My First Day On Teh Intarweb
on: November 17, 2004, 08:27:20 pm
To all you FS heathens, I found a helluva lotta mistakes in the Ross 128 missions. (I just downloaded it). No events for the messages or anything. So, I modified it myself. (Sorry, to whoever made the mission ;) ) I added voices and took out the two Demons so it would be more like the original :D . I think it's pretty cool. Only thing is, I think I deleted everything for it. :mad: .

I wept. Mysterious forces beyond my ken had reached into my beautiful mission and energized its pilots with inhuman bomb-firing abilities.

Which Ross 128 mission?  This one?
http://www.geocities.com/ipw47/ross128.html

Because it has plenty of voices and events.  What happened when you ran it?

Oh, there's 2 versions? The one I played didn't have any events or anything. Figures. The one I got was at Volition-Watch Archives. Sorry about that. Although I think my version was pretty cool. I have to try this one out.

One more thing. I'm looking for voice actors for my new campaign. No name yet, I started the first mission. I need a guy who can sound Russian, a green recruit, kind of timid sounding, a guy who can sound Texan, and a guy with just a plain voice. I'm asking as I go along, sorry. Email me (check my profile) by saying you want to voice-act for me and send a voice sample. It doesn't matter how big it is, but I'd rather you sent something small-to-medium sized.

                             Cobra wants YOU *points*

[/Edit] Erm, you might want to upload it or email it to me personally. I don't think the link works anymore.  :mad2:

Um, just some advice... there are way too many active campaigns right now.  And there are way too many people asking for help.  You're much better off joining an existing campaign than starting your own.

If you really want to make your own campaign, then you'll have to show a large amount of progress to get anyone to help you out.

Try enrolling in the FRED Academy (see the Campaigns forum) as a first step.  You can practice your mission-making skills and meet some veterans.

You're gonna have to give the Ross 128 mission to me personally. The link doesn't work any more. WHY?

And to your last reply: HEY! I'm a good FREDer! I just can't use logic signs and variables 'n etc! I can make good missions! I'll enroll anyways.

Well, it's on a separate server that isn't 100% reliable.  Try again later.

It's too big to put on Geocities, and I can't put it on my other campaign site.  Maybe I'll put it on FilePlanet.

Do you know how LONG it takes to download stuff off of FilePlanet? I'm subscribed, verified and crap, but it still won't let me use the instant servers. Go ahead and put up there, though. But why don't you email it to me?

It's seven megs.  And actually, I don't think I can put it on FilePlanet either since it's not a hosted site.

If you have YahooMail or GMail, I can mail it to you.  PM me.

:wtf: You downloaded Inferno, which is over 150 megs.  Why are you complaining?

The reason it's so big is that it contains a ton of voice files and some sample screenshots.

A little advice... you might want to tone down your rambunctiousness.  That tends to mark you from the start as immature and n00bish and is generally met with disdain. ;)

Sorry. And do you know how long it took me to download inferno? About half a day! I have a 56 kbps modem for cryin' out loud! And to Getter Robo G: I've got hotmail, I just don't know if yahoo or gmail will send to hotmail.

Erm, don't mind the 2nd posting by me. I accidentally put a second one up. And, um, I'm new to forums. They only one I ever joined besides this one is the Hades-Combine. If I PM you, you'll give me a copy of GMail, right? And don't make fun of me, either!

*sigh*

We don't have to make fun of you.  You make fun of yourself. :p Let me guess... you're 14 years old, and you have AOL.  Am I right?

I highly recommend spending some time "lurking" in this forum (or any gaming forum) and learning the forum culture.  Silence is a virtue, as is thinking before speaking.  A forum is not a chat room.  People generally don't post within minutes of other people (although there are exceptions to this rule), so conversations evolve like discussions or debates rather than chats.

You can't "get a copy" of GMail... it's an online service you sign up for.  GMail in particular is a service that is only available through invitation (for the time being).  MatthewPapa is willing to extend you an invitation.

^^What he said^^

Dont worry. We are not trying to make fun of you. I was once like you, we all were for that matter. I remember asking the same questions on some old anime board 3 years ago when I first became a forumite. I used to have AOL and a 56k as well. I will never forget the piece of crap computer i used to have....anyway.....

If you want a gmail invite PM (private message) me.  I have like 5 and I would be happy to give you one. The reason they dont just let people join gmail right now is becuase it is still "beta stages" or in other words the final levels of testing. You get 1000 mb which should be more than enough for your purposes :)
