Re: [RELEASE] Shadow Genesis: 2017 Edition
Unfortunetely I doubt so. I'm tired of SG and basicly no longer interested in further project development. We made Exile mostly because I wanted something with more sophisticated and unique plot. When we decide what to do next, I guess it will be second act of Exile, but hope still remains.

Re: [RELEASE] Shadow Genesis: 2017 Edition
Well, if you need to take a break for a while that's understandable.  My vote/hope though is that SG gets continued some day.  :)



If you ever make a decision someday that you're 100% definitely not going to do anymore SG work, could you at least write a story summary of what you had planned to do with SG 2 and 3 so we can know what would have happened at least to the GTVA, Nightmares, Cerberus, etc.?
It's similar to what Blue Planet people have said they would do if the campaign wasn't going to be completed:  they said they'd write out the plot remaining so people weren't left hanging totally.

Re: [RELEASE] Shadow Genesis: 2017 Edition
I was thinking about it. Perhaps we will if we make a decision about final project closure, we might reveal scripts for the remaining acts. Silent Eyes for example has much better writting than Act I, and in my opinion it's worth to be made.

In my opinion, SG suffers from a problem of being campaign I wanted to make, with storyline we added later. SG is very old mod, released in 2013 and started in 2011. My way of storline design and overall campaign development evolved over the years, gave birth to Exile, end rendered SG obsolete in terms of development. Alrough further, hipotetical acts of SG are written much better, Exile is more original, imaginative, has better plot details and character development. While SG still has good storyline, it's below my current ambitions :P.

Idea came to my mind one day: Shadow Genesis: Reborn - completly new project based on old SG as a mainframe. With HTL Nightmare fleet, Vasudans as a part of Wolf's Fleet, new incarnation of Cerberus called Anathema [along with their flagship, following the scheme], major improvements in Nightmares plot and completly new missions... But later I realized that life is going on and we probably won't have time for such things. I made GTCv Eurynome for that purpose, and today it's solely remaining off-shot of whole SG:R idea. Other stuff [including apophysis skyboxes] were included in SG 2017.

In previous posts I wanted to give players some hints about continuation, just like original FS did if we won't decide to resume project development.

Re: [RELEASE] Shadow Genesis: 2017 Edition
If anyone could give some advice on achieving the achievement in mission 21 I'd appreciate it:

 SG21    - INNOCENTS FROM TAU ENIGMA   - Save all ships of the civilian convoy in "Through back door"



Is this talking about just the ships in your convoy or both convoys?  One convoy is nearly instantly destroyed by an enemy destroyer when it jumps in.
Even if it's just your convoy I can't seem to save all the ships (civilian and military).


Any suggestions?

 
Re: [RELEASE] Shadow Genesis: 2017 Edition
Only your convoy. You cannot save the other one.

Commanding your wingmen and concentration on small transports are the key to unlocking this achievement. Alexandria can survive quite a lot of hits. Paradoxically, you often need to prioritize enemy fighters rather than bombers.

I patched it up from outstanding work of Jack Wall. Everything is in the credits, or in SG-mus.tbm.

I finally got this through the tech room yesterday.  Admittedly I played on "Very Easy", but I still got the achievement.  Sometimes I would fire an Angel at a fighter and it would take out the whole fighter wing which was helpful in mission.  :cool:

Re: [RELEASE] Shadow Genesis: 2017 Edition
I ran into an interesting glitch on "Long Road Home" concerning the achievement on that mission:

This is what the thread officially lists the achievement as:
17. SG27    - THE FINAL STRAIGHT      - Escort Stalker to Spica with hull at min. 35% in "Long road home"



I managed to get the Stalker out with 35% exactly.  The issue is, in game the achievement was displayed as     "- THE FINAL STRAIGHT    - Escort Stalker to Spica with hull at min. 40% in "Long road home".
In game it said I needed 40% but I only got 35% and still got the achievement.  I'm not complaining (since I got the achievement), but just thought I'd let you know.


 
Re: [RELEASE] Shadow Genesis: 2017 Edition
I tried downloading this, and got a CTD when loading the first mission.

I tried redownloading it (maybe a bad download?) and the same thing happened.

So I ran a debug build, and got this:

Your mv_effects_wep.tbm does not seem to have it either.
"Obviously the meson bomb is a form of cat-toast-device, with the buttered toast inverted, so that the cat and toast both fly in the direction of gravity much faster than expected. By introducing artificial gravity, a pair of cat-toast perpetual motion accelerator units can be made to collide with one another, and they produce an unimaginably devastating explosion. Both cats are named 'Meson'."

"Obviously the meson bomb is a form of cat-toast-device, with the buttered toast inverted, so that the cat and toast both fly in the direction of gravity much faster than expected. By introducing artificial gravity, a pair of cat-toast perpetual motion accelerator units can be made to collide with one another, and they produce an unimaginably devastating explosion. Both cats are named 'Meson'."

Re: [RELEASE] Shadow Genesis: 2017 Edition
Code: [Select]
WARNING: "No config file found. Returning to default" at lua.cpp:12182
This has nothing to do with mod.ini (which FSO neither knows nor cares about; that's solely for the launcher). It's a Warning (not an error, and therefore something you should continue past to look for an actual error) and, more to the point, is being generated by a Lua script (specifically, that line is in the "warning" function provided by FSO for Lua scripts to use). I'm not sure what script is generating the warning; I don't see that specific wording anywhere in the scripts provided by e.g. the MediaVPs, so presumably it's one of the scripts being used by Shadow Genesis itself:
Code: [Select]

TBM  =>  Starting parse of 'parsecfg-sct.tbm' ...
TBM  =>  Starting parse of 'axmsg-sct.tbm' ...
TBM  =>  Starting parse of 'AnEngines-sct.tbm' ...
If I had to guess, the immediate generator of the warning is probably parsecfg-sct.tbm, but only because one of the other scripts told it to. If you want to fix that Warning, you'll need to figure out which config file is missing.

"I am one of the best FREDders on Earth" -General Battuta

<Aesaar> literary criticism is vladimir putin

<MageKing17> "There's probably a reason the code is the way it is" is a very dangerous line of thought. :P
<MageKing17> Because the "reason" often turns out to be "nobody noticed it was wrong".
(the very next day)
<MageKing17> this ****ing code did it to me again
<MageKing17> "That doesn't really make sense to me, but I'll assume it was being done for a reason."
<MageKing17> **** ME
<MageKing17> THE REASON IS PEOPLE ARE STUPID
<MageKing17> ESPECIALLY ME

<MageKing17> God damn, I do not understand how this is breaking.
<MageKing17> Everything points to "this should work fine", and yet it's clearly not working.
<MjnMixael> 2 hours later... "God damn, how did this ever work at all?!"
(...)
<MageKing17> so
<MageKing17> more than two hours
<MageKing17> but once again we have reached the inevitable conclusion
<MageKing17> How did this code ever work in the first place!?

<@The_E> Welcome to OpenGL, where standards compliance is optional, and error reporting inconsistent

Re: [RELEASE] Shadow Genesis: 2017 Edition
If SG is not going to have a story continuation, then what was going to be the story behind the unknown destroyer you encounter in the Andromeda galaxy but never see again? (Ok, its idea might not be fully fleshed out, but an overview would be good!) :)

Thanks for the work you have done in bringing this mod more up to date. Played the original twice and I am enjoying this play through as well. Still a few grammar and vocabulary errors, but otherwise it is a lot easier to read then the previous version. Kudos!
I do not feel... I think!

I guess it's the zoom script. It's the same as it was in the first release, so it's pretty outdated but we never encoutered any problem with it... Or shipload scrits. SG uses only three scripts - Zoom, Shipload, and Axem's message box. All three are the same as regular, released versions. Anyway I have zero knowledge about scripts in general and I have no idea how to fix this.

And the strangest issue is the same as always: You have it, others don't o___O. Do you have option to skip this errors?

If SG is not going to have a story continuation, then what was going to be the story behind the unknown destroyer you encounter in the Andromeda galaxy but never see again? (Ok, its idea might not be fully fleshed out, but an overview would be good!) :)

Thanks for the work you have done in bringing this mod more up to date. Played the original twice and I am enjoying this play through as well. Still a few grammar and vocabulary errors, but otherwise it is a lot easier to read then the previous version. Kudos!
Thank ya :). We're still debating about any potential plot reveal. Co-leader wants to keep it internal for now to give players something to think about. Same story as FS2 ending, but I guess we will eventually prepare detailed plot documents and release them.

It's probably my message script. It does try to look for a config file, but if not it has defaults it can use anyway. Though... not sure why I would've made that a warning instead of just a print...

My bad, it really is the zoom script!

Nyctaeus,  I said this in PM but I'll say it here too:  if it would help in you deciding to do a SG sequel, I'd be willing to help with some writing or testing.

Yeah, sorry. I remember it, but something pulled off my attention just after and I forgot to reply.

If we decide to continue this, we'll appreciate any help. Currently we want to focus on other projects.

Re: [RELEASE] Shadow Genesis: 2017 Edition
I just beat "Burning Skies Over Aeon XII" and I've noticed two technical issues:

1-
On "Burning Skies over Aeon XII", the requirement for the achievement is to not lose more than one allied warship (aside from the Neya).

I achieved that.  I only lost one aside from the Neya (the Aephea, sorry I forgot the exact spelling right now).  However, I didn't get the achievement.  For what it's worth I officially also failed the secondary objective of "save 2/3 of the fleet".

I was able to successfully complete the mission but I should have got the achievement.  Could you look into this please?



2-
On the menu screen I think you accidentally put things there that were meant for Exile:
When you place the mouse over "Ready Room" it reads "Begin of continue your fight for the Syndicate".
When you place the mouse over "Exit" the caption reads "Exit Exile"
