Finally, it's done.
I'm proud to present you my new campaign that is prologue to "The Apocalypse" campaign series inspired by Half-Life and BluePlanet.
The Capella star has gone supernova.
Capella has been cut off from the GTVA forever...
But, the war is just about to start:
Fight as a pilot stationed on the GTD Messana in the Battle for Vega. Discover many secrets of Vega, join the battle against Shivans, and meet previously unforseen characters.
You are Lt. John Miller and your wingmate is Cap. Alexander Johnson, and together, you both have a destiny that awaits.
[ Download me! (http://www.sectorgame.com/vega/files/TAVega-EN.zip) ] (18,9 MB *.zip)
Follow the installation instructions from ReadMe!.txt file.
Warning 1 You must use 3.6.11 build (Nightly build will work :) ) and 3.6.10+ minimum core and effects mediavps
Warning 2 I did my best to make it as much grammar correct as I can, but I'm still searching for native English speaker to grammar correct it.
Enjoy and expect sequel soon!

For Polish players: There is a Polish version of this campaign, available here: http://www.freespace.pl/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5174

I've just downloaded this and I'm getting the "I'm going down" message every time a transmition comes through on the first mission.. and it's getting kinda anoying, I'm using this build : http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,64378.0.html , might that be the cause?
EDIT: nevermind, it seems to be working now, probably just mod.ini issue.
-
Yay, a new release. DL'ing now. :D
-
:yes:
Very, very good. A lot of grammar errors, but otherwise an excellent short campaign.
-
Excellent shiv!
We were in need of english campaigns coming from you, especially after that very interesting FS: aftermath campaign... ;)

Try running with a release build (doesn't end in -d) instead of a debug build. Or am I mistaken somehow?
-
That is a debug build. Don't use debug builds, unless you're intentionally huntign for bugs or want to create fs2_open.logs.
-
And check out if you're running only mediavps and campaign as a mod.
There shouldn't be any "fire down normals" flags anywhere in campaign, nor in mediavps.
-
How are your feelings after playing this campaign? What would you like to see in the sequel? :D
-
Doh! i could have sworn i was using the release and not the debug :rolleyes: Now its working :)

The Good
This space intentionally left blank.
The Bad
Default loadouts on friendly craft, resulting in useless(er) crappy Seraphim flying about, plinking away at Shivans with SDGs and Prom-R. Immeditately after Capella, when they should have been packing Prom S at the least.
WTF is going on here? I haven't got a clue. The campaign's got no intro worthy of the name, and the presence of Shivan ships in Vega in strength enough to pose a threat to a destroyer is something of an asspull in and of itself.
Seriously. Next time, ask for the assistance of the native speaker of English. Straight up, ask somebody, right here in this subforum.
The Shivany survival of Capella got worse, too. Polaris? How the **** did they get into Polaris? Two destroyers? The GTVA was worried about single cruisers making it out of the system in the last missions of FS2 and you're telling me the Shivans have destroyers in Vega?
The existance of a boneyard station is plausible. The existence of one, with live weapons, without a caretaker staff, is ludicrious.
The Ugly
DEFAULT LOADOUTS. IN A HERC. LESS THAN AN HOUR AFTER CAPELLA. WHAT THE ****ING HELL.
DEFAULT LOADOUTS, IN A HERC, LESS THAN AN HOUR AFTER CAPELLA, AND YOU WANT ME TO DISARM A ****ING LILTH WITH THAT. WHAT THE ****ING HELL.
There are continual problems with head anis being wrong, strange, or just not there.
The station in mission three does too have power at the start of the mission. Look at the blinking lights and spinning radar antennae!
Second mission designer fiat ugliness; you will not be near the transports when they arrive. The transports will get free shots at them therefore. There will be blood. I lost Theta 1 on very easy on two consecutive playthroughs. That should not be possible.
Loadout issued for the second mission is totally inadequate to the task of disarming a Rakshasa. Sure, fakeout loadouts are okay, along with fakeout briefings, but you have to give somebody a chance instead of racks of Tornados and Rockeyes and a Myrm's gun layout against those tiny prongs.
I gotta go play Tides of Darkness again to detox after two missions. Argh.
-
i just finished it and i liked it :lol:
i liked the way you introduced the missions without briefing.
and for the story we need to know more before we made any conclusion but it gaves me want to keep playing.
and please for the final release ... i hate subach laser :mad:
anyway thanks for you work :yes:
-
i got a weird bug at the second mission, the screen is black at the start and stays that way, im using the scp version from that earlier link.
-
Seems like fade-in fade-out aren't working.
-
Wow...ngtm1r's brutal honest truth. No wonder I had you playtest Rogue :p
-
Wow, well I really beg to differ from NGTM-1R's point of view here.
The atmosphere was bloody excellent! The use of cutscene subtitles at the beginning of missions and a custom soundtrack brought across a movie-like immersion to me. I was too busy fighting off the Shivans to notice a lot of the shortcomings. The language was one which I felt could've been improved by an english proof-reader, but it was legible. The intensity on the first mission was insane (in a good way), it just inspired me to "Fight Harder". However, why was I flying a Herc I in the first mission? I've only played up to the third mission at the moment, however that'll be subject to change.
I really liked the campaign to be honest, and I don't think NGTM-1R's review should discourage people from playing this campaign, make your own minds up :).
-
Wow...ngtm1r's brutal honest truth. No wonder I had you playtest Rogue :p
There's a reason I went for the "WITHOUT PITY" in the sig. :P
-
and please for the final release ... i hate subach laser
Your feedback has been noted :nod:
The language was one which I felt could've been improved by an english proof-reader, but it was legible.
It's already being grammar corrected by a native English speaker. Grammar Checked version will be ready soon9tm) :D
Why was I flying a Herc I in the first mission?
Messana in her desperation has launched everything she had.
About Subach lasers - Everything is low on resources. In addition eyrines fighters/kayser lasers/other advanced ones were more liek reserved only for elite pilots.
However... In the sequel...
...You'll play mostly in systems untouched by Second Shivan Incrusion, so you'll have access to more powerfull toys and as well some new ones : )
So keep faith!
've only played up to the third mission at the moment
How did you like the ending of M3? ;7 ;7
-
Ahh I see. :D
-
i got a weird bug at the second mission, the screen is black at the start and stays that way, im using the scp version from that earlier link.
Same here, at first I figured it was because I was using an older nightly build but even with the one posted earlier my screen remains black.
-
Is data on this campaign logged in the Wiki yet?

-
There are continual problems with head anis being wrong, strange, or just not there.
My bad, not Shiv's most probably. There was a code bug that caused strange behaviour in both anis and wav messages. It's also responsible for Rodo's problem earlier.
Should be fixed in the latest nightlies.
-
hi,
not bad and a good atmosphere, but im missed briefings and debriefings.
often you kicked out in the space.
imho are the briefings / debriefings a good way to transport the story and tell details out of the missions.
for example: how doing the others, what state is the defence of the relay (i missed here a mission, it was tell that its likely they attack it, but nothing happen).
the spelling? na im not a nativ english, so dont worry, nobody is perfect and my nativ spelling is far away of been perfect :lol:
but the last mission: *whine* thats a really hard cliff hanger. man you cant be serious :D want it now :yes:
the ships and the weapons: no problem, i mean its understandable that you fly in a rosty box with waterguns *ggg*
Mehrpack
-
Seems like fade-in fade-out aren't working.
Same here, i got the bug since the second mission. I've to increase the in-game gamma :/ not cool at all.
-
This is a nice campaign overall, even with the grammatical errors. Like what Dilmah said, I too was too busy fighting to notice the other shortcomings. I kind of liked the foregoing of the briefings and debriefings, although admittedly it makes things a tad awkward at the start of missions, but as I've been playing FS for ages that's not too big a problem.
-
Transmission show time is too short, cant finish the sentence before next line pops up. With so much action going on without Voice Acting, its very confusing.
-
Okay, just finished the Campaign. Time to give some scores.

Whenever I write out a plan prior to FREDding, I find that I get inspirational ideas for it that I would never get when simply FREDding on whim.
-
I never plan my missions.
Is this a bad thing?
-
It's like fiction writing, everyone has a different style basically. (But they can be loosely grouped :P)
-
It seems to work the same way to most of fredders, you always work with a basic idea at the beggining and then the idea mutates.
I get most of my ideas when looking at the sexp's options... I just happen to switch between the different categories and then I see a weird new sexp I've not used so far and I think about how to include it in the mision :P
-
A good mission i think comprises of 40% planning 30% implementation and 30% inspiration
(In Fred eureka moments)
-
i think it's a nice campaign.
i like the way how the player is introduced in the missions. Without briefing etc..
This story has potencial... espacially with this cliffhanger. But why the Vega forces have to use old fighters? GTVA Ships fleeing from Capella for weeks to Epsilon Pegasi AND Vega and then there are only two destroyers and no fighters? strange...
By the way.. it seems that this campaign was released in this forum (http://www.freespacegalaxy.de/forum/index.php?mode=viewthread&forum_id=9&thread=58) in German aswell.

I suppose shiv decided he was so good at German he decided to translate it into that language as well.

So I just finished going through the campaign like 203472 times because I was editing the grammar and stuff so I figured I'd post my thoughts. Overall it was very very good. I liked the lack of briefings, especially b/w missions where you are sposed to be going straight from battle to battle its a lot more realistic. And the use of cutscenes and things for story telling is a nice departure from the rest of fs. Reminds me of Half life. New music and new couple of sfx were cool. Music was especially fitting. Since you are using messages to convey so much story, they're going to be longish. Make the especially long ones display longer (is that possible?) or split them up sentence by sentence. Otherwise you're struggling to read things instead of playin the game.
As NGTMR1 said the loadouts and ship selection, at least before acquiring supplies from the outpost are pretty crazy. After you get the old stuff from the outpost and you've set up the situation that you are going to be using old tech you can do as you please, but in the beginning when you should be fresh off the front lines you should have much more up to date weaponry and ships.
Missions with the outpost is pretty damn long. 17 or 18 minutes if i remember correctly. Between the last two missions, if you switch b/w an athena and valkyrie it suggests that you've been back to base. If that was the case there should be a briefing i think. While the lack of briefings is nice, i think they should be mixed with briefings. It will allow you to beef up the story content, which was a little confusing/had some holes. Both the destroyers did not put up any fight at all. Made the last cap ship battles pretty boring. Fun to watch, but they shoulda fought back. The whole outpost going critical and everyone being fried with the heartbeat and then all that was mad cool.
Overall a good campaign. New way of telling the story, plus some new "events" or w/e you wanna call em makes this pretty special.

Do you have 'enable 3D ship selection' enabled in the launcher? Looks like you don't have most of your command line options turned on...
-
*snip*
Please please please with sugar on top, DO NOT ABBREVIATE DEBUG LOGS. It makes it really, really hard for us troubleshooting types to identify the problem correctly. Even if you are absolutely, positively sure that the problem is not in there.

That was a log with most (all) options turned off. I usually keep the -ship_choice_3d flag on. It crashes anyway.
@The E: here is another log (complete this time) with the usual options (for me) activated. Hope it helps.

The problem is somewhere in this mission file.

Specifically, the "Harpoon#Weak" is mentioned in the loadout, but since it isn't allowed for the player, FS2 screams and dies. To fix this, you need to either bug the creator, or fix the mission file yourself.
Could it be some conflict between TAV and some other item on my FS2 installation? I'm asking this because there are other people here that claim they've played the mod. I mean, if this was to be a general problem, someone would have said something somewhere in the release thread.
Though I keep everything in it's own mod folder just for this... (as you can see from the list o VPs loaded)
Here's a list with al the VPs in the fs2 root
FS2OGGcutscenepack.vp
multi-voice-pack.vp
multi-mission-pack.vp
smarty_fs2.vp
sparky_hi_fs2.vp
tango1_fs2.vp
tango3_fs2.vp
root_fs2.vp
sparky_fs2.vp
stu_fs2.vp
tango2_fs2.vp
warble_fs2.vp
The multi-voice-pack.vp and multi-mission-pack.vp were added after I discovered the issue.
I'll give it a try replacing "Harpoon#Weak" with a basic "Harpoon" and see how it goes.

I think you're trying to run it using debug build.

It crashes with both release and debug builds
LE:
Strange, there were some crashes related to some Shivan secondaries (the ones marked #Shivan and the Shivan bomb). I did a manual replace (FRED crashes too) and then I got this:

How about moving this section of the thread to the technical discussions.

Yes that was an excellent little campaign. The grammar wasn't so bad when I knew you all were Polish guys.
Poorly translated english is better than poorly written english :lol:
Not to say the translation was poor, just that there were a few odd word choices and the usual spelling and grammatical problems. But the point is that the missions were fun so I didn't really mind.
I would've preferred another mission inserted between the resource gathering one and the later missions. I got the sense that the situation was rather desperate (ie "we have to hold our 48 hours!!"). But then the two anti-destroyer missions are not too hard and they're both on the offensive. I would've liked one more mission where the GTVA and the base maybe is on the ropes, or in other words in a bad situation. Though I know that can be a bit challenging since those LReds are so deadly.
-
I never plan my missions.
Is this a bad thing?
When I play one of your missions I'll let you know.
But even for me, when I do a mission the planning tends to be in the most general sense of the word. One thing I might do is write down teh dialogue before I plug it into fred. I find writing's a lot easier with a book in front of you rather than a keyboard.

Error: sp-01.fs2(line 2389:
Error: Required token = [#Goals] or [$Formula:], found [+Trigger Count: 1] .
File: PARSELO.CPP
Line: 670

------------------------------------------------------------------
I am running 3.6.10 final with mediavps and so on; the install isn't that old, and I updated everything with the FSO installer last week. This looks to be a FRED issue, but I want to be sure; I checked the thread and saw no one else has this problem. If it would be more appropriate, I can file a bug report on Mantis.
Command-line options:
D:\Games\Freespace 2\fs2_open_3_6_10.exe -mod mediavps -spec -glow -env -mipmap -missile_lighting -normal -3dshockwave -dualscanlines -targetinfo -orbradar -rearm_timer -ballistic_gauge -ship_choice_3d -3dwarp -warp_flash -window -ambient_factor 0 -no_emissive_light -spec_exp 11 -spec_point .6 spect_static .8 -spec_tube .4 -ogl_spec 80

Go read the first post in this thread again. It states, in no uncertain terms that
You must use 3.6.11 build (Nightly build will work ) and 3.6.10+ minimum core and effects mediavps
Now, what conclusions can we draw from this?

Hi guys! For those who don't watch sectorgame forum of this campaign (http://sectorgame.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=61), I have some info. I've just released a new patch to this campaign so it's fully compatible with FreeSpace 2 Open 3.6.12. Get it here (http://sectorgame.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=3920) and enjoy!
If you have a chance, take some screenshots from it and post them ;)

Any news on the sequel shiv?
-
Fixing the "Vega" chapter was essential to get started again the works on the "Exodus" sequel. I'd like to do some job on it during upcomming days and maybe show you some screens or even a gameplay video ;)
-
Sorry for the necro but I just played this and overall am looking forward to the sequel. Any chance that could still happen?
-
I really liked this as well. Right when things get crazy the campaign ends.
-
Just wanted to thank CT27 for the necro, I am still trying to get some sort of "complete" list with all ever released mods and campaigns together for myself, as scotty hasn't updated his campaign list in quite a long time (it's also far from complete). But then again, I could as well share that work with the HLP community. You know what, I think I'll dedicate a thread to that.
-
Author is busy as hell with his real life issues and there will be no sequel soon. I cannot make any promises, but I think he will be back one day and make something new.
-
Just tried the latest version under Ubuntu 20.04:

-
This is what happens when your subtitle string is longer than 32 characters. How did this mission ever work? Fixed in 1.0.1.
-
Just played this with the current MediaVPs forced. I've encountered no bugs until the last mission, where, even though
the Aquitaine blasts the SD Badriel,
the corresponding primary goal is never marked as completed.
(And the mission neither progresses nor ends successfully.)
Does anyone know if this also happens with the correct version (too lazy to install :p)?
Aside from that: I really like the TL:DR of the objectives after the fade-in in every mission.
Just before the fade-in, however, I see for a few milliseconds the actual mission.
Could anyone look into fixing these, or is this a result of too new MediaVPs?
I'd also be intersted in editing the mission dialog if there's hope at all of modernizing this campaign.
-
I'll give it a play. If you'd like a quasi-professional second pass proof read, I did a a couple dozen pages of edits for Spoon for WoD.
-
I had the same issue with the last mission.
-
I think I found (and solved) an issue in the last mission of The Apocalypse: Vega.
Due to the B in "SD bardiel" being in the lower case in several FRED events, the mission won't progress past a certain point because key events are all tied to the hull integrity and fate of that Ravana destroyer. The game won't recognize these events as valid because the ship is named "SD Bardiel". I performed several tests and made some changes via Notepad, solving the issue. Hereby attached is the modified mission file.

Knossos version has been updated with this fix.
-
I tested the new patch and managed to complete the campaign. :yes:
-
I can also complete the final mission using the fixed version, thanks!
There remains the issue of the fade-in not occurring immediately after mission start,
but only after a few milliseconds of "normal" view have been visible.
I don't know if that is as easily fixed?
-
Above I've described the issue of the screen flashing the normal view of space at mission start, cutting to black, then fading in.
Opening & saving the first mission (attempted for purposes of dialog editing) in FRED, with no editing whatsoever done,
had the result of the screen going black & immediately fading in every 5 seconds, when I again tried to run the mission from Tech Room.
This did not, however, happen with the second mission, which showed exactly the expected old behavior.
Hidden Text: Reproduction efforts • Show The main difference in the sexp's responsible was the first mission fades in over 5000ms while the second uses 6500.
The event in question is called "initial-sequence" in mission 1, "fade-in" in mission 2. There's an event amb-music-play between them only in mission 2.
Setting the first mission to 6500 fixes this, although setting the arg of fade-in in the 2nd mission to 5000 does not reproduce the strange behavior there.
Merely renaming the offending event to "fade-in" in mission 1 fixes the issue too;
renaming to "initial-sequence" in mission 2 and reordering events to match 1 does not cause it.
I'm using nightly from 23Dec2020 self-built on Archlinux & forcing current MVPS.
FRED version is 21.0.0-RC2 in a Win7 VM.
to be written, unless the event itself is actually edited. Is this possible or even to be expected, considering the original file was last edited in 2009?
EDIT: Edit *anything at all* with the Events Editor and this bug doesn't show up.
I've simply removed the fade-out time at the beginning to instantly start with a black screen,
never touching the fade-in, and everything works.
-
The odd fade in/out behavior can be easily fixed in FRED by setting the initial fade out condition under an event that is triggered by default (trigger condition: true).
The consequent fade in effect is to be activated by a different event, set at mission start (trigger condition: has time elapsed "0" or similar).
Any extra fade in/out SEXPs result in weird effects.

And that's what the original author did. Their mistake was to set the time to fade-out over to 1ms, which of course means one frame of a normal monitor. I don't know if that SEXP required an argument back in 2009, but I've found that simply removing it fixes the issue.
-
That's correct, the initial fade out setting should not have a transition time. It should be a pure fade out, activated directly.
The fade in effect that follows soon afterwards can have any transition time as per the designer's taste.

Thanks for the advice. I've got two new questions, maybe you could help me there as well?
When opening any mission original mission file in FRED-FASTDBG, im getting this:
Warning: +Team: value was out of range in the mission file! This was probably caused by a bug in an older version of FRED. Using -1 for now.
File: missionparse.cpp
Line: 5042
I've found +Team in the wiki only as argument to #Events, so I'm guessing this means to which player team a given event applies?
As this is a single player campaign, can this be safely ignored / left with the default FRED sets?
Other thing is, this mod contains outdated models for Apollo, Valk & Athena. These have in the meantime been included in the current
MediaVPs, with which I aim to make this campaign compatible.
What's the best practice for enabling these craft? The default load order means MVPS get loaded before this mod, this shp.tbm takes precedence, the older models override. I can think of splitting shp.tbm out to a package that loads before MVPS, loading MVPS last in general, or patching shp.tbm with MVPS entries wherever they differ.
Thanks in advance!

Running debug builds (FRED included) may result in warnings popping up, and sometimes these warnings don't cause any serious trouble. I've recently played mods despite their several hundred warnings/errors, and the gameplay was very smooth in most cases (for instance, I did not experience CTDs). In this particular case I'm no coder but, to my knowledge, FRED processed the inconsistency rapidly and realized the reported "Team" value is indeed a multiplayer setting. Consequently, the game itself is now resetting the value to -1 (which means "all teams", IIRC) and no further intervention is required. It even reports this may have been caused by a bug affecting older builds, so it must have been a known issue back then.
If all necessary changes have been made to the missions, maybe you should let MjxMixael know so that a new update can be released soon. He monitors the thread anyway so he'll definitely notice this. :)
The issue with outdated FS1 models can be solved too via quick packaging changes - I admit I didn't even realize the models were outdated, and that's mostly due to the fact that I play in FP.
-
Does this still need the gramma fixing? I saw on the first page that it needed it, but that was 2009. Has it been updated since then? If not, I would be happy to give it the once over :-)
-
@Iain Baker: I'm currently engaged in editing the fiction. manwiththemachinegun already offered to give it a read when I'm done, but I'd be happy to have your additional feedback, if you're interested.
@ Mobius: I can explain in greater detail what I already changed and which problems I see with the various solutions to the outdated models when I'm back at my PC
-
Back now. At the risk of making this a noob's yakshaving rant, gonna give you my thoughts
on how best to update the Apollo, Valkyrie and Athena.
Hidden Text: Long-winded situation analysis • Show As far as I can tell, models for these three craft and indeed whole sections of the shp.tbm
were copy&pasted from fsport. IDK if there've been changes to these within the port,
their addition to MVPS would logically have come at a later date or these models would have
simply been referenced.
In this importing, a mistake was made: Neither the drive sounds (192 & 193 of FS1) nor
their defining table were imported, causing the drive sounds of these craft to be missing,
and so to differ from their performance in FS1 and fsport. I've already corrected this,
copying these missing parts from current fsport.
Now correct me if I'm wrong, but the table data included in the MVPS
for these three are insufficient to use on their own (I tried), served in a way so as to easily override
fsport versions, and therefore marked +nocreate.
So before MVPS are loaded, these ships must be created, or the overriding data in the MVPS' shp.tbm
must be applied "manually".
This leaves several courses of action:
1) Patching the vega_apo-shp.tbm (which is a partial copy of fsport ship.tbl) with all the additions
and overrides normally applied by the MVPS. At loadtime, mvps_shp.tbm definitions are ignored,
and these craft created not before vega_apo loads. models from mvps are accessed.
Pros: minimal changes to mod architecture, bugs easily traceable, little work (was going to go with that)
Cons: don't update with either fsport or MVPS, leaving us with the same situation in a few years
seems to work
2) Changing load order (in knossos) to load MVPS last. Not touching tables. Table entries get overridden
as they are when launching fsport with FSPortMediaVPs, and therefore, MVPS.
All other table entries also get overridden, which will bring back a "illegal weapons" warning in FRED
which I previously fixed by overriding the Myrm's and Zeus' $Allowed SBanks.
EDIT: No they'll stay overridden as they weren't overriding MVPS but only retail.
Pros: no work at all, updates with MVPS
Cons: stuff getting overridden all over the place, bugs hard to find, doesn't update with fsport
Hidden Text: doesn't work • Show 3) What I thought I should go with:
Adding a package to load before MVPS, which contains only the old shp.tbm entries.
Only this would be overridden.
Pros: bugs easily traceable, updates with MVPS
Cons: severe changes to mod architecture, much work
EDIT: Doesn't work, can only set load priorities between mods.
4) What I thought I should go with:
Adding a dependency to fsport (which story-wise exists, using craft of that era), to load first,
before MVPS and vega_apo. This was the scenario the MVPS table entries were written for, I assume:
fsport assets get first modernized and then customized at loadtime, as is logical.
Pros: updates with fsport & MVPS, maximum deduplication, can toss old table entries & copied sounds.
Cons: Unused imports everywhere; BLOAT (But everyone's got the port lying around anyway, haven't they?)
EDIT: Okay forget that. fs2 tables get overwritten with fsport tbls.

You've just become a pro at proofreading fs2 files via Notepad or Notepad+, it'll be an easy job for you (SerRes docet). I guess you may edit The Apocalypse: Vega once these FRED fixes themaddin is talking about are fully implemented. :D
