Or a simple black texture, displayed via show-subtitle-image, and stretched all over the screen...

I came from chasing dreams to feel alone
There must be changes, miss to feel strong
I really need lifе to touch me

Make a single flat plane.pof with a black texture with no bump or glow.......
 
:nervous:

Or create a large image in gimp, pure black at a resolution with 1600*1200 and use the show-subtitle-image SEXP.

EDIT: The_E was faster. Secret Ninja powers ftw...

Re: A Noob's release - Dreams Demo
I use 1080p. Some of the background would show through on the sides.

Unless you can specify an image size as a percent instead of a resolution, using a black image is not an ideal solution. There will eventually be a resolution that is bigger than it. The ideal solution, of course, would be to make an option for subtitles/subtitle images appearing on top of fade-out.

Re: A Noob's release - Dreams Demo
Played through.. it's an interesting concept, no problems detected, good work.

Only complain: Add starfield.pof to your next released missions.... or else.


(If you want to know how to add the starfield check the wiki, if you search for starfield you'll find some info about it)

Re: A Noob's release - Dreams Demo
I liked it, interesting ideas. :yes:
I lol'd about that prank you pulled with the Erinyes  :p
Not killing hercs with 8 subachs is suprisingly hard though, I had to redo that mission a few times because of it.
And like the others already said, yes, add Starfield.pof next time please. A few nebula's with retail stars does not really make for interesting backgrounds

So, when can we expect tne next missions? I'm interested in seeing what is going to happen next.
Urutorahappī!!

[02:42] <@Axem> spoon somethings wrong
[02:42] <@Axem> critically wrong
[02:42] <@Axem> im happy with these missions now
[02:44] <@Axem> well
[02:44] <@Axem> with 2 of them

 
Re: A Noob's release - Dreams Demo
Yes me too...
Very interesting concept.

Playing on FSO 3.6.12 + Furys Special effects mod (bp-3612-sfx.vp)
No Problems. Very funny Missions :)

For a Noob as you say: i must say very impressive work !!!
The Cutszene at the end was great. Like an old pro. *Respect*

Greetings Peter

This sounds so obvious that I feel a little silly saying it, but have you tried only firing four of them?

In a while; I've exams coming up. Which is shame, as I'm quite curious what's going to happen next too (I only have very murky ideas at the moment). After exams I ought to have more time to push out more missions. Probably have to be in installments like this one, in the hope of a little encouragement to keep me going (and murky ideas + possibility of losing initial enthusiasm for project = no idea how many missions it might end up being). If there's interest then that is certainly heartening though.

And yes; starfield.pof will be used hereon in.
And I'm also going to ignore the black screen issue for the time being (I understood the gist, but nothing more of the advice received so far) in the hope that if I don't think about the problem, it'll somehow be alright. A bit like the environment.


Oh, and thanks to all of you who've commented/assisted in any way. It really is appreciated.

Re: A Noob's release - Dreams Demo
I played the campaign extensively and I have to say it is quite good. The story and gameplay feel as innovative as any of the larger campaigns/mods I have played. The missions are well balanced, at least for my tastes. The structure is well thought out and introduces such a thought provoking concept in an interesting way. Also has somewhat of a philosophical edge to it. For its size, I felt it was definitely worth a look. I was prettymuch entertained throughout.

I must admit though I have not yet gotten a chance to play mission 5 because I am still on SCP version 3.6.10.

haha, yeah I picked the Loki too.

Re: A Noob's release - Dreams Demo
I've tried with the Erineyes, just to give myself a challenge. Problem is, even when switching to single bank, the Hercs are simply to weak to be damaged without being killed, both in Medium and Hard.
People are stupid, therefore anything popular is at best suspicious.
