Well, I have a prelim version done, but I cant test it since FS2 gives me a stupid error saying my virtual memory has run out, even though it hasn't!
anyway, here it is:
http://www.swooh.com/peon/Singh/FACampaign2Mission1.fs2
edit: this is the exact error:
Error: Out of memory. Try closing down other applications, increasing your
virtual memory size, or installing more physical RAM.
File:U:\src\cvs\fs2_open.pilot\code\GlobalIncs\WinDebug.cpp
Line: 1492
Call stack:
------------------------------------------------------------------
KERNEL32.dll 7c581af6()
------------------------------------------------------------------
-
Try reinstalling fs2 if problem persists and its the kernel32.dll you will have to reinstall windows.
-
Works okay in FRED. I'l try it in FS2 in a bit.
-
I tried it in FREd and it looks okay. I load the mission and FS just hangs, but it does that with my own mission too. What builds are you using Singh ?
-
I tried with both the latest 22-08 Taylor build and the 02-08 build. Both have the same problems.
-
I just tried it. Same thing. Mission must have gotten corrupted somehow.
-
try a .bak ...
-
yeah, I'm lovin' Taylors work too Singh. Which FRED build though ?
and I think Swooh is down again.
I think my FRED files are being corrupted too 'cos I just cannot get a custom mission to work (I usually get a freeze after "commiting") but the retail campaign has been 100% so far.
sometimes FRED doesn't even recognise the files.
-
Okay. Here's a real oddity. I turned off the nebulae and for good measure deleted the sun (I didn't like how FRED2_Open was rendering the entire background blue) and the crash went away.
Then I put the nebula and sun back and the crash reappeared. Finally I delete the sun and everything started working. :wtf:
Sounds like an FS2_Open bug to me. Well at least the file isn't corrupt :D
-
I nevber bothered adding suns to nebula missions:rolleyes:

Thanks, I'll try it out tonight. :nod:
Have a few more edits and balancing issues to handle anyway, so i'll re-upload it ASAP.
(read: i was sleepy and missed out a few things last night)
-
1: Loadout Screen. A minor quibble, but having to replace default weapons with better kit is a little irksome. I always replace stanard issue stuff with the latest kit 'cos the player will obviously want it.
2: Messages. I think the initial messages between Ionas and Alpha were a little too long. And I doubt if the Ionas really needs to inform you as your wingmates die (though I can see why you put that in)
3: Gamma3, You forgot to make the Artemis scanneable!! Plus, I didn't have time to really check it out anway. By the time things had gone quiet it was too far away and I couldn't be arsed going back. I would make the scanning of Gamma3 the Shivan's cue. I like the idea though. (be a good opening for a mission in it's own right)
4: I didn't really know why the Ionas was waiting round. Maybe you could disable it and have the engines gradully repaired.
5: Pace, The mission was alittle short but adding slightly larger delays between wings would sort that.
The balance was pretty much spot on though and I thought it was a good opening mission. The corvettes don't play a major part in the mission though I doubt if they could without spoiling the balance (I'm working along those lines for mission2 BTW) :)
Which should be ready soon, so you can repay the favour ;)
edit: oh yeah, try increasing the gap between messages as I missed most of 'em and make the Ionas an escort ship.
-
I know, i know those problems. Ive fixed everything in the Version I have with me now, and added a bit more too ;)
-
ok, since i cant connect to swooh atm, copy n paste this link for the mission:
www.geocities.com/anandraj_singh_d/famission1camp2.zip
-
what? nobody wants to test this? :(
-
The mission doesn't work for me. :( It tells me it cannot load the mission. I've tried opening it in FS2_Open, FRED2_Open, and FRED2 Retail, all of them failing.
-
ugh. damn fred.
Gimme a minute, i'll re-upload it to swooh
-
I tried testing, too. Got the same error as Axem.
'Attempt to Load Mission Failed'
-
try downloading again from the Swooh link (first post)
-
Bah, I still get the error :(
-
ugh. I really DO NOT like FRED.
-
WTF!!
Its ruined my .bak file as well!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Remember when I said this? :) I still have this version of the mission backed up. How much have you added to the mission since then?
It's certainly better than starting the mission again from scratch :)
Anyway lets see if I can spot the error now that I have something to compare it against.

I changed quite a bit; but now that I know exactly what needs to be changed, its better than nothing :D
-
I've gone one better and fixed the entire thing. :)
click me (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/karajorma/freespace/Downloads/FACampaign2Mission1(Fixed).rar)
You'll need to check the mission in FRED as it's missing a message now (I don't know if it was originally).
I'll post on the SCP forum and say what was wrong with the mission.
-
w00tage!
Thank you Karajoma! :D
-
If you still have the broken .bak file can you post it? I want to see if the error is the same on that one.
-
k; give me a min.
-
done. same link as first post, except put a .bak extension.
-
The .bak had the same error. I'll have to remember what caused this mission corruption for next time I hear of the problem :)
BTW have a look at the SCP post I made and state which version of FRED you were using.
