1) I have just finished the Raider Wars, it said something about Alpha 1 returns for Earth Alliance Civil War. Is it under development?
2) Earth Minbari Wars Demo - Is the full campaign out?
-
1) Yes, ask Skullar
2) No, the "demo" part of EMW refers to it being a first demo campaign for TBP, not that a full campaign was planned. There is however a longer campaign set in that timeframe by... madaboutgames or somebody else?

Skulla? whos that?

You mean Tales of EA Janus?

No, there was a 20+ mission campaign called "Earth MInbari War" (IIRC) by some guy who was not on the TBP at the time he released it, but he was on the team later.... I'm pretty sure it was madaboutgames or den5.

Mad About Games (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=39439.20), yes. Though there's no indication it was ever released, at least that I can find.

@ Felix
The Raider Wars campaign was done by IPAndrews some time ago, and it still is the TBP main campaign.
Ever since the first installment of TBP, I was planning a campaign called THE EARTH ALLIANCE CIVIL WAR. ( EACW )
At first, I just wrote scripts and the storyline. With the time being, IPAndrews and Slasher made preliminary versions of some EACW missions. I was not satisfied with the results ( mostly due to limited possibilities of the game engine at that time ), so they didn't do any more.
Then, when the first 3.6.10 builds appeared, the Source Code Project team solved the last problems that stood in the way of a really cool EACW campaign : cool camera movements ( for ingame cutscenes ) and glowmaps on Omega-Destroyers ( that means you see the nameplates of the ships ingame, and they are illuminated )
Since fredders didn't fred to my taste, I decided to do it myself. There has not been anyone anyway who wanted to help with EACW and was willing to stay for more than 2 days. But I found I was able to fred to my liking, and although I miss some voiceacting, the first campaign parts are completed ( including a cool EACW version of SEVERED DREAMS )
Perhaps I can finally rally some support from the community if I release parts 1 and 2 already, it may help to get the remaining voiceactors for the rest, and eventually some fredders who appreciate my way of doing things and want to help along with the remaining missions.

Hey that's cool Skullar, if you have Severed Dreams already I would love to see it and possible record it to publish. I did record MAG's Severed Dreams (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gs6f1EL7n0M&fmt=18) but yours might be even more interesting, with proper destroyer plates and Churchil's final ram.

Cool, maybe I can do some voice acting too... the problem is I dont know what is the quality I should be aiming for, is there a sample somewhere I can listen to as an example?
-
Just record an send me a few lines : [email protected]
@ Verti
Nope :) I wont release EACW stuff any more before it is not voiceacted :)

EARTH MINBARI WAR - this was a 21 mission campaign, it was complete exceptfor voice acting at half of the cut scenes.
My pc dies and hd totally went beyond the rim, so instead of doing it all again I decided to do the Earth Brakiri War. I have since found all the missions and campaign files but lost all of the cutscenes i did. I might revive this one day if I have time and I get good voice actors like I did for EBW.
Severed Dreams - I revamped Sereved dreams a year or 2 ago to include nameplates and other stuff. This was available in "B5 Stary Fury Pilot" mision pack. When I first did severed dreams years ago the nameplates where not available :)
Howevere i did not order the churchill to ram, instead I left them under AI control so it was varied for the player every time they played it. The player has the choice to change the outcome of the battle a little. As in the other SFP mission pack the player is thrust into the canon series and can change outcomes to make the mission more replayable such as in the (Points Of departure) mission where the player can attack the minbari and provoke an attack on B5 (most people probably dont even know this ;) ).
