Re: RELEASE - Flames of War: chapter 1
Is there any change in the modelspack? Cause I already have that and I don't want to download it again.

Other than that, :yes:

Damn it! At the moment I have no time to play it...but between XMas and New Year I definitely will!

I'll give it a shot later. Here's hoping you squashed all the bugs!

schrödinbug (noun) - a bug that manifests itself in running software after a programmer notices that the code should never have worked in the first place.

<Aesaar> literary criticism is vladimir putin

<MageKing17> "There's probably a reason the code is the way it is" is a very dangerous line of thought. :P
<MageKing17> Because the "reason" often turns out to be "nobody noticed it was wrong".
(the very next day)
<MageKing17> this ****ing code did it to me again
<MageKing17> "That doesn't really make sense to me, but I'll assume it was being done for a reason."
<MageKing17> **** ME
<MageKing17> THE REASON IS PEOPLE ARE STUPID
<MageKing17> ESPECIALLY ME

<MageKing17> God damn, I do not understand how this is breaking.
<MageKing17> Everything points to "this should work fine", and yet it's clearly not working.
<MjnMixael> 2 hours later... "God damn, how did this ever work at all?!"
(...)
<MageKing17> so
<MageKing17> more than two hours
<MageKing17> but once again we have reached the inevitable conclusion
<MageKing17> How did this code ever work in the first place!?

<@The_E> Welcome to OpenGL, where standards compliance is optional, and error reporting inconsistent

<MageKing17> It was all working perfectly until I actually tried it on an actual mission.

<MageKing17> TIL the entire homing code is held up by shoestrings and duct tape, basically.

Re: RELEASE - Flames of War: chapter 1
The is no change in the modelpack (from the last update, where the Perseus DH and Orion Hulk were corrected), so you're good to go I guess :D

Hmm, I'm also using the Fury-Class in my mod and I remember that I had a similiar problem some time ago (edit: jep, exactly those textures). Whatever, I'm not sure how I solved it. Some month later I did re-download it from Hades-combine (the file was the same, not updated) and I had a newer FS:SCP build (and some other options enabled/disabled) and now it works.

I would check the model with modelview, perhaps that'll help to find out if those textures are really missing or something else is wrong.

Found the problem: the texture that didn't show is called "SOCTile13", and in the VP there is a texture called "SOCTile13c". I extracted and renamed it, and now it's working properly.

Re: RELEASE - Flames of War: chapter 1
I'm sorry, but I found another problem... :nervous:
In the mission "One Way Home", when the Fury reaches the node, it just sits there, without jumping...

Re: RELEASE - Flames of War: chapter 1
You, grabed that texture from Inferno I belive, since it worked good.
 I knew I put it in the VP, but apparently I put the c version of it : LOL...



Oh, about the mission. Did the Fury tell you to enter fighterbay 1 or 2? (don't enter 3 or 4 or the flight control officer will call you a moron!)
Remeber, you fighter doesn't have intra-system jump drives so the Fury is waiting for you to land...or do you wnat ot get stranded in Sirius? :D

Re: RELEASE - Flames of War: chapter 1
This is a really nice campaign.  My only suggestion is to spell check the entire thing (techroom, briefings, etc...)  It would really improve the quality.  Thanks!

It tells me to enter the bays only after the Despair is destroyed. And the first time I played, the Despair escaped. Now the first thing I did was to disable it, so I destroyed it without much problems. Thank you!

And BTW, the campaign is excellent! :)

Strange.. the SEXP to tell you to land is set to fire once the Fury ends it waypoinz. Destruction of the Despair is a bonus.

Anyway, thanks :D

Re: RELEASE - Flames of War: chapter 1
Not sure if it can work that way..

you can plop the music , nameplates and insignias in your freespace/data corrensponding folders:

nameplates in maps folder
music in music folder
insignias in players/squads

They won't overwrite anything stock or anything from the Media Files.

The rest looks fine

Re: RELEASE - Flames of War: chapter 1
Thanks.

I wish there were better documentation for 90% of the mods and campaigns available. There is a LOT taken for granted, not to mention most of the info around is flat out wrong because it refers to FSO before the new mod format.

I mean, there's one mod that has more than one web site dedicated to it, and all are broken! You have to search hard here to find the links that work! Arrgh!
