:wtf: Could you specify? Silent Threat works, when played with FSPort. Phantoms and Echo Gate work. I think I've played Twilight as well, hmm.

Edit: What's BR?

I have no idea what BR was :X I played it long ago, so... huh

I'll try and write all the errors here.

Silent threat: Made up to the mission where Krios is attacked by pirates. In that one, I don't even get a ship, I just have a black screen and after shifting from krios to "my position", I see the krios die and that's it. I basically spectate the battle.

Echo gate: After having fsport on and going onto the briefing,

Error: Couldn't open mission 'holygrounds.fs2'

File: MissionParse.cpp
Line: 6037


Call stack:

Phantoms:

COW:

I can't remember incursion or twilight tho :(

All of those campaigns (except for Incursion, never played that one) worked absolutely fine for me.

You missed The Second Great War Pt. II. Best, most quality campaign ever.

Are you joking? It's way better than that! It's FreeSpace 3!
Title: Re: Played all the campaigns, recommendations pls

No, it's Return to FreeSpace 4, Silent Threat Rides Again II!

That's an even better title than Shawshank Redemption II: Getting busy living
Title: Re: Played all the campaigns, recommendations pls
Post by: MC_Kejml on June 07, 2008, 12:03:28 pm
Whoa, I forgot about it, I'm definitely going to try it!

But well.. there's something wrong with it.. I mean
"Gtva deciphered a shivan message even if they don't know what it meant, but they are sure it ordered the shivans to attack"
"This mission is plain and simple, but may not be so simple"
like srsly?

It's a bit wrong, but I'll see what's the gameplay.

They're not pirates, but... you know. That sounds a lot like the evil red-alert bug. Try with a 3.6.10 build.

No, it's Return to FreeSpace 4, Silent Threat Rides Again II!
Actually it's The Son of the Return of the Revenge of FreeSpace 4 Rides again II.

Nope, I can't play that. It's just.. odd.

I have the 3.6.10 - that's what I forgot to say. But yea, kinda reminds me of BP (but then, wasnt the spectatiing in BP intentional?)
Title: Re: Played all the campaigns, recommendations pls
Post by: Jeff Vader on June 07, 2008, 12:36:55 pm
I have the 3.6.10
You don't have the 3.6.10; you have a 3.6.10. And the question is: which one? 3.6.10 hasn't experienced an official release yet so there are many builds out there.
Title: Re: Played all the campaigns, recommendations pls
Post by: colecampbell666 on June 07, 2008, 12:43:06 pm
Try either build in my signature.

It might be time to help people with their campaigns if you've played them all!

Post by: MC_Kejml on June 07, 2008, 03:34:43 pm
@Lobo: I have a pretty old one, so I'll try and update. Whenever I check the scp works, I can download only a file which I never knew where to put, like some with a .J.. or something other suffix. I'm not an english native speaker  :P
@Cole: Ok, thanks!
@Lion: I wish I could, but I'm no good Freder, but I could VA, if you put it this way  :yes2:

Put the attached file in your missions folder, and try again.

Well, if you ran out of campaigns, you can always try and make a new one :p

It says

This campaign is sequel to the Second Great War, in which we set up a blockade, and then go on the offensive.

And I cant find the first one... unless that is the regular FS2 campaign?

*hits head to wall*

The events of FreeSpace 2, particularly those involving Shivans, are often referred to as the Second Great War.

Ah, okay. Thanks.

I thought the "We set up a blockade..." was describing the Second Great War (the first part).

According to Second Great War Part II, the trick all along was to mass-produce Collosuses. I have no idea why the GTVA ever bothered with fighters and destroyers.  :p

I'm actually going to download this classic again and play the last mission in the techroom, just to see how it ends. I'm so curious!

Personally, I had a mental breakdown at the point where an admiral, who had defected from the NTF and therefore had superior ETAK knowledge, assaulted a Sathanas with a Fenris and managed to commandeer the juggernaut.

Oops. I think that counts as a spoiler.

You eliminated all hostiles wonderfully.  Your engagement with the shivan fighters was wonderful.
I was grasping for a noose at that point. Geez... since when have admirals talked like that during debriefings. Might as well have said "Oh, I am so filled with joy that I think I will cry" with a gay tone.

Edit:
I thought the "We set up a blockade..." was describing the Second Great War (the first part).
The structure of the description is actually a bit misleading, now that I thought of it. Well, good that it's sorted now, hmm.

Excellent work pilots.  Sathanas 6 is down.  But, you are not done, so don't return to base.

This ship is the 4th edition Hecate destroyer.  1st was prototype that didn't succeed unlike the Vasudans' Hathesput, 2nd is the common everyday one, 3rd was one built with stronger hull, but had serious problems as weaponry kept locking up when hit by a bomb, and the 4th is the one with four BFreds.

EPIC
