Re: MediaVPs 4.1.x Discussion Thread
Well if it breaks, I'll just reinstall. How can I manually add 4.1.23 to FSBlue?

 
Re: MediaVPs 4.1.x Discussion Thread
I didn't mean Knossos, I meant that you run into bugs/issues while playing.

I'k not an expert on Knossos things though.

 
Re: MediaVPs 4.1.x Discussion Thread
Well again. I'll take my chances. Do you know how to manually add the MVPS 4.1.23 or not? :P

 
Re: MediaVPs 4.1.x Discussion Thread
I'm a manual (not Knossos) user so I can't help you there. :(
If nobody shows up here you could ask on Discord or search the forum by entering something like "mod dependencies" in the forum search of Knossos related topics.

 
Re: MediaVPs 4.1.x Discussion Thread
Well, how would you do it manually? Files are still files I guess

 
Re: MediaVPs 4.1.x Discussion Thread
Look at the folder where Knossos installs the stuff, than move the new MVPs into the 4.0 folder and put the 4.0 files elsewhere.

 
Re: MediaVPs 4.1.x Discussion Thread
Alright that might work

wtf no. That method has the potential to break every mod he downloads that uses 4.0.

The correct way to do this incorrect thing is to edit the mod.json in FS Blue from...

Code: [Select]
                    "id": "MVPS",
                    "version": "~4.0.0",
                    "packages": []

to...

Code: [Select]
                    "id": "MVPS",
                    "version": "~4.1.23",
                    "packages": []

The actual correct method is to post this question on the BP forum and bother them until they update their mod.

Hey, this makes more sense. Yea I know I can break stuff but whatever, it's a game lol. I'll just reverse it.
Pretty sure BP forum knows about the update and that they should update their MVps. Not sure about all the other forums with other mod campaigns tho, some use very old MVps. They should fix it!

 
Re: MediaVPs 4.1.x Discussion Thread
Actually that didn't work. I also tried changing all the MVPS lines in the mod file. The new Hi Poly Hecate didn't load in even after changing all the lines, so it doesn't work.
It did work tho if I replaced all the files in 4.0.0 with 4.1.23. But after a while or a restart BPC complained it didn't have the files, so I had to redo it.

Blue Planet Complete uses its own uparmored version of the Hecate, and it also seems to use a specific version of the Aeolus. You may not be able to see the "normal" Hecate easily outside of FSBlue campaign.

You starve it to death.

It's not a bug when the devs made custom versions of the models. :p

Re: MediaVPs 4.1.x Discussion Thread
No, but he thinks it's a bug and is posting about it on the FSU board like we need to fix something.

TLDR: Forcing BP to use 4.1.23 didn't work and caused errors juuuust like was warned. For a real fix, the Blue Planet board is over there. ----->

Re: MediaVPs 4.1.x Discussion Thread
Leave mod support for new MVPs up to the mod teams.

  
Re: MediaVPs 4.1.x Discussion Thread
No I see the new Hecate hi poly version in FSBlue. The other model is probably only used by the War in Heaven.
