WELL.

That was ****ing awesome. Balls hard at time, but ****ing awesome. I... wow.

Spoiler:

were you able to properly connect to the nodes in the final mission? You should've gotten fairly lengthy in-engine cutscenes when you did.

WELL.

Spoiler:

MORE SPOILERS THAN YOU CAN SHAKE A STICK AT, DO NOT READ UNTIL COMPLETING ACT 3!!!

Spoiler:

The four nodes discussing the Shivans and their nature, before Bei interrupts you and Ken? Yeah, I did, and they were fantastic. I notice that it gels pretty well with theories about them that were tossed around in this very topic some time in our discussion after Act 1 and 2. Ken being Aken and the other NTF captives was also vindicating.

[General Battuta]

don't read that post!

[Ravenholme]

Yeah, seriously guys, that post is spoiler tagged for a reason!

[niffiwan]

gah - only played the 1st mission & I need more time to finish the campaign so I can read the spoilers!

One question has occurred to me though, and I guess I should spoiler it just in case...

Spoiler:

The Greek Cassandra was cursed so that no one would believe her visions of the future.  This CASSANDRA seems to be believed pretty well by the Feedayeen... so does that mean there's not a link between the two, or perhaps CASSANDRA is going to prove somewhat unreliable in future?

[TwentyPercentCooler]

I just finished the new WiH release. I have only three words:

Holy ******* ****.

I'm still trying to process all the elements of the story, so I should keep my mouth shut until I have, but I've gotta say that the mission design was just...un-freaking-believeable. I sometimes wonder if any of the original FS2 dev team looks at what's been done with the engine and marvels at it, because I sure as hell do.

Spoiler:

Watching the Vikrant, Toreador, and some Custos gunboats vaporize the Carthage and friends was immensely satisfying. Steele, you son of a whore, you're next.

[An4ximandros]

Damn it you guys, I had to stop playing the first mission because my bloody hands were shaking and I kept screwing everything up!

I have to say I like what I have seen so far, the Sidhe is awesome. Awesome Intro. Awe, Awe, Awe. Great work.

Also, totally called it:

Spoiler:

LAPORTE/SAMUEL DUEL, No Shivans, No Vishnans, No Feds or Tevs, Final Destination.

Spoiler:

I predict a subversion of the Cassandra myth, the predictions will become more and more erratic as more calculations need to be made.

[Nemesis6]

All the exe files of the new release hosted on fsmods.net seem to be corrupted... I get the following message: "The setup files are corrupted. Please obtain a new copy of the program."

[Useful Dave]

WELL.

That was ****ing awesome. Balls hard at time, but ****ing awesome. I... wow.

Gimme Act 4/5 already D:

Pretty much in agreement here, I've got to say that the writing felt especially Banks-esque at times, which for me at least was bloody brilliant. The extra 'nexus' addition made for an interesting path with the structuring too, as it lets the player choose just how much exposition they want to receive without having to risk skipping vital mission/setting info in the briefing sections.

[knossosfs2]

I just downloaded BP complete, and... it won't launch. I've attached a debug log.

[attachment deleted by a basterd]

[niffiwan]

I think something's wrong with your mod setup:

Code: [Select]

  -mod blueplanetcomplete\blueplanet2,blueplanet,mediavps_3612

From the next section of the log, nothing is being found in C:\Games\GOG.com\Freespace 2\blueplanet which means that FSO can't find any of the BP:AoA files. Maybe the mod line above should read:

Code: [Select]

  -mod blueplanetcomplete\blueplanet2,blueplanetcomplete\blueplanet,mediavps_3612


[knossosfs2]

Strange. I never messed with that. I'll try it and see if it works.

[knossosfs2]

By the way, how in the heck do I change that?

[General Battuta]

knossosfs2, it looks like you pointed the installer at FreeSpace2/blueplanetcomplete. Just point it at FreeSpace2. That's what caused your problem.

[General Battuta]

All the exe files of the new release hosted on fsmods.net seem to be corrupted... I get the following message: "The setup files are corrupted. Please obtain a new copy of the program."

Make sure your AVG isn't freaking out about them. That's what has caused this issue for a few other people.

[niffiwan]

It's usually set by the launcher & the mod.ini files.  Before you change anything, perhaps it'd be best to post a copy of these files:

blueplanetcomplete\blueplanet2\mod.ini
blueplanet\mod.ini (if it exists)
blueplanetcomplete\blueplanet\mod.ini (if it exists)

EDIT: scratch this and listen to Battuta instead (since he's on the BP team )

[knossosfs2]

Yeah I just saw that niffiwan, but thanks anyway. Battuta, you just saved the day! I might be back for more help because I know that I'm going to have performance issues...

[Leeko]

Sorry to interrupt the bug-related talk. This started as a stream of consciousness and turned into a full-on review of the whole damn thing so I spoilered the meat of it. Here goes!

Spoiler:

I didn't think the existing release of WiH could be topped. I cheered with joy as my hopes were raised and raised, and then slouched with my jaw agape when they were brutally stomped all over. I was immersed in a setting and its conflict, and I genuinely cared about the characters portrayed within. I even compared it to the emotional weight of Half-Life 2's second episode. But, WOW. My every expectation was exceeded. Those are the best Freespace missions I have ever played, probably - if I may be so bold - the best anyone's ever FREDed. Certainly the most complex. You folks have achieved things with Freespace that never dreamed of.

The between-missions hub? Absolutely brilliant. I was instantly floored. It provides tons of exposition in a form that's accessible to those who desire it without being intrusive to those who don't. The moral choices? Okay, the tens of thousands of lives I'm gambling with aren't real, but you made me CARE about them! The tower defense mission felt a little lacking somehow, and it seemed slightly out of place. I was also never able to place repair or EMP turrets, I've no idea why. But it certainly didn't detract from the campaign overall. It was a bit of a weak finish (in terms of combat) though, compared to the death/capture of the Carthage. The Custos was a real pleasure to fly, though I would have liked another mission at its helm. The three non-weapon primaries seemed like interesting concepts but I personally only used the one that makes you tankier, and only once during the battle for the Carthage. Having the versatility of both a shotgun and a sniper rifle was a more attractive option to me than repairs that aren't support ship dependent or extra ammo for secondaries (which I hardly ever use anyway). The new primaries were both fun and added another layer of newness to the gameplay - and this is something I REALLY want to stress.

Tenebra was a superb ride the whole way through because it was constantly new. No two missions repeated the same exact trick, like how in AoA I was like "welp looks like another frantic few minutes of beam disarming and trying to guess where the next bombers are going to warp in" just about every mission. It had an engaging story, but the repetitive missions were a bland framework for it. WiH Acts I-II escaped that very nicely, while still rooted in some traditional Freespace tropes, but was largely an all-around improvement. It got too talky at times, and didn't deliver its walls-of-text story as organically as one might hope, but at the time (before the hub!!) I chalked it up to a limitation of the game, and was thankful that it was delivered more through pre-briefing exposition than in-mission gabbing like AoA. This new act as a whole is such a radical departure from the old Freespace. It felt more like Mass Effect at times. It was surreal, it was exhilarating, it was terrifying and it was DEEP. The story finally got a HUGE payoff with much revelation, turning the entirety of AoA on its freaking head in a 35-minute acid trip from the mouth of hell that I enjoyed every second of. I'd bet someone's played Amnesia...

Oh and the way you guys neatly stitched other mods (Vassago's Dirge, Sync/Trenscend, others perhaps?) into this one's fiction... that gave me a hearty chuckle. You tread the line between cheesy and elegant, good sirs.

I hope my gushing feedback is of some use to the team, even if only in moral support.

Spoiler-free TL;DR -
This lone act of a community mod for an almost fourteen-year-old game moved me more than most triple-A titles ever do, and I can't emphasize that enough. There is quality work here produced from love and, I'm sure, immense labor, and it really shows. You jumped the shark and stuck the landing, and I'm giving you a standing ovation for it.

[Meneldil]

Another bug-related question: should new pilot files work across multiple campaigns?
Cause I used mine to play through few missions of AoA and then while playing Tenebra things started going really bad.
Navigating the main menu was becoming slower and slower, and it occasionally crashed the game claiming that, bizarrely, a 'malloc failed'. Now after the Custos mission I simply can't enter the mainhall any more.
Turns out, my bp2-p2.csg file is 363MB big, and I don't suppose it's supposed to be that way :|
