Plot development progress:
Burrowing things from:
-War movies like Black Hawn Down.
-the reality, like "los piquetes" from my country (Argentina) [willy gets a little sad, and angry at the same time]

What's the filename of the FRED giving you this problem?

It sorta sounds like a debug build that goes through all your files and tells you if there's a problem with something. I wouldn't worry too too much about some of the stuff it complains about.

FRED complains about EVERYTHING :D i dont worry at all anymore :)

Post by: Axem on December 08, 2004, 09:50:38 pm
Well, FRED may complain about the obvious (Yes I know player isn't Alpha Wing), but it knows a missing semicolon or field when it sees one. Makes debugging tables a ton easier.

FOr the rest of the modded ships...they appear in the FS_OPEN...and in the game itself...they give me no problems (the only thing is that when i put all of them in the same mission fighting off with a Sathanas, i get 7-10 FPS)

Could you do me a favor...
I can't get the GTCv Ajax to launch the StarShaker Torpedoes...
I didn't modified anything, neither the model or the table...............HELP
Title: Homeworlds Campaign... ... ... HELP!
Post by: willy_principal on December 13, 2004, 03:22:33 pm
well.........i modified the table, to add the entry for the ship............
ONE DETAIL...the orginal entry says that the POF file is named "Ajax2.pf"........that's an error......is called "Ajax.pof"............
Fixed that problem...but the Starshaker Torpedoes.....do not fire............WHY???

Post by: willy_principal on December 14, 2004, 10:17:57 am
hm......................i don't think that's the problem...

BTW: Have you tried the GTCv Ajax, it's awesomely powerful...on an head engagement, it destroyed a Demon.
I also tested a battle against a Ravana...but the Ajax blew up when the Ravana had 15% of its hull integrity...

pece, this is how the sayin goes: "It's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum...but I'm all outta gum."
Or: "It's time to kick ass and take some names...without takin' the names." Courtesy of Duke Nukem 3D and Deer Avenger 4.

willy_principal, send me your tbl file, tell me what's wrong, and I'll change it around for you... [EDIT] Check your tbl. look for the Ajax and look at it's POF listing.

there's your problem. a capital ship can't have too many secondaries or it gets screwed up. put the starshakers at like 100-500.

:wtf: Capships always have unlimited secondary ammo.

Post by: Cobra on December 19, 2004, 02:01:51 am
i know. but you have to put the limit to like 100 and then it will be unlimited. It was a problem i faced when i created a science vessel with beam cannons and hornets and tornadoes.

Post by: willy_principal on December 19, 2004, 09:31:20 pm
i don't think that's the problem......
it haves ~8 turrets firing cruiser missiles. (these turrets do fire, and very well)
other three fires StarShaker torpedoes (but they don't fire)

I have stopped all mission progress in this campaign...
and the three mission i had...i trashed them...

The reason?...
Every night before i sleep...i grab a pen i write new ideas for my campaign plot...
Recently...a brand new idea came up in my mind...that would change all of the campaign's plot...and i would need somebody else help to make it...
So...

I will redirect my efforts into a smaller project:
Battle Of Beta Aquilae Campaign
It will serve as a MOD test and FRED test.
It will be short...around 10 missions....may be 15....but not more...
It's plot won't be much original...but it's missions will be fast and furious....(what i wanted to say with this...it's unclear to me...)

:wtf: dude, prioritize. you're doing 2 campaigns at once, you started your campaign RIGHT AFTER you joined up with Pathways, now you're putting HW on hold. you're gonna be up all night every night.

Post by: willy_principal on December 30, 2004, 02:45:32 pm
It's not so much...
In HomeWorlds, the only thing i do is to develop the plot. (half an hour per day)
In Battle Of Beta Aquilae, i will test my FREDdig skills and test the MODs i will use (or most of them) in HomeWorlds...

and...i started to develop HomeWorlds' plot two weeks before i joined up Pathways...
All the MOD testing started after i joined up to Pathways...

Third Shivan Invasion...yes..............i told you the plot is quite simple and little original (BTW...what's LAME?...i have a general idea of what LAME is....but no completely sure of it)

checked your site...it's...........well.............too simple...
I would recommend you to use FrontPage (to make webpages)...it's very east to use...
(Whatch out when adding buttons, themes, and stuff...they make loading times longer and i really never liked them...just put your efforts in make the web easy to navigate)

don't know it, never heard of it. the reason it's so simple is due to the fact PageBuilder wouldn't start. just gimme the link to the program or something, then i can make my site something better for all to enjoy.
