Title: SOC: Operation Otara preview
Post by: Sandwich on July 10, 2001, 06:03:00 pm
I will be opening to the general FS2 public a special preview of SOC: Operation Otara very soon. This preview has gotten good reports from the limited release it has already seen. Watch this space for more info very soon (24-48 hours).

SNIPES you...! *sigh*  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/rolleyes.gif) Oh, whatevers... Yes folks, I'm going to release the first few missions of the campaign.

However, this is most definitely a beta test. The missions are as complete as I can make them without spending a month replaying each mission looking for bugs.
They are quite complex from the SEXP point of view, and there is a lot of interaction between the missions' events. So what I need is people who are willing to play the missions (the first three, as Snipes already gave away...  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif) ) a number of times and give me as much honest and constructive feedback as your fingers can handle.

Currently I am not going to put the missions up for download. I do not want or need people downloading them and not returning any feedback. What I am going to do is ask that anyone interested send me an email to [email protected] . This will ensure that I can get in touch with you for feedback.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif) I will then email you the ZIP’ed missions (~42kb) within 24 hours.

What I would like to see is at least 10-15 people sending me requests to participate in the beta testing. I would also like to see those people playing through the missions 10-20 times.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif) However, it is your life and your time, and I most definitely cannot force anything upon anyone.

If you have comments that would be of interest to the community as well as to me, by all means post them either here or on my forum ("http://www.hiddenterrorbb.f2s.com/bb/forumdisplay.php?s=ec7b3c140ece526115157259f2d804c1&forumid=5") under the Beta Testing topic.

So if you are interested, please email me at the above address. All help will be greatly appreciated.

Sorry dude, I'm not too familiar with SEXP's. I don't make missions so if there was a bug it would take me a long time to identify what was causing it. That and I'm not the best of freespace pilots (I rely on extreme accuracy a la xwing, something I could never get with FS).

No need to identify the cause - that's my job. Just report the bug/problem.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

As for not being the best of pilots... neither am I.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif) Besides, if it really is too hard for someone to beat, i probably should tune it down.
