RELEASE - Fortune Hunters 2260 (TBP)

[Vidmaster]

When empires rise and fall, alliances are forged and broken, wars are won and lost, the universe gives birth to its greatest heroes and myths. Some become legendary for centuries, while other ones vanish in the sands of time, buried and forgotten. And during the chaos in which the Interstellar Alliance was born, many people fought and died for the cause, some from the most unlikely places...

difficulty problems? ->   http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,52253.0.html   (dont be ashamed)


IMPORTANT NOTES: 
1.) REQUIRES USE OF THE INF BUILD!!!
2.) REMOVE ANY PREVIOUS FH RELEASES, the first installment is included here.

DOWNLOAD LINKS:
Mirror 1:  http://proxima-fleet.com/files/download.php?id=10  (thx to Primus once again)

For all those many people who did not  play the first one: DO NOW!
For the people who enjoyed  the first: REPLAY IT, to be on the safe side. The Hunters are pretty plot heavy, especially the new episode. Update your basics.

Features: (same concept as FH2259)
- action-packed trip through exotic canon places in the B5 universe
- immersing storyline and writing
- MAJOR battles

Install as usual, just put the vp in your TBP folder. And remove the old FH in case!

Known issues:
- game crashes right away => I SAID USE THE INF BUILD! That's a independent program in your TBP folder
- the game sometimes crashes in Mission 8. => That issue is known. The reason not. Sorry.


Have fun     -      Vidmaster

An intense and well-thought out campaign, methinks. Also,

Spoiler:

That cliffhanger ending is going to gnaw at me now! I have to say that I loved some of the combat in the missions, particularly slaughtering foolish Shadow fighters in a borrowed Nial. Awesome sauce.

  YAY!!!! Can't wait to play these again.  Come to think of it, never did finish 2259, I think during a long mission involving the Drazi I had a bug where I never received the jump out message after everyone left and thus had to replay it, which I really didn't want to do.

After that mission is done it trys to go on the seccond mission then it comes up error and there a whole list of things that pop up. Let me see if i can copy it on here for you.

Is there something im missing and i cannot copy the error unfortunatly is there something i need to play the rest of this campaign Please help me!!!! This game rocks and i wana continue playing it.

[NGTM-1R]

Woot.

Detailed comments to come.

[Vidmaster]

rage2010, are you absolutely SURE you use the Inferno build? because that error only pops up in the normal fs2

No only play it ......

[IPAndrews]

Then use the Inferno build which isn't FRED and isn't for debugging.

[Vidmaster]

there SHOULD be a program called fs2_open_3_6_9_INF in your TBP folder.

The game's launcher defaults to the standart build, so pay attention to that.

[Vidmaster]

got the first bug and oddly enough, it's in 2259 and not in the new episode. A minor change I made had some silly side effect. Replaced the campaign with a fixed version.      Thx to noodle for reporting   

IF MISSION 3 OF 2259 IS UNBEATABLE, PLEASE REDOWNLOAD.

[rage2010]

you know now that you think of it i dont have an inerno build.....wait a tic...AH MAN i forgot to download the beta of the finished uptaded TBP i think i got the answer to my question thanks vidmaster oh and by the way yoour FH series ROCKS i enjoy it much but theres something thats been bothering me the Babylon 5 Heat'em up website isnt working anymore did it get shutdown or did the website move to a new domain. still cant wait for 2261 and 2262 of Fortune Hunters if there will be a continuing seres of them.

Just made a complete ass of myself since I didnt bother looking if there where one already............

[NGTM-1R]

Anybody have just the INF build handy? I'm running TBP out of my main FS2 install...

[FUBAR-BDHR]

TBP is a stand alone program.  You should not be running it out of your FS2 directory.  You need to download and install it in it's own directory.

[Vidmaster]

more minor glitches, nothing that really spoils the expierience. Will fix them when I have the time.

Spoiler:

for example: M12 Enfili's right beam cannon doesn't fire at base

Why not? It's not like the builds are really different, you realize.

[maje]

I really like the general mission structure and story for the campaign so far.  With the exception of having to fix game balancing issues for maybe two missions thus far, it's been pretty fun.  One thing I've been wondering, and forgive me because this may be more of a pof issue, but does the Vree Saucer have its trademark "Rain Cannon" that was seen in Shadow dancing?

Anyways, asides from a few game balance issues for two missions, this is really something.  Looking forward to the end.

[darkmaster]

Just finished it. It's awful and  extremely difficult (the "Alexander" and "Drazi Firehawk" missions).
Are you... one person Vidmaster ? If you don't precise that I must be thinking that you're a group of people. I can hardly believe all that much was done by just one person.
Thank you very very much for this great campaign.
