Ladies and Gentlemen,
The campaign Into the Halls of Valhalla (ITHOV), reported dead earlier, has been ressurected and is under development by me. Momentarly, I am playing the yet completed missions to see what I need to fix on them and discover what happened before the missions I am going to FRED. For a foretaste, here are some screenshots. Thanks for MatthewPapa for making my FTP work again. If it hadn't been for him, I would be forced to do a dirty triple post with attachments. :D

The campaign consists of 26 missions(not including red alert ones) and will use some mods. Which ones, you will not know until it gets released.
Given the fact I have still much to do and ressurecting ITHOV is a recent idea, I daren't say anything for sure about a release date.
I hope to finish it this year, unless major changes happen.
Help requests:
(none as of this moment)
Questions, if there are any, are welcome.

Read the help request and take the conclusion. :)

What is the storyline?
The campaign follows the events of the well-known Derelict and Police Action, which I released about half a year ago (available from here (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,24259.0.html)) Play it and you will know the half of the antecedent. After it, Lieutenant McCrae(Alpha 1) was sent to a far system Tania Austrailis alongside with two oher pilots, Lieutenant Commander McNamara and Lieutenant Yssym(Vasudan), who were 'banished' for various reasons. The campaign works up this assignment. At first you will encounter and fight pirates, but later in the campaign the Shivans will also arrive.
This is the main outline, the plotline is more complicated, of course.

Positive feedback is much appreciated.

I could probably get to editing for you. I'm already FREDing for nuclear, but I don't see why editing is such a hard job. Just keep me in mind.
-
I would like to FRED it on my own. Kietotheworld has already contacted me in regards to the help request, but if you are a native speaker, you are welcome.
[Should be below InfernoGod's post]

Yeah, that's what I meant. That was kinda unclear, sorry :).

Derelict is the one to do with the Nyarlathotep isnt it? but im not sure of the ITHOV storyline, i take it your still the same squad of people though with the masking taped ships? lol
-
As far as grammar check and stuff goes... just one thing I see already.
In that last screenshot, it should be "Beta 1: Thank God" not "Thanks the God".
-
IIRC ITHOV was an unofficial sequal to Deralict.
-
ok....whats the basic storyline though?
-
If you are still looking for help with grammer, i could probably lend a hand.
-
No help requests are needed from now. InfernoGod and kietotheworld will be helping me.

Does the prequel campaign require Open? I keep getting "Mission Failed to Load"
-
Police Action?
I only tested those missions, in FreeSpace Open. I also made a lot of modifications, also in FRED_Open, so I guess I made it inaccessible for Retail.
If it says Mission failed to load, it does not mean that it requires FSO. Have you just recently downloaded Police Action?
-
Yeah, 10 mins before I posted, I also couldn't look at them in FRED (I wanted to see if it was something specific or not, but the missions wouldn't load thee either).
-
Use FSO, then.
