Title: RELEASE::: Drums Of War 2
Post by: 0rph3u5 on July 05, 2007, 04:52:59 pm: The drums are being played again. The song of war rises and you have the chance to join the pilots of the Narn Destroyer Vol'toth again...

White Omega Presents
An 0rph3u5' campaign
DRUMS OF WAR 2

Previously in Drums Of War:
It is 2262 - A Narn battlegroup lead by the Dreadnaught T'Jad has invaded the Centauri System Quadrant 32. After the initial assault the crew and pilots of the destroyer Vol'toth uncover a dark truth - the involvement of a new player into the galatic struggle between the Interstellar Alliance and the Centauri...
Now the Vol'toth has to warn the others but will they have chance to deliver their message? Will dark forces try to hinder them in their duty?

Requirements:
TBP Final
FS_Open 3.6.9 build

That's what you get for declaring deadlines ;)
(comment on delaying the release by 7 days)

Indeed, according to my CPU Clock (and that is the one which matters) I'm 15 minutes ahead of "Release on 6th July" :lol: :lol:

do you use a pop-up blocker?
it might cause that problem

Post by: starbug on July 09, 2007, 01:31:15 pm: I doubled checked the pop-up blocker and its switched off as is my firewall, anti-virus and spybot because i thought they might cause problem, but even with it all switched off the window just close's.

Post by: uh101 on July 13, 2007, 02:00:18 pm: Any tips for completing the first mission lol?

I disabled the centauri battlecruisers engines hoping the narn ship would be able to get out of range of the battlecruiser but it was still able to destroy my narn ship? I know I should be destroying the centauri fighters but using the keyboard to destory them to proving impossible lol ;)

Post by: IPAndrews on July 25, 2007, 05:09:17 am: Drums of War 2 was great, just like th eprevious installment. Orph, when the final installment is done make a complete release. Maybe add some voice acting, and at that point I think you should HLP highlight it.

DoW 3 will have a lot of new features to show off and I'll transplant them onto the other two parts once it is done

Voice Acting will be must have since I'm going to alter message.tbl for DoW 3 in order to make real narn wingmates avalible (done - but not tested yet)...

Just don't override the existing ones and turn every wingman in every mission into a Narn :)

Mod-feature should be working with a right installation and I can make my own mod.inis for that purpose - - guess the rest...

BTW I've figured out that I'll release Part III seperately and than make an all over release of all three parts squashed together with VA and altered .tbls

(I've heared around the place that adding new entires like wingmen to the messages.tbl is NOT safe - so I just added the "+Narn"-flag (corresondant to the "+Vasudan"-flag on Vasudan wingmen in retail FS2 tbl) to wingmen 7 & 8 and gave Command, Support X and Wingmen 7 & 8 Narn faces (sort of))
