Listen up, nerds! Axem's decided to be a thick headed moron and keep withholding the next JAD, "until its perfect". Boloney! "Bugs", "Balance Issues", "Spelling Mistakes", such trivial matters on the galactic scale. I didn't hear anyone tell Bosch he couldn't have a Neo Terran Rebellion*, just because he needed his manifesto spell checked! That release date he gave was just to pretend that he was still working on it. That is why, in my infinite wisdom, I am releasing Just Another Day 2.21, as it is, right here, right now! Don't think that I'm doing this just because I am the award winning star of the campaign. It's the principle of the matter! The campaign must be released before it goes bad in the musky rotten basement that is Axem's hard drive.
You'll thank me later for this, Axem! I had to do what needed to be done, for JUSTICE.

Draft Release Post by: Axem
(http://lazymodders.fsmods.net/axemart/FreeSpace/Campaigns/JAD/JAD222/jad22bannerbig.png)
Just Another Day is a series of parody campaigns based on FreeSpace and other related Sci-Fi aspects. Just Another Day 1, 2 and 3 feature the unfazeable Alpha 1 and FRED, god of this universe as they fight for truth, justice and the proper way campaigns should be made. These campaigns can be played here! (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=71634.0)
The Just Another Day 2.2 Series takes place after JAD2, when FRED gets cast into another dimension, the method of which will be kept hidden so the campaign isn't totally spoiled! Without FRED, the Just Another Day Reference Bible is up for grabs, and the poor souls who Beta Tested the series want it for themselves.
Only one girl can save the universe from these suddenly appearing demigods, mysterious shadowy councils and internet in-jokes. And that girl is... 19th century English Computer Programmer Forerunner, Augusta Ada Lovelace! Or some ditz named Holley. Whoever's available.
That's right.
YOU
ARE
(NOT)
ALPHA 1!
This is totally different than all JADs before it!
- NO plotholes!
- NO copyright infringements!
- NO references to Disco Music!
- NO Alpha 1!
- NO God*! (* So said Nietzsche)
- NO unexpected twist ending!
- AND NO MORE!
(Please note, only one of those is a lie)
How can you possibly call this JAD? I'm altering continuity! I can do ANYTHING I WANT NOW.
Also there's a lot of anime references stuffed in here too. Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking either.
What you need to play:
* Any build past 3.6.14. 3.6.16 or newer should work just fine. (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=83577.0)
* MediaVPs 3.6.12 (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=70736.0)
* A Heart
Please extract the files into a folder called /JAD2-2/, start up your mod launcher of choice, select the mod, and go off and have fun!
Download link down for maintenance!
Link to the trailer so you know what you're getting into! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCpCKIzzWMY)
Known issues to be fixed in the next beta:
===
*Little known fact, the original title was the "Neon Terran Rebellion."
P.S. Axem, a publically accessible directory is a horrible spot to hide these things.
-
Mental note, do better job of hiding secret files next time.
-
No Holley! What have you done! He said it isn't ready yet. This is just mean... :(
-
What you need to play:
* Any nightly build past rev: 7776 (see this board) (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?board=173.0)
Aright, got this.
* MediaVPs 3.6.12 (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=70736.0)
Pfff, who hasnt got this by now?
* A Heart
Fffffuuuuuuuuu-
-
Bah, who needs a heart anyways? :P
-
Well, lets see how people like it anyway.
Just a note: It has been my experience that turning on the "Disable Vertical Sync" command flag will cause problems with camera fade in, subtitles and possibly some of the synchronized music events. Please have that command flag turned off.
-
But I like my 666 FPS
-
OMG, This is awesome, will play it tomorrow, = )
-
I'm not done with it yet but so far this is Triple-A Plus material. Would play again many more times.
-
As I expected from JAD, a mixture of laughter, regret, and "wtf?!"
-
When going on the taco errand, is there a way to tell how much you try to offer, as I've been having to try guessing the price by hitting the arrows once and clicking fire, repeating the steps---and suddenly the Anti-Shoplifting beams just fired at me, gonna try that again. I know I have all the HUD guages on since I checked before playing.

Depsite this issue I just managed to guess it right. :D
-
Sweet, bugs to fix tomorrow!
Remember, this is beta. So you can't complain about bugs! :p
-
This JAD sucks! There's no Alpha 1 in it, and no FRED!
...But somehow I still can't hate it. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY HEAD AXEM?!?!

Holey moley Holley Molley.....
One more reason to stalk you n_n

:shaking: That was weird...... Funny, but weird.
-
Awsum. The end of the world as we expect it.
BTW, what's the name of the track in the first mission?
****load of really nice ideas, Blue Planet and Wings of Dawn references and such. The only thing that was missing was a freighter mission....
*next mission*
What the hell? At firs I wanted to pay 100 credits. I went higher to 1000....2000....3000...and then I thought:"Dude, you're in an universe full of smexy Anime girls, ridiculous Beta Testers sitting in beam-spamming Seraphims, without Alpha 1 and you just released the ultimate Macross missile swarm in the last mission. It can't get more ridiculous."
So I wanted to pay 1 credit and....sort of.
-
Very cool so far, some of the most creative cutscene work I've seen. I like how almost every beta tester gets introduced as if they were from one of the bosses from the Zelda games.
I totally sucked in the race heh, Delta 1 is just too good/cool. Nice work with the hud on that one.
That scream from the menacing 'let's be friends!' boss... I know I'll revisit it in a nightmare soon. All the beta testers seem to come out as very creepy and obsessive about getting their point across... like monsters to be slain.
One thing I found very innovative about this campaign is the way you can swap fighters in the middle of the battle. I'll have to look at how you do this. It opens the door for doing very innovative FPRTS gameplay. Lead in a bomber strike and switch to a fighter to clean up. Command a capital ship and switch to a scout to launch tags. It would allow the player to command battles better... I... just ..like it!
Just one thing...
Is the mission with the seventh beta tester uh... beatable? It seems to end right before Epsilon 1 can crash into it. I must have tried 5 times now. Maybe I don't get it or I'm doing something wrong.
Overall very colorful, musical, and atmospheric. Good time all around.
-
:shaking: That was weird...... Funny, but weird.
She's a twenty-three year old lifeguard who plays FreeSpace. Axem pm'd me the Int. The cute girl act is a bonus.

I don't understand. I was talking about the campaign. What are you talking about?
Beta Tester 7 is definitely beatable. It took me four tries, but it's possible. Just firel as soon as you're in control of Epsilon1.
-
Disregard my last post.
Downloaded. Will play when i'm back in.
Looking forward to the new protageny.

It looks good, but this bug (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=77314.0) is just unacceptable now.

Downloaded it, played it and enjoyed it greatly. And I wholeheartedly agree with bigchunk1 about the innovative stuff.
This was most Axesome! :nod:

Kay, so I had a look at this. I thought it was something to do with your weird 1024x640 res. However I played in that res and got the popup. Were you playing with the latest nightly?

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. WHY MUST IT END LIKE THAT ARGLBLSKJFELSKJFLESJLSGRLSGRGHGHGHGGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHHGGHG . I WANT THE WHOLE STORY. AXEM WENT ALL BP ON US AND NOW WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR MORE!
Very funny campaign. I really liked the switching between fighters in mission.
I noticed we never see the first and second beta testers. DUN DUN DUN.
-
Awsum. The end of the world as we expect it.
BTW, what's the name of the track in the first mission?
It's called "In The Beginning" from the Rebuild of Evangelion 2 soundtrack.
Also once you're all done playing, be sure to check out the intel section for more WORDS and nifty animations mjn made. :)
-
Hmm. Could you tell me if the mission is buggy or not ? the one with the Race.
After I gestroyed the Green and the Blue Core, I don't have anything to kill the Red one. Then, a little cutscene appears and I'm on the debriefing, but I can't go to the next mission. When I try to replay the mission, there is no way to change weapons.

Gotta wait til tomorrow for this now :(

How strange. Maybe somehow you're not hitting the pass condition. I'd just try the mission again and see if you can make it through.
Killing the red core comes in the next mission. :)

It's at that resolution because of image compression, I actually play at 1920 x 1200, and yeah I played on the latest Nightly.

Could you tell me those conditions ? That's totally weird. I was in the first place during the race, I destroyed the 2 core without Holley or Delta 1 being killed, and I got the final cutscene.
I think, I have to redo the mission 3 more time to skip this one.

Commander Zane: Try playing on a smaller resolution. The hud gauge file has a max res of just 1920x1080, so yours is too high. :p Or if you feel lucky, extract the hud gauge file and modify the max to be your res.
Metal Destroyer: I had a look around. It seems that the mission pass needs the event Fade Out to be complete. The issue is that there are actually two Fade Out events in the mission. The fade out I was aiming for is supposed to trigger as the screen fades out before the mission ends. The other fade out is during the long conversation before the race.

Try this campaign file and see if the problem goes away.

Official Wizard Review:
Short Version: Awesome
Long Version: Awesoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooome
No really, half of the things in this I didn't even know you could do in this engine. The race for example or this character switching. THE TACO BUYING RECETTEAR STYLE! Incredible.
Mission Design was fun, concise and incredibly innovative. BOSS BATTLES WITH PATTERNS IN MY FREESPACE? Its more likely than you think!
Very funny Briefing dialogues and i found the use of the Briefing display as thought bubbles for the characters a very cool idea.
All in all a very enjoyable experience although a little short, waiting excited for the sequel.
-
Aah yes, you can beat it. I was just being silly... didn't know that I was playing as Epsilon1.
WTF?! a cliffhanger?!
I! WANT! TO! SHOOT! STUFF! - QueenHolley
Also was there any mention of Beta1?
-
Incredibly creative and a must-play.
Every single mission is utterly amazing. From the cool-as-**** turn of the Asiago in the second mission, to the mind-bending ship changing in the last mission. A true show of fredding proficiency. You, my dear Sir, are awesome.
The writing, the characters, the fredding, the colours. All beautiful. Oh, and beams. Lots of those as well. The jokes were quite good as well; some even made me pause the game so I don't miss anything :lol: The tech entries were also a good read, lots of good content there too. The Steele entry was very informative.
That said, there are a couple of things I didn't quite like :p
There's a couple of situations where dialogue comes up at awkward times, most of the times during dogfights. I think some of the messages didn't come with an emptymsg.ogg, so they were easy to miss. Also, in the last mission, Epsilon 1 appears out of the blue without any sort of announcement, making the shot very hard to make, which caused me to replay the mission a couple of times.
Still, it's an absolutely amazing campaign and you just made this week so much better for me. Thank you, good sir.
-
I usually have low expectations for joke campaigns, but this one was masterfully crafted. I really enjoyed it.
-
just finished it.
haha
ha
hahaha
good work, I loved it... and nice cutscenes, you did an awesome job with those :yes:
-
Liked a lot so much, and I thinked the cutscenes in blue planet was awesome, you rise the level of awesomeness, I almost finish it, and I had one mission that crashed after I make the final shoot to that magic wand( cant remember the name), I have to change to the most nightly the 7767 and it worked, but AWESOME campaign
-
I hereby demand an entry for Terran Frakking Command on the fiction viewer.
-
Had a bit of free time yesterday, gave this a quick run through. Excellent cutscene and mission work Axem, and the dialogue had me laughing often enough that I failed more than one mission unceremoniously due to not paying attention. That qualifies as a successful joke campaign in my book.
-
Lols this was awesome. Just sheer ridiculousity from beginning to end. Especially the camera work, and I liked how
all the ships turn to face Delta 1 'cuz he's the hot ****.
A rather interesting way of giving ships personality, and it worked excellently.
Though I did find one thing irritating:
Mission 5 - A Step Into First Place, I whooped Delta 1's ass in the race (on the order of a kilometer) and even though I had won the race, that objective was marked false and I couldn't continue.
But that's the only thing wrong with it. Everything else is A+ lols work.
-
i beat this campaign it's hard to play
even on very easy it's hard to play
ive completed all the missions
cant wait for next episode i hope it's cames fast
i have completed too fast
i like the idea to build more missions it give me challenge to complete them all
for episode 1
i missing first 2 beta testers to kill
for the rest good job and well done

Is a very colorful campaign, have a repertory of new and interesting gauges, hope to see them in wih r2

good work axem

I'm wondering... how many of you people have seen Rebuild of Evangelion? I've only played the first two missions so far, and... well, yeah. Well played Axem.
Now that said... in the second mission I got some really weird graphics issues: long-distance models were ridiculously low-quality, and the textures/glowmaps on some of the fighters, especially the Shivans, were blurred. Is this intentional on JAD's part, or is something up with my system?
EDIT: Oh, and Axem... where did you find the Angel sound effects? :eek:
-
I haven't watched it because the series isn't done.
But just watching the original evangelion is pretty much enough to appreciate it.

Hey,
any Linux build which is known to work? Build 7355-INF lets me in but crashes when I click "Play", and the regular Inferno crashes immediately.
Ubuntu 10.04 32 bit
[attachment deleted by ninja]

On linux, I've been told it's safer to compile the builds yourself. The wiki provides a walkthrough for that.
But the real issue is : READ THE INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS
You said 7355 ?
I read :
Any nightly build past rev: 7776 (see this board) (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?board=173.0)
-
Loving the campaign so far Axem; Been laughing almost all the way through! Sadly, i'm having a strange issue with Mission 04 (See Spoiler) where i seem to automatically fail the mission. Is there something i'm missing here?
The mission where you first encounter the server Beta Tester with the three colored escorts. I get all the way through up to the retreat, and the debriefing makes no mention of any failiure or has any recommendations; just that i should prepare for future fights while they try to find a red weapon. I tried everything i could think of (even tried kamikazieing Delta 1 into the red ship!)
EDIT: Just saw fix in earlier post. Sorry, my fault for not checking.

Well, you won the campaign! I'm sure the challenge made it very worthwhile! I'm going to make sure Axem keeps on making more missions, it was totally rude for him to end the campaign where he did!
-
Best campaign I've played since the previous JADs.
-
/me has died of laughter. As a result, he is unable to express just how awesome this campaign was.
Ghost of Dark Hunter: (Axem! Angel noises! Where did you get them!? I must know!)
-
I ripped them from the movies! The huge beam one was easy to do, there were scenes where Ramiel was just firing without any music in the background. But the more common beam sound I used was more tricky since music starts to play at the very end. If you listen carefully, you can hear a chord being played at the end. I thought it was cool and didn't do anything to remove it.
(On watching Rebuild 2, the same sound is used for when you-know-who descends upon everyone at the very end with little background noise. But I had my sounds set at that point)
Spoon also gave me a pack of sounds from an Eva Playstation game. Mostly grunts and stuff. Real weird. I am have to use them later at some point. :drevil:

No need to write in 42pt letters :D

-
This is a quality campaign. Lots of creative and innovative uses of SCP features, cool music, lulzy characters, anime and HLP references errywhere. Axem proves once again that he is king of cutscenes.
Also, spam "G" in the credits mission to get the best ending song EVAR! If you know what it's from then you are awesome and you should feel awesome.
-
Variable credits music! :eek2:
Okay, that is cool. Nice selection of songs, Axem.

Other than the disappearing music, this stuff is sweeeeeet.
The way the villain in the last and final serious mission shows the player the proverbial finger takes the cake.

To override the credits to be nyancat press 3 before they start. A :3 should appear in the lower right. I have an ED theme cheat sheet somewhere. When I find it again I'll post it up.

Small note: Updated files have been uploaded to correct a crash that can occur with newer builds. People with the campaign should just need the Patch2 file. The OVA includes the patched file, so you don't need the patch if you have that.

In a weird incident involving an asteroid, Godzilla, a very angry little girl wearing a quite revealing duck costume and a banana on the floor my JAD 2.21 folder got deleted, and the link to download it again 404s.
Forsooth I require a mirror! And to analize the incident. But this takes priority!
-
The problem has been found and corrected.
The problem being Axem doesn't know where to upload the files and change the links.

Facebook Wall spammed. I forgot to mention there that JAD2.21 is required; that's a simple exercise for the curious who reach here through that post. :P

Um, double post and all, but there's one minor issue I've noticed during the cutscenes, the ETS gauge still appears. To reproduce, just start mission 6 from the tech room.
I had a look at the mission file, and I guess it's because "axemdisable hud except messages" does not disable Ets Retail (damn that new gauge! :nervous:). But there's also disable-hud-except-messages used with an if-then-else, umm... so not sure why that sexp wasn't used by itself as it should stop Ets Retail from appearing. Maybe just set "axemHack" to 0? :)
-
Well that's a bunch of silly things that are working together to annoy you.
First is me wanting headanis during cutscenes. If you go hud-disable-cutscene-except-messages in a normal fighter view, you get headanis. If you're in cutscene camera mode, you won't. I talked to SCP about it and no one could figure out why, and release time was getting closer. So I made a horrible "axemhack" where when a cutscene starts, I manually disable every gauge EXCEPT messages and talkinghead.
But then *somebody* added this ETS Retail Gauge, and that wasn't accounted for in the sexp because I had already released. ;)
For JAD2.22 there is a fix of sorts. A game setting table now has the option to not to disable the hud in cutscenes, which allows disable-hud-except-cutscenes in cutscene mode.
I don't know why, but it just works.
-
Cool & thanks, it's good to get some context/background around what can seem like unrelated bug reports on mantis :)
-
I finally relented and fixed the ETS gauge appearing in cutscenes. It was looking real dumb and I don't know when the next time I'll be releasing.
Links updated, if you've already downloaded it just grab patch 3!
-
Played this campaign a while ago and just wanted to say this Evangelion X HLP theme is hilarious! Keep fighting the good fight, don't let psychological issues get the better of you and watch out for SEELE!

Surely you mean STEELE.
