Having some trouble here, It's not reading the pof files from FSP (yes I have the correct directory typed into the .ini)

I just finished it. A very enjoyable campaign. :)

That cap maps thing does fix the holes in the bastion I was getting.

I was tired waiting for Inferno release (well it was first reason why I registered in HLP....years ago :)  ), so I went into silent watch mode. I went active when I found that there are few new campaigns (like BP).

Anyway does anyone have a fix for error with Anubis mk.2 ? Or is it only FRED error? I just started the campaign so I don't know if Anubis mk.2 cause CTD in actual game.

Re: RELEASE: What If - Another Great War
Has it been fixed enough for me to bother downloading it or are there still serious bugs in it?

Well, there are still a few bugs, but it's now working well enough for you to play it and not have any real problems.

Re: RELEASE: What If - Another Great War
FRED say that it can't open "fighter02.pof" when I try to place Anubis mk.2.

However if Anubis mk.2 isn't used in campaign (then why would it be added) the it isn't a big issue. I dunno I'm barely after "playing judas" misson.

 
Re: RELEASE: What If - Another Great War
Here works alle fine... Me now in ACT II and no problems.
I using the 20080911 build and latest Mediavps.

Its a fine Campain with moderate difficulty - very enjoyable.
and the Missions better als orginal FS1.

Very impressive work !!!!!

Re: RELEASE: What If - Another Great War
When you put files in the data folder, it takes priority over any other locations that have certain files. So if it is in the data folder, it will be read in that location first, I think. Must be a problem with the way SF-Junky packages the files in vps, making it so the pofs in the vp aren't being read at all. It seems that this problem only occurs with his campaigns, so it must be the way he is packaging them.
I can't immagine what to do wrong about that. Put the files into a folder, enter the folder's name into VPMake.exe, hit execute, enter name of the vp, hit execute a second time, and finish.

That's odd, indeed, since the Anuibs Mk II does use the same .pof as the Anubis. It is just a table mod.

I am really sorry for all those bugs. :( Next time I'll be smarter and ask a for a few playtesters before releasing the thing.

To all those who didn't have problems and enjoyed What If: Thank's for you positive feedback. Glad that at least a few people could enjoy the campaign.

Actually, if I'm not totally mistaken here:
- active mod folders override \freespace2\
- \modname\data overrides vps in \modname\
- \freespace2\data overrides vps in \freespace2\.

So, if a mod is released in a vp, the vp is placed to a mod folder and the mod folder is selected with the Launcher (or with command lines), it will be read properly.

Re: RELEASE: What If - Another Great War
(Very) small glitch at the level just after the capture of the Taranis (which is Insane in Insane difficulty :p) When the first wingShivans jump in to destroy the human vessel (I didn't have the time to check whether it was a Cruiser or a Transport), you've got some (impossible) instruction to destroy them, but instead of "Destroy Wing" you just have the name of the wing.

Apart from this - perfect. Completed this escort level in Insane in two tries, but finished with 1%. (Took me 20 + tries for the Taranis, though).

 
Re: RELEASE: What If - Another Great War
Hello SF-Junky,
Now i found a little Bug in your very fine Campain: After the destruction of the Galatea comes a Render Video - after them a screen shows a planet (eg. Vasuda prime ?) then screen chance in 16:9 Mode and back to 4:3 - no Text appears. I think this will be say: Act III - but nothing to read.

I use the 20080911 Build + 3.6.10 Mediavps
Windows XP
Athlon 64 3200+
ATI Radeon x800Pro
1 Gig Ram

I hope this Information was helpfully.

Greetings Peter

Re: RELEASE: What If - Another Great War
Hey there SF,

thank you for the mod! It was pretty good :)

I found one flaw though:
Spoiler:
At the last mission, you need to destroy reactor 5 all by yourself - as the Ursas just randomly wander in space after finishing their orders.

 
Re: RELEASE: What If - Another Great War
Understandable you need 3.6.10, i tried 3.6.9 and it broke into errors as soon as i went to the tech room to view the Angel, but is there any way to get around that? I checked out the thread on 3.6.10 and it looks like its still full of bugs and in the working stages so im hesitant to get it  :shaking:

Re: RELEASE: What If - Another Great War
I spotted a new glitch.

There is no debriefing in the "capture a dragon" mission if you exit after having capture the transport and destroyed the Cain, but before engaging the enemy convoy.
Basically, I was in a very sorry state when I finished the Cain, and thought the mission was over. As soon as I so there was more people coming, I evac'ed. Mission success, but no briefing.

In Insane, your wingmen get shot down in the first minut, whatever you do. Additional renforcement, two crafts, to deal with the Shivan renforcement would be nice
