Title: Single mission in progress (screenies)
Post by: Tiara on June 04, 2003, 12:54:22 pm
Well, I'm using this mission to apply as Fredder for Inferno, but since it won't be used for any official project I'm just posting some screenies ;) the mission is in the beta test fase (already found a victim for that :p).

:D

(I died 4 times before I succefully completed the mission myself. I lowered the difficulty somewhat :p)

When was the last time anyone released a single mission, anyway?

Dunno.  It should happen more often.  This situation is perfect - make a mission to apply to be on a campaign, and then release it to the rest of the community. :nod:

I made a mission a while back. I posted it but it died without comment, and now I've deleted it becuase I thought nobody would ever care. I hope you're all happy *cries*

Indeed, very happy, sah!

I make the occasional mission, but never release 'em because I use too many mods.

Well this was it, I was just using the base FS2 stuff. I wanted to come up with something short and entertaining using only the tools FS2 gives you.

It wasn't a bad mission, actually. You and a wing of Vasudans were sent to capture an NTF C3 frigate lurking in some asteroids. I shouldn't have deleted it :sigh:

You mean, deleted it from your own computer? :(

Can you find where you posted it on the forum?

Jeez T, you go all out when you make missions :p

I released one, quite a while back. It was for FS1 though. And I actually built Operation: Underground around the premise I had come up with for the mission.

Deus Ex Machina was originally one big mission. :nod:

Fortunes of War started out as a single mission, and is now a 30-odd mission campaign that's hibernating a wee bit at the moment. ;)

The premise of FoW still makes me wonder... :p

It's kinda the original FS1 campaign told from a different perspective, with some more cool stuff thrown in. :nod:

Yea, the most confusing part would be the whole second Lucifer deal. The second Lucifer was in Derelict :p ;)

Nice screenies.  Cool beams.  Stuff blows up. :yes:

I can't really say more until I play it, but it looks polished and well done. :nod:

I never really realized, but on those screenshots it really shows...
the view is really cluttered by a lot of crap!
that HUD is really terrible :/
all those gauges take twice the place they need, etc...

Remember that these screenies are smaller then in-game. In game the space between the hud displays is larger and thus your screen is less cluttered.

I presume you mean the gameport. If not that could be your problem.

Have you tried connecting it via USB? (Assuming you have USB).

Everybody dies once. :) But then forever.
Your four deaths were surely of the the powerfullness of the Ursa. Apparently, not the best flight craft. Did fighters take you down or cruiser/installation etc?

I usually died when I was targeted by the AAA turrets of 2 cruisers, the station and a deimos at the same time.

Look it up. :)

Hebrews 9:27 (NIV) (http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?passage=HEB+9&language=english&version=NIV) - "[M]an is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment..."

Everybody dies once. :nod:
