What changes are included in the ships.tbl?
Mirror 3 (http://www.nukelol.com/downloads/freespacefiles/campaigns/RainOnRibos4_version1_1.zip)
Played through the first few missions, all up not bad. Few spelling errors and long pauses with no significant action spattered about here and there, but in all it's pretty damn good! One niggle I have is that your rendition of Tombaugh just doesn't feel like the fortress station it's made out to be. I'm probably heavily biased because of the overwhelming pride I hold over my version of Tombaugh (let's just say i've hit the FRED ship limit a few times, it's that massive), but I just felt that it wasn't as big as it sounded from the pilot banter in FS1.

Crikey, dude. You've like registered two and a half years before me and you don't know how to adjust a mod.ini? Excuse me while I go and bang my head into a wall.
OK, now that my head hurts, I think that we shall move along. What you need to do is this.
If you open the mod.ini file, located in your Rain on Ribos 4 folder, you shall see this part:
[multimod]
secondrylist = FS1_port_3,mediavps;
Now, since you said that you have the FSPort in a folder called FSport, you'll adjust the part so that it'll look like this:
[multimod]
secondrylist = FSport,mediavps;
Easy, ain't it. Now, go and enjoy the campaign.
#2: You might think about re-balancing that mission. It is waaaayyy too hard.
Doesn't have the polished feel of the "major" campaigns
mission bugs
Heres a thing, the Debriefs are too short
Spoilers, but if you're still reading this, GO DOWNLOAD THE CAMPAIGN!
I had to play it a few times before beating it, but I thought it wasn't that difficult. Try playing on Medium. Also, don't do anything complicated with your wingmen, just have them guard the Pinnacle. No way you're going to save the cruiser. Basically you have to just fly like a maniac and kill as many bombers as you can.
Any time you think a mission is too easy/too hard, remember, the difficulty settings are there for a reason.
Nice work on the campaign, Orpheus. Doesn't have the polished feel of the "major" campaigns (PI, Derelict, etc.) because of some grammar errors and mission bugs, but I'm not one to care about small details like that. Great atmosphere in some parts, and an interesting approach to mission balancing. Really feels like you're fighting "the horde".
If you haven't played it yet, do so. It starts out slow, but gets much more interesting after the first few missions. 8/10. :yes:
Hi jediben...
yeah I know mission 12 (to one you are refering to) is ... difficult but now to give you some feedback; to ought to keep the Hercules since it has 6 gunmounts and can carry Phoenix V (I took them in not only because I was lacking a bomb like the Tsunami but because two of them can killer every bomber is FS1 with not evaded)
- also there will be change to that mission for reasons of bugfixing once I've time; until the 1.2 update of this campaign you can feel glad that I was able to fix the stuff with My wing which tended to simply starting dead 'cause of a bug related to red alert (it is part of much larger RA-bug series so it is in mantis - note for the programmers)
mission 17b is another thing ... that's not intended to be stereotype-vasudan; it is rather that it is the way of the vasudan Admiral Meth who is quite a zealot and tactical leader... (I really wished someone would give me a hand and help me doing the voice acting - Meth sounds great in my imagination)
and after all up to than point the GTA-PVE alliance had not scored a huge victory against the shivans and their capital ship's abilities were unknown -- and originally the cruisers were ment to escape and the Lucifer ought to cripple the Pledge (the events to cripple the Pledge are still in the mission) but I had to drop that for certain reasons which base on capital-ship-AI issues
I would also add the second freighter (which comes when the Hulkins goes down) to the e-list. The same is for the shivan cruisers in the fifth mission.
- Number 8 is one you could let out completely. I mean, what happenes there? You have do guard four escape pods from four Dragons. Thats annoying because of the damned bustling of these fighters. Mission 9 was quite nice, but... meh,
Mission 12
Now I'm hanging in the 13th mission. Any suggestions how to defend a rickety Faustus from Tsunami bombs while Scorpions (Grrrr) and Dragons are on your six?
The debriefs are really short. The debrief in mission 12 for example was just a bad joke
Athena junk??? Dude, that's the best ship in FS1, period!
the fighter selection you get has a deeper meaning actually -- athena and herc can both carry PHOENIX V and Interceptors! Now guess why you are needing those!Hm... I don't think that the right way. By this you force the player to do the mission a way you think is the best one. I think I would do much better in this mission in an Apollo of Valkyrie. You have hardly time to reload you secondaries anyhow.
Compared to other shivan fighters the scorpion is very weak... once its MX-50 are shot it will be no harm to you if you just know how to evade primary shotsYou prefer to blow them back tho whatever hell they came from instead of evading them. ;) And that's hardly possible with these damned blowflies.
you are complaining 'cause the AI has a bright moment and is able to think of firing Tsunamis at a distance of 200 instead of more than 2k?Thx. Gonna try that later today.
the easiest way is to assign one or two full wings to kill one bombers while you got for the other - and if you are being chased by the shivan fighters the chronos freighter and the faustus are your best friends.
Athena junk??? Dude, that's the best ship in FS1, period!Athena best ship? Did I miss something? The Athena is the greatest piece of junk ever produced by the GT(V)A! The only thing that is good at this thing is the design. But that's it.
Anyone else get like a crackling sound in the audio? Or is it just me?
Okay... Just checked the campaign pack, it's the 1.1 version... The only solution seems to kindly ask 0rph3u5 :)

The mod.ini says it needs something called fs1_port_3. What is this?Change it to correspond with the name of your FSPort folder.
