Oops! Forgot the link itself... :p

Here ya go: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,359.0.html

FS2.8 would be fine - I just wanted to avoid possible confusion. :)

And now that that's over, allow me to say that I can't wait to hear what Su has up his sleeves... ;7 I know it'll be awesome, dude! :yes:

Actually, sandwich, you might be able to find out my story sooner rather than later...IF you're willing to earn it. :)

At present I'm looking for FREDders/mission designers. (I'm going to need ship and weapon modders later on, but I have specific people in mind to ask, although if they are not available, I'll ask other people to volunteer.) I've made rough outlines of several missions in my campaign, but I'm not nearly as good with FRED as I would like. If you are proficient with FRED, then maybe you can create these missions for me; as payment, you would get a first look behind the scenes of my campaign story. You'd get to see why Lone is so excited about this campaign. :nod:

I daresay this is an equitable arrangement. :D

sandwich, you interested?

I would if I could, but I can't, so I won't. :wink:

Honestly, I can't afford the time it would take - sorry. I'll just have to wait with bated breath along with everyone else around here. :)

Fair enough. You're busy; I can appreciate that. :)

When I've got enough of a script ready, I'll make an announcement on the HLP, General Freespace and Freespace mModding boards for volunteers who want to work on my campaign. But that won't be for a while yet.

I wanna see what Lone has up his sleeve for that mpeg he promised me. If he can post that mpeg here on the HLP boards at the same time as my announcement, it might get people more fired up to volunteer to work with us. :nod:

MPEG's take quite a bit of time, especially when everything is from scratch. Ill work my hardest at it, but cannot give a timeframe. Although it will be done as quickly as possible, i cant give a date or even some kind of guess. God only know the problems i will run into.

Tell me that you're simply referring to a movie, not specifically the MPEG format, right? Cause DivX would be so much smaller... :nod:

Im talking creating the movie. MPEG is the smallest and highest quality format to work with when creating movies.

Lone, take as much time as you need, dude. I know this will take a long time, but you should have everything you need from me to create the movie. I'll wait as long as you need to complete the movie.

I know you'll impress me. :) :nod:

Someone loves DIVx hehe.

When its finished ill convert it to a few formats and give options to everyone. This way DIVx lovers and regular users have a choice. I mean who releases MPEGs of games anymore in only one format? Get with the times i say.

Most release it in AVI because there's no way to steal from it, MPEG is easy to gather clips from. I personally dont care if mine gets pieces stolen from it, Ill be honored they were good enough hehehe.

Anyways, im beginning the graphics work on this tomorrow (since ill be starting a new module in college, wont have as much work at school). Ill get with you Su-Tehp on my 3d creations and get your opinion on them as they will be the basis of the movie. I want them to be as acurate as possible........ill take this to email when ready.

Download an AVI and try to copy it.

Then try and open it in a movie editor and see if you can do anything with it. AVI is almost like flash, their are ways to break through the embedding to do what you wish with it, but the average user cannot copy an AVI file.

MPEGS however are a peice of cake.

:doubt: Ever hear of VirtualDub?? :rolleyes:

Ok, on second thought, you're right - the average user won't be able to work/alter/whatever an AVI - but then again, an average user wouldn't even think of trying to! :D

I use it for converting those ~450Mb MPEG Enterprise episodes into ~220Mb DivX AVIs so I can fit 3 per disc. :D

You can also edit them with Quicktime Pro, 30 bucks from apple ;)

Anywho, this is starting to sound less and less like a source code conevrsation, should I split the thread and toss it somewhere?
