Any fred'ers out there please read the linked thread and consider if you could make this custom mission for me.

http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,18177.0.html

Use my profile details to send me an e-mail if you are interested in helping me out.

The mission would need to satify the following things:

1. Alpha 1 is to be invincible
2. Mission should run indefinately with new ships spawning to replaced ones that leave or are destoryed, something should always be going on
3. Uses as many features of the game as possible (could start small and scale up over time)
4. Should be fairly small file size to ease distribution
5. Should be able to run with retail freespace data (at least to begin with)

Would be great to have someone who has an eye on the source code project, knows what needs tested and who would be willing to update it now and again as new features appear.

You've never even TOUCHED Fred that you can't do this?

I have used fred a bit, if no-one offers I'll consider doing it myself.

But I have a lot of code commitments to I want to keep to (non-standard resolutions, maintaining the launcher, tiding D3D and helping with HT&L). Any Fredding I do takes me away from that work.

What would take me an hour would probably take a good fredder 10 minutes.

I think its a fair request, in the end the benifit is for MOD'ers who use fs2_open.

Besides, if a good FREDer does it, it'll have more circumstances that most missions have. If RT does it, it may leave out common things...just a thought...I'd like to do this, but I can't FRED very well at all (trying to learn though).

I'll take a whack at it if noone else does... Just FredOpen 3.5.5 (or whatever the newest is)? I won't be able to run it for prolonged time, but i'll build it... Just, how long does it have to run?

Infinitely if possible, or as long as you can get. Just need to keep at least some processes going so theres always something going on. Make sure you read the thread I linked for a full understanding.

The idea is that the mission 'plays' itself while your are out or asleep. Using waves of wings would be a good idea.

Theres no reason the person who makes has to the person to update it I. And even if no-one wants to update it the mission would still be very useful. I will take whatever I can get.

If you are serious give me an e-mail and outline what you are going to do.

Sounds like you want a game version of the Freespace Screensaver!

Later!

That screensaver was great. Wish it worked on XP.

Just a hint - Vasudan Assault 2 aka M-07 that came with FS2 has 2 capships and lots of fighters. Once I tried to find out how many kills I can do there: Somewhere after 600 kills and est. 2 hours FS2 decided to crash to desktop, guess I've hit a memory limit or such - so "Infinitely" doesn't seem possible
