Re: Question re: Derelict's story
Steadfast is without a doubt the most chatty campaign ever.


Uh the real problem is make them work. send-message-list can support max 30 messages, and I had to put another list of messages one time. Another time, I used 60 chained events, each with send-message. Assigning messages is a nightmare, believe me.

 ::) uh-uh... I feel like... guilty for that... :P

Back on topic, I have a question for the Derelict guru:
how do the loading screens work? I read some answers here on hlp, and I tried with Darth Dysko to make something similar, but always with bad results. Any suggestion?

Re: Question re: Derelict's story
I guess they have something to do with the pic resolution and number of colours. The loading screens have been added by Blaise, not Agatheron.

Re: Question re: Derelict's story
Yup... Check with Blaise... I don't recall loading screens being an option in the original Fred2 release... so methinks its something new  :D I'd be just in the dark about that as you are.

Usually if we wanted to do something unusual or do credits and such, we tried to do them "in-mission" --the most obvious of those being the very last "mission" where the credits roll within the mission itself...

Re: Question re: Derelict's story
I see. The credits part could be improved, though.

Which was inspired, I must say. I'm doing a similar mission for my own campaign.
