Re: RELEASE: Homesick, a 30+ mission campaign
Seriously, I'm at my wit's end here.  The error is right in front of me; I know what it is and I know how it should be fixed, but whenever I alter the code in any way, it makes it so the game doesn't recognize the campaign.   :hopping:

Re: RELEASE: Homesick, a 30+ mission campaign
well this campaign i found rather (sorry) bad :/ the missions were nice and all that jazz but this kind of campaign where one has to replay a mission on easy is not my type, i like to have stories not rather hard missions :(
I hate My signature!

Adding the scramble flag does not help at all.
Add both the scramble and red alert flags? I'm pretty sure I got around the crash by messing with the flags.

Really? I thought you had to remove the flags to get rid of the Red Alert Bug?   :confused:  :nervous:

Yes, but this is a briefing-crashes-game bug. There's a way to work around it using flags.

Try opening the file in FRED and re-saving it?  That may correct the syntax in the file.

Homesick is buggy as hell unfortunately, and no one has as yet gotten around to fixing it.

So what wizardry is required to get poor ole Homesick running properly (or close to properly) in a fresh SCP install?

You really need to be a level 25 Ninja-Wizard to get it working with 3.6.9. I believe it might work quite well with 3.6.10 builds.

Ah so the 3.6.10 build that comes with the online installer should do the trick without any tinkering?  I'm not much of a ninja or a wizard I'm afraid (although I can pull off a decent crash tackle in rugby).

Well so far so good, but is there a 3.6.10 build where text to speech works?  For some reason it only works for me in 3.6.9.  Oh and thanks for your help!

Re: RELEASE: Homesick, a 30+ mission campaign
I think karajorma has produced the only 3.6.10 builds that are capable of producing synthezised speech. They can probably be found from the Recent Builds child board under the Source Code Project board.

Just finished Homesick with MediaVPs. Great campaign - FREDding at the highest level, magnificent storyline and sad ending... the death of Deimos MCv Forgot-the-name really touched me.

Gratz for REALLY great campaign.

Horrors! Thread Necromancy!

Boystrous 19 year old temp at work slapped me in the face with an envelope and laughed it off as playful. So I shoved him over a desk and laughed it off as playful. It's on camera so I can plead reasonable force.  Temp is now passive.
