Title: What do you want ?
Post by: madaboutgames on March 25, 2007, 07:50:15 am
A new campaign will be available for 3.4 in 2 weeks.  But Im not giving anything away until the trailer is released one day before the release of the campaign :)

I just want to live long enough to be there when they cut off your head and stick it on a pike, as a warning to the next 10 generations that some favors come with too high a price. I want to look into your lifeless eyes and wave like this.....

*wink* *wink* *wink*

your missions keep crashing on my system.

NEVER ask that question. :lol:

I want storyline. Doesn't matter what kind of, if it's done well and missions are good.

...So, BHX asks "Who are you?" and now you ask this... I wonder, when will we have "Where are you going to?"

I always thought "why are you here" was the next question in the progression but maybe I'm sick.  :shaking:

Am I the only one who wants an alien invasion, maybe the one from A Call to Arms?
Most of the votes went to lots of dead people. Now we know the answer to "why are you here?" :D

I never meant them to be asked in the order they appear in the series, but I checked anyway... Lorien's question was indeed "Why are you here", but the Final question was "Where are you going."

But, as "Why are you here" seems to have been answered, the final question is what remains. :)

A game won't hold my attention if the storyline is dumb and illogical... I want some drama!

Naah... Story writing is the easy part. And fun too. I used to fred for my self, and then I slapped the missions in to MitM. Then I decided to try to write some backbone in to it, for real forward planning like. I found myself on fire and wrote the worlds most bestest campaign evar!

Too bad I can't FRED it though... :(
Edit: I had further thoughts about this... Any of the modders have news about the Cotton? If not, then screw it and I'll slit my wrists. But if you've had thoughts about it the please tell me...

Prophet, you wrote Movements in the Mist?  I tried that once, you're right, you can't FRED too well... find someone to do it for you, or get better at it.  I liked what little I could play of it.  :yes:

It's not the problem with FREDing. Believe it or not, I can FRED pretty decently (nowdays).
I was about to release a reworked version of it for 3.3. But it was lost in the turmoil that was now computer arriving and old HD crashing on the same week...

And MitM2 would have been released already if I had that Cotton, and a decent satellite. Unfortunatley chances of them being modelled are next to nothing. Add the fact that they are not deemed as important warshipsultrakillerroxxorz of doom, so they won't even have the table space. So thats it. I could perhaps replace the cotton. But there is only one alternative, and I'm hesitant to use it. And it would require texture modifications.

Anyway jr2, what else what bad about MitM? I know people whined the first mission was boring. And I know about the crahs after mission 4. That leaves the optional mission 2, and the 3rd where you disable the hyperion. I never got any feedback from the campaign in general.

Hmph.  Now I'll have to go play it again... Should I try it on Babylon 3.4 BETA, or 3.3a, 3.2, which version?  I forget which one was supposed to be used... then again, maybe you want to make it compatible with 3.4 so it'll be ready.

PS Here's the file, let me know if you already have it, so I can delete this one.

Considering that it was made during the dark ages of R1, I have no idea if it would work. Theoretically it could, but I think much has changed since then...

Don't bother trying just for me. I'll see if I can reconstruct the campaign in new 3.4 glory. Shouldn't take too long if I have the time and peace I need...

But thanks for the file. I had lost the original in some of my numerous HD crashes. It's like meeting a long lost friend. :)

Well looks like most of you will get "What you want" but you are you still wondering "who are you??"

Hmm, who am I? I am a human in the service of a gov't not in the B5 universe. I think that is enough for that question.

But when do we get to the real questions: "What is your name? What is your quest? What is your favorite color?"? :D

Don't forget "What... is the capital of Assyria?" and the ever so immortal "What... is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?" :drevil:

Never ask that question!

Better storyline could be good...

Would that be an African or European swallow?
