Does anyone mind if I post a welcome speech?


Target "crucial soul", OPEN FIRE!!




Welcome to the HLP! Exits are located in most directions, including 5th-dimensionally. They are all at the moment, blocked however. Don't try to escape via the ducts, because Carl lives there, and he's a very territorial Shivan. I you meet him, throw hm your lunch and back away slowly. Do not attempt to use one of our emergency-flamethrowers, since they are filled with holy water. All other weapons (such as the plasma rifles) are stored in secure lockers on Deck 42. The lockers may only be opened by an admin, , or hyperintelligent shade of blue. Refer to Karajorma's FAQ for general questions, the Wiki for specific ones, and enjoy your stay! 


The mission: Not bad at all for a first attempt.  There are just three problems as far as I can see.

1. Aries wing jumps in six klicks away. This.... is a little far. They should be jumping in about 1 klick. Might try adding more waves as well.

2. Shouldn't a freighter have a cargo container to carry with it? All the Ma'ats were empty.

3. Lack of background. This one really isn't that big, but a planet, or multiple suns, might improve the look. You can get some incredible backgrounds from Singh's Background Emporium.

But on the whole a really good mission. Fix those three things and I wouldn't see a problem.

To dark hunter,

thnx for the welcome and feedback, i'll get right away on those changes.

Hey Crucial_soul

I agree with everything that Dark Hunter said.

You could (and should) make a campaign on of this, I know I'd play it. 

Just wanna add one thing.  Not a big deal or anything but when I played through it the first time, I was near a knossos and I was like "Where in the GTVA is a knossos portal?" (Besides GD)  not a big deal just my inner muse.   Otherwise good work.

[crucial_soul]

To Dan1,
i will love to make a camaign but iam too busy at the moment with RL. about the knosses i dont know why i put it in, i will change that 2. And thnx for the feedback. also is this the right thread to post my map or is this just for campaigns?

[Dark Hunter]

I would say that this is just for campaign announcements, and that if you have a single to release, make a new topic for it.

Oh yeah! One thing I forgot: where's the music for this mission?

[crucial_soul]

k i'll start a new topic when i finshed adding the new features to this mission + music lol

[Dark Hunter]

Look at Hades Combine downloads section. There are a few Vasudan installations. Most of 'em are big, but I think there's a small base as well.

[Snail]

All of them are about Destroyer-sized, and the Cheops doesn't fit my needs. It doesn't matter, I'm currently using an Aten inside a Ganymede. It looks kind of stupid, but WTF. 

[Snail]

I just finished the fourth mission today and I decided to test it out (I test all missions before making them into a campaign). And when I started out FreeSpace, I got this error:

Error: ships.tbl(line 6125:
Error: Required token = [#End], [$Subsystem:] or [$Name], found [$Trail:].

File:\fs2_open\code\parse\parselo.cpp
Line: 633
[This filename points to the location of a file on the computer that built this executable]

Call stack:
------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------

When I pressed 'OK', it repeats the error with every single line after  .  I'm using the same FSOpen build as I was using yesterday (of course) and yesterday, it was working just fine  . Does anyone know WTF is going on???

HELP ME!!! 

[Dark Hunter]

It sounds like you have an extra entry in there somewhere. I'd check for any lines that have "$ND" in them. Those lines are completely useless to FSOpen, and screw it up.

[Snail]

Oh, that must be the problem (AF Kato has like 20 of them)  .

[Dark Hunter]

Yeah, just open up the table (Notepad works just fine) and delete those "$ND" lines. Be very careful not to delete anything else.

[Snail]

Same error.  It's impossible that I don't have enough space in the TBL because I use that Table Cleaner thing AND deleted ALL  the Shivan ships to make space for the Ancients.

[Dark Hunter]

Is this table of yours in a VP? If so, you have to extract it, change it, then rebuild the VP for the change to take effect.

[Snail]

Not in a VP. Furthermore, I checked the line that the error pointed to, and I found it isn't even correct. It says $Subsystem: turret07,0.833,1.0, and from that line on every single line seems to have somekind of error on it. 

[Dark Hunter]

Hmmm, can you post the table entry in question? I'll check it against my own Ancient ships (all of which work fine). I'd do it in a new thread though, don't want to go using up Skippy's thread on a tbl error.

[Snail]

The funny thing is, the error doesn't even occur on an Ancients ship. In fact, it occurs on the GVCv Sobek. 

This is even weirder than when the GTCv Carolina in Inferno turned into a Vesuvius.

Okay, this is getting weirder and weirder.

Error: ships.tbl(line 6061:
Error: Required token = [#End], [$Subsystem:] or [$Name], found [$Trail:].

File:\fs2_open\code\parse\parselo.cpp
Line: 633
[This filename points to the location of a file on the computer that built this executable]

Call stack:
------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------

Claimed line 6061 = $Trail:
Real line 6061 = $Subsystem: turret07,0.833,1.0

After deleting the entry for the Sobek, I get the same error...
This is scary.  Very scary. 

[Dark Hunter]

The line in the parser doesn't correspond to the line in a notepad-read table file. Are there any Terran ships you added?

[Snail]

Yes, the GTMI Aule (or Shark right now). Errr... bump the release date to December 11th 2012 
All the ships that I have added are in the campaign's profile.
