Re: RELEASE - Ghost Revenants
Actually, I think Lobo you should just go ahead and do the final act. Would save time. Jake seems to have lost intrest.

Once again I was out of town.
Proofing should be done soon (tonight or tomorrow morning)

BTW: Griffon, on that mission, this is what happens:
Spoiler:
Mission starts with generation heading toward planet, and the religion follows.
a couple of Shivan wings jump in, and are easily destroyed.
a shivan cargo with a hud disabling device jumps in
i destroy the device and hud is back online
generation stops, nothing happens for a few minutes
more shivans jump in and attack the religion
after about a minute, the game slows down,
about 20 seconds later (maybe less) the game resumes normal speed, and the religion and generation are gone
there is a line abut they are down on the planet and to follow them, but i get no instructions or directives
after I destroy all the shivans, nothing happens, i can fly around for forever

Re: RELEASE - Ghost Revenants
I just finished this.  Good storyline, not as good as Transcend or Sync but definitely awesome for your first campaign.  Sadly I didn't figure out that I needed to add the stars.tbl for lsneb until 3/4 through the campaign.  From the ending it would appear that there is going to be a sequel, confirmation?

Re: RELEASE - Ghost Revenants
a sequel ? wel it'll depend on how many people are interested in a sequel.
that's true I already imagined many sequels possible, but I though this campaign wouldn't be apreciated ant then didn't think about a sequel.

I'll finish the bugs and grammart mistakes in this campaign before planning a sequel.

Re: RELEASE - Ghost Revenants
it's a good campaign, nice story behind but all those new fighters got me really dizzy... I didn't have the chance to get to know any of them...I guess the variety of choice got me overwelmed and I couldnt get to love 1 of them... maybe alves... but still don't feel like Im using the right one for me.

Anyway great campaign my congrats! :D

Re: RELEASE - Ghost Revenants
the Phoenix was my favorite.
The Gatling owns.

 
Re: RELEASE - Ghost Revenants
I also loved the phoenix, because of the gatling too. But the fact it's ballistic made me fire only when I was sure it would hit.
for this I sometimes prefer the Alves with 8 beamers, it's quite a firepower but don't last long.

I wondered what you poeple though of the weapon beamer ? and the gauss one ? (see skirmish mission "unknown fact" for thos who didn't tried it yet)

Re: RELEASE - Ghost Revenants
I sent the edited missions/tables to griffon just now, so I guess you guys can expect a release soon.

Re: RELEASE - Ghost Revenants
For the record, whenever possible, I used the Phoenix with paired Gattlings. I might miss, but 2k rounds is a lot of lead to chew through.

Same results here.  Helped me to get like 50 kills on each of those missions.  Even after that I usually had 500 rounds on each bank.

Re: RELEASE - Ghost Revenants
I have liked this campaign a lot so far.

Indeed there's quite a lot of problems with the grammar mistakes, most are in the mission titles, they are still in french (unless it's on purpose).

i had a CTD with the mission "Operation dangereuse" but i think it was due playing it with 3.6.10, when i used 3.6.9 i had no problems to play it, just one little thing:
Spoiler:
i suppose being unable to move at first is normal for the mission, and if so, i could still use my afterburners to move, if so, you should check on that
Signed, me

Well, I ain't touching them, since my French is limited to "Voulez-Vous Vichyssoise".

Re: RELEASE - Ghost Revenants
The french mission titles are on purpose right =)
This is a way to remind the player that this is a campaign created by a french guy  :D

I'm fixing 2-3 things before releasing the version with poofreading. Maybe I'll also add skirmish missions but it'll depend on how much time I take to make a mission.

edit : just to explain myself about using "him" instead of "it" for a ship. I don't know why even in french I would use "lui" (him) instead of "ça" (it) to design a ship. Lobo and Jake fixed it so it's no longer a problem ^^

Trust me. It sounds a bit awkward. I'd understand if an old, emotional captain of a capital ship used "her" and the other forms when addressing the ship he has been in command of for several decades. Something like "Oh, she's saved us from trouble more than once. A fine lass, that is."  But him... that's... well, wierd.

Re: RELEASE - Ghost Revenants
maybe it's just some french way of saying it, because what you said can be applied to the french "it" when calling ships.
In the mod it'll be "it" anyway  :).

 
Re: RELEASE - Ghost Revenants
I know that in German, it has multiple genders, which are the same word as he, she.  EX. he = er, masculine it = er.  So the whole him thing didn't surprise me that much.
It just sounds awkward in English, because we are not used to it.

Re: RELEASE - Ghost Revenants
... Which reminds me of the Simpsons. Again.

- "Uh, Mrs. Simpson, I killed my pencil."
- "Broke. You broke your pencil."
- "I... broke him."

Srsly, though. I, too, wasn't that surprised. Just that it sounded awkward. And that is why we were doing the proofreading. So that we could find these awkward phrases and replace them with ones that fit in better with the English linguistics.

Re: RELEASE - Ghost Revenants
in English a ship isn't a person that's why "it" is used instead of "him". "him" is used when we think of the ship AS a person, which isn't the case in the mod =)
