Title: Yay!!.. My first (kinda) big project
Post by: jdjtcagle on March 22, 2004, 10:22:34 pm: Ok, I have redone all original fs2 mission's (and loop missions) stars to how they are supossed to be!!!:D

Very short download time - and its a VP, so ust put it in your main Fs2 directory and enjoy;)

Post by: karajorma on March 23, 2004, 03:58:50 am: You're link is incorrect. It should be http://swooh.com/peon/jdjtcagle/Fs2_missions.exe

What have you changed anyway?

Post by: jdjtcagle on March 23, 2004, 07:26:57 am: Ok, later I'll have pics
For now I changed the star's color and added another star at Capella. But everything is corrected in all missions.
Sounds good lightspeed:)
couldn't think of anything else to change? So If you find anything let me know.

Sounds like a good idea. I notice though that you haven't used my campaign file (the one in the media.vp) does this one play the cutscenes if you have them as avi files?
Title: Yay!!.. My first (kinda) big project
Post by: jdjtcagle on March 23, 2004, 10:53:00 am: yes, it should because I didn't change anything except the background
EDIT: if you mean there were another version of the Freespace missions in the VP, then I didn't think to look.
So when I get out of school I'll edit them to play AVIs:)

Post by: karajorma on March 23, 2004, 12:08:58 pm: If you didn't change the campaign file at all simply don't include one in the .vp :D That way it will use whichever one it finds :D
Title: Yay!!.. My first (kinda) big project
Post by: jdjtcagle on March 23, 2004, 01:01:09 pm: Now, I know what your talking about.
I'll take the campaign file out of there ASAP (wish I would of thought of that).
So does everything work ok with you all??:)
Title: Yay!!.. My first (kinda) big project
Post by: jdjtcagle on March 23, 2004, 03:56:09 pm: Ok, all patched up... So download now;)
Everything should work fine and I want lightspeed to remember the fact that Freespace 2 doesn't take place in many different places. maybe five sets of nebula's would cover the entire campaign, so when your ready, we should put these nebula's in
Title: Yay!!.. My first (kinda) big project
Post by: Lightspeed on March 23, 2004, 04:27:38 pm: I'm aiming at roughly 7-8 sets.

4 are currently done, and I have stuff ready for the next two.
Title: Yay!!.. My first (kinda) big project
Post by: jdjtcagle on March 23, 2004, 04:29:37 pm: Ok, I'll count how many systems are played in Fs2 and I'll PM ya.

Post by: karajorma on March 23, 2004, 07:15:58 pm: Looks good but isn't Sirius B a bit big?

Well I suppose you can always say that it's at a closer point in it's oribit :D

Post by: karajorma on March 24, 2004, 05:25:49 am: I can't see any harm in it and since Lighty is going to have to redo the backgrounds with his new nebs I see no good reason not to use these missions as a starting point :)

Post by: Solatar on March 24, 2004, 03:51:08 pm: We need to get some new sun backgrounds to match. :D
Title: Yay!!.. My first (kinda) big project
Post by: Lightspeed on March 24, 2004, 04:22:07 pm: Too bad I already made some (actually just finished them yesterday) :p

I'm just waiting for the stars.tbl issue to get fixed, then you'll get some serious release-explosion ;)

However, I can already tell my suns will be a "hate it or love it" thingy as they completely depend on personal preference.

Post by: Trivial Psychic on March 24, 2004, 04:47:17 pm: You gonna get back weapons after completing the Nebula & such?
Title: Yay!!.. My first (kinda) big project
Post by: Lightspeed on March 24, 2004, 05:02:20 pm: Yep.

I have completed some new weapon stuff but not enough to make up for a release.

The next weapon release you'll see prolly will be finished primary weapons. After that, i'll finish off missiles, then beams.

Then last but not least, i'm making a multiplayer-friendly version of them (only graphic references changed) - Which can then be validated.

Post by: Trivial Psychic on March 24, 2004, 05:09:06 pm: You also gonna redo turret weapons?
Title: Yay!!.. My first (kinda) big project
Post by: Lightspeed on March 24, 2004, 06:08:59 pm: of course. :)

Post by: Black Wolf on March 26, 2004, 08:21:47 am: Hurm.... Doesn't Snipes say Binary sysstems give him the creeps? It kind of strikes me that a remark like that would suggest these systems are singles in FS Canon...

So, he must have not grow up around Binary systems;)

Post by: Zarax on March 30, 2004, 04:36:08 pm: There are really few binaries that can support planets, and even fewer where life would be possible... So it's very likely...
