Re: RELEASE: Flames of War - Coming of the Storm
In mission fow_c3_m4 the thunderbolts only have rockeyes loaded and there are no cyclops torpedoes available.  In the load out you have Cyclops#short but only the cyclops is a starting weapon in the campaign.  You should either change the load out for the mission or the starting weapons for the campaign.
Normal people believe that if it isn't broke, don't fix it. Engineers believe that if it isn't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet.
The difference between Mechanical Engineers and Civil Engineers is:
Mechanical Engineers build weapons.  Civil Engineers build targets
An optimist sees the glass half full; the pessimist sees it half empty. An engineer sees that the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Both are checked in the mission files, they should have them. I'll look into it.

@AlphaOne - nope, you won't see the Archy in COTS. It's slated for DOTA.

welll bummer.......


so when is the DOTA campaign coming out ??? Before new years eve or after ??? You yourself said you could make at least 1 missiona day if you wanted  and you said some of the stuff is already made. So that should put you in for new year if you work really hard dont sleep or go out have a private life.

So in al fairness is sounds good to me if that means i get to play around with some new awesome ships :D

J/K TMan. Im looking forward to finishing up another campaign before i complete yours(just a few more missions to go ). Love your mod's just because they are on the same page as what i have in my mind but cant actualy make them ! :D 

So thanx for the great mo's ships the works :D

P.S. - you were actualy the only one that got the Orion HD Mk II the way i wanted it  and even made a battleship :D :P

The thunderbolt uses the default loadout which is the cyclops#short so it will default to the rockeye even if the cyclops is present.  The solution is to set the loadout to the cyclops for beta and gamma wing ships or add the cyclops#short to the starting loadout in the campaign file.

I'm also having problems with mission fow_c3_m4RR.  The event for the escape pods will not go true.  The event is for all the escape pods departed or destroyed but only a part of the escape pods arrive from the previous mission so it keeps waiting for the pods that were destroyed in the previous mission.

You can't do anything in the next mission. you just sit there and it's like a cutscene, except with a cockpit. This happened to me in sync and BP before... forget how it's fixed  :blah:

Re: BETA: Flames of War - Coming of the Storm
That should be fixed in my update. It's caused by ships missing a Red Alert Carry Status flag.

Re: BETA: Flames of War - Coming of the Storm
ok i think i have an idea what the problem is, when a mission is loading is there suppose to be just a screen with the GTVA logo in the background with the loading bar infront?
Edit: Forget the above, is it possible that it may have something to do with the way FreeSpace is reading the FRED file.

Fixed it. Open up the mission in fred and uncheck red alert status.

Re: BETA: Flames of War - Coming of the Storm
Since the Beta is over we could move this to the release thread. Less clutter.

Just FYI - for any problems with red-alert missions - they will require a re-start of the campaign if you started playing with an older version of hte campaign files.

If the problem still persists, I know of another way to fix it.

The wing name changes between fow_c3_9RR and fow_c3_10.   You go from Gamma wing to Alpha wing.  I played through after the last Update and the problem persisted with you not being there in mission 10.  Change the red alert in mission 9RR to key off Gamma 2 and change it to Gamma 1.  Change the wing name in mission 10 to Gamma.  This shpuld fix the problem.
