Freespace 2 Data Installation

Users who find themselves without an installed VP set may find this guide useful. This is a list of all the files I have installed on my working, fancy version of Freespace 2. It describes a full installation with speech and (almost) videos, and also all the mainstream visual mods and upgrades and the Freespace 1 port.

Original Volition VPs

These VPs are all found on the install CDs exceptRoot_fs2.vp which comes from the 1.2 upgrade pack. Some of them are found in data1.cab on install CD1 which can be opened with the unshield command. I am not sure if it is necessary or not to upgrade Root_fs2. --pvh

Root_fs2.vp -- upgraded to 1.20
smarty_fs2.vp
sparky_fs2.vp
sparky_hi_fs2.vp
stu_fs2.vp
tango1_fs2.vp
tango2_fs2.vp
tango3_fs2.vp
tangoA_fs2.vp
tangoB_fs2.vp
warble_fs2.vp

MVE files (which don't work at least under linux)

BASTION.MVE
COLOSSUS.MVE
ENDPART1.MVE
ENDPRT2A.MVE
ENDPRT2B.MVE
INTRO.MVE
MONO1.MVE
MONO2.MVE
MONO3.MVE
MONO4.MVE

SCP upgrade files

Download these from the SCP site.

mv_100patch.vp
mv_core.vp
mv_effects.vp
mv_models.vp
mv_music.vp
mv_textures.vp

Freespace 1 Port VPs

Put these under a directory "fs1" and start Freespace with the added "-mod fs1", or just leave them in the root directory, which seems to work for me.

fsport2_3.vp
fsport_hi-res.vp
sparky_hi_fs1.vp
stu_fs1.vp
tango_fs1.vp
