How to add MPR++ to Planet mod

Post by thunderchero »

to install MPR++ on planet mod 1080 properly

Note: this will only work since planet mod has no ship list changes from vanilla.

first thing make a backup folder of vanilla and planet mod
best way to do this is to create a new folder in the install path, name folder "backup" and copy all files and folders to the backup folder.
this is important to be able to uninstall planet mod if and when you want to remove or re-install

you need vanilla installed, resolution or mpr++ does not matter

install planet mod with 1080

if you have already backup your vanilla files delete all files and folders except "backup" folder

move all files and folders of the planet mod folder to vanilla folder. (except backup folder)

run the MPR++ patch using vanilla install option.

move all files and folders (except vanilla backup folder) back to planet mod folder. (this is important game uses registry to find the location of files when playing MP games)

run trek.exe from planet mod folder and test if MPR++ models are displaying correctly.

move your backup vanilla files back into vanilla folder.

lastly you need to remove the uninstaller files from the planet mod folder since the uninstaller uses registries to uninstall and would uninstall your vanilla mpr++ if they were ran by mistake.

remove these files and folder
"uninstall_files_DO_NOT_DELETE" folder
"unins000.dat" file
"unins000.exe" file
"uninstall.ico" file
