Storm Front II has been re-released. Be check out this thread http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=67097.0
-
I quite liked the first one. Downloading now. :)
-
As I said before, Episode II is not as good as the first one, though there are a few really nice missions imo. But I hope the end doesn't too much like a copy of Derelict. :nervous:
-
I get:
Error: Invalid ship class name.

:confused:
You sure you made everything correct with the installation? StormFront12_root.vp is in your "StormFront12" folder?
-
The end contains collapsing a node, but that just happens "offscreen".
-
Played it a bit now (rather big bit actually), and I have to say, although it's not that good as Episode 1 I still like a quite much. Nice amount of mysteries in it, so I'm looking forward to Episode 3. Fighting is also nice and I really like your backgrounds - actually I'd like to ask if I may use them for some missions myself?
-
I'm having trouble with the second mission
When I try the mission where I have to destroy the shivan depot, I always get a mission failure even when I destroy all the cargo containers and ships
-
nice campaign.
alltough I got to add a small mini-bug
the mission where you and the Iceni frigate have to kill of shivan fighters and a corvette, and capture a few disabled ones in the process - the frigates waypoin paths take it away from the Moloch. With time compression it took a small eternity for both ships to come into fireing positions again.
-
Thanks for all the positive responses. :)
@Ole
Of course you may.
@MarsNeedsWomen
No! Not again! I hate that mission! Will have a look into it later this afternoon.
Edit:
Okay, here are the fixed missions: Click me (http://sebastian.ramrod-network.de/Freespace/Bla1.7z)
I removed the ship-type-destroyed-sexp (I had problems with that earlier). Now everything should work.
Oh, and btw. How do you feel the skill level? I tried to make the missions easier than in Episode I.
-
Wasn't that bad, although I played on easy or medium, so I can't really judge it. Except for one red-alert mission in which I started with 3% hull left (which led me to replay the previous one) there were no real problems. Some challenging situations, but nothing that couldn't be handled. Actually, although I really like the Ares, I sometimes felt that he's a bit too strong - maybe restrict him more thoroughly?
And by the way, thank you.

Sorry. I edited my post.
@MarsNeedsWomen
Sorry, too. Now it should work.
Cthulhu? :wtf:

Sorry to be a bother, but how do install the fixes? :D
-
Just unpack the mission files into your FreeSpace/StormFront12/data/missions folder. ;-)
-
Thank you
-
To answer your question (I think I can do that without spoiler tags): There will indeed be a third and fourth part, but Ep III will not be about the Shivans.
Oh, and... There WILL be more trips into Shivan space, but not the Shivan space we know already. ;)

Oh, thank you very much. :)
-
FS-Junky; can you post me a spoiler about 1) What will chapter 3 deal with and who the enemy is in it
Not yet. I don't know if Ep III will be released before 2009. My next project which will likely be released by mid 2008, is a prequel. After that I intent to make a mini campaign playing shortly after Ep II, maybe I can put a few hints in there.
and 2) Will we visit that Shivan system that was shown in that cutscene at the end of part II?
Nope, only in Ep IV.
Oh yeah, and 3) Why the Shivans were fighting each other in part II?
You have to exercise patiente, my young padawan. :p

It's nearly impossible to do something completely new or never-seen-before. After ten years of campaign creating it's only natural that we are running out of ideas.

"originality is a like a summers breeze , refreshing and short lived" if a story is well written and we choose to enter within then all is possible
there are no new stories just different interpretations of the original

;) :D ;) :D ;) :D

Let me guess, I think it is a rebellion between one Shivan force and another. That is another old idea in older campaigns :nod:
Huh? I didn't even know that. ^^ Is one of those campaigns still available somewhere?
-
hey junky.....your speed in releasing whole campaigns is awesome....
when i have time (after finishing the cutscene......so in 3 or 4 years :rolleyes:) i also will be able to play ;)
nevertheless i´m wondering why YOU do not have any custom-title. something like
"stormfrontschwein" or something like that ;)
:warp: :wakka:

Thanks, Max, I will have a look for it.

I liked this campaign more than the 1st. It was very epic. Though I notice that some the shivans' beams were funky. Even though they were red, the "charge up" effect would be blue. :confused:

Oi! Stop talking German here. And stop above all talking 'bout beer. At least, talk about Malibu or something like if you need to be off topic. :P

I'm glad that you liked it. :) That's odd. Do you use the 3.9.10 Mediavps?
-
Nope I used 3.6.9
-

... umm, you mean the Malibu Rum, right?
-
Nope I used 3.6.9
Hm... you said that this effect only appeared at a few speicifc Shivan beams. Maybe there is some problem with my MediumRed, but it all worked fine for me. Can you post a screenshot?
@Lobo
'Course. ;-) (http://www.smileyhome.de/smilies/diverse/zeiger.gif)

Nice campaign. I am currently in the mission in
which beginning the cthulhu and ravana jumps. Insteead of the lucifer I get a nice ulysses... and when that mission ends, the fs2 just crashes :doubt:
But yeah, it is ok, though it has some imba missions ( Pride...) well, they just seemed imba to me so I had to use the 5-fail cheat. Episode 1 was very about skill, Episode 2 seems to be more about the story.
Good job anyway :) The installation ( we know which ) VERY surprised me !

Which Version of SCP do you use? Maybe you should extract the mission file from the VP and edit it in FRED before you try again.

Pride... is indeed quite a difficult mission, although it is still a lot easier than it was in the beginning. But okay, I will have a look at this one again. In what other missions did you have problems?
Good job anyway :) The installation ( we know which ) VERY surprised me !
Then I did my job well here. ;) :p
-
I use the 3.6.10 unofficial beta. The thing is that all other ships appeared as they should have had.
About the ''Pride...'' - Well, the ships seem to travel in random ways ( Cruiser / Frigate ), so the result of shivans attacks are always different. I'd also include ship loadout, because three warships, each in their own separate directions, cant be disarmed fast.
-
I tested the campaign with the 3.9.10 Beta and had no probs. Odd. Sorry, can't say what the problem is.

The Lima, the Mirage and the Shivan corvette follow waypoints. The Shivan cruisers just follow the ai-chase-sexp. Harpoons are quite good to disarm ships, especially such like the Moloch which have very poor turret armor.
-
Ok. And again, before that mission in which you need to
escort Consti after lucifer with ravana jumps out, i get an error that says something along the lines ''add lucifer into techroom if consti jumps out''. And the error is typed like ''SD lucifer''. Dunno whats that about :(
-
I don't know why but your FS doesn't seem to know the SD Lucifer class. The only way to correct this as far as I know is to extract the missions from the VP and to edit it in the editor (In your current mission, there is some sexp that adds the Luci to the techroom. You just have to open it and insert the SD Lucifer again, then it should work). The Cthulhu appears in SF_II_E3M2 (That's the one with the Arachnas), SF_II_E3M3, SF_II_E3M4 and SF_II_E3M5. I'm sorry for the trouble, but I can't explain why this problem appears. :(
-
Omg, the mission can't be opened in FRED2.. mind if you take a look at it and put a fixed version for me, please ? :confused:
-
Here (http://sebastian.ramrod-network.de/Freespace/SF_II_E3M3-5.7z) are the missions, but I don't know what I could fix. It's all working fine for me, after all. Did you really extract the mission files, opened FRED and then opened them from there or did you just open the .VP and double clicked on the file? The latter's not working. ;-)
-
I extracted the file and tried to open it. ''Cant open the mission:( ''

I just finished this and I really liked it, I agree with Max, drop the prequel and go for pat III. (unless you have writers block). Also, surprisingly, the dreaded Red Alert Bug decided to stay in it's dark little corner this time :nod:. Also, there were several places that got the good ol' :eek2: or :jaw: response. I like campaigns like that. Oh, and
It's not hard to guess what the molten planet in the end is after playing Blue Planet :P.

Yes it is, believe me. :P

So it's not! :nervous: Aww crap... THE SUSPENSE!!!!!

Well.. after I found out that I can't get SF2 to work on my pc, I'd like someone to tell me the rest of the story From the point
Ravana and Lucifer entered Mab'bu
. Please :(

thanks!
after installed...
I´m playing (and enjoying a lot) the stormfront campaign. However, the mission smoke screen i have to scan the cthullu, a gtf ulysses (it must to be a joke with the Lucifer...) and, although i can scan all the subsystems i can´t have a whole ship scan... and the mission simply never end...
Whta should i do?
thanks!
Helio
-
Seem's to be everything all right with the mission file...
Extract the mission from the .vp, open it in Fred and make the Cthulhu a Lucifer. I can't say what there is wrong, maybe you made a mistake with the installation?
-
Or the usual. You have a vp or a table file somewhere it shouldn't be. A popular choice is to install InfR1 to the root freespace directory, so that it can easily intefere with everything else.
If there's a ship model in a mission that the game can't find from the used table file, it will automatically be replaced with a Ulysses. This is what leads me ti believe that you've installed something or another the wrong way.
-
ok...
I´m not sure if i installed infr1 in the root, but i believe not because i sually create separate folders for eachm campaing, but i will verify it. Anyway, i willl stract everything from the vp anyway... it worked before in the flame sof war, may solve it now.
Thanks.
I have made the vp extract without success. I checked the mission in fred and it appears as lucifer... however, i still not being able to solve the problem...
-
I still say that you have a vp or a ships.tbl somewhere that has a higher priority than the Storm Front one. Most likely some non-retail file in the \freespace\ folder. Or something extra in your Storm Front folder. If you are absolutely sure that there aren't any rogue files floating around anywhere and you still have the issue, I can really only say wtf.
-
Well, I just got this and Storm Front I a few days ago. I just finished playing through, and this is rockin' awesome.
I suppose that, since this was so recently released, we can't expect part three anytime soon? :P
-
My guess is
Either Capella or Vasuda Prime.
-
My guess is Either Capella or Vasuda Prime.
Capella is still full of superhot gas, I'm pretty sure the GTVA still has a presence in Vasuda.[/spioler]
-
So, now for the big question on everybody's mind: Release date for SF3?
-
I'm pretty sure the consensus is "when he gets around to it" :P
-
As usual lol. Was worth a shot.
-
Hey. I'm really pleased to see that you like the campaign.
As for SF3: It will come. For sure. But not this year. Expect it somewhere around February/March 2009. This summer you will see an add-on for SF12 and the prequel which is currently in "post production".
-
add-on = new missions and major update of root files. ;-)
-
New missoins YAYZ!
-
Hello SF-Junky,
i played again the Stormfront Campaigns and enjoyed it again.
Wonderful Missions and cool Battles.
Perfect balanced Missions.
I Played with official 3.6.10 Files and no problems.
Now my Question: when do you release Stormfront part III ???
Is any release planned?? Or you are too busy with the release II of SF12 ?
Keep up your good work !!!
Greetings Peter
-
I haven't started working on SF III yet since Release2 of the first two episodes still isn't finished. But I expect this to be done by the end of 2009 and then I will begin Storm Front III.
-
Hi SF-Junky,
thanks a lot for information.
what will be different between sf relI and II??
Sure by starting Freespace 2 appears a warning Box, bot nothing happens...all perfect - for my naked eyes *gg*
I wish you a lot of fun by working on Rel. II and later on SF III.
I still love this Campaigns.
Greetings from the "Schwäbische Alb"
Bye.. Peter
