Just a few questions on the installation..

Does anyone know where I should put these in my fs2 directory?

ShineLT
GlowLTL
FS2HighExplosive
Nebula Patch
ShineFS2

Managed to get the others but wanting to make sure i put them in the right place.. Do they all just go in the effects folder?

Also I keep getting messages up telling me I have a hacked version.. should I be getting these?

And last one: Can't seem to see any servers.. is that a problem with the server or do i need an Ip address/modify config/download another file.. (I have everything mentioned in guide that should be downloaded and all installed apart from the above files..)

Yeah, take out mv_specialeffects from your main FS2 folder (it's a .vp) and you shouldn't be getting the "hacked tables data" message.

As for the rest, Lighty will tell you that :p

Ya Lighty is the main man for FS2_open tech stuff. You might want to keep an eye out for his reply as I do not know anything about this stuff.

So you're doing the individual route, eh? ;)

For the hacked version problem, it appears you have a non-valid table version. As of now, either the english retail tables and my multi weapon effects are validated. The tables for the alternate Cain/Fenris skins coming with my latest texture releases are not valid yet.

If you have mv_core_b you should be able to play multi (see the guide).

As for the files:

ShineLT ---> Freespace2datamaps
GlowLTL ---> Freespace2datamaps
FS2HighExplosive ---> Freespace2dataeffects
Nebula Patch ---> Freespace2dataeffects
ShineFS2 --> Freespace2datamaps (install this first)

Sure, RL has me a bit busy right now, but i'm sure we'll get a game going soon. :)

We need to set up some general FS2 gaming frenzies when the server's around ;)
