So... Wanna FRED for TI?
Right - the thread on F2S didn't help, so I'm gonna try again here.

OK - Twisted Infinities is in dire straits - we went from being one of the quickest established and enthusiastically staffed campaigns in the community to one struggling to survive when F2S went down. Even now that its back, there doesn't seem to be nearly as much activity/as many members to fuel the place, so TIs staff base has dropped off.

We started with at keast a dozen willing FREDders before the loss of F2S and now we're down to just one - me. Yes, we have other FREDders on our staff page but they're all either AWOL (Alikchi and Amodeus) or incapable of running FS2 (KFC Executor). And at the speed I FRED, well, it's never going to get finished. I'm currently working on the third mission of the 9 mission demo/prequel Operation Ragnarok and the mission I did before it is still buggy as hell. I also just got a new job, which has cut my FREDE time back by even more.

Basically we want people who are reasonably skilled and willing to put in. You don't need to be an absolute FRED genius, and you don't need to be lightning fast - you just need to be competent and reliable. If you join, you'll be joining an established campaign with a solid storyline (not that you won;t be able to contribute to the finer details and things of the storyline - all staffers can do that). You'll be working with some of the highest quality mods in the community produced by two of the very best modders around. You'll be given detailed mission outlines to work with, so while creativity is encouraged, you wont be fumbling in the dark when you make your missions.

Keep in mind also that if you don't feel that you have the time for a full commitment, even a single mission would be helpful. The more the better of course, but at this  point, I'll take what I can get.

w00t!

I'm currently waiting on a pof modification from Flipside, but once I've got that I'll reassemble the OR VP and get you a copy. In the meantime, I'll get a mission outline for you to work on prepped up.

And Thanks :D - I owe you.

Yeah, I know - I'm not entirely sure what's causing it, but I'd say its the maps directory - Flipside and VA in particular tend to use a lot of custom maps on their mods, plus there are two reasonably big CB anis in there - actuaslly, I think I'll get rid of the CB Anis for now - I'll fix it up later if we need them. That should bring it down in the region of 25 or so...

EDIT - yep - 23078 kb without CB Anis - they'll be made optional in the final release methinks...

Ah sheet - just checked the VP - don't use Blupiter or Galaxy3 in your BGs, even though Galaxy 3 may be in the Stars.tbl - it's getting dumped, and Blupiter was never even meant to get in there.

Sorry bout the large file KF - couldn't be helped I'm afraid - hopefully it'll be worth it for you when you have a look around though - there's some cool stuff in that VP :)
