Title: RELEASE: Dunkerque v1.0
Post by: Thadeus on April 08, 2009, 11:53:09 am
Friends, Romans, countrymen,

After taking a break from Freespace since my first mission was released, I decided to teach myself more about FRED by re-imagining another classic mission. Fair warning - this is only the second mission I've FREDed, the first being http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,61153.0.html (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,61153.0.html).

In particular, I wanted to try my hand at a branching mission. You'll have to play more than once to see everything this mission has to offer.

Created for 3.6.10
Balanced in easy difficulty, because I suck.  :(

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Download
2. Place folder in main directory
3. Select folder from launcher
4. Go to tech room and play
5. ?????
6. Profit


And don't forget to give feedback. What you liked, what you didn't, etc.

Poor little noobs need their education.

It's okay, but it seems like an entire wing of Maras is always targeting your fighter specificly and it's keeping me from completing this mission.

Yeah, I don't know about anyone else but the last 15 times I tried this mission I noticed the ENTIRE Gemini wing fixated on ONLY MY FIGHTER.

Rise from the grave!

 :nervous:

None of the enemy wings have orders to specifically go after you. That being said, you're pretty much always outnumbered.

Also, I said before that I suck and play on Easy. The max attackers going after you does increase with higher difficulty, so it may be that I have unrealistic expectations of those who are better than I.

They don't have orders to attack you? The same full wing has attacked me, every time, the moment they jump in. I just play on Medium.

Wow, guess you're just unlucky.

EDIT: One of the fighter wings has orders to preferentially attack the Galen. The rest are just set to attack the three friendly wings, then anything.

I liked it.  It didn't focus a lot on the evacuation per se, but it was good for a go-in-and-blow-everything-up sort of mission. :)

I hate escort missions. The evacuation and self-destruct will actually happen if you wait around after the mission is complete.

This is really weird ... the RAR file for this one can't be opened via StuffIt Expander as well.

I tried downloading both missions myself, and I didn't get any problems. I use a different program to unzip things (WinAce, fyi), but I don't see how that could make a difference.

 :wtf:

Your compression type is probably different from the one used by StuffIt Expander, 7Zip and 7zX.
