Re: Axem's Perfect FRED Tutorials
I admit i did rape-look at the Vassagos Dirge and WIH files to see how player jumps were done, but this tutty-tut makes the theory behind the practice all the more satisfying to plant in my headspace.
Campaigns I've added my distinctiveness to-
- Blue Planet: Battle Captains
-Battle of Neptune
-Between the Ashes 2
-Blue planet: Age of Aquarius
-FOTG?
-Inferno R1
-Ribos: The aftermath / -Retreat from Deneb
-Sol: A History
-TBP EACW teaser
-Earth Brakiri war
-TBP Fortune Hunters (I think?)
-TBP Relic
-Trancsend (Possibly?)
-Uncharted Territory
-Vassagos Dirge
-War Machine
(Others lost to the mists of time and no discernible audit trail)

Glad there's more of this stuff around, it'll be very useful for me when I finally have time to go learn FRED. Probably some time after I die.

Some people are like Slinkies.  They aren't really good or even useful for anything but they always manage to put a little smile on your face when you give them enough of a push down the stairs.

Axem is super busy with all the campaigns he's on, but I'm sure he'll do another when motivated.

2.2 actually. And yes I was sort of preoccupied with working on that and BP as of late. However this weekend is a long weekend in Canada-land, so I hope to have the next part then. I already have an overview of what I'm going to be doing, so its just detailing it all.

Re: Axem's Perfect FRED Tutorials - UPDATED July 1st
One point I feel is worth mentioning is that the argument SEXPs do not loop in the way you might think they do. For instance in this case



the game will make all ships with less than 30% hull jump out THEN make all the same ships send messages. It will not warp out the first matching ship, send a message from it THEN move onto the second match. This sort of thing has tripped up quite a few FREDders in the past, especially when using string variables to hold the value of <argument>.

If you think about it, you should see that it always ends up holding the value of the last matching item in the list regardless of how many ships match.

Re: Axem's Perfect FRED Tutorials - UPDATED July 1st
Yeah, doing this monthly worked out sooo well...

Any future requests?

How about choosing from one of the following:
a) Custom Countdown Timers (as seen in JAD2.21)
b) using variable-is-directive (as seen in JAD2.21)
c) Something else from JAD. :p

[16:58] <battuta> it was long, we wanted to release something
[16:58] <battuta> it felt good to have a target to hit
