I may have already been dealt my punishment for this, while testing the mission earlier today.



The directives are censored, but as you can probably tell by all of the red in that window, things went to pot pretty quickly after my sensors were blown out by one of those many, many AAA beams.  Owie.

Uhm...why you're not using FS Open? Does it have something to do with your pic and what you're trying to show us? I'm confused.

[Goober5000]

Nobody has to use FSOpen.

Uhm...why you're not using FS Open?

My preference is retail FS2.  I seem to recall another recent thread about that topic, though.

I'm the master of evil fredding. The title speaks for itself. (although it was actually an unintentional bug that got me it)

Care to elaberate ?

I quite liked the old public enemy.. title......

In mission 14c in PI, the player goes through about 20 minutes of stuff and presumably gets all immersed in the story, but may die just before the end (that is, if he/she sucks ). I had intended to make the player invulnerable at that point but somehow forgot about it in the initial release of the campaign. It was fixed a while ago though.

I thought the mission with the EMP missiles was evil enough. The AI shouldn't be allowed to have those damn things.

It's worse when your wingmen have them, since they don't consider how near you are to their target before firing, and you really shouldn't retaliate.

...erm...

Not that I would ever do such a thing, of course.

I don't know about you, but once in a great while, I feel like I've got to stick it to the player....  That bastard gets to sit back, in his comfortable chair, play the mission, and not think twice about it.  On the other hand, I'm stuck in front of my monitor each spare moment I have, for days on end getting the mission *just right*.  Just occasionally, I've got to make sure said player gets his comeuppance, like this little *ahem* "sensor malfunction"....



I'm not a nice person, but something tells me that somebody can one-up this little indescretion pretty easily.

Actually, this was done... in the FS-Port no less.  In V2.3, during the mission when you're supposed to capture the HOL cruiser Ramses ("The Hammer and the Anvil", I think), the Taranis had been changed to a Lilith, then had a change-alt-name to Cain class.  I think its actually a Cain in the current v3.0.x releases.

--- well the levi has blue glowmaps and the feni red one ---
(if you are using HT&L)

From a tactical standpoint, it would make more sense if the ships look functionally identical as an element of surprise (and making what was done in this thread even eviler). I don't want the training wheels of being able to visually identify the meaner of the two. *goes into MediaVPs and begins copying and renaming Fenris textures to Leviathan ones*
