Having webspace to put them in can be useful as each mission designer can post the links in the forums for the testers, but that isn't a requirement.

Oh I haven't really set a deadline for this, it'll either be 1-2 weeks or when I have 8 people looking for a specific position. Whatever comes first.

If people who have sent a mission already, or plan to do so in the next day or two decide to make a better/another one due to the amount of time they now have, I have no problem with this.

I also won't be deciding untill all entries are in, so don't expect any response yet if you have sent a mission in.

wow i feel stupid...


I was all set to start yesterday, and i had to reformat... So i did, and now i'm all set to continue today, and suddenly i have problems with every fred build i try... I can get it to load the data fine, but there's random crashes, and disappearing ships, and some builds don't load at all...

Is there any one specific build you would recommend? Even retail :ick: ?

I'm home sick, and on vacation for the next week, so i'll have plenty of time to make it happen, just... It needs to work first :p

I only use our experimental INF FRED builds, so can't say about other builds.

If you really need to you can make the test mission using retail, though you'll need to get a FRED build working so that I know our builds should work.

Hippo: have you tried patching R1 yet? I had the same problems, but the patch made 'em go away. Worth giving a try at least :P

The patch should fix most, if not all problems that prevent FS Open use.

Okay, he's replied after my post, but still hasn't replied to me. In some places, that could be taken as a bad sign.

I'll just slink away into the shadows.

For the testers:

kietotheworld I need to know what Graphics card you have.

c914 I need some specs, at least CPU, RAM and Graphics Card

The Graphics card can be a big issue for this sometimes. My R9200 slows to a crawl in some missions so I have to optimise things. We've managed to reduce this recently by optimising quite a few things from models to effects.

I'm also producing NON-HTL versions of many HTL models as I can as an option for those with slower systems. The first batch will be tested by the low and mid testers. However I can't reduce a few of the models such as our 2 HTL stations and the Ezechiel. I have mixed results using these so I'm quite interested how these will work on the testers systems.

If the testers or anyone else has a question on running the mod. I'll try to answer them here.

I'll have this running as best as I can by release :)

Oh and in case it matters we run a semi-stand alone. Which is incompatable with the SCP, SCP VP files, FS2 VP files (except 1) FS2 ship Mods, and INF R1. I'll give instructions on how to set it up.


For Mission Designers:

If your system doesn't meet the min requirement I put up for testers let me know. Otherwise ignore this.

I have 4 sample missions so far. 2 are in high consideration. Just because 4 have applied don't stop making those sample missions if your working on one. There's still time left.

This card is equal to a Geforce 3 TI in terms of Power.
I think it's ok, to call it low - lower mid range.

Ok I've collected the current testers specs so we can go through them and choose which ones we think would be best.

Will let you know asap.

 
Hope I'm not too late

I would love to be a mid-spec tester if there's a place for me- I can certainly FRED basic missions for such a purpose

To consider the Earth as the only populated world in infinite space is as absurd as to assert that in an entire field of millet, only one grain will grow. - Metrodorus of Chios
I wept. Mysterious forces beyond my ken had reached into my beautiful mission and energized its pilots with inhuman bomb-firing abilities. I could only imagine the GTVA warriors giving a mighty KIAAIIIIIII shout as they worked their triggers, their biceps bulging with sinew after years of Ivan Drago-esque steroid therapy and weight training. - General Battuta
