Re-naming and redirecting all discussion regarding our upcoming campaign to here.

Also announcing that we have our own forums, temporary for the time being, until we get our own website , which I am in the progress of creating.

VC, I think we should get hosting on SG because not many people would go to that forum. I'm sure I wouldn't frequent it a lot.

Erm.......you don't make sense.

Anyway, we have a new fighter developed.


New Alien Fighter. (These are designed to swarm the player. They're no bigger then an Anubis, but as you can guess, much sleeker and faster, and pack a wallop.

Some new news guys.

We've got 2 new members, Takashi and akenbosch. Takashi is a skilled modeller and skinner, and akenbosch is a skilled FRED'er. Give them a warm welcome.  :D

I'm going to start laughing now.

If it was, it was a good one.

I will test this mission and then request access if it is deemed satisfactory. :P

Geez can you make a mission compatible with no-mods fs2?
Title: Re: Destruction
Post by: akenbosch on August 05, 2007, 05:43:22 pm
why? regular fs2 doesent have much of a ship selection for me to work with...
Title: Re: Destruction
Post by: GenericCorvette on August 05, 2007, 06:12:28 pm
It would have helped a bit if you told us that your mission was made for TBP.

And yea, I'd like to know "how much bosh can a bosch beer bosch if a bosch could drink bosch beer?".
Title: Re: Destruction
Post by: Vasudan Commander on August 05, 2007, 08:02:57 pm
To answer your questions:-


Takashi will be joining us. He can model, regardless of whatever strife he's gotten into on the forums.

I hope there won't be any problems with that.

After reflection, and discussion with the CURRENT team members (that is, myself, Snail, Hades and GenericCorvette), we have reached agreement that Takashi and akenbosch will NOT be joining our team.

I understand the situation looks bad, and it is a messy decision on my part, but as with all things in life, it will be learnt from.

Just get us a good mission and we'll consider. One compatible with FS2 with no mods, since I don't have TBP (at least not on this computer).

If by modeling you mean making a rectangle and sticking a ****load of sticks with round turrets on it, then sure. :P

What was the last thing he tried to model, again?
Title: Re: Destruction
Post by: Snail on August 06, 2007, 11:40:16 am
What was the last thing he tried to model, again?

ULTRASUPERMEGA JUGGERNAUT WITH 37,000 polies!!

SO MANY POLIES!!!

SO MANY WASTED POLIES!!!

Seriously, what he did was that he took a cube, subdivided it a million times and then moved the points around.
Title: Re: Destruction
Post by: akenbosch on August 06, 2007, 03:47:03 pm
what was that? a year ago?
Title: Re: Destruction
Post by: Cobra on August 06, 2007, 03:59:42 pm
Uh, no. Try about 2-4 months. :P

[EDIT] Wasn't that "juggernaut" a big-ass spiky thing?

okay, lets stay on topic here.
Title: Re: Destruction
Post by: Snail on August 08, 2007, 06:30:50 am
If akenbosch wants to be on the team, he must submit a mission that is worthy of note.
Title: Re: Destruction
Post by: akenbosch on August 08, 2007, 10:32:27 pm
i present to you, a weapon and a small (and VERY short) mission. enjoy.

Title: Re: Destruction
Post by: Snail on August 09, 2007, 06:39:27 am
Testing results:

Ok... That weapon was pretty fun, but I wouldn't use it in a campaign. May have some plot use, though. :D

But... Your mission was crap.
Title: Re: Destruction
Post by: akenbosch on August 09, 2007, 01:47:23 pm
hey, i only had an hour to make it and no plotline whatso ever to base it off of. the TBP mission was better, so i guess i could convert that to fs2 and give it to you.
Title: Re: Destruction
Post by: Snail on August 09, 2007, 01:58:02 pm
That mission was more like a 10 minute job... No briefing, no debriefing, no objectives, no bgs, no chatter... What?
Title: Re: Destruction
Post by: akenbosch on August 09, 2007, 05:11:20 pm
thats about all the things i suck at...chatter, breifngs, debriefings, and bgs.
Title: Re: Destruction

We're still hiring, BTW.
Title: Re: Destruction

well, theres my weapon, this small update to the mission, or my other weapon.
Title: Re: Destruction
Post by: Snail on August 09, 2007, 05:37:32 pm
Functional, but still not beta tested.
Title: Re: Destruction
Post by: akenbosch on August 09, 2007, 06:06:29 pm
most of the bugs are fixed, but i had to remvoe the RTB for the time beign since it wasnt working
Title: Re: Destruction
Post by: Snail on August 10, 2007, 04:49:58 am
A functional mission, but still not a good one. I can point out many errors in that mission:

1) Spelling/Grammar Errors (no capitalization of wing names)
2) The Cruiser Rapier is actually a rebel cruiser, but no biggie.
3) No delay between some waves
4) Still no background
5) No starfield (!!)
6) Briefing tags don't work, sign of not testing
7) Stupid directives "Vaporize xxx" "Cure Cancer"? :wtf:
8) The guest appearance of "Jump Node 0"
9) Zeus bombers aren't even carrying proper warheads
10) Gamma wing's initial orders are to guard the base instead of attack the Rapier
Title: Re: Destruction
Post by: GenericCorvette on August 10, 2007, 07:33:29 am
"Cure Cancer"? :wtf:

Have you ever played Just Another Day 2?
Title: Re: Destruction
Post by: Snail on August 10, 2007, 07:38:21 am
I did. It was funny. But if you're trying to make an actual mission, putting humorous things into it usually isn't on my agenda.

Oh, and BTW, Cure Cancer was a directive in Deus Ex Machina before it was in JAD. :P
Title: Re: Destruction
Post by: akenbosch on August 10, 2007, 03:14:01 pm
no starfield? im fredding WITHOUT the mediavps! not everyone has cruiser01x...
Title: Re: Destruction
Post by: Snail on August 10, 2007, 03:19:03 pm
Still doesn't solve the other 9 problems.
Title: Re: Destruction
Post by: CP5670 on August 10, 2007, 03:21:03 pm
All you have to do is put starfield.pof into the skybox section, so others can use it. You don't actually need the media VPs yourself.
Title: Re: Destruction
Post by: akenbosch on August 10, 2007, 05:06:14 pm
okay, then, here it is. but im still not sticking nebulae all over the place! its unrealistic, and because i lack the ls nebualae, ugly.
Title: Re: Destruction

The Lightspeed Nebulae+the FS2 retail missions who use them (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,48422.0.html)
