heaven knows why it was intentionally made to be like that, though.

Depends on what you mean, if you're talking about why it moves around I'd assume it's for the sake of the silliness of the mission, not to mention campaign as a whole.
If you mean why it could be commanded before, maybe that was unintended.

[MatthTheGeek]

What do you mean "smaller than usual"?

Simply what that means : the size of the font was smaller than the standard supernova timer.

Spoiler:

especially noticeable given that it reverts back to standard supernova timer after the last "Transcent" appearance.

[Goober5000]

Can you grab a screenshot?  Because when I checked, it was the same size.

Also, A-1 SUPAR is a traditional HLP expression meaning "awesome".  Sometimes used ironically.  (It's also an echo of the previous A-1 SUPAR usage in DEM 1.)

[Commander Zane]

It remained the same size for me as well.

[MatthTheGeek]

Here you go.

Hum, forgot to run it in a debug build. Tell me if you need a log.

/off topic/ Why is the forum so laggy today ?

[Commander Zane]

That's the size it starts off as in the start.

[Goober5000]

You're playing at a nonstandard resolution.  Can you try it at 1024x768?

[Nuclear1]

Just played it

LOOK AS THE PUNY HUMANS RUN FROM SANDWICH!!!!!!!!!!!

[MatthTheGeek]

Non-standard ? It's the native resolution of my freaking laptop !

Anyway, ran in a debug build this time, in 1024, and crashed at the first "Transcent" appearance. Sounds like an error that the standard build bypasses and not the debug build. The size of the font was normal in 1024 though.

Oh, and nice new avatar

Non-standard ?

Non-standard in terms of FS2, which was released in '99. That is, not 4:3 and certainly not 1024x768.

I also thought it was intentional, for emphasis or something.

Spoiler:

And I don't know why the whole text dancing thing was so funny, but it was.

OMG! I must've died a gazillion times before realizing I had to simply call in for reinforcements...EPIC!   And it was totally by accident too.  I just started banging the keyboard and there it was: "Reinforcements -> Deus Ex Machina".  

And I love those colortest screens! Never knew you could use stuff like that in the middle of missions.  Thanks for making this campaign!  

PS: I dunno if others have this issue, but when I played this campaign, I experienced some jerkiness during gameplay.  I tried a couple of FS2 missions in the simulator and none of those had the issue.  So what is causing this?

[FreeSpaceFreak]

"Jerkiness" ? Please specify.

[MachManX]

Now that I think about it, perhaps it's simply my framerate dropping.  But it's so quick, like 1-2 second drops and then goes right back to full.  Not enough to affect gameplay but still annoying.  Maybe your campaign is more resource intensive than the other ones I've played?  Perhaps some of those non-standard ships have more polys and that causes the slowdowns???

Eh, I'm already done with this campaign.  If no one else is having this issue, then let's just write it off as an "unknown phenomenon of space" 

[GruntMinion]

Hey, how come I keep getting this message on the second mission saying Windows - No: Exception processing message 0xc0000013 parameters 0x761A92A0 0x00000004 0x, ugh not saying all of it. whatever it is, it is preventing me from continueing on to the second mission, can somebody help me out here?

What about the emergency broadcast image (the rainbow of colors)?  Did that cover the entire screen, or just part of it?  And can you provide a screenshot?

[MatthTheGeek]

No problem with the emergency broadcast, covered the entire screen. Lemmie grab a screen...

Here we go.

I finished the campaign this morning. Really, really well done (A1-SUPAR). I enjoyed it, and it was interesting how it started off serious and then devolved into hilarity shortly after.

Spoiler:

I found that emergency screen thing to be pretty amusing, especially as I had to take of my headphones the first time it happened because it was LOUD ! Also liked your parody of Sync and Transcend (I still need to play Transcend ), it didn't take me long to notice that, although I didn't think about it right away when I saw Beta 2, I was thinking 'didn't all of the bombers self-destruct in the last DEM?'.

I recognised the Japanese music thing immediately, although I only knew it from the Goldeneye 007 video I watched once on YouTube. I didn't find scanning the cargo too bad because of all of the sarcastic scans .

The last mission, that was really good, including the music. It was hilarious to suddenly come up nose-to-nose with Beta 2, who then proceded to say 'You die now!' I'll confess though, I was confused as to how to finish it so I digged in to the mission file (and I was like 'ohhh, it seems so obvious now!'), but it didn't really ruin the end . Being rickrolled was funny too, seeing as I haven't been before IIRC .

All in all, a very well made and funny campaign.

[Goober5000]

Thanks!

And I got the idea from the Goldeneye video as well.  I didn't know it was a full-fledged meme until I started doing further research on it.
