Noted and updating now. I believe I might have found the cause for the crash in Mission 02 of chapter 2. It appears the is-goal-false has an additional line (true) that shouldn't be there. I would recommend re-donwloading the campiagn files, as I have fixed this bug now.

Nuts...even with the updated campaign files, it's still not letting me past mission 3.  I've gotten to the point where I think I can play it with my eyes closed. :p Guess I'll just resort to the old five-warpouts trick to get past it.  It wouldn't make much sense for 3.6.7 to be causing it, unless it made some changes as to how campaign files are read, and I can't see a reason why that change would have been made.

Ugh - not another one!

Spoiler:

Did a message hinting of subspace collapse pop up? If it didn't then something is amiss AGAIN. If it did then ill have to look at it through notepad again. x_x

ok.
Save this into your /missions folder as well as the new .fc2 file I just uploaded. It should work as planned now.

There should be no more bugs in the entire campiagn. Thank God!

Just another update:  I managed to get past mission 2 by jumping out 5 times, but once I finished mission 3, it started repeating itsefl as well.  Who knows; maybe there's some bug that just involves red-alert missions.  I'm trying out your latest .fc2 file, so hopefully that will finally solve things.  If not, it looks like I'll be doing a lot of jumping. :p

Edit:  Once I got past the red-alert missions, things started getting better, but now I have a new problem.  Whenever I jump out in the "deja-vu" mission (5, I believe), I receive a mission failure, even though everything went perfectly in said mission.  I guess I should have taken your warnings about not using 3.6.7 seriously. :p It would probably be a good idea to make a Mantis post linking to this thread, so that everything that's going on that can be attributed to 3.6.7 can be recognized and fixed.

Yep, it's hopeless. I tried a different build, deleted the backup missions, even put all the missions in the missions folder. I even tried flying as a bomber instead of a fighter for that mission with no change. Also, in that mission, there are quite a few instances when I fire my primaries at fighters or bombers and the shots go right through the ships without even hitting them. What the hell is wrong with this mission? Is it only happening to me and no other person who downloaded this? Please have a person on the board analyze that mission "Depth in the Abyss". there is nothing I can do now and I doubt creating a new pilot will have any affect because this problem is a mission problem.

I also notice that if the Julius goes down, my subspace drives activate themselves and I can't abort the jump. Is it set up so that for example, if the Julius' hull integrity goes below 30%, I can't proceed to the next mission even if it survives?

I have no choice now but to play each of the missions after this one by using the mission simulator :sigh:


I have this same problem

Yes, you'll need to redownload.

I think I updated the files before I left to M'sia, so do try them. The changes I made in notepad were to Mission 5, where the objectives weren't valid (again dont know why it didn't capture the change in Fred2 >_<). Everything should have been edited properly by now. Either way, if it still doesn't work, there is nothing that can be done till next weekend, when I can get back to my PC.

Mongoose: Problem has been fixed. just download the mission file in a few posts earlier, it fixes everything :)

Hudson: Avoid usage of 3.6.7, maybe redownload all the files again - especially the mission files. It's fixed a lot of bugs.

Depth_charge: Deep blood? Which campaign is that??


Anyways, the plans for Chapter 3 are all underway and FREdding will begin immediately once I get back to s'pore. Either way, I can promise a good experience next time around :)

I've discovered a little bug in FRED. Campaign files seem to be saved in Freespace2\Data\Missions regardless of where you try to save them.

Check that the reason FS2 isn't crapping up your campaign file isn't cause of that.

dammit, i'm getting the mission restart bug now. I'm using Goobers 7-28 build (don't say anything, it works perfectly for me :p).

A random question, Singh... do you have the complete versions of the songs used in part 2 missions 4 and 5? Or is it criminal to distribute those? :nervous:

Yes.

For the first; its two songs, actually. For the second, its one.

If you want both, drop me a PM and we can make some arrangements :)
