Earth Alliance Civil War : missions 1 and 2 :
on: October 09, 2008, 04:01:58 am
It was always meant to be a 3-mission teaser, but due to the desertion of a crucial voiceactor who simply disappeared I decided to leave it with this first mission.

The mission is en entire cutscene and has no playable part at all, credits are only placeholders so far.
it was made to give you an impression of the atmosphere EACW wants to create.

Download it here : http://babylon.hard-light.net/CivilWar/EACW_mission_1_teaser.vp

I recommend everyone downloads this. If you like it, and you will, give Skullar the support he needs with regards to voice acting if you want to see more of this astonishingly high quality work.

well, that was one awesome cutscene! I really liked it, and can't wait for more (if you still need voice actors, I could send you a sample with my voice, so that you can see whether or not you can use it...)

but... Since I don't really know alot about TBP in terms of graphic effects, I am not sure if it's normal that way: why can I see stars in hyperspace? I've never seen those in any other TBP mission (maybe I just didn't pay attention then, because I was flying)... If it were possible to remove those, this cutscene would be even better.

you can see stars in Hyperspace because Skullar forgot to use a text editor to set them to zero.

anyway, great teaser.

Nice Teaser, nice RW-references, nice work.

As for voice acting, if you want me to send a sample, send me a message.

To make sure: I just drop the .vp file into the main TBP folder, correct?

The preferred installation method would be to create a folder under your main TBP folder and put it there (EACW or Skullar would be good choices).  Then set the mod in the launcher to that directory.  This keeps your TBP installation clean and easier to support if something does go wrong.

Little late to post, but I was very very impressed by the video. The scripting and conversation between the scenes was really neat. The story itself is really enhanced by the voice-acting and the cinematic gives it a really strong emphasis when it comes to overall character development. Awesome!

One thing, though. You may want to disable keyboard commands or something, because Shift-. can really mess up the cinematic

I have no account, but a 5 minute teaser is not worth being uploaded. Youtubing the video as ingame footage is a better idea :)

I am busy assembling voiceacting scripts.

Well it wouldn't hurt to put the video both places.  Got to be better then my in game screenshot slide show that's currently up.  Besides downloaded are starting to taper off and new content will bump us to the front page.  Front page = free advertising = more downloads.   ;7

Well, you do as you want to.... I am satisfied with visiting THIS forum at moment :)

Glad you all liked it people and thanks for the recommendations.

EACW is a campaign that emphasis atmopshere, and mission 1 was necessary to give a strong start, so people don't loose interest before even starting to play the campaign.
