Gah... as usual, I managed to get myself inundated in work and not inundated in Warzone.

Someone finish the blasted cutscene... I'll go through the rest and make sure things are up to snuff.

[Mobius]

Any feedback about the changes I made?

[Mustang19]

I wish there was... but I didn't remember to play.  Maybe I'll get to it today.

Hi Folks,

for your entertainment and to encourage all voice actors to continue to work on the project
I prepared the first four missions of Warzone as a small demo

I tested it with FS2Open 3.6.9 and 3.6.8zeta mediavps and some XT builds (3.6.10) with 3.6.10beta mediavps

all of you working on Warzone and with a TSP account can find a d/l link there...

for all of you without a TSP account, be patient 

[Koth]

By the way, are there any roles I could voiceact?

[Tinman]

yes, I am working on it - I will contact you soon 

[Mobius]

Remember to use TSP, we spent a lot of time adding the scripts there.

What about the cutscene? It's been 10 days...

[MP-Ryan]

I am in the process of being migrated from one unit at work to another; Jill is also ill at the moment.  The only FreeSpace I've played recently was an hour of multi today for my sanity.

I am sticking a note to my monitor right now to look at it March 6th.

[Mustang19]

Finally got to look at it. The background looks nice and it looks like you changed the timing of certain "scenes" a bit, but other than that I honestly can't see many differences. All in all, the cutscene looks like it's in good shape. The only thing that might be added are the flyby scenes, which I'll get to if I have the time.

If someone else would like to give it a try, attached is my "camera plane". Use every-time set-camera-position/facing to make flyby sequences.

You can do them with camera-facing, too...

[Mobius]

*cough* *cough*

[Mustang19]

Hey... it's on the to-do list... 

[Mobius]

Ah, ok

[Mobius]

May I know why the Camera model is a fighter?

A ship is easier to handle as we can set the speed we want with cap-waypoint-speed...

[Mustang19]

Fighter AI allows a wider range of AI orders. I've still been able to use cap-waypoint-speed on the fighter without problems. You just need to use AI-play-dead at times to make sure that the fighter doesn't fly around on it's own.

[Mobius]

Yeah, but the "wide range of AI orders" doesn't match the needings of a cutscene creator. What's the point in having a camera engaging the enemy, for example?

[Mustang19]

Personal preference. Sometimes it's nice to have the camerplane "guard" a target. Go ahead and change the flag to "cruiser" if you want.

[Mobius]

Erm...mine wasn't an offense

Let's keep it then, ok?

I ran through the campaign with the 1/13/08 dataset using the xt 3/12 build.  Found a few issues

1) The campaign advancement goals in E2M1 and E3M7 pointed to directives that are incorrectly spelled or missing.  The mission files may have been modified and the campaign file was not

2) Taurus wing in E2M4 had two waves and was launched from the destroyer.  However the destroyer would often get destroyed before the taurus' first wave had been destroyed.  Since the destruction of taurus wing is required to continue in the mission, it was left in a state of limbo.  (i thought this was fixed in code).  My fix was to just drop the number of waves in taurus wing to 1.

3) Whoever did the background graphics and layouts in the missions needs a seal of approval.

[Mobius]

1) Nobody touched the .fc2 file...I'll take a look later.

2) I also thought this was fixed in the code...

3) What do you mean? Nelson did the backgrounds. What about the layouts? Some have been modified for balance.
