The Aeolus in Hostage Drama is supposed to fire on you. If I remember correctly, I included a message that says something like "Watch out for the turrets!" If not, then it only remained an intention. In retrospect, it doesn't make much sense to have the cruiser fire on you. Imagine that the gunner notices the approaching fighter, and instead of warning the boss, he starts firing. Let's just say that intelligence is no strong suit for gunners.

Police Action and ITHOV were/are hosted at PengiunBombs. So if PB is down, you have to look for a mirror. Let me see if HD has a mirror... [EDIT] Yes, it does. Both PA and ITHOV are hosted at Hades Combine. See first post for links.

Thanks for that.

Oh one more problem I just encountered, as with some others, the game crashes when I try to access the fighter selection screen for the missions with the upgraded Apollo; When selecting the weapons, I get a screen with graphics glitch. This can be solved with your suggestion of switching to 3d models for the selection screens.

Interestingly, when using Fred to edit the missions, I get the following message:
"Fred encountered unknown ship/weapon classes when parsing the mission file. This may be due to mission disk data you do not have."
Note that I extracted everything from the vp archives and placed them in the appropriate folders.

My comment on the Harkov thing: If he were smart, he should have let Alpha dock and then arrest the pilots while onboard the Phoenicia. They were supposed to dock right? Granted General whathisname gave them the Ares, but they were supposed to dock with the Phoenicia anyway and so things could have been carried along to that conclusion without raising any suspicions on the part of the pilots. Of course, that wouldn't have the story continue right?

I don't know what might cause FRED to encounter that error. Have you extracted the table files, too? Have you tried if FRED could open other non-core-FS2 ships from ITHOV (GTI Bretonia)?

The Harkov thing: Yes, it would have broken the chain of events. Remember that this happened before: In the third mission of the first SCP loop in the main FS2 campaign, when you are identified as a traitor to the NTF, instead of being arrested and executed after getting back, they also try to shoot you down in space. I guess if we were modding for an FPS, it would all be different, wouldn't it?

I understand that this is an old thread by now, but I found a bug in the mission 'Culmination,' where the game crashes when Runner 1 starts to jump in.  I've already tried using debug and reinstalling the campaign, but neither have worked.  Any ideas?

Whiner on duty strikes again!

Hi,

Dear Campaign Creator

I think this one is very good and i really enjoy it.
Only one thing destroys my euphory .
Debrefing The end of Tania Australis contains that mission was  succes, and down below is Easter Egg notify. 
But i can`t jump to next one because pormpt window appears and tell me that im sucks and order me to reply this mission or go to hell.

This is a true ending of campaign or my english sucks and i missed something on comunications chatty?

Thx for help

It's very strage that you receive this error. I'm trying to put it simply to make it the most understandable to you.

You receive that Easter Egg debriefing if you jump out without receiving the "Return to base" directive. If you jump out without receiving orders to jump out, it is okay that you receive that debriefing stage. If you receive the Easter Egg debrief but jumped out after receiving "Return to base,"it's a bug and my fault.

Your wording also suggests that the campaign ended for you there. The campaign should not end there. If it did, it's again my fault.

RTB order was present on the left side of screen a long before i finally returned to base,because i like battlespace clean so i decide to make my day destroying one moloch who left aside
and then go back to base.
Debrefing give me sweet candy for my duty, but easter egg debrief call me deserter and  i can`t begin next mission instead i recive  fs2 standard
message about mission failed.
Any trick for skip that poblematic event?

[TopAce]

This cannot be happening.

Does any other debriefing stage come up?

[EDIT]Oh my God. The mission is indeed buggy. I must have added the automatic ending in the last moment and did not test the mission as a campaign mission. Hold on, I'm gonna fix the problem.

[EDIT2] http://www.mediafire.com/?ajyzmfttmjd
Here's the fixed mission file. Create a data/mission folder inside the folder you installed ITHOV into, for example if your ITHOV installation is in FreeSpace 2/ITHOV, then you must put the mission into FreeSpace 2/ITHOV/data/missions. I hope this will fix it.

Okay, I have uploaded the new version to ModDB. It will now work. I've tested it, not as a campaign, but as a standalone mission, but I'm sure it'll work.

[utops]

Ok, problem go away now.

Thx for support 

Edit:

I just finished that campaign and what can i say - this is style i like.
Oh btw i just wanna escort that wookies and wikipedia vandals for destination or smth,but sadly theres was no time for that.
Thx for good fun.
(im not good arcade player and this campaign was quite easy for me so i mark it as personaly favorite one.. near transcend,derelict,BP and sync)

[TopAce]

Thanks for the compliments and the feedback.

Spoiler:

The Wookiees and Wikipedia vandals are Easter Eggs. Congratulations for finding them.
