... i think that was edited. the sunsath is not there/

[TopAce]

Ok, if you have a stars.tbl in the data/tables folder, delete it or move it to somewhere else FS will not look for(to the root C:, for example)

[karajorma]

Where are you looking for it Cobra?



My pic is from FRED2_Open so your background editor will look slightly different.

[TopAce]

FRED Retail has the mania that it wants the ships.tbl to list the stars alphabetically. If Cobra uses a stars.tbl which does not list the images alphabetically, he won't see much.

I don't know if this is fixed in FRED_O, but I find the stars.tbl guilty.

Cobra, if you do not have any stars.tbl in the data/tables, disregard what I told in the previous two posts.

[Cobra]

the bitmap drop down. like you said.

FRED_2OPEN? i wish it could work on my PC.

nevermind, i got it working.

I only wish Karajoma would be this active when it came to testing in MG

[Cobra]

lol. have you tried my mission, singh?

[willy_principal]

Cobra...fredding?
...
...
...
i gotta see this...

no offense, just kidding...
hey! damn you...i got to download three different files to play your mission, now...i don't remember which was the latest...

try to keep a track of your updates in the first post of this thread (with the download links), and when you update the mission, post a new reply with the modifications you made and the download link...
i did so in my thread, and turned out to ease playtesters' work...

[edit] oh, also...try to use only one file, or at least use some naming convention...like fac2m9-Cobrav1 fac2m9-Cobrav2 fac2m9-Cobrav3...
Karajoma: wow, i really never saw you so...active. Get some work at Mind Games... ... ... i really wanna try that campaign...

[Cobra]

hey, willy. long time no see. download the first link. it's the latest version now.

Are you waiting for me to test something? Bump the topic on the internal and I'll take a look. Bear in mind though that I'm not the only one who should be playtesting on the team

@WP : I'm more active cause I'm not the only person playtesting now. For some reason people have suddenly started helping out which means I can spend more time solving problems and less time writing up every single problem I see with the mission.

@Cobra : Have you finished making the modifications I suggested? If so I'll give it a try.

[Cobra]

i'm working on it, kara. I've done a little more, i've added a sunsath, etc...

[karajorma]

I'll wait until you're done then. No sense in checking a mission which you're likely to change anyway

[willy_principal]

[EDIT]the first link is the latest???... .... DAMN!!! i tested an old version! [EDIT]

well...i tested C2-9-2.zip (which i think i the latest version of your mission)
i gotta tell you that...i liked it, it's good. But not perfect...good in-mission chat, BTW.
however, i didn't liked these things:

most errors appointed by TopAce, are still there...errr....WTF??? (i'm receiving rare messages from Command)

the default weapons loadout sucks...
The available weapons are too many (rockeyes, for example)...or viceversa (tornados, for example)

the previous mission finished in Red Alert? or what...how could someone swap spacecrafts or change his weapons loadout right in the middle of space??? The Julius has no fighterbay, remeber?... this happened in many others campaign......................i never liked it...

the civilian convoy either jumps away from the node, or doesn't jumps....do not use wings for Lambda (i remember you made the same mistake in Pathways mission 1)...if you do, they can't jump...or they will jump simultaneosly...

i opened the mission and saw four Sathanas...now i understand why i got 10 Frames Per Second... use the sathsun or...the lowpoly model version...

there is no "jump to Epsilon Pegasi" directive...

The jump node leads to "Jump Node 0" i though it leaded to Epsilon Pegasi...

the sun is misaligned...i mean...jump nodes are supposed to be in the edges of a System (i think)...and you are suppposed to jump outwards the system...not inwards...not towards the sun... get it?
i think that's all...

[Cobra]

I've updated the mission, but i haven't moved or changed the wings, since you just now brought these things up.

yeesh, i do my best after not FREDding for about a year and this is what you give me... nothing but criticism... well, except for karajorma, of course.

mission has sunsaths, a directive, and i'm experimenting with a "red alert" SEXP.

You can't control which direction the player chooses to jump out, so this is pretty much irrelevant IMO. I've never felt the need to align jumpnodes that way anyway.[/color]

[willy_principal]

i do....i'm quite perfectionist...
well, i understand if the player jumps inwards the system...

but an entire convoy jumping inwards is wrong as hell...

and i think the player think could be fixed, it would be difficult, but possible...

[Cobra]

just play the mission (first link in first post) it's updated, and has a few changes.

[Cobra]

hey, karajorma, how do you take pics while you're in FRED? I have a small problem and I don't know how to say it in words.
