Having trouble figuring out installation
I got FSO from gog and installed it. Then reading the linux manual install guide I got to this point and got lost:

For serious graphical improvements, download the MediaVPs.
First, create a new folder called "mediavps" into the FS2 main directory.
Download the following files from the 3.6.10 MediaVPs release thread and place them to the "mediavps" directory:

I didn't find any files to download  in that thread. Where do I get these files to download?

Thanks

It is in the Freespace Upgrade section of the forum, right here.

Re: Having trouble figuring out installation
More plainly than those two up there: 3.6.10 mediavps have been replaced with the lovelier 3.6.12 mediavps, so those are what you probably want  (and what X3N0-Life-Form linked to).
In-Mission Techroom Script v0.4 - See information from the techroom in game
Simple Animation Script v0.2 - Make your own on-screen animations for FSO
Visible Waypoints Script - Makes waypoints visible in-game
Run From File Script - Get around the pesky 31 character limit for script-eval

 
Re: Having trouble figuring out installation
When I downloaded and unzipped all the files they made 2 directories.

MediaVPS_3612
mediavps_3612

Should the contents of these be in one directory or put them in the FreeSpace directory together, which I did.
After running fs2_launcher and setting mediavps_3612 as the mod I can not add any Features in the Features section, there is nothing there to add.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Re: Having trouble figuring out installation
Copy the contents of the first directory into the second (the one with the all-lowercase name).
