Dusk Wars Act 1
A fixed version of the original Dusk Wars re-released to the public. Dusk Wars will be separated into 3-4 Acts telling you the story of a galaxy divided by war and terror.
Features in Act 1
*2 new unique factions based off of original factions: The Bal'ran Empire, a theological empire strongly dedicated to their polytheist religion: The Trinity, and the Anshari Empire, a genocidal empire which has begun to wage war against the galaxy.
*New, yet familiar soundtrack from the modifications you love so dearly and old soundtrack from Freespace 1 and 2.
*A unique storyline that's easy to follow
*New weapons that are easy to understand and work with
*A slightly unique new warp effect! (It is not dull at all! *sarcasm*)
Important Information
The new Dusk Wars is no way affiliated with the old plot which was very difficult to follow. This new Dusk Wars was developed to be easy to follow and understand.
Requirements
*Freespace Open 3.6.14 or later
*Mediavps 3.6.12 (any future versions, should there ever be, may render Dusk Wars obsolete)
*Time
Installation Instructions
Windows:
1. Extract the folder itself into your Freespace 2 directory
-Should look like this in the end: "C:\Games\Freespace 2\Dusk_Wars"
2. Go to your launcher and enable the mod
3. Engage Freespace 2, go to campaign, and enjoy!
Mac:
TBA
Linux:
TBA
Thank you to everyone who offered their assistance and advice as without you, Dusk Wars may not of been possible. Special thanks to the Ancient Shivan War Team for the inspiration from your modification and the Ancient Fleet. Without it, the Bal'ran Fleet may not of been possible and this mod may not exist.
I hope you enjoy Dusk Wars Act 1, if you wish to contribute to the development of the much more important Act 2 please drop a message or say so in this forum post.

Downloaded and finished.
In Short: Very nice. Very enjoyable. Well done and Congradulations on the release.
No issues on 3.6.18 And I really did like that warp effect. Just saying, I really did like it.

No it's not, at least when I checked it last night.

Link isn't working.

Yeah.. using Dropbox as a file host for things like this is against their TOS. Nice one.
-
Beacuse of this issue I'll re-upload the file to another location. As for credits, I listed everything but the music section. I apologize for this mistake and it will be fixed. Expect a new download link with a fixed credits list later tonight.

You might try freespacemods.net.

Upload it to freespacemods and I'll approve it ASAP BTA.

Upload it to freespacemods and I'll approve it ASAP BTA.
The problem with Freespacemods is that I use it so rarely is that I don't remember my log in information, as a result I will upload it to Gamefront some other location for now until I fix my issue with Freespacemods. I will also approve if anyone would like to upload the mod to Freespacemods for me, which would save me a lot of trouble.

Is there a problem with the download link, that I used just hours after it was released? (Is my donwload corrupted or something?)

A new download link is now available via Gamefront. Should you have further problems please report them. I'm trying to get this uploaded to Freespace Mods but the website is giving me troubles in sending me a activation email. Anyways, enjoy and sorry for making others wait.

Gamefront says 'file not found' for me.
Right now I'd settle for a Mediafire link...

That doesn't make any sense, I tested the link 3 times and it seemed to work, I also had the mod uploaded to moddb.com which is taking some time to authorize in the meantime. Either way I'll look into this.
-
Looks like the Gamefront link is corrupted it. Stated filesize is 682 MB, but I keep downloading a 512 MB file....

Alright thank you, I'll check that out. A moddb link should be up within a day or two, or a freespacemods link if I get an activation email...which I haven't gotten...after the 3rd try...

BTA if you want I'll let you use my FSmods account.

Oh no its fine, I believe FSmods is down atm anyways and I've made a Mediafire account to prevent a further issue like this again. Hopefully this works.

I am working on mirroring this.
EDIT:

And done.
Let me know if corrections need be made.
I'm going to be cool and add it to the release post.

Hey guys, I was trying to run dust wars on a 3.16.19 build and it seems like the player I had got corrupted in some fashion. I can't load FSO anymore, no matter what mod configuration I run. I can tell something is wrong by looking at the log, but I can't seem to come up with a solution from it. I used a player that had already started another campaign because of the change in pilot code.
I tried reverting to 3.16.18 with no success. It will no longer load at all and hangs at the loading screen without spitting out an error. :/ (I'm on vista, btw)
If someone could help me out, that would be awesome! :]

This sounds like a problem with the build itself. I don't believe the mod itself has caused this but I can't be for certain.
Maybe 3.6.19 corrupted something?
-
That's what I'm wondering. Like I said, I don't really know what's going on. I'll give it a try again tomorrow maybe.
-
I played it, and it was quite good. I have a few objections. Music in the whole campaign was just a whirl of everything, ultra-epic battle track from BP after something a bit more ordinary, and than a ASW track. You should make music in DW more uniform [but please, not in the BP direction :P]. I was also a bit suprised, when our destroyer destroyed shiv... Anshari juggernaut without any problems from her. Jugg just stayed and did nothing, waiting to be destroyed. It should run away when damaged or something. This mission for me is to be rewritten. Rest of them are rather good, I enjoyed the atmospheric mission with planetary cannons and good music :yes:.
-
You seriously did a lot of work on it since I tested it. It shows, as it went from very good to awesome!
If you want testers for Act 2, I again am at your service.

Thank you for the feedback, I was thinking of using different music but I'd need to get permission from different companies to do so, which is something I've never done so I'll try that. As for the destroyer well, she isn't important to the story, much like the SD Ravana in the original Freespace 2 campaign as it just sat there waiting to die. You'll meet the true enemy soon enough.

Why thank you Jelly, I'll keep that noted.

You don't need to get permission from anyone. As long as you're not selling your work for a profit, you can claim fair use. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use)
-
That may be true, but as HLP doesn't have not-for-profit status, and we're the source of the content, it could potentially be seen as a means for us to be drawing an audience and thus profit to the site. It probably wouldn't come down on HLP directly, but it could lead to it being requested to be removed from the site.

People can pull the offending tracks if that issue comes up. It hasn't so far, and we've had years of opportunity.

Let's just call HLP campaigns 'education' to avoid legal issues.

:bump: :bump: :hammer:
I feel that this is clearly necessary but. I wish to announce that Act 2 is officially in the works. More information about Act 2 will be released in a separate thread when the time is right. Thank you for your positive feedback for Act 1 and hopefully I continue to serve the Hard-Light community righteously with Act 2.

I have a strange issue: I don't manage to extract the .rar archive I downloaded from freespacemods.net. I can see the complete file tree in the GUI, but there seems to be no way to get it extracted even using command line... any idea? (I'm running Kubuntu 13.04)

Did you try extracting it using WinRAR?
-
ok, ehm... I managed to extract the archive. But the thing is becoming even more stranger. My FSO installation doesn't lay on the system partition but on another one. I had no problems in extracting any other archive other than .rar.... When I moved it to the system's partition everything worked fine... :confused:
-
to LINUX USERS: remember that everything in linux is case sensitive, so check that all folders' names in ./FreeSpace2/Dusk_Wars/data are written in small case. If the name starts in capital case e.g. "Tables" change it to "tables". Otherwise they won't be loaded.
-
ah yes - that's on my wishlist to fix/workaround one day :)

Indeed, back on topic however I definitely have to replay this.

Reviving an old thread for the greater good! In order to aid in the development of Act 2 I wish to ask from those who've played Act 1 to tell me what they've liked or disliked about it. This will help in the development of Act 2 so any problems don't reoccur.

A plot question:
Wouldn't the protagonist species for this campaign (based off the Ancients) look at the enemies with shields on the fighters and ask themselves "Should we maybe try to make shielding?"

Wouldn't the protagonist species for this campaign (based off the Ancients) look at the enemies with shields on the fighters and ask themselves "Should we maybe try to make shielding?"
They've considered it but they've perhaps came to the conclusion that shields were inferior ^^. After all, the Anshari are getting their asses whooped so far into the story.

will the next dusk wars episode require MVPs 2014?

please say yes please say yes please say yes please.... *gnnnn* x)
sorry. thanks for the interesting campaign. the no shields concep takes some getting used to, esp. for someone who likes to point-defense-like snipe bombs

No Dusk Wars will not require the MVPs 2014. Perhaps in the future however. ^^

Could you give us an update on how Dusk Wars 2 is going?

Development is going rather slowly but I can assure you it is almost complete!

Good news, everyone! -Hubert J. Farnsworth
Dusk Wars Act 2 is approaching its point of completion! Only one more mission to go after long periods of inactivity, once finished the campaign will enter its final testing and bug fixing/balance tweaking phase. Along with Dusk Wars Act 2 being released, Act 1 will be re-released with graphical updates to make the mod overall cleaner. With that said, here are some screenshots to show the progress!

Excellent news! I'm glad to see your project still alive :).
-
Do you plan to do the re-release of Act 1+ Act 2 as one big download or will they be released separately?

They will be released together because the graphic update for Act 1 is required to properly run Act 2.

I hope all ships and weapons will also be more balanced in the rererelease of Act I.
As far as i remember a playthrough of it correctly, especially the 2nd mission was unbeatable on higher difficulties.

The mod wasn't designed for higher difficulty gameplay (beyond medium) however I'll keep this considered. The re-design of Act 1 was more from a graphical standpoint to make the weapons a little more unique and stand out more, along with some updated model(s).

Update
Known bugs are currently being fixed as the mission design has finally reached its conclusion. Due to the number of missions however and my laziness + my focus being directed towards RL and EvE, there is no estimated time in which the testing will be completed. However, some of you may have noticed some interesting screenshots being posted in Celebrating Freespace topic by yours truly, like Betrayal, I too have some mystery projects and due to the amount of time it is taking to finish this, I will be announcing one of two of my projects by next week. One project contains spoilers that are in Act 2 so I can't announce both at the same time.
Meanwhile, I am looking for two other testers who are willing to test out Act 2 once my great bug and english errors purge has been accomplished. If you are willing to test out please either send me a PM or ask below!
Again I thank you all for your patience, I know it has been awhile but lately my mod hasn't been the center of my focus so development is going really slow, but I can assure you, it will be released in the not so distant future.

How's the testing/campaign going?

How's the testing/campaign going?
Well due to a sudden HDD failure I will not beable to release the mod anytime soon. Thankfully my friend had the most recent version available so I am able to pick up from where I left off...which was starting to fix the bugs...
I've also started to experiment with Sins of a Solar Empire modding so I am not entirely sure when a release will be ready.
Thankfully however, I have a new, better HDD and hopefully that problem wont arise again.

Sorry to hear about that. Could a 2014 release still be possible?

Yes it is possible, assuming procrastination doesn't get the best of me :)
