Title: TCS
Post by: ryanchealth on May 29, 2023, 01:42:30 pm
Do you want to play a game that is not that good?
How about one that is not completely thought out yet?
Do you like terrible writing?
Do you like errors?
I can say that it is NOT the worst....unless it does not load correctly.
What about a game that and was produced with maybe 60 hours of Fred Experience?
Do  you  like humor that is not for everyone?
If you like any of those.  You need to try T.C.S on the Knossos!
In fact, I don't even know if it works!
Seriously, let me know if it work.

Updated with 25 missions.  7 are AI voice acted and eventually all of them will.  Got a error on the lastest upload so let me know if there is an error.

For some reason it was not working so I remade it and tweaked a bunch of the missions.  Fixed some errors in it.  AI voice acting through Mission 19 or so.  The people who take things too seriously wont like it.  Someone play it and give me a list of errors.  I have played the missions way too many times and it have gotten annoying.  Towards the end I need to get rid of the Trebuchets to make it harder and I will get to that.

TCS has been updated and finished.  Total 28 missions.  Note:  It ends on a Cliff Hanger and may make a sequel.  TRUST ME IT IS NOT BECAUSE IT IS GOOD.  I would like to add E.A. Ships and weapons (Sol: A History Reborn), but trying to find the ships in the VP file is a bit rough.  Honestly, I have never really worked with a Table File and could use some help.

Try using the Inferno Nostos modpack.

I tried using the one with the updated Models "Inferno Alliance" but I am getting an Apollo error dealing with Weapons banks. The other one works but it is the older models. Similar Error with the secondary weapons bank.  I managed to load the Udjat and the Warlock with downloadable files.

Error: There are 2 secondary banks in the model file,
but only 0 secondary banks specified for GTF Apollo.

Hm. For quick and easy replying and troubleshooting I would suggest the HLP Discord (#tables channel) if possible: https://discord.gg/AfmtV8S3Vr (https://discord.gg/AfmtV8S3Vr)

I kind of figured I would have to learn "Tables" for what I want to do next.  I was trying to extract the VP files through one of the editors but it's a bit hard not know their naming conventions.

It's all on the modding wiki found at the top of the page.

Quite a few references to the Wing Commander Universe in there.  If I can get better at Fred I want to make a Wing Commander mod.  I looked at there mission setup and it's going to be a while before I can conquer that.

It's easier than you think.  I was on tolwyns original team.  Pre-saga, I re-created the first few missions from wing commander 4. 


Just run through the tutorials and play with the events manager, (Shift+e) you'll find your way around.

(Did you catch my name being a reference to WC4?)

I recognized it.  Wasn't he also in Prophecy too?  I played all the Wing Commander games though I started with Super Nintendo as we could not afford a computer until later.  Played Wing Commander III on my old Pentium 75, only not in Super VGA since I did not have enough video memory.  Played all the Fan made Wing Commander games based on Prophecy.  Getting better at Fred but Wing Commander Saga is not for beginners.  Though starting from an existing setup will make the whole launch and nav points easier.

I looked again at the Wing Commander Saga Fred2.  No chance in heck I could do that yet.

He was a Colonel in Prophecy yeah.

I started on Snes too my guy  :D

Secret Missions in particular.

Regarding the editor, you're better off asking in the FRED forum, reading the fred tutorial documents, che king our wiki, or asking the masters directly on Discord (linked at the top of this page)  :)
