(Original release thread with broken links and some may still be relevant good-to-knows, just to provide context in case you don't know what I'm talking about.)As I have announced it on the Moddb, I started patching my out-of-date Retail-optimized first campaign, Renegade Resurgence.
Now it's ready to go, though I'm still not completely satisfied with it. As always, there are many things to improve upon, but every time I fix something, I find something else that could be better.
The old version was "bleeding from many wounds," most notably in dialogs and mission balance. As I replayed the campaign - which played a decisive part in my decision to make a patch -, I noticed that many Retail-optimized missions did not work very well in FSO. Then I ran through all the missions one by one and improved on them. Now, with the official 3 6.9. build, RR works fine on my computer: no crashes, empty loadout screens, or missions that break because FSO does things differently than Retail.
As I mentioned, briefings and mission dialogs went through major improvements. This includes coherence, spelling, syntax, and word choice.
The most time-consuming of all was that I rebalanced some missions. As I replayed the campaign in FSO, I noticed that some missions were harder than they were supposed to be. I hope that the missions are fair in this new patch. Some are easier, especially those that were harder in the first release (Mission 2!).
Other than that, there are a bunch of miscellaneous itty-bitty changes.
Here is the download link. You will not need anything else to run the campaign, so this is rather a re-release than a patch in this regard.
