I also had the Damocles destroyed (from 85%) by a drifting hunk of debris. I think that Asdherian ships needs a remodel, with smaller chunks.

Overall, very nice, although I was underwhelmed by the Shivans arriving... particularly being able to wipe out waves of capital ships like that. In FS1, they were untargetable, had impenetrable shields, and it was quite a while before you had the opportunity to destroy any Shivan warships. This makes it look too easy.

Good job on the cutscenes and CB Anis. Going the extra mile means a lot.

Looking forward to the next act... maybe with real weapon art this time?

In that sense, am I right to say that the definition of enemies that "don't die" means "surprise spam attack"?

The only problem I can think of, really, is that the Shivans aren't using any sort of smart methods (like FS1's Pandora's Box) against the Ancients, instead resorting to the classic method of spamming, but that's just minor nitpicking, really.

The "don't die" bit will appear in the next act. Not all of the Shivans can be unkillable, since that kind of war would hardly be worth making a mod about

Bah, we would, if only we could get some modelers...

Kinda like the start of FS2?

With words like that, you're obviously an Ancient.

[MatthTheGeek]

Now I think about it, it sounds odd that we are able to target them at the beginning. It would be better that we can do it only from the second shivan mission or so.

About the Shivan "too easy to kill", I think it's part of the plot. The Ancient need some early victories to comfort them in their overconfidence, before being crushed back.

It also fits in with the ancients monologue in FS1 "At first they were like the other...".
And while a campaign in which you pretty much only loose can still be good (TBP Earth-Minbari war demo for example) I think that will only work for short campaigns.

[Jeff Vader]

Hmm. I spotted the Omega systems ambient track from Freelancer in the first mission.

Edit: I'm also stealing those warp effects for personal usage.

[Commander Zane]

I noticed the Omega music too, I think the Tau or Omicron music would fit the atmosphere of the Ancients more.

[Marcov]

The same thing happened to me with Blue Planet, but not with the Procyon Insurgency.

"64 error messages have generated during startup...blahblahblah"

then instead of loading on to the main screen, everything is black instead. And when I click anywhere the game says "exit Freespace 2?"

Also, whenever I try to open the debug build this message box opens:


Then I click OK, this appears:


So in other words, I can't get campaigns to work

That error message probably means that your install is probably corrupted. If you have run the debug build, please post the fs2_open.log from your data folder. And please do so in your very own thread in the Support board, created from your very own and highly misplaced post in Celebration of FS.

It's the Sigma systems ambient music. You haven't played enough Freelancer.

[Jeff Vader]

What The E said. We're here tp help etc, but asking about (partially) ASW-related problems in A Celebration of FreeSpace is like trying to purchase men's suits from a McDonald's.

Omega. Don't make me reinstall Freelancer and Fraps up a video just to prove the point. Srsly. I'm on holiday.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Let me check ... I might be wrong there...

* Androgeos Exeunt loads up MajaExpress085.jar and exports an OGG file.

* Androgeos Exeunt opens Audacity.

Right, my bad. I should be the one playing more Freelancer.

* Androgeos Exeunt re-installs Freelancer.

[NGTM-1R]

I am annoyed with you for managing to extra the Freelancer sound files when I only got it to work once.

[Killer Whale]

IMHO, when asked "what campaigns should I play?" the answer shall be "Blue Planet, Derelict, Ancient-Shivan War Act I, Transcend and Silent Threat: Reborn"

[Colonol Dekker]

Right, i played through it, but what are the animated glowmaps for? Because i could only see shivan ones.. Also the interface didn't work. I had to pess "ok" when the error popped up.


VPS are all in the ASW folder, not fs2/data pr asw/data.

No, I think I installed it properly (It even exceeded the said size at 217 Mb). But why does this happen? The same thing happened with Blue Planet.

[The E]

Marcov: For the last time, go to this thread: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=67269.0 , give us a log, and let's see if everything really is as it should be.

[General Battuta]

Marcov. Use your damn support thread. It's linked right there!

[Colonol Dekker]

What about my interface problem?

[Jeff Vader]

That's what she said. Many have said that. Now please go to the thread to which The E has provided a link and post your fs2_open.log there.

What about my interface problem?

Your fs2_open.log couldn't hurt either.
