   Well, I have been testing and testing. and it is starting to take shape. This is the battle in "between the darkness and the Light. Season 4 epp. 19. The whitestars AI is not at the level it needs to be, but is getting there. 

   THere will be a rough draft available and the end on Jan. for beta testing.  As far as official release date, well that is still to be seen, for I have very little time between jobs. So, if any one that is very good at fredding and, or wants to learn.(like I am in the process of doing)while writing the mission sexp variable pm me. 

   Screen shots, I cannot get at the moment bcause I have no clue how to get them in TBP 3.2 open. But I will get to that soon enough. And I will post them then.

    And are there any new updates to TBP3.2 or to the Mission editor?

Thank you and Keep the at a boys coming. For all mission and campain designers.

I did that mission last year, it will feature near the end of the heat em up campaign.  It was a knightmare to get the AI right for whitestars, i found it was best to put some of them in a wing and give change ai orders during the game

[ZhaHaDum1972]

Well, I have done that. but how to change AI is still a mystery at the moment.
Do you change it in the sexp variables or by the wing and ship editors????

[madaboutgames]

Better to give 1 order (eg waypoints once for that mission) then sexp ai (events) for individual wing orders.  works better that way

Where would I get my hands on the newest build of FRED Open?

I use a mixture of the two. The Ships Editor is for the default behaviour at the start of the mission or on arrival. If I want them to react to something that has happened in the mission a clear-goals followed by the new order generally works quite well.

Ok I've got the Screen shots and they are ausome.
Here Is a test to see if I can get them to appear.

[ZhaHaDum1972]

 :mad:Ok Pics are not working. So it must be me, Or the fact that I cannot figure out
what to do to get the pics to show up. HELP!!

[ZhaHaDum1972]

i looked at the properties of ur image and it seems to be on ur harddrive. u need to put the image somewere online, on photobucket for example. http://www.photobucket.com/
and then upload the image. the site then makes an url for the image which u can use to put it on the forum

[ZhaHaDum1972]

Here They are. Finnally!!

[karajorma]

I wonder why I could see one of the images and not any of the others if they were all on the same host?

What I can see looks good though.

[ZhaHaDum1972]

I was using a server that didn't allow you to link to there pages. but I remedied that as you can see.

[karajorma]

Yeah. I noticed that but the funny thing was I had 5-6 "We do not allow hotlinking" images and one actual proper picture. All of which were on the same host!

[ZhaHaDum1972]

what about now?

[Depth_Charge]

i'm still trying to figure out how did EA got any hold of shadow technology.....since there were some shadow ships that was hidden on earth adn elsewhere on sol system

[Vash]

those screens look good, looking forward to play this one 

i believe earth got the shadow tech because the clark regime had connections with the shadows like ambasador molari had with mister morden.

Don't you hate it when you've got a great screen ready to capture and just as you're pressing the key some bloke shoots you in the ass and the screenshot comes out all red. Ruined many a good screenie for me that has.

[madaboutgames]

Same here

But you can still salvage them, If you use photoshop you can alter the colour balance and get rid of the red tinge and it looks great
