The non existence of the Zagreus in the TVWP universe already put paid to that.  Likewise note the Inferno fighter 'Enceladus' -- which is a version of the Mustang Alpha closer to the original V concept art.  There seems to have been some sharing of models between the two projects ages ago.  Are you sure it wasn't a different class?

The Zag could have been commissioned during the 14 year war but retired for ineffectiveness or something. Like the Thanatos and Savior.

Anyway, the Sagittarius is definitely the Leneaus. I'm sure of it.

I also ran across one of the freighters that seemed to have some terrible bounding box issues.  I could fly through 75% of the ship.  Don't remember which one though, I'll have to look it up later if no one else has noticed this.

You mean the carrier that you usually dock with .

Unless you add the enhanced pack, the fighters will only have some low resolution pcx files.

I have the enhanced pack and the textures look bad . Pretty low quality ones . I only enjoyed the idea , gameply , story and "atmosphere" , but not the ships .

Hmph.  There is actually a problem with missing files in the enhanced vp.  I assembled these vps when 3000 miles from home on a work laptop.  Looks like none of the internal testers noticed.  I'll reassemble the package.
If a man consults whether he is to fight, when he has the power in his own hands, it is certain that his opinion is against fighting.

Transport, something following a path I think.  It was on the mission where you have to escort the ships while they charge up their drives for the next jump, where the miners take over the escort.

And you had to dock with it for the mission to end ? It's the carrier . I noticed the same thing - ghost ships . Everyone can fly through them .

Apparently, I saw dead people without realizing it. :wtf:
To consider the Earth as the only populated world in infinite space is as absurd as to assert that in an entire field of millet, only one grain will grow. - Metrodorus of Chios
I wept. Mysterious forces beyond my ken had reached into my beautiful mission and energized its pilots with inhuman bomb-firing abilities. I could only imagine the GTVA warriors giving a mighty KIAAIIIIIII shout as they worked their triggers, their biceps bulging with sinew after years of Ivan Drago-esque steroid therapy and weight training. - General Battuta

 
Not knocking anything, but is it possible to have a all in one installer?  I think it would be much easier to just have one large file to download etc.

Not the carrier, I'll have to look it up later or something when I get back from work.  Carrier might have fly through issues too though, I'm not saying I tried or anything.

I just realized, the thing that I'm now most baffled by is the lack of ST:R.  That some sort of upcoming present?

Okay, I have fixed the issues with the enhanced vp.  Redownload using the first post in this thread.  This should resolve the Kestrel cockpit issue, and fix some of the other missing maps.  I'll have a look at the ships, but in the absence of an active modeler, there may not be anything I can do.

An all in one file will be provided once all the missions are complete.

ST:R has nothing to do with TVWP. :)  Voice acting for it is still in progress.

Well I'm glad for that.  There's 5 or more posts just right up near the top of this forum that say that TVWP had been on hold due to ST:R still needing voice actors.  Glad we didn't have to keep waiting on that to get this little piece of gaming goodness.

Well maybe the people in internal noticed that the end of the chapter wouldn't be released for another one hundred years so released just the first act of the chapter instead.

Heh, only four missions need to be FREDed from scratch now yo finish Chapter 1.  The rest is playtesting.  I hope to have it all wrapped up in a couple of months.  Future chapters is another matter, though. I am thinking of a new approach to those to ensure that releases can come at a decent pace.  This will require discussion in the internal.

The new , "fixed" , enhancment vp makes the Mustang Alpha and Mustang Beta invisible , with only the blue glowmaps seen .

It only seems to do that in the tech room.

It's a bit nBSG for my taste, but it's fun nonetheless.  The AI appears to believe 'turning on glide mode and spinning like a top' is an evasive maneuver, however.

I saw a few guys doing that, then I said to myself "Do I look that cool?"

That is an evasive maneuver!

Does TVWP support glide? I wasn't aware.
