Title: Flames of War - help wanted
Post by: TrashMan on December 28, 2005, 05:04:16 pm
Half of my team is missing or out of comission for a while so I need some help.

Not with the actual work - I need imput, ideas and comments.

All models are done, all weapons are done, practicly all misions are done I need ot do 2-3 more misions max to tie up the mission clusters made so far.

What I need is people with whom I can discuss mission design (of hte 3 missions that need to be done and a few more that are allready done but of which I'm unsure if they should be kept the way they are). Testers would allso be welecome...

I can definitely help with bouncing mission details around, and I'm available for testing.

You know when I said that half my team was out of comission. Make that the whole team.

The 2 FREDer's are burried under other projects, the one tester dissapeared after testing 4 missions and the creative help guys pop up ocasionally (alltough in theri case that is enough).

So far I have 23 mission done (or was it 24??)

Now I can finish this campaign myself, but the question is in what way and how fast.

I have enough to just put everything together and make a playable campaign.
OR
I can wait a bit (depends on what you consider a bit) more and make the 3-4 mission that I think should be in (since the 2 freders dissapeared their mission fall back to be again..)
OR
I can get a help from a FREDer or two and have the campaign done FAST. (and I do mean fast)

So if anyone is interested gimme a call.

If you're desperate, I can help you test.  Are you using vanilla FS2 or SCP?

Unfortunately, the point has long since come where I don't have time to FRED (other than fixing preexisting missions).  And even that maybe a bit difficult now that I'm on Linux.  (Haven't tried getting FRED to work in Linux, although FRED_Open seems to be cooperating a bit.)

It's SCP... Alltough I'm not using the latest and most fancy stuff, like cutscenes

I'm not really desperate, but I've been doing EVERYTHING (modeling, FREDing, testing, etc..) myself and ... it kinda starts moving more towards tedious than fun after a while...

I can put the missions through the paces then.  Is there a link?

If you'd like me to actually help fix bugs, it'd be good to know what FRED2_Open build you're using too.

Register on Hades Combine and I'll give you internal acess to FOW forums.

in there you'll find links to all the missions, models and everything else you need.


As for FREd I'm using two builds: fred2_open_r-20050929.exe   and   FRED2_open_r-20051016.exe.

I've been meaning to get the latest CVS versions as soon as they update it.
