We intend to 'fix' all the missions. I mean, Jump Node 0... how lazy can you get? Anyway, what in the last mission needs fixing that you refer to?

Post by: Raptor on November 27, 2002, 03:47:17 am: Man, if I had known you guys were doing this earlier, I would not have bothered to port ST myself!

Okay, so I have only ported the missions as they were, apart from the last one. I just can't seem to 'finish' it.:sigh:

BTW, when you release this 'reborn' version, are you going to insert extra missions to allow for greater 'continuality' between them?
Title: Silent Threat
Post by: Knight Templar on November 27, 2002, 07:55:53 am: We are going to revamp the entire campaign so that it basically doesn't seem like a bunch of hairy men's crap strewn about in a toilet titled "Freespace Addon 1"

So to answer your question, most likely , yes. :)

Thanks also need missiles and the same for the Zeus. Many Thanks. I'm doing a patch to the FS port that gives the same restrictons as in FS1, they all could not use all the weapons like the Port dose.

( "ML-16 Laser" "Avenger" "Disruptor" "Flail" "Leech Cannon" "Prometheus" "S-Breaker")

I got the Madusa I need the Zeus, and the Madusa can't use the S Breaker, or the Leech Cannon, and the EM Pulse is not called that in FS1 it's called the EMP.

Post by: Knight Templar on November 28, 2002, 12:14:51 pm: my mistake, those are the zeus's not medusas...

Post by: Stealth on November 28, 2002, 01:25:52 pm: don't push it KT ;)

So... anyone here have FREDding experience and willing to help with ST- Reborn in a few days/weeks?

I know i will...

KT? how about you?

Post by: Solatar on November 28, 2002, 08:13:03 pm: I'm moderately good, and I'm an extremely quick learner. So, anything I don't know, I WILL learn.

EDIT: PLEASE!!! I REALLY want to help!:D
Title: Silent Threat
Post by: Stealth on November 28, 2002, 09:12:49 pm: alrighty Hades, do you know how to FRED?
Title: Silent Threat
Post by: Solatar on November 28, 2002, 10:04:42 pm: I can FRED moderately well, and anything that I don't know how to do, I'll figure out very quickly. I plan to FRED for the TVWP, my own little baby.

That last post was a bit...ecentric, but I really like this idea of a better Silent Threat.:D
Title: Silent Threat
Post by: Raptor on November 29, 2002, 01:57:45 am: I would be willing to help. FREDing and moding tables, maps and pofs are about the only things I can do:sigh:
Title: Silent Threat
Post by: Galemp on November 29, 2002, 07:14:34 pm: For an explanation of Reborn, I direct you to my interview:

Quote
BW – “Reborn”? I don't remember that being a part of the original ST title - is that just to separate the ported version from the original, or is there deeper meaning?

GE - "Reborn" is going to be for every FREDder who played Silent Threat and thought, "I could do better than this." Basically, once Release 2 is out with the original 'rubber-band-around-the-trigger' Silent Threat, I'm going to assemble a team to make it what it SHOULD have been. We'll fix all the annoying bugs and bad game play that was in Silent Threat while keeping the same storyline and new stuff. It will still be Silent Threat, but much more polished and refined, with better game play and mission design.

This is going to use FREDding only, no new mods. It will require just as much time as any campaign, so don't get too excited. Yet. Standard Silent Threat, as ported from the original, will be released in Port v. 2 in December.

right, but you agree that it WOULD be best to have a least amount of missions assigned to each FREDer... so that they can concentrate the most on it (which isn't the case if each one has for example 6 missions to complete...)

right now there's me, you, Knight Templar, and Raptor and Hades have just volunteered. That comes to about 2 missions per person, so they can concentrate the most on it, especially since most of us don't have that much time, i know i don't, i'm sure with college you don't, KT doesn't, Raptor's one of my source code testers, so he doesn't... and Hades has his own project.
you know what i'm saying?
Title: Silent Threat
Post by: Solatar on November 30, 2002, 10:06:12 pm: I'm free for a while. Most of my team are having exams. I only pulled a C in Math, so I'm only on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays; as well as other non-school days( Christmas vacation).

I just played ST again for the heck of it. It wasn't as good as I remembered it.

Also, for me having my own project, I'm almost ready to leave it to the FREDers, though I may do some. We just need one more fighter (Cannon fodder, we are almost done with it) and we will start FREDing.

I take it you are referring to the orginal version, not the idea of a redone version.

BTW, Stealth, I have downloaded the FS2_open_3.3, currently runs as well as the orginal version. Haven't seen anything new, but then I'm still using the orginal models and maps (not to mention that I only flew the first mission:nervous: )

Post by: Galemp on December 02, 2002, 07:29:45 am: KT is having some problems; he converted all the MULTIPLAYER ST missions so now he has to rebalance everything. :sigh: On the plus side, weapon icons are coming along quite well.

you mean he didn't convert the single players like he was supposed to?

well he's a fool then and it serves him right :p j/k KT

it's good in a way, we can release the multiplayer missions at the same time

Post by: Knight Templar on December 02, 2002, 11:15:00 am: You know what..

Maybe if you actually did your job for the project, you would have noticed after I sent them to you maybe?

That's what I said, but aparently not.

//watch it kid... you're doing a good job but do'nt push your luck. my job is not to look at work people have done wrong, that's GE's job.

Title: Silent Threat
Post by: Knight Templar on January 26, 2003, 01:31:55 pm: Uh.. the Base Silent Threat campaign has been released. Check our site or some other thread.. It's in V2.0

We are currently working on ST Reborn, which will make ST alot funner to play.
Title: Silent Threat
Post by: Galemp on January 26, 2003, 02:19:56 pm: Yes, Silent Threat is done. So I didn't dredge up an old thread, I posted a new one with all the fun Port 2 stuff in it.

If you haven't played ST, don't bother... wait for Reborn.
