I can take a look at it

I think the number of asteroids was increased between R1 and R2 anyway.

Miburo · **Reply #21 on:** August 12, 2004, 02:23:41 pm

In fact that it should be fairly easy to keep Janus over 40% hull, even in R2

Last time I played them (extremely quick test to R2 compatiable pack), I managed to play them thorough, then again I made those

miburo,could you please tell me what this omega campaign is all about?

Miburo · **Reply #23 on:** August 13, 2004, 09:37:04 am

It was about Psi Corps elite division Black Omega squadron during teep war. Neverless its dead project now days.

karajorma · **Reply #24 on:** August 13, 2004, 10:42:37 am

Pity that. I know that you anc CF did a lot of work on it. The missions I beta-tested weren't bad either.

Miburo · **Reply #25 on:** August 13, 2004, 12:59:52 pm

Well maybe CF could string them as campaign and we can have some sort "dead project" release.

OOO Sounds interesting;7

I'm in the mission where you jump to Tau Ceti station (the power of EA) and find a disabled ship. Alpha 2 says to call a support ship, but I can't call one in.

Help pls

What is the update on my problem please, I don't want to start a new campaign after getting this far.

Azhren

0rph3u5 · **Reply #29 on:** May 11, 2008, 08:33:52 am

its a disabled starfury right?

in that case there is a problem with the support ship - the names of the supports ships changed from R1/2 to R3

Azhren · **Reply #30 on:** May 11, 2008, 10:48:12 am

Yep. How do I fix this? Is there a new version out?

0rph3u5 · **Reply #31 on:** May 11, 2008, 11:09:58 am

Open the mission in FRED (if you don't know what number it has, check in the mission simulator (campaign missions mode) which missions you already have completed) and a message will pop-up saying just that one ship class does not exist and that Support Ship "whatever" has invalid orders...
in order to fix this you need to turn the support ship (it is one of the ships in the mission) into an "Support Ship EA" and give it the internal orders to dock with the dead fury...

if you've done that the bug is solved and everything is gonna work as it should

FRED won't let me open it, but I may be doing something wrong. I get these error messages when I try:

Then I get unable to load file C:\Program Files\The Babylon Project\data\players\single\azhren.EA-Minbari war v1.cs2

The game engine is telling you that your campaign file has a problem. Spefically you are missing a #Mission Info section.

Your choices are:

1) Rebuild the campaign file from scratch using the campaign editor.

2) Open the campaign file in notepad and fix the problem there. You can always compare the broken campaign file to a healthy working one. The problem might be obvious to spot. Don't be afraid of editting the campaign file in notepad. It's not as if you will break it. It's broken anyway

Azhren · **Reply #34 on:** May 13, 2008, 04:08:47 am

Where can I get a copy of the 'Tales of the EAS Janus' campaign?. The campaign editor won't even show the campaign in the 'open file' window.

IPAndrews · **Reply #35 on:** May 13, 2008, 04:12:00 am

Ok I'm confused. I thought that was what you were trying to load. Which would imply you have it already. So since I am confused I will let someone else answer your question.

karajorma · **Reply #36 on:** May 13, 2008, 04:16:05 am

Actually it's simpler than that. He's trying to load the wrong file. .cs2 is the campaign save file. You need to load the actual mission file (which in turn you'll have to extract from the VP using VPView - Check my FAQ's tools page). Once you have the mission file (.fs2) you can load it into FRED and fix it.

Azhren · **Reply #37 on:** May 13, 2008, 10:12:55 am

I've extracted it to my desktop (for easier finding) and edited it ( Support Tau from fighter to 'Hyperion', Dock Eagle 9). Is this right? I have saved changes. What next?
