I'm referring to the one previewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAUQkpmp6Vo
Basically, is there any way I could get the mission file, even if it's still very much a WIP/incomplete work? I'm interested in tinkering around with it, or making something vaguely similar (and being able to use parts of it as a reference would be a huge help).
I think Darius was the one who made that video preview...but I'm not sure.
If the answer is no, that's fine; just wanted to check first and hopefully save a lot of time if possible.
Thanks!

Even if it's incomplete, I'd love to play it. Call it an unsupported extra. Any problems we have are ours to resolve.
-
I wanna say it was Dilmah that did that mission.
I know that mission wasn't being accounted for in the BP:Tev roadmap, either. Just the description of the battle from the fiction.
-
It was indeed, cheers Scotty. I probably have the mission lying around still; I'll have a chat to Darius and see what we can do with it.
Be advised though, it will probably take a bit of time to sift through as I'm not sure if later updates down the development life cycle rendered any of the mission unplayable. If you do decide to tinker and/or overhaul it if Darius is okay with handing it out, I'm happy to answer any requests by PM. I also gave a bit of advice about the discourse used by the pilots in WiH, so making things sound 'fighter-piloty' and 'mil-like' is something I have experience in if that's necessary too. FREDwise I'd be a bit useless these days because I haven't fired Freespace up apart from Diaspora in about a million years - combination of RL, school, and a slowish computer made Freespace not as fun as it used to be, but I'd definitely like to get back into it.
EDIT: If you're interested, there's another mission that I did called 'Midnight Express' that I can give you. It was never finished, but I can give you the script I wrote for it. Similarish vein to the Battle of Neptune mission.

Alright, Darius just got back to me, shoot us a PM gents and I'll send it over.
-
I thought that mission was to be part of the (fanmade?) Tev campaign of War in Heaven. Is that project still alive?
-
That first question was already answered a few posts up.
For the second: Kinda. I don't know if Snail exists anymore, and Dilmah isn't really able to help much, so it's just me. Made a little progress on it earlier, but the project as a whole is prone to fits and starts between long lulls in activity.

PM sent, many thanks :)
I forgot to mention in it, though, that I'd love to see 'Midnight Express' (and/or its script), at least out of curiosity and interest in the setting/plot/technique.

Done. :D No worries.
