Yes, it's the demo for Neo-Terra Victorious, available for download at the NTV website! Seven point two megabytes of compressed fun!

   The year - 2366
                The location - Polaris

Follow the tumultuous birth of the most significant threat to GTVA security since its foundation, as the Neo Terran Front begins its existence in the Polaris system. Join the rebellion on the NTD Cyrene, pledge your allegiance to Admiral Bosch, and take down the Galactic Terran Vasudan Alliance!
     
        Some notes:
This is the demo for Neo-Terra Victorious. It's six missions long.
It's set at the beginning of the NTF Rebellion, casting you as a pilot in the newly-born NTF, stationed aboard the NTD Cyrene in Polaris.

Note that the final, main campaign will be set a few months before the original FS2 campaign (at the start of the NTF's big push in Deneb).

N.B. - NTV: Emergence is not simply the first six missions of the NTV campaign. Emergence is its own beast, an entirely independent minicampaign charting the birth of the rebellion, and is made up of entirely original missions, available only as a part of this minicamp.


        Thanks to:
GalacticEmperor for helping out, making the Port, and being a great guy :)
Sesquipedalian for the l33t new FS1 weapon ANIs (as seen in Port 2.0)
Knight Templar, Grey Wolf, Sheepy, and Lobsterclaw for Beta Testing
And of course HLP and the HLP staff for hosting us. :D


Let's go kill some Zogs!



KILL VASUDANS!

I tested it myself, so you know it's good.

Actually the best demo I've played so far.. 6 missions is pretty nice.

Just for the record, I didn't actually make the weapon anis in this particular case.  GE got a wee bit impatient (in a good way: it would have been another week or two until Port 2.0 was released otherwise), so I supplied the tools, templates and knowledge, and he made them himself.  But you can credit me for all but actually putting them together. :D

And Vasudans = rockin'.

The Athena should have secondaries - they're pretty much neccesary to complete the mission in one piece.

Make sure you don't have any other ships.tbl or weapons.tbl files around that might interfere with them... other than that I'm not sure what could cause that.

Yeah, to reiterate on what BW said - make sure you have a clean data folder for this, or there will be conflicts and everything will get all messy. Check in FRED to make sure you have no mods loaded, then just plot the VP in your FS2 directory and you're ready. :nod:

:nod:  I would know, I spend the better part of yesterday night testing it for them.. but I had to reinstall to get rid of that and another table problem. Make you you not only check for clean ships tables, but also weapons.

One final note, we know mission three needs work - once you get through it, though, everything's smooth :) danke

He's right though, they get good after three. So play away!

well, we didn't have time to test it, and we didn't have any problems until just now, and, and --

*sob*

Upon checking, there's another bug in mission 5, but it doesn't stop the progress of the campaign.. just the mission.
Unfortunately, my CD-ROM drive is inoperable, so I can't fix these without the likelihood of me mangling it up even more. We'll have to wait for BW.

And finally, the RTB event in Mission 6 is inoperable :( Sorry guys. Just jump out after the Sopedu is dead.

We'll get a patch out ASAP as soon as BW gets here.

OR you could download FS2_open and use the command line.
