Ryleh Campaign

dragonsniper:
Can anybody make a seperate mission for the FSCRP and send it in to whoever, or do you have to qualify?

Admiral Nelson:
If you want to find an old campaign and give it some TLC, feel free to post it in this forum for review.  There are many old campaigns that could benefit from this service.

Zarathud:
I'd be happy if the first two missions are converted to the FSCRP.  They were available and well distributed through the old community mission archive system at Xanadu's and then the Descent Chronicles/Volitionwatch.  The first mission was very important personally and led to a lot of discussion among the community about mission balancing.  The second mission was a way of bringing some early ideas about mission design into play and worked into the old philosophy behind our review system.  Feel free to update for the new features and new player skills as you feel appropriate.  The goal in both missions was to create a feeling of fighting on the razor's edge -- in the old tech transition era before and after the introduction of shield technology.

The third and fourth missions were me trying to advance a story-telling campaign, and aren't much unless someone has an interest in fleshing out the story elements in the last few missions I've listed above.  The campaign fell apart due to technology limitations of the era and my activities in the old community doing mission reviews, editorials and summarizing current events in the news sections of Descent Chronicles/Volitionwatch.  During this campaign, I realized that my focus became on other people's work rather than my own.  And that was enough to make me happy by itself.

The beauty of FRED has always been how you can visualize stories and action, then translate it into the game with a relatively simple mission programming language.  While I'd like to actively participate in finishing the story, I fear I'd feel even more like a dinosaur and probably wouldn't be much help except as a sounding board.  If you're inspired, great.  If not, please tell your own story instead.

I'd consider Ryleh Rising (mission 1), The Queen (GOTY edition solo mission) and Shivan Incursion (GOTY edition multiplayer mission) my best mission designs.  That's even with the possible exploit from delaying participation to let the AI take the punishment in Shivan Incursion.

I'd be happy to take some time to play and edit some missions (maybe a whole campaign :drevil:) I know there's a huge list of campaigns at the campaign section of FSwiki, I just don't know which ones need editing. And just out of curiosity, is there anything else that needs to be done to a picked campaign (texturing ore re-modeling a ship(s) or is it just re-FREDing and bugchecking?

DarthWang:
Is Cthulhu in it?  :nervous:
