Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
Admiral Steele wouldn't have been inspired by a mix of Admiral Villiers and Admiral Raymond Prescott from In Death Ground/The Shiva Option, would he have?

I realised that those two characters are who he reminds me of.

After beating that mission, where you fly on UEFg Karuna, i'd like to say that was AWESOME... yep, there is still some.. issues with control, weapon system, i think... but i hope there will be more flying on this kind of ship. ))

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
Please post an fs2_open.log. Instructions on how to do this can be found in the FSO FAQ.

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
Hello, just registered. I have played Blue Planet AoA, also finished it and I think its awesome. Unfortunately I got some similar problem like Tarond had with War in heaven. The game crashes at the splash screen and I get this message:

ERROR: bp2-wep.tbm(line 805:
Error: Required token = [#End] or [$Name:], found [+Friendly Miss Factor:               1.4 1]
in weapon: SRed
.

File: parselo.cpp
Line: 262
Int3(): From g:\fso\fs2_rc3_export\code\globalincs\windebug.cpp at line 1155

According to the FS Open installer mediavps_3612 and the mod is fully updated. 3_6_12 inferno and the latest laucher are in the root folder. I also set the resolution to 1024x768 and deleted bp2-adv-visuals and mv_advanced but with no luck. I got the log in the attachments, hopefully it works.

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
You need to use the 3.6.12 FINAL build. Get it here: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=70692.0

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
Oh I get it! I needed to use the standard build instead of the inferno one. Thank you very much it worked!  :yes:

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
*Sigh*, No you NEED to use the INFERNO build. The build you used before was the 3.6.12 Release Candidate 3 build, War in Heaven specifically needs the 3.6.12 FINAL INFERNO build to work.

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
Yea, sorry im a noob at this. The standard one gave me some errors. I think I used INF sse2 before. Got it working with the final one.

Just finished.

My... word...

Sweet, holy, darling, merciful, ****.

Good night, I think that was the best science fiction of this decade. ****, could be the best fiction of the decade.

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
My response as i played through the campaign would be inapropriate to post, but rest assured with began with disbelief and a "Fffuuu-" :nod:

I think very few would disagree if i said this campaign has set a new standard. Stuff like the multiple choice missions, checkpoint system and the reinforcement pool idea really takes it beyond being a new campaign, not to mention the depth of the storyline and strategy in the missions (like treb strikes) and movements of ships (how the hell did you pull off the corvette's twisting? :wtf: Is that some kind of SEXP thing?). Things like the three-gun banks on the Uriel (didn't quite sink in to begin with that that's a first IIRC), and the external gun mounts (including the deployment animation for the archer) really put icing on an already good cake!

You guys should really be proud of this; i recall Derelict being a campaign quite cherished by people, and i definately imagine BP is going to be alongside it soon enough!. Good luck with the second chapter! :)

To paraphrase a game review I saw on some random game box a few years ago: "AoA raised the bar. WiH may transform the bar altogether."

The rolling capital ships and reinforcement pool was hot ****, loved it immensely. :D

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
I understood the point system, no problem. The problem is that I had no idea which options to choose, since I had no idea how any of the combinations would work out tactically beyond - it's a bomber, gunship or capship. I think it could be a cool game dynamic if we were slowly eased into it, had several missions over which to try the system and see what different tacticial combinations do, and of course, if the choices made real tactical changes in the missions.
Long time ago, you see, there was this thing called the VBB and... oh, nevermind.

Funny thing, I already had a good idea what to use, Uriel Gunship and Saturation Wing sounded too obvious for me. :P

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
I wonder if there were any combos that didn't work in the mission, though.

If you went all interceptors and Uhlans you might have had trouble. But we do plan to do a mission that leverages that mechanic a little more fully in the future.
