January 2014 Screencap Contest
This month's theme: Rage!

It's 2014! That means a new screencap season! We're going to do things slightly differently this year. Our many campaigns are filled with emotional ups, downs, and/or lackthereof. So let's highlight that with a whole year's worth of emotional themes. I don't care what's in the image as long as it portrays the particular feeling for the month. And yes, February will be the month of love.

Re: January 2014 Screencap Contest
After many bugfixes, SCP finally got FRED to the state where it had zero errors. Unfortunately, FRED was not designed to operate without errors, and promptly ceased to function. The error is, in fact, that there is no error.

(Based on its size, that looks like the texture replacement window- everyone's having issues with the damn thing recently. Mine just does nothing when you press OK but I know at least one person on mantis has a crash)

Re: January 2014 Screencap Contest
The error is quite clearly that the error is the fact that there was an error due to an error with having an error resulting in the error not showing the error, thus making the error non-existent and thus errorless, which is an error.

The background is due to being zoomed in on a waypoint.

Re: January 2014 Screencap Contest
...Wait, really? The only time I failed that mission is when I intentionally abandoned the transports to see if I could intercept any of the Ares fighters before they reached the node (the answer: yes, but I only got one before the rest jumped out, and the Haulian exploded). I don't think I've ever had the drones do significant damage otherwise.

"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

<MageKing17> It was all working perfectly until I actually tried it on an actual mission.

<IronWorks> I am useful for FSO stuff again. This is a red-letter day!

<MageKing17> TIL the entire homing code is held up by shoestrings and duct tape, basically.

I did clear it after a few goes like the guy in the vid, he starts at Medium, but goes down to Very Easy to just get it out of the way, I don't know if I did the same. I might have done, I'll do that if I'm simply not having fun, and this mission certainly qualifies, it's mind-numbing. What made me give up is how hard the mission was and how badly FREDded it was. If the missions are that hard and frustrating that early going, and that standard of FREDding is anything to go by, I'm not going to bust my ass grinding through the rest of the campaign.

Or so I thought. I've watched that let's play since. I will be picking Derelict back up sometime I expect eventually, after the story and everything has faded from my memory since I've seen it now. That mission is a blip as far as both difficulty and quality go from what I've seen. Hell, Derelict would probably be better off it was ripped right out of the campaign completely.
