Please, Please...Please :nod: :nod:

Ask Kazan to post up what remains of it....
-
Actually I might have the file. How do I send you the file? I have other campaigns too from the days of Voltion Watch. :pimp:
-
Post it at www.filefront.com
-
I found it myself. I did enough table fixes so that no debug errors are thrown. I tested it by opening the first mission and seeing that it did not crash instantly. If you want any more work done than this, you will need to be willing to provide testing and help.

There was a problem with the original campaign file that wouldn't allow you to use the Q-W-G bomb.
I've attached an updated campaign file.

Thanks, Macfie.
This campaign will really require quite a bit more work. The custom models are all very old and most of them are broken. All would need to be replaced. I haven't played any missions, but I imagine that given that this campaign was an incomplete alpha there will be many mission bugs. If the community wants this, people will need to step up to help.
-
I wrote up some notes on the campaign somewhere because there were some problems with the missions that if you didn't play them a certain way you couldn't complete the campaign. I'll look for them and if I can find them I'll post them here.
-
I'm getting the file :)
IMO we need to work on our current level of organization by hiring more people and coordinating our work in a better way. We could work on multiple campaigns simultaneously(ex. testers work on S:AH while FREDders make changes to UA and modders upgrade UA's stuff).
Is it possible to have a website, something like www.fscrp.hard-light.net? Oh, and the badge...
-
Some direction would be useful. I'd get stuck into S:AH if I knew who was testing what so that I don't waste time testing something needlessly.
-
Actually, S:AH has to be tested completely. I made many changes throught the four campaigns and didn't have time to test them.
Uhm, UA's ships really need to be upgraded.
-
All the UA ships would have to be replaced. A 100 poly _cruiser_??? :)
The shielded capships have screwed up shield meshes, and one model has 'turret18' and not 'hull' as the top of the hierarchy!
-
Well I'm not a modeller :nervous:
-
I have highspeed internet but my Kaspersky Antivirus won't let me download anything from FileFront. Could you please put another mirror please...please...please :shaking: :shaking:

Can your e-mail handle a 4B attachment? I can mail it to the address in your profile.
I wouldn't create any new models for UA, just take existing ones and replace what is included here.
-
I have Outlook Express 6.0 for my email. Can you find my email address? I'd hate to post it for just anyone to see. But yeah, if it will work, email it to me. And thanks for the favor. :nod: :nod:
-
Your e-mail is visible to anyone who checks your profile. I have mailed it to that address.
-
Thanks, I got it :D :D

Speaking of the asteroids...
...what should we do with them? Can we simply pick up asteroids coming straight from the Media VPs and make them larger?

The Shivan asteroids will need something special.

That'd be a problem...

Hi
New here but i've been playing FS2 retail for 8 years now. I've got a fair few old campaigns off the net over the years including this one. I don't mind doing all the spell and grammar checking but that is the limit of my skills with fred 2.
Let me know if you want me to carry on - i've already done 3 missions and i'll post the updated vp up when finished.
-
:welcomesilver:
Welcome to the HLPBB!!! :D
Go ahead and let us know about your progress... ;)
-
:bump:
Ok a progress update, i've been through the files twice now to correct all the spelling & grammar and i'm nearly finished - i keep finding the odd one that i've missed. I have a problem with mission's 43 & 44 though - it keeps telling me that i'm missing some mssion/ship data - i'll work on this over the next couple of weeks to see if i can sort it, i also need to patch admiral nelsons updated table files into the vp and test a few missions to make sure i haven't broken something else, then i'll get it uploaded - hopefully by the end of may
-
Shouldn't we work together on it? :)
-
What does the error about missing some ship/mission data say though?
-
There is also a campaign called League of Free Worlds that uses the UA mods that we might also want to take a look at. There was also a problem with the Ships table and the
Q-W-G bomb. I think it wasn't included as an allowed weapon for the bomber.
-
League of Free Worlds? From Colony Wars...?
-
Shouldn't we work together on it? :)
Sure - no problem at all but my fredding skills are extremely limited, by way of using admiral nelson patched table files i meant that i was using my original file from volition watch back from 2000 and hadn't seen that he had dome some table fixes to help improve stability back in april last year.
IIRC this alpha was incomplete in terms of the number of missions i thought i remebered reading that it was supposed to be 68 missions long - is this true or did the campaign get cut short, either way we have a lot of work to do to get this stable and ready for release.
-
What does the error about missing some ship/mission data say though?
Not a lot i'm afraid its comes up with the brief message about "Fred encountered unknown ship/weapon classes when parsing the mission file. this may be due to mission data you do not have". I looked at the missions with notepad and alpha wing is supposed to be flying a new class of fighter - the GTF ferret but there is no model or table entry in the vp for it so that would all need to be recreated from scratch.
With regards to the table problems - i found them hit and miss, if you tinkered with the tbl files in any way (eg added ships/weapons from several mods into one master file) you never got the fighter laser, tactical laser or Q-W-G bomb but if you used a vanilla set from the UA vp you sometimes got lucky but there were no guarantees either way, some times you did, sometimes you didn't and sometimes the game threw a hissy fit and dumped you back at the desktop.
Other problems i have encountered are mainly limited to goals so far - a lot of missions don't have any secondary or bonus goals - not sure if this was intentional or they were due to be added as the mod neared completion. There is also mention of some UA voice files in some of the briefing dialog boxes and i can't locate them anywhere either.

League of Free Worlds? From Colony Wars...?
I don't know. I never played Colony Wars but here is the Info from the campaign.
Part 1. Gallonigher system. Since 3095 AD, the Earth empire has spread throughout the universe like a sickness. No planet or lifeform is immune to this disease; indeed, vast tracts of the universe have already been renderd sterile by its progress. The empire's power is formidable. Dedicated to sustaining life on earth. it has colonised planet after planet with scant regard to the freedom of the local population or the well-being of the environment. Vicious methods are employed in persuit of this relentless expansion; this has resulted in widespread famine, drought and death. The League Of Free Worlds exists to offer resistance and hope.
-
MAJOR :bump:
I've finished as much as i can and have play tested the first 4 missions which seem to be a lot more stable these days (probably thanks to admiral nelson's work on the tables). I've been through the missions at least 5 times now so there shouldn't be any errors in spelling/grammar.
Now the hard bit - i've tried uploading the file to freespacemods.net 4 times but it still hasn't shown up as a download - i don't think i've done anything wrong but does anyone else want to try - i can send them the file but be warned its a 5meg rar with the vp pack included
