be sure what you submit works, people!

Darkmaster, I doubt The long run will be on the DVD. I can already tell you got much to fix. Very much. Sorry

Ok no problem. Please PM me about the bugs, thanks.

I don't intend to let some buggy things go to the DVD, so don't worry. If we can make it in time, it's good. But the most important thing is the quality of the stuff.

[Vidmaster]

it's worse. Check your PMs. Feel free to flame me.

[darkmaster]

According to Vid's suggestion I'll put "The long run" on hold for unlimited time. At least until someone appears and help me tell the right story  and until my FRED skill has improved a lot.

[IPAndrews]

I wouldn't put it on hold. Your mission designing skills won't improve unless you work on missions. Maybe continue to work on this with a view to having it included in a future campaign pack.

[darkmaster]

The problem is mostly on the story-telling aspect. For the FRED I can improve my skill from time to time but there is no hope to improve my ability on telling a story. As VID said, my writing is really very bad, for now I can only correct the bugs but not the plot holes. I'll come back to it later.

[Vidmaster]

these newbies always start with a far to ambitious project which ends up buggy and then forget about it.
CHECK YOUR PMS, MAN!

I am surprised you just didn't noticed what was between the lines. Especially in the upper part.
If you discover something doesn't work like you want to, you dont give up! Rule1 of fredding!
You get yourself somebody to help! Campaigns are huge projects.

Darkmaster, I used to create campaigns for pen&paper games when I was younger. I could give you some storytelling pointers if you'd like. I have a pretty good record, I held a 600 year spanning campaign and my unforgiving players never managed to find a story hole.

[karajorma]

Funnily enough that's where I learned my mission designing skills too.

And my paranoia about methods enterprising players can come up with to break your game.

[Ker.Soth]

Vampires: The Masquerade and Forgotten Realms. Best years of my life. If only those devious players didn't pull the rug from under my feet so often..

[Vidmaster]

it was DasSchwarzeAuge with me, also Pen&Paper 

[Slasher]

Should things be in the form of a .vp or just .fs2 files?  For those who want to know.

[IPAndrews]

VPs are good. They stop people accidentally modifying the mission you spent all that time setting up perfectly. If they want to see the mission in the editor they still can, but they can't save it back to the vp and corrupt it.

[Vidmaster]

not to mention that it's much more newbie friendly.

[Ker.Soth]

A very very important attribute, said the newbie

[hip63]

OK basically times up on the DVD, if you want it on the disc, get it to me ASAP.

I would say, if someone can load the mission in the editor, he is probably able to set up a mod folder and play with the edited missions (like I HAD to do with a mission in FH 2260, which otherwise didnt work for me).

[IPAndrews]

If you find a bug with a campaign the best course of action is to contact the campaign author.

[Vidmaster]

that would definitly be nice, yes 

zero days, he? *wanna download*

You'd be surprised how often we have to deal with problems caused by someone saving their own files back into a VP.

[Vidmaster]

what a shame the TBP training won't make it in time
