Re: The Darkest Dawn is Cleared for Launch
Jo the Cockpits are more in the WC4 Style. I already done a "Facelift" ^^ on one of the models:

WC Saga Version of the Yorktown. For me its more a Concordia Class (to much Bays)


to this:


The ladder is missing but more to the Yorktown in WC3 ;)

Now I need only the Gettysburg....
By the way - when do you release the FRED for Darkest Dawn???

Re: The Darkest Dawn is Cleared for Launch
Will the campaigns for the prologue release work with the new release?
Normal people believe that if it isn't broke, don't fix it. Engineers believe that if it isn't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet.
The difference between Mechanical Engineers and Civil Engineers is:
Mechanical Engineers build weapons.  Civil Engineers build targets
An optimist sees the glass half full; the pessimist sees it half empty. An engineer sees that the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

As an amusing aside, I first read the title of this thread without my glasses on and thought it said:

"The Darkest Dawn is Closed for Lunch"... :nervous:

The Prologue is already release with the Darkest Dawn. Go to the Campaign Manager in the Game and select the Prologue ;)

I think he refers to user-made third-party campaigns that were released before. Back when there was only WCS Prologue. Will those campaigns work now, with this release?

Is it, by the way, allowed to use your stuff for other mods like, uh, StormFront?

I hate to ask, but can someone put up a download for the "Disk0005.tiz" file?  I've downloaded the game twice and both times had a corrupted tiz file.

Re: The Darkest Dawn is Cleared for Launch
Do you have any tips
Spoiler:
on how to neutralize those skipper in the mission where you have to protect the Battleaxe ? Just after the autopilot sequence, I burn my After burner and use the glide mode so I can reach those Corvet. Sadly, when you got the signal of those skipper, they are too far from the corvet and I don't have enought time to intercept them before they cloak. I thought playing  in very easy will help, but no way.

You never posted whenever or not your post processing shaders work in Saga. I am not sure if we ever disabled post processing in the first place - it was giving us some trouble though...

Well, I put my settings.ini in the root of SAGA but none of the commandline work or I couldn't really check.
The post_process flag with all the .sdr files related and the post processing.tbl don't work (blur-f.sdr, brightpass-f, fxaa-f, etc...). The game still running with no error thought.

Do you plan in futur days/months to update the build so you can support those visual features since they already exist in current FSO Builds ?
And what about cockpit view ? :) Do you plan to released cockpit so we can have much enjoyment ? Because playing SAGA with a Track IR but with no cockpit, I lose some feedback on where I'm looking at.

Re: The Darkest Dawn is Cleared for Launch
Cockpits would be a great addition, every Wing Commander except WC4 had them.
As for build updates, once the source code is released, Saga features might end up incorporated into the trunk, so you'll be able to simply play with a normal build.

I doubt that. Saga adds tons of features/tweaks (for instance upgrades to the way cutscenes are handled, which is essential for the campaign to work). Unless the SCP team can be really bothered, I do not see it happening any time soon.

@Swantz: appreciated. Hit me really hard if I forget to update the release post tomorrow.

Re: The Darkest Dawn is Cleared for Launch
If they're indeed improvements, I'm sure they'll find their way into SCP somehow. Even if they break compatibility, there's always an option to include your SEXPs as either variants or behavior variations controlled by an additional parameter. SEXPs are the least difficult part of the code to edit. Of course, this would most likely require a patch for the campaign, but even if you won't make it, somebody will. Playing WCS with shadows and lightshafts (among other things) is just too good of a perspective.

Well given that the cutscene code was my work, I for one, would be interested in seeing what improvements you made to it.
