I would like to know if anyone has ported the fs2 demo missions into the scp engine , if not I would like to try to do that and with that practice my fredding :p
-
IIRC FS2 demo is just the first act of the full game campaign...
-
Negative, the first one is a crazy nebula mission that could be won in the Demo by spamming Rockeyes, the second was an escort mission.
Yes someone did. Hold up, I'll see if I can find it.
-
FS2Demo folder with a mod.ini that has the mediavps listed should do it.
Just checked and it's already there but points to the 3.6.10 mediavps.
-
Okay, I cannot find it. Honestly, if you have the demo, it should be a fairly easy mod to make, especially since the advent of modular tables. If you spent a few hours converting it, you'd have it done. You could even post it to mods.\
There are considerable differences in the weapons IIRC
-
I will give it a try , I am not a great fredder only a novice one , I could tweak it a bit I think , If it is not any objections of anybody of course
-
It's already been done, I have a copy somewhere.
-
They came with at least one edition of FreeSpace...
-
The installer used to install them. Can't see why those couldn't be distributed as they were free to begin with.
-
Oh , okey battuta , if you find them , post the link please , i have played one mission , but i dont like it so much , I think i am getting used to the eye candy missions (=
-
Man, I wore those two demo missions out before I was finally able to buy a copy of FS2. I remember being completely blown away by the graphics.
-
Me too. I thought the Maxim was the prettiest thing I'd ever seen.
And the Hatshepsut!

FS2demo.rar (http://fubar5.fubar.org/fubar/FS2/FS2Demo.rar)
It still has the 3.6.10 mediavp mod.ini.
-
Just played, thanks FUBAR-BDHR (:
-
W8, i have a Cd with wreespace that definitely ain't full, but you say it ain't demo either? Now that i look at it it says Freespace 2 OEM... It's all missions up to the 1st SOC loop. I dunno what it is nor where i got it but that's what i have.
-
it's not the demo, it's something different
the demo is what fubar posted
-
Sounds like FreeSpace 2: Colossus.
-
yep, that's it.
-
Well, FreeSpace 2: Colossus is a "demo" of FS2.
The standalone demo missions you guys are talking about are Crisis in Capella and Crimson Skies. Good times.
-
Ah, those were good missions. They showcased a good sample of what FS2 was capable of. Before I got the full version, I played that for quite a while.
-
Crisis in Capella spoiled part of the plot, but in a way that didn't reveal much. Crimson Skies was basically there just to show what nebula missions would have been like.
-
In what way does Crisis in Capella spoil the plot?
-
The Shivans invade Capella and civilians escape?
(The Psamtik was still there, though.)
-
Weren't you escorting a convoy to gamma drax ?
EDIT : just rechecked, you escort a convoy from Capella to Gamma Draconnis
-
Was it Gamma Draconis? Well, that explains why the Psamtik was still there.
-
I never played those missions until after I played FS2.
-
Well, I played OEM ad nauseam and that explains why I played the demo missions before the main FS2 campaign. Many other people were forced by the odds to play the demo before even touching a copy of FS2.
-
Weren't you escorting a convoy to gamma drax ?
EDIT : just rechecked, you escort a convoy from Capella to Gamma Draconnis
It's not just a convoy, it's a convoy carrying cargo classified Level Upsilon. That's the second-highest level of classification, below Level Omega. Who knows what the Deliverance and Stevedore were carrying...

I remember playing Freespace 2: Collossus for a full summer before I got FS2. It would be another year before I got FSO.
Someone do me a favor and start up FS2 Collie, exit, and take a screenshot of the ad for the full game. I remember there being some weird giant monolith of a baby's head or something, with red beams coming out it's eyes.
-
I don't remember that being there :O

Are you sure that wasn't the Barney demo for JAD3?
-
I remember what Titan is refering to. There was a Vasudan with strange clothes, which made me think about esoteric rites. A strange thing for a sci-fi game.
