If anyone needs a fredder experienced in most things in fred2 (i cant do the long lines of SEXPs yet  )  plz post on this  thread. note i can only make missions, can't really participate, stuff like that, and i use retail only. Thanks!

[IPAndrews]

You can FRED but you can't do SEXPs? 

[IPAndrews]

Oh never mind. Don't worry about it. I can drive but I can't use a steering wheel.

[Titan]

i can't the long lines of SEXPs like the ones for Sleipner in the tutorial........  :

[nubbles526]

so what are you asking for?

[Titan]

Me? I'm asking if anyone needs a fredder.........

[TopAce]

Oh never mind. Don't worry about it. I can drive but I can't use a steering wheel.

That's not a problem as long as your brakes and reflexes work.

That said, I think Titan only needs an opportunity to enhance his FREDding skills.

Titan, have a look at the FRED Academy.  Seems like the perfect thing for you.

By can't i mean not persistent enough to do them..... 

[Cobra]

Well then, if you're not persistent you'll never become a decent FREDer, now, will you?

Still, it's a good idea to actually try and make some missions, and try a few for the FA. I sucked at FRED before I went and made a mission for the FA.

I initially found all that Slepiner thing difficult the first time I read it,but I solved th eproblem in no-time: I have simply wrote on a paper what was written there(variable basics)and read it,then I made my own version of the Orion capture operation.... In one minute I learned how to use variables.

Read Karajorma's FreeSpace FAQ:there are some hints for n00b FREDders. Also,try to DL FRED 2 Open ASAP. I've DL it only this summer and I found it excellent,100 times better than the normal FRED 2.


Good luck!

By not persistant its just i cant stand reading the stuff then copying it......

By not persistant its just i cant stand reading the stuff then copying it...... 

So essentialy, by "I can't use" you mean "I don't like to use" SEXPs?

THE LONG LINES OF SEXPs LIKE THE ONES FOR SLEPNIER IN THE TUTORIAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE LONG LINES OF SEXPs LIKE THE ONES FOR SLEPNIER IN THE TUTORIAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, but those SEXPs are common in most fairly-complicated missions in campaigns.  They're one of the basic skills you have to learn before hiring yourself out for FRED jobs, because if someone finds out you can do something that reasonably simple, you'll be out of a FRED job nice and quick.

And calm down.  No need to use all caps and LONG LINES OF EXCLAMATION MARKS!!!!!!!!!!!!  We understand you just fine otherwise.

[Mobius]

Using "<" ">" and "=" the first time you run FRED isn't that encouraging...

Concentrate on more common sexps like "is-destroyed-delay" and "has-departed-delay" and start making simple single missions. Then try new SEXPs and learn how to use them.

The FRED walkthrough isn't that effective with noob FREDders because " the basics and advanced" are put together. It should have been divided in multiple parts. I found it almost useless the first time I checked it.

If you reach a good level you can work with me for....I don't know,uhm....Colossus. Yeah,Colossus.

I found it very useful. In fact I went straight from it to making my own missions which although not that great in story terms aren't that bad in terms of FREDding.

[Mobius]

I had some problems because of the language. I understand English very well but something strange happened when I read the walktrough for the first time...I still don't know why.

Anyway English/American members shouldn't have such problems.

[Titan]

uhhhhhhhhhhh-huh..........  :

P.S. i'm getting to work on variables.. i read that part of the tutorial 20 times and im slowly starting to understand it......... 

Edit: can someone tell my what inferno is? i keep hearing it and dont have a clue about what it is. 

[karajorma]

Inferno is one of the big hosted campaigns. Just look on the main forum page about halfway down the hosted section.
