Thats right, its out. Chapter 1 of Solar Wars, 13 action packed, story telling missions.
You are a pilot in the Earth Alliance. You are no hero, no super solider. Your just a man trying to make his way in the universe. 48 hours after the surrender of the EA, you are called back into action once again.
What will you learn during your tour of duty? What exactly will happen? Well you'll have to play to find out!
NOTE: Built using FS2 retail.
NOTE2: Requires Inferno Release 1 to play.
Credits located on the last mission and in the Readme file.
Enjoy. Feedback and reviews welcome :)

The download seems to be corrupt... Try uploading it again.
If the campaign isn't too big, I could mirror it for awhile as well.

Axem, yeah I could do with a host. The file is only 1.3 meg big. PM with how to get the file to you. :)
*Edit - it seems if you go to my website and try to download it directly from there, it works fine :doubt:

Sillly Freewebs. I remember now why I ditched it. Then I found the free 15MB space my ISP gives its customers. :D

Thanks Axem for the hosting :D

Hm. Axem's download seems to be corrupt, but Gai Daigoji's works.

:lol:
-
Stupid thing. The download was corrupt. I didn't think to open it to see if it worked.
*Adds FreeWebs to revenge list*
Anyway, redownloaded and remirrored.

Excellent, i needed some new Inferno missions.

Solar Wars Chapter 1 Mirror (http://www.geocities.com/primus_nova/Solar_Wars_Chapter_1.zip)
I upload it to my GC site.. And Gai, I can mirror the other chapters too :)
-
In the third mission, i'm having a problem. After the knossos device jumps in absolutly nothing happens. Has anyone else run into this problem or is it just me?
-
Hmm.. I informed Gai about that problem.. I thought he fixed it or maybe there's more than I spotted..
-
Some cruel reality 2 or 3 bugs found:
1) nightmare fighters and bombers don't have a weapons (I check it only in FRED)
2) In that mission Where the ancienst attack you first time, there is an event with Beta wing arrival that is critical to this mission (it won't go further without it) is linked to even d...something 5 (is that destroyer destroyed delay). The problem is that there is nothing that could destroy it :/ (maybe it should be linked to cobtrol/cebtral (something like that-funny name) that the mission will go on.
3) that same mission: there is Protect that destroyer directive event that's say is-destroyed (this destroyer) delay, maybe it should be
-and -is-not destroyed
-is event true delay/has-arrived delay
dunno if it's only a directive bur or also a goal bug because I was killed when I try to shoot those kato's with this god damm Claymore mk.2/mk.1 gunpoints.
BTW, Mission 2- you're flying Clamore mk.1 and you have to shoot down some of them also, but it's a pain in the ass then you have an extremaly agile fighter with ****ty gunpoints and you have to kill other agile and thick fighter.
GIVE US STENTORS- why because is beautifull and is/s only playable EA fighter so far.

For the love of God use spoiler tags!
How many people thought the Inferno Forum bit was a link? :drevil:
-
You got me, Kie :D

A lot of events are screwed up... I had to edit half the misisons in FRED to be able to pass them...
From ships not appearing to not being able to warp out when the misison is over...

I never tested the missions, Primus did and I corrected all his problems and I trust in the reports he gave me. :)
-
Always test your own missions. :rolleyes:

It's vitally important that a FREDder tests his own missions. You know what is supposed to happen better than anyone else does which means you can spot things going wrong much more easily.
-

*bangs head on desk*
May i recommend that either Gai Daigoji goes through them, or he elects someone else to go through them, becuase this campaign is looking good.

And what have we learned today FREDers?...
1) CHECK ALL YOUR MISSIONS AS YOU MAKE THEM, THEN WHEN THEY'RE DONE, KEEP TESTING UNTIL YOU GET SICK TO DEATH OF THEM!!!!! :lol:

Hmmm....I will go through them tomorrow and take a look at the events and make changes if I see problems. Either way Primus did a good job as far as I see - his reports are very detailed and without him the balance issues would be terrible ;7
-
External playtesting is a definate must too. But you must always test a mission yourself first :) That way you know the mission itself works. After that you get it externally tested to see if you're a freak who likes super hard missions or a complete wimp who likes them too easy :D
-
Ok, I have uploaded the bug-corrected version of the campaign. The bugs that were corrected were the ones that were sent via PM to me, so if you find any others please let me know.
Primus and Axem, if you still wish to host the campaign you will need to download the latest version.
Clicky Clicky (http://www.freewebs.com/neo-terra)
(Access the downloads page from the site)
Also Primus has created a logo for chapter one of the campaign, so many thanks for that!

This campaign is darn hard.
These Kato is so thin, it's nearly impossible to hit, and they are more agile then dragons.
Edit: I din't reloaded so I changed my post

Never mind......

No offence but I can't be blamed if you have trouble hitting the Ancient fighters. Granted the Kato is very thin and you may have problems using the Claymoore fighter, but I can't change that I only used the models I didn't create them. :)
-
I personally wouldn't have released the first version in its state and I'm discouraged from downloading the new version.
-
I'll need to download it. It looks interesting tho!
But from reading the "test ur missions!" posts... oh well! lol
-
The bugz should be fixed now.. And it was build using retail :)
-
There's something wrong with mission 4. I destroy all the enemies, and then nothing. I just sit there. I even sped it up, but still nothing. It won't let me depart either (as I soon found out you put in an event to prevent departure until you were allowed to). Some help, please.
Btw, great campaign so far!

Mission 4 seems to be the main mission that people are having problems with. Anyway I just tried mission 4 myself and it works fine, so download the campaign again from my site *see sig* and try it again.
-
The biggest head-screwer since Sync.
One thing the last few missions lacked is
BALANCE
24 Extremely fast fighters going up against 2 EA fighters. I mean come on, they were just n00b missions. I only got past them using cheats.
In the mission where the SPD Viiishaasoiinak (sp?) jumped in it said that Alpha 1 & 2 were being pulled into subspace. But they err weren't.

It's no use.
Absolutely nothing happenes after you destroy Dragoon wing.
BTW, this Satyr bomber of Dragoon wing is a joke.
It has more armor then a Fenris cruiser, it has a deadly turret that rip through your armor regardless of shield, and its burner speed is 195.
And as usual my wingman dies in 15 seconds.

what is this???
Inferno chapter two??
some kind of paralell campaign......a prequel???what???....
...and.......people...........USE SPOILER TAGS!!!

THere should be a big sticky post at the top of every freespace forum saying:
USE SPOILER TAGS OR YOU WILL BE BANNED FOR 3 DAYS

No its not an offical Inferno campaign. Its the first chapter of a three parter, tells the tale of a three pilots in the Earth Alliance.
@DIO - Again, I did not make the models I just used them.

Only one question
Where are weapons?
And one problem
I can't play second mission. Game just returns to desktop.
I'm using FSO 3.6.5 (with zpack) and Inferno with patch. Build C01292005 doesn't work with mod. Inferno runs great.

I built the campaign in Fs2 Retail, so I can not vouch if it will work correctly in FSO.
-
Well...
Still doesn't work.
*long silence*
*goes to eat pie*
*don't ask*
-
I just finished the campaign...
...
WHOA!
...
...
Are you sure it's not interfering with canon Freespace a little bit too much?
Or, rather...
Are you sure it's not interfering with canon Inferno a little bit too much?
Anyway... when all those nasty bugs are squashed, it'll be pretty good. A little extreme, maybe. And I thought Inferno was already extreme as it was...

How could I say this nicely?... You don't know me, so stop talking, ok?
-
It was an interesting campaign after all even though having to use Fred for half the missions was kinda annoying.
It's obvious that the first version released wasn't playtested at all , and I hope most of the issues were fixed in the update.
Ships, mission outlines, and models were great. Some missions felt like tech demos for some ships but were fun. Won't add more because I don't feel like using spoiler tags.
-
The story looks pretty interesting so far, but Mission 5 refused to end so I gave up. You really should play your campaign and make sure it works before releasing it at all.
-
is there a way to finish mission 5?
i destroy all the fighters but when the gigas jumps in i can't do nothing. i can't even enter subspace.
-
So far as I can tell, this is bugged to hell and gone...I deleted the campaign file to play beyond Mission 4 by accessing the missions in the tech room as single missions. You must be using the never-warp sexp or equivalent, because when I finish a mission it likes to tell me "Cannot Warp Out At This Time".
I also noted several cases of your spellchecker apparently betraying you, some grammar problems, and the nebular missions CTD (I suspect the weapons problem mentioned earlier).
-
The Icanus warped in for me at the proper point, but it doesn't fire its USilvers because it's oriented wrong. Thus the battle between the Gigas and it becomes much more two-sided.

Welcome to HLP, nodikus. :)

Please, please use spoiler tags, it totally ruins the campaign for people if you don't.
-
Added some tags myself. Don't make this have to be a habit for me though guys :D
-
As I said I edited it to add the spoiler tags that were requested.
What you do is type [ spoiler]Some thing that would spoil the mission for someone who hasn't played the mission. [ /spoiler] without the spaces between the [ and the word.
That way you don't ruin the mission for people who haven't played it yet.

AFAIK there is no way he or anyone can find out your password, but Admins can change it. Otherwise those people who use te same password for everything :doh: could have their internet banking accounts Hacked.

Yep. Kie's got it right :)
Anyway feel free to go back to discussing the mission (in spoiler tags!) :D

As Far As I Know

Is it possible to release a reborn of this campaign? :confused:
