Raa was making a mission for two days, for the hell of it.
However, when Raa makes certain changes to the mission, involving weapons loadout, ship orders, or debriefing comments, FRED ignore them, on save. And FS2 ignores the custom wing name, despite it being listed in the wing name box.....
:hopping:
I was hoping to show this off in a better state, but here. Bugs and all. This is why I don't fred. Especially when fred is a pile of steaming crap. :hopping:
-
In the mission specs box you've called the players wing name Tuarin but in the wing name you've called it Taurin.
Correcting the name in the mission specs editor didn't solve the problem but selecting all three ships and clicking on the form wing option reformed the wing and allowed me to save without error. :)
No idea about the other problems though. I never encountered them either before or after fixing the wing name problem.
-
My eyes must be playing tricks on me, since I could have sworn I had them spelled alike.
Well, it figures I caused my own problem. But other things, such as ship orders, and weapons loadouts didn't stick after saving. Also, I tested one of my briefing's recomendation text, and it was cut short. Is there a limit on recomendation text length?
-
Ok, so I'm a fool. I seem to have fixed most of my troubles... let me test it, and I'll attach it for you lot to tear to shreds and remind me why I don't FRED. :D

That's what they all say in the beggining :drevil:
Soon....FRED shall get you in due time comrade :drevil:

Why is Raa speaking of himself in the third person in the first post? :rolleyes:
-
Why shouldn't he? Raa isn't amused by aldo's ramblings :p
-
Indeed, Caeser wrote in the third person. You see it would add to a writers objectivity, because only Fergus would be wise enough to post this.
-
Just as only Raa would do as he did.
-
Blitzerland is confused, but at least his name is stupid.
-
Anaz dispises FRED with a passion, and dislikes going near it.

This is your second post?! Makes me wonder what the first was. :D
Anyways, back on topic. Er, the first topic.

Post it, Raa. We promise not to laugh at whatever feeble helping of grain you push at us. My Inferno campaign, which I created a year or two ago, was a major flop, so I can relate with failure. Your mission probably won't be bad at all, in fact, you're probably only saying that to get our expectations down. Then, you'll blow us away with something incredible. :p
Wait. You've already posted it.
*plays mission*
All messages come from "command," even though they're being sent from fighters?! No background?! Barely any events?! Misleading messages ("The cain is ahead," it's a moloch!)?!
Huh. It's about three hundred times better than my first mission.
-
and off topic for one last post
This is your second post?! Makes me wonder what the first was.
ask and you shall recieve: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,31425.0.html
(sry for the link, the post was to long to quote :p )
now we may return to the original topic :drevil:
-
lol.
The emssages show how the mission evolved. The Sobek killed the cain in one shot first time.
The newer version should fix the wingmen errors, and stuffs.
The background is gone, yeah. I'm too lazy to do one proper.
I've kinda given up on this so, if you want the final product, then here...
I think it's this one... >.> I made three copies for some stupid reason
-
Grug knew that third person posts were going to be recieved by Raa as soon as Grug read the first post. :p
Grug wonders if fred mission has any custom ships in it? *Hint*
-
Raa denies knowledge of anything.
-
Ephili D\l's Raa's S mission . F s 2
-
So... anyone pick it apart, yet? :p
-
Um, you sure you want nitpicking? Well, okay. If any of the following offends you, let me know, and I'll downgrade it to "Polite, Constructive Advice." That said, here's your nitpicking. :p
[cruel honesty] The briefing is short, the in-game messages are outright lies, and once the Shivan corvette goes down, there isn't even a victory message or a return to base message. Your only enemy is a single wing of Maras. No background, no nothing.
The wing name is annoying, and makes it hard to keep track of your wingmates in battle. Furthermore, how come the vasudan corvette doesn't fire beams until it's just about ready to collide with the Moloch? Huh? Tell us, Raa!
Finally, there isn't any difference between the first and second verison. Huh? Why is that Raa? I HATE YOU, RAA! I HATE YOU![/cruel honesty]
Uh, ignore that last paragraph. Urm... :nervous:
Uh...er...I blame the school systems.
-
The messages are lies? How so?
Taurin wing arrives.
Command acknowledges.
Thut claims to take control.
Eventually a Ravana enters. And the Thut says so.
Thut is eventually destroyed, and taurin wingmate pulls a captain obvious.
I don't care that you don't like the wing name. :p
The Corvette isn't supposed to attack until either you are ~500m from the corvette, or the enemy wing is destroyed.
Why? I dunno. I felt like doing that. :p
There should be a difference between the versions.
And the briefing is short because I gave up mid stream :p
-
The messages are lies because they talk about a "cain," not a "moloch."
[brutal honesty] It's a corvette, Raa! A corvette! [/brutal honesty]
Dang, I did it again, didn't I? Slap me if I do that again. Please.
:nervous:
The Ravana never jumped in for me. What are its arrival conditions?
-
Umm. The message names should refer to a cain, but the messages themselves whould say Moloch.
The Ravana is supposed to jump in randomly when the moloch hits 20-45% hull.
