You can't really pick a campaign. As I've said I don't know which one will be retail and which one FS2_Open. It all depends on the numbers.

[Fergus]

I could use either or, so I can go where you would prefer me.  But I have mainly been using retail.

[mr.WHO]

Both campaigns are interesting but as I said I forgot most of small thing from orginal Fs2 like (secondary important) ships names. (too long I've been plaing TBP and Infern )

[TopAce]

I still insist on giving a hand to new FREDers.

[karajorma]

And I'm glad to have you on board TopAce

Now you can use your nitpicking skills for good rather than evil

[TopAce]

[Ghostavo]

I'd prefer to use the original, but if it needs be (very unbalanced Fred choice) I can use the open

[Hippo]

I'll be one of them mission reviewer type persons...



Just a warning about FRED_Open:

Half the builds after 3.5.5 do NOT do breifings correctly. And you can't go backwards to 3.5.5 to do them either...

[Singh]

so.......when do we get started?

[karajorma]

I'll post the mission outlines tomorrow and everyone will be able to start then. I just want to get a little bit longer to see what sort of numbers of people sign up.

[TopAce]

Shouldn't we need a new forum?

[Singh]

yeah...perhaps an internal too

[TopAce]

An internal for ... the trainers?

[karajorma]

I think a new forum or sub-forum of this one is likely to be needed. I was thinking of doing it all in here and just having all the posts include [FA] in the title but I'm feeling kind of overwhelmed by the number of people signing on.

 It looks like about 10 people have already signed on and I think we're bound to get a couple more once we're up and running and people see things in action.

On the other hand I don't know how willing the admins will be to support a project that is mostly experimental at this stage. I think that if the project works and we're flooding this forum we'll probably get shunted into a new forum just to keep things tidy anyway.

As for an internal I think it would cause us a lot of hassle getting people access and I can't really see the need for one at this point. If people who participate want to talk in secret about campaign number 3+ then maybe the admins will be generous but since I'm not going to be involved in that I'll leave that up to everyone else to decide

[TopAce]

A sub-forum in the FS Modding section will do, if you ask me.
I don't think the Admins would have any objections against this project, it cannot die, since it cannot be finished.

The only thing I do not understand right now is the purpose of an internal.

[karajorma]

Make it a sub forum of campaigns. Campaigns is the FRED forum remember?

[Culando]

Is it too late to sign up? >> I saw this before but I've been thinking a lot about it, and I think it might help me out. I can't tell you how many camps I come up with, that I believe have really good stories backing them up. But I can never get them into actual missions. XP

Now that my own PC (in my room rather than the main one in my house) can run FS2, it should help. But this'll help me make sure the missions can tell my story correctly. >>

[karajorma]

You're not too late but I need to know if you'll be using FS2 or FS2_Open

[Mongoose]

All right, I guess I'll give it a try .  I'd be able to use either retail Fred2 or Fred_Open, depending on what you guys need.  I'm not sure which build of Fred_Open I have, though I think it's the most recent one linked to from the Wiki.

Edit:  It's funny that I have the reverse situation of most of the other people who are signing up.  A lot of other people have great campaign ideas without the know-how to implement them.  I, on the other hand, could probably pick up most of the editor on my own, but I'd have nothing to use it on.  I've had the same problem with the Descent series; I know the editors, but I don't have any ideas for a good level.  Hopefully, I can come out of this project able to aid a mod that's looking for some people who know Fred .
