I am away on a business trip.  I'll be back early next week.

[IceFire]

Just managed to get started playing it.  I love what you guys have done with it...its really great so far.  I'm keeping a few notes and will post them later.  What I am having a bit of trouble with is the backgrounds...I have a really nice full sky but no nebulas and just the sun.

Do you have lightspeed's nebula pack?  All the backgrounds use the lightspeed nebulas.

Which I'll include in a VP with the final release.

Hrrmm...I thought I did.  Are those in mv_effects as part of the Upgrade Project?

[Admiral Nelson]

No, not until 3.6.10.  Here is Wanderer's version.

Excellent!  I will try that.

I'm also having a bit of trouble with Northwest Passage.  The briefing and everything appears that you've won...everything jumps out intact and so forth but the mission is a failure.  I might have to take a look at that unless its a known issue.

[Admiral Nelson]

Crap, sounds like an old version of the campaign file got mixed in....  The original mission had multiple goals for the convoy departure and so this could happen.  Mobius fixed this someplace along the way.  Let me see.

[edit] Here is a corrected file.

Yep, ultimately all of these problems are probably my own fault

I'm really impressed with the work everyone has done.  The game looks beautiful these days and its nice to see everything updated, fixed, spell corrected, and so forth to fit.  I'll hopefully finish on the weekend with the play through and post any final comments but everything looks good so far.

[Admiral Nelson]

Any further comments for us?  I'd like to generate the voice acting scripts once you are happy.

One question for you.  Why does Russik abandon the Vidar?  The capture the Vidar mission begins with him almost to a jump point, with the Vidar just sitting there.  Did it suffer a propulsion casualty?  Something should be added to the mission to explain.

[IceFire]

I forget if I had a good reason for that or not.  I wanted to keep things rolling along and initially I had planned for that mission to be the last but that seemed a bit too rushed at the time so I kept things rolling.  I think the Vidar had served its purpose, he had figured out which hybrids were important, and he knew the GTVA was on to him so he used the Vidar to stall them.

I've played the whole thing through and am very pleased.  I think there is a bug with the campaign file in the last mission as well because I was successful but the mission failed.  Again if its a known error then no problem.  Everything else is fine!

That's more than possible - during testing it was run through the mission simulator, which ignores the campaign file, and I did change the goals.  I'll have to take a look when I get home on Wednesday.

Glad you liked it!

EDIT:  And with regard to the abandonment of the Vidar, it made sense to me at the time when I played through.  If you gents like, I can add a line or two in a briefing or in the mission somewhere to explain it, but I think its pretty intuitive the way it stands.

[MP-Ryan]

Here's the missions package with the correct campaign file.  Try it out again, make sure you finish the last mission correctly.

Just jumping in with an offer to voice act on this when you are done! 

I remember playing warzone way back in the time mysts. I gave up on it though as no matter that I did I could not pass that damn mission where that cruiser (i think) is hit by the 2 rakshasas. The Shasas totaled it every time. Ahh well maybe I'll do better next time round..

 

[TrashMan]

Whens a non-voiceacted release coming? I can hardly wait!

Just gimme the filez..gimme, gimme!

[Mobius]

Ehm...

I'm sorry, people. My computer left me alone, a few more days and everything should be ok...

[Mad Bomber]

Does no one visit the Sagitta board? I have my mission 1 Alpha 2 lines ready, and no idea of where to put them.

[Hades]

Will there be HTL Vidar(i know it looks good already but it would look better ).

I don't think any of us have used that board.

That said, I'm going to create a gmail address for the FSCRP, along with a FileFront account.

I have also been seriously slammed with RL issues lately.  I have even been asked to fly to India this weekend (    ) which has killed my preparation of the full voice acting scripts, etc...
