Question.

Spoiler:

When the battlegroup reappears, Command says that the battlegroup had been lost for "several days." Why didn't Command send in additional ships? Wouldn't it be very probable from Command's point of view that the Orestes battlegroup had been destroyed by the United Earth forces?

I hear that. The Raynor on ITHOV looked... well, terrible, once I had seen the Raynor Darius apparently used as the base for the model in his campaign. I had to get the entire Stratcomm's fleet pack and start fiddling around so that I got ITHOV using the purdier version. Then, it was once again cool. Yeah.

Would you mind making this modification to ITHOV public?

Umm... that may take a while. I haven't tried creating vps ever, so basically I could just extract the HTL Raynor from somewhere and then tell you where to put it and so forth.

It doesn't need to be in a .vp.

Jeff Vader · **Reply #285 on:** October 28, 2007, 07:27:38 am

I know. It just would be easier to say 'put this vp in your ITHOV folder', instead of saying 'put the files a,b,c,d and k into your \ithov\data\maps folder, files g,h and t into your \ithov\data\effects folder and the file x into your \ithov\data\models folder. Right? Besides, I'm not finished with the damn thing. I need to figure out what textures the Raynor from Blue Planet uses since extracting just the raynor.pof results in some invisible textures when playing ITHOV and that doesn't make me laugh.

Spoiler:

If an entire battlegroup of your best ships suddenly disappears, whether or not it was due to an accident in transit or enemy action, Command wouldn't send more ships immediately after them to maybe suffer the same fate. They'd draw back, review their strategy and maybe recon the system a bit more before deploying more ships.

Ok, my dear FreeSpace fans (and all you other forest animals). I present to you: the HTL Raynor, primarily meant to be used with ITHOV. Extract to \ithov\data\. The files are already organized, so hopefully it is easy to figure out which one goes where. I've included modified ships.tbl and weapons.tbl, because

1) that passenger liner thing annoyed the hell out of me
2) the ML-75 cannon now uses Prometheus R effects, which results in it being prettier than before.

There might also be some totally useless textures since I couldn't easily figure out which ones the model actually used. But at least it isn't partially transparent, which was my goal all along.

I cant download the first patch. well i can but the .rar says the archive is damaged

Admiral Nelson · **Reply #289 on:** October 29, 2007, 04:37:12 pm

Here are some more contributions to your campaign:
1) I have updated the turret angle fixer tbm to include the Titan, which was missing before.
2) I have made nameplates for all of the vessels in the campaign that support them. e.g.:

I didn't go through all of the missions and add them in, lest I create some version control issues. I can do so if desired, as it is just copy n paste work.

Nice work! I'm glad to see you managed to sort out the nameplate issue. I'm curious, what was the problem in the end? I tried going through texture replacement in FRED and couldn't see them in the texture list either.

I used the most modern mission editing tool available -- Notepad.

I am at a loss to explain the strange behavior, but it did seem to work out in the end. I am now running taylor's latest build, not sure if that has anything to do with it. Let me know if you have any trouble with the mission editing.
