Phantoms: In 2335, the GTD Amadeus moves to block the PVD Temperance from entering Antares, unaware of the imminent arrival of 'Phantom ships'
Echo-Gate: Shortly after the destruction of the Lucifer, the GTD Minnow is dispatched to Beta Cygni to clear up a lingering Shivan presence

While playing through Blaise Russel's campaigns Phantoms & Echo-Gate I realized that for some reason, the last mission in Phantoms isn't voice acted. I have added the few missing lines and added skyboxes to all the missions.
Go and play those 2 classic campaigns, undeservedly, they are among the forgotten and seldom played ones, despite being of very high quality!
for those campaings, the freespace port is required

You need to clean these up a little before you release them. Remove the mission backup files from the missions folder and the settings file from the mod folder. Also you have models for 3 nebula boxes but only have maps to support one model.

Oh goodie, a Blaise Russell campaign updated. Congratulations on the release!

Nice job, I always enjoy playing these two and the Shrouding the Light campaigns. I noticed that starfield in the upgraded Pandora's Box. Is that starfield POF slated for the new mediavps, or is it just becoming the FSCRP standard?
-
Minor gripe -- The mod.ini links Fsport-mediavps. It should be Fsport_mediavps.
-
@Nemesis: could it be that you are using an outdated fsport? i'm pretty sure the latest release uses "-" instand of "_" by default, but i might be wrong
@Solatar: I was planning to use that starfield as a standard for my campaign revamps, but as i'm not completely happy with it i will probably use a better and less characteristic one in the future
but i felt it is good enough to spice up the rather empty backrounds in those two campaigns a bit
@Macfie: Guess i really should have removed the unused models, and ooops for the settings file, that one was an oversight
-
I remember playing both of these campaigns. Great classics!
Just wondering, how do we know which campaigns FSCRP is updating currently? I feel like if I had known that some campaigns were going to be released, I'd give voice acting a try as long as it didn't delay the release.

pandoras box has been lying around in a near finished state for ages, and the two campaings in here i did spontanously and took no longer than 2 days to restore
currently i am doing final balancing on lightning marshal - i don't think there are plans in the project to work on any further campaigns right now - if some get started any help with voice acting would of course be great :nod:

Minor gripe -- The mod.ini links Fsport-mediavps. It should be Fsport_mediavps.
This is incorrect. The correct name is fsport-mediavps, as it has always been. Unfortunately, this is one typo that has propagated far more widely, and lasted much longer, than it should have.
-
There's a good reason for why the typo has propagated as widely and as long as it did.
At a certain point in time the launcher would choke on hyphens in mod paths as it would believe they were command line flags, and using fsport_mediavps would actually fix the problem.
-
That's true, I remember that now. I rushed out a Launcher fix as soon as I heard about the problem, but that would explain why the wrong instructions stuck around as long as they did.

The backgrounds and supplementary voice files from this version have been added to the version currently on Knossos and the FSO Installer.
