The Procyon Insurgency V1.03 Patch (320KB)

FS2 Open 3.6.9 RC7.9X build (required)

FS2 Media VP 3.6.8Z thread (recommended)

Installation
Installing The Procyon Insurgency (PI) is simple:

1: Create a folder called PI in your Freespace 2 directory and extract the PImain.vp file into it.

2: If you're using the mv_effects.vp Media VP content file, extract PIeffects.vp into the PI folder too. Do the same for PIadveff.vp (if you have the mv_adveffects.vp) and PIassets.vp (if you have mv_models.vp, mv_textures.vp, and/or mv_assets.vp). If you don't have the appropriate Media VPs, these files should not be used.

3: Make sure that your Media VP folder is named "mediavps" and extract the included mod.ini file into the PI folder. Start the FS2 Launcher, select the PI directory as a mod and load up the game.

4: Create a new pilot (or clone an existing one) before playing PI to avoid any potential problems with conflicting tables.

Additional remarks
1: PI currently requires FS2 Open 3.6.9 RC7.9X to run without any problems. As of April 27, 2007, all newer builds, including 3.6.9 Final, exhibit a few bugs in the campaign, although this is likely to change with the next available build.

2: At the moment, PI does not support mv_music.vp and will show no benefit from that addon file. A large update for mv_music.vp is in the works and there will be a new version of PI compatible with it once it is released.

3: The FS2 speech synthesis should be disabled. Although it will work in PI, the missions have not been designed with it in mind and strange effects may occur with the message sychronization. The missions have been designed to have the ingame messages as readable as possible.
