Thanks. I will play it soon. What is "The Babel Effect"?

That would be because it is linked to Swooh.

And the old Swooh storage stuff is messed up, IIRC.

Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

Is Twilight even part of the Derelict series (i.e. a Cold Element production)?

I don't have upload capability right now.  Just find someone to follow my instructions and upload it somewhere else.

Well in think it was more like Ace's personal project.

The order is Derelict, Warzone/Twilight (in parallel, but Warzone starts first), BWO, and then Paradigm Shift if it ever gets released in the next million years.

I seem to have left my one-word answers back on page 1. :nervous:

Warzone, Derelict (because they were the two IceFire participated in, and he is the main writer for BWO), and then somewhat sideways Twilight, but that was Ace's puppy, and carries over influence because he writes it... along with me really. It's also fun, because it's possible.

Not so much. Twilight never finished really. Babel Effect was never released IIRC.

Actually it looks like you're partially right, which means the campaigns give inconsistent information.  Derelict takes place in 2372 and Warzone in 2371, but I thought Warzone made reference to Derelict somewhere.  Twilight takes place in 2372 but makes reference to Warzone in the present tense.  Warzone's website actually states that it takes place in 2372 which would make Derelict, Warzone, and Twilight all concurrent.  No wonder the GTVA was overstretched!

Ace wanted to remake Twilight but he did put an official release up for download as seen here.  Babel Effect was lost because of a hard drive crash or summat and was therefore "postponed indefinitely".

Twilight wasn't finished and never will be ;)

Unless Ace has masochistic wishes.

I can't access the fixed model.


Plus I find almost 6 mistakes in the tables that caused FSO to crash when it was firing up.

So follow the instructions in the link. :rolleyes: It tells you exactly what to do right there.  You can't expect everything to be provided for you all the time.

For anyone looking for that fixed model file, I seem to have it lying around for some reason.  (I never even noticed that the .exes were corrupted; guess I should have tried to actually play the campaign at some point. :p) So, without further ado, enjoy.

It appears that the Readme for the functional Zipped version appears to be on the fritz.  Now, i've got a folder full of various files (below) and no idea what to do with 'em. Would someone be able to inform me as to how one would go about getting this bastard to work...?
