After a few days of creation, I've finally created and playtested a Battle of Endor-style cutscene (not mission). During the whole time, you view through different Navbuouys to see the different angles of the battle to, ultimately, allow you to savor much of the "cutscene".

I'm asking YOU to rate and comment on it, so as to improve it. Once a number of improvements are done, I should be able to release BoES cutscene 1.0.

Anyway, here's an overview of the scenes:

Scene 1: Lucifer destroys a Leviathan
Scene 2: Hercs being pursued by a Cain cruiser
Scene 3: Mentu and several fighters attempt to attack a Demon, but Mentu gets destroyed in the process.
Scene 4: A Rakshasa gets bombarded by several fighters and is rammed by Vasudan kamikaze pilots.
Scene 5: A large amount of capital ships fill the screen with green and red beams.

Scene 6 is still in the making, however. So you don't have to rate/comment on it yet.

Just one question before I bring the download: where should I upload this? In FSmods? Which website?

With the rapid increase of FS fan-made campaigns, we're giving the GTVA a harder time with more violence and genocide.

Now how do I actually upload my download? It says something like "file type not allowed". What's the correct procedure?

OK, so here it is:

Screenie included. Watch and enjoy!   ;)

Just one question :
Spoiler:
Why aren't Dragon fighters appearing in the Lucy's fighterbay in Scene 6 (if you've viewed it already)? Did the SEXPs and all, but still, it doesn't work.

Have you accidentally set their departure cue to True? I've been guilty of that one a few times... ;)

Uncheck "No Warp Effect"
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

No problem. :)

As for the cutscene itself...it shows you have the basics of working a cutscene down.  Not a bad start at all.  If you're comfortable with the basic controls and SEXPs, I'd recommend doing some work with fade-in, fade-out, and camera rotations.  It'd add a new level of depth to your work and give you a little more experience. :)

Sometimes though, the SEXP system prevents me from using decimals, which is pretty annoying (especially for rotating cameras).

Anyway, I'll try that.

Any other comments?

I haven't seen yours yet, (I'm a little busy as I've got my last exam tomorrow)

Just speaking from experience, but I find FRED-> cutscenes by extension, a skill you really build by using and seeing how others do it. Have you ever opened up a few of the cutscene missions from Blue Planet? It's interesting to see how some of the things are done, and then replicating them yourself. At the same time, I've found after returning to FRED after a period of hiatus that I've forgotten a few things.  :(
