You heard that right! Base 3.2 brings along numerous new improvements to visual and gameplay. Raider Wars now includes voice acting and several new features included with the latest Base. Get yours today!

Please note that at the time of writing this news, Fileplanet servers have not yet been updated to include the latest Base and Raider Wars releases. You can still get the files via BitTorrent.

I'm curious (before I download 262 MB :p), what version of fs2_open does it use?

Also, have you done any testing of it under Linux?

IIRC they're using Taylor's 3rd January build (since it plays cutscenes and 3.6.5 doesn't)

And, I assume it will play the .ogg voice files? :)

It might not actually. That fix might have come along later.

Hmm... I was just going to post news about this to gamespy's own forums when I noticed a topic there by Primus. Closed by a moderator.

I judged from the links in the sig that it's our very own Primus, so may I ask what did you post? Something about TBP, as the reason for the closing was "No advertising"? If so, I wonder why on earth do they react so harshly to piece of news?

See the technical part of the FAQ.

Linux is not officially supported. I have not seen staff members posting anything about linux, so it has not been tested as far as I know.

Oh and by the way, the readme that comes with 3.2 incorrectly reads as version 3.1 readme, but it has changed a bit since last release.

It is no longer needed to seed Base 3.0, Base 3.1 update and Raider Wars 1.0 torrents, the two new releases replaces those. Thank you to everyone who have helped us out by seeding TBP torrents.

:lol: No advertising. I thought I could post info about Severed Dreams, what is a PC game. :wtf:

I told 3.2 is out at my forums only and at B5TV.com I said it will be out soon. I was correct. It was out the same evening. :D

[EDIT]
About closing threads... I posted info about Proxima Fleet at B5Tech, and they closed and later deleted it for promoting a competing board.

With 3.2 we used an older fs2_open build because newer builds have some problems. IPAndrews knows the details of those problems better than I do.

In any case, we would appreciate if people would play Base 3.2 and Raider Wars 2.0 also with newer builds. And if you encounter problems you did not have when using the build inlcuded with 3.2, please report those problems to the SCP team.

At the moment the latest build is available here:
http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,33460.0.html

And instructions on how to post a bugreport are here:
http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,25327.0.html

This would be immeasurable help to both the TBP and SCP teams!

The downloads are now available via FP. if you get the "404 file not found" error, just try again.
I'm currently downloading from the non-subscriber server with ~ 96 KB/s.

Hmmm, tried it, and Raider Wars sounds really good with Voice Acting...but i seem to be CtD'ing when i try and start the Red Alert mission 'Nightmare Scenario', it loads fine, but when i press *Accept* to play it, it instantly CtD's...

Edit; Just a thought, it's probably the version of FSO i'm using, if someone could link me to a d/l for 20050301 or whatever it is, i'd be grateful...thanks...

I was playing TBP peacefully , and then, DAMN IT, the game crashed after the nightmare mission finished (the one which is after "Hell and Back" mission ).

I got an error message, i don't remember what exactly but, it seems it doesn't find some script/ files .. :/

Try playing the one mission that causes the crash using the following build:

Does Nightmare Scenario work for anyone without error?
