MPR++ v0.2.6c open for alpha testing

[meslinjf]

Thank you!

I've changed the line in the mpr++.ini and the game has the right resolution and does not stretch. Unfortunately, it crashes as soon as I go fullscreen.

For the models, I'm starting to understand how it works by going through all the files. I'm not ready yet to do anything with the 3ds models available on the download section but I will add the new models with the UE, write the new lines in HobMappings and do everything else for the Nova class. I'll keep you posted.

UE is used when adding models, but no ship model in download section will work with MPR++

extra models available for MPR++ can be found here (even nova class)

yeah, there are some issues with switching fullscreen mode on several graphic cards. try to change mpr++.ini to start in fullscreen mode right away and it should work:

Code: Select all

[display]
DISPLAY=FULLSCREEN

good luck on this, but also check viewtopic.php?f=134&t=3310 for some samples

I upgraded to WIN 10 and now have horrible mouse lag when playing. I have read here that this may fix it. I was wondering if I might be able to try out MPR++? Please and thank you!

[kelsinger]

hi, could i also try the MPR+ please? Got the mouse Lag happening hard. Thankyou!

My friend and I just started playing BOTF again and would love to be alpha testers for your MPR++. Please send me the link to it. So excited that we found this. Hope you're up right now.

I'm not sure I am willing to go through a 100 pages of comments on the modifications, but here are some of my observations, excuse me if they are redundant :

1. Minor ships phasers and torpedoes do not appear in game. They just circle around my ships damaging them.
2. Some of the icons for the ships could be upgraded a little. I would be more than willing to change them myself and post a new ship pack to easily change the icons in UE.

Hi meslinjf,
some redundant reports doesn't matter - gives me track on what's mostly requested.
1. yep I've read that before, must be some hob mapping issue with HobMappings.xml
2. great suggestion, but you better don't use UE with mpr++ atm, not sure if this will work
thunderchero, what do you have on the icons?

[thunderchero]

thunderchero, what do you have on the icons?

if he is talking about the ship icons i_cl1170.tga ect, those are part of the vanilla/mods files not mpr++. although I think some were already edited when models were changed in v0.2.6c.

[flonor]

Could i also test you mpr++
It would be a honor ;-)

welcome flonor, links sent

@thunderchero yep I think that's what he is talking about. They are not part of mpr++ but wondered whether you already have icons available for all the ships or if meslinjf's offer to create some icons is of help? (e.g. taking ingame screenshots in demo view f12->d without background in a specific angle)

[thunderchero]

They are not part of mpr++

144 models have new images in mpr++ v0.2.6

if meslinjf's offer to create some icons is of help?

on next release of models for mpr++ I plan on replacing none of these images, that should be up to the mod developer.

if he want to offer them separately that would be up to him.
