You probably need to alter the mod.ini for those too.

Into?

[General Battuta]

Well, to reference mediavps_3612 instead of mediavps, I suppose.

Also, right out of the installer, I'm getting this whenever I try to run Silent Threat: Reborn in debug mode:

ERANGE: String error. Please Report.
Trying to put into 32 byte buffer:
ÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌ.

This normally indicates a corrupt VP file.  Re-download the last VP that the game loads according to the debug log and try again.  Please report what the name of the VP is if the issue continues after you re-download the file if the issue persists.

Got it, it was the Silent Threat: Reborn voice VP. It might have been a hiccup with my net that didn't download all of it (it was about 100mb too small), if there's nothing wrong with the copy the installer's supposed to install. Unfortunately, still getting an error:

Another debug log please.

Sorry if this is getting annoying. >.<

[General Battuta]

I feel like these errors are produced by the fact that the mod.ini is not referencing the normal MVPs...that's where those LOD0 anims would be, right?

[Ghastly]

Tried running with fsport-mediavps, mediavps_3612, both, and without either, but they still spewed the same error.

[Goober5000]

At this point we may* be getting into fsport-mediavp debug warnings.  There will be a release very soon which will address those.

*Emphasis on may, since I don't know if this specific error is one of those.

[Ghastly]

Well, a friend of mine has it working perfectly without any of the mediaVPs, but I can't ask him because he's on vacation for the next few weeks. And I still have no idea what's wrong with Shivans - Echo Gate.

[General Battuta]

If you just switch to the release build these warnings should go away, assuming Goob's right. Don't need to play in debug.

[Ghastly]

Ah, yeah, that works. I assumed it was just giving more detailed information on warnings/errors the release version would get.

Anyone have any thoughts on the missing ship error in Echo Gate?

[Goober5000]

You must use both fsport-mediavps and medaivps[_3612], or neither.  Using only one of the two will cause problems.

What is the missing ship error?

[Ghastly]

What is the missing ship error?

I said a few posts back. When loading the third mission of Shivans - Echo Gate, it says it can't find eight ship classes.

[Goober5000]

Ok.  Do you have a debug log from that attempt?

[Ghastly]

I apologize if this is an "It requires the mediaVPs" problem.

[Droid803]

Yeah that's lightspeed nebula.
It's in le media vee pees.

[Ghastly]

Loaded it up with the MediaVPs (both mediavps_3612 and fsport-mediavps), but still getting the missing ship error.

[Goober5000]

The debug mode error:

That's not the error, but your pastebin log told me what the problem was.  Hrid and Scald wings have ship classes that don't exist.  Specifically, they use "GTF Loki (stealth)" which was renamed to "GTF Loki#Stealth" in the most recent Port version.  This will require the mod to be patched -- or maybe I can hack a FSO feature that will handle this...

In the meantime, put the attached mission in [shivans mod dir]\data\missions and it should load fine.
