs you will need to download the patch as well.  I don't have a link to it memorized (yet) but you can find it in the FreeSpace Upgrade Project forum.

Yep, that's a bug that was corrected in the patch for the mediavps, which can be found here: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=65038.msg1288578#msg1288578
