stuck on a mission
on: June 24, 2007, 05:06:59 pm
on 17.Rebels & Renegades


The Iceni is destroyed everytime I paly, I shoot the living hell out of the asteroids but they dont blow up! hell I cant even see the asteroids, all I see is a huge white square and when I target it It just gives me the lead square, witch I shoot at that lead thing and it doesnt even blow up!

I need help, Iv played this stupid mission 10 times now and I cant beat it. I have gotten as far as all enemies dead but I cant destroy the roids so they destroy the Iceni.

Make sure that you're using OpenGL and that you've got Jpeg/Tga Textures turned on.

normally if you fail 5 times you can skip, but does it work in the SOC loops? and ya, you probably have jpeg/tga textures turned off. they should be on.

He was joking. :nod: :nervous: Yes. There are no cheat codes for FS2. They ruin games. :nod:

:nod: :nervous: True... no cheats for FS2... especially not by typing "www.freespace2.com" to turn them on and ~ + i to make yourself invunerable, ~ + shift + i to make others invunerable,  ~ + k to instant-kill, and some other stuff... :nod: :nervous:

remember though, when you cheat on a level on FS2 that doesn't immediately run into the next mission (via the incoming transmission screen or something), cheats force you to replay the level.  So it still won't ruin the game.

However, yeah, check your video settings using the FS Open launcher.
Could we with ink the ocean fill, and were the skies of parchment made
Were every stalk on earth a quill, and every man a scribe by trade
To write the love of God above, would drain the ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole, though stretched from sky to sky!

Actually no, you can continue the campaign after you enter cheat codes in FS2 during a mission. What you mean was only in Freespace 1 ;)

So, Cheats can ruin the game.

B2T:

Interesting thing, invulnerable Asteroids, i remember a similarly problem in the mission, there was the Iceni itself invulnerable, because all Rockets, Lasers and Asteroids fly through it  :D

I always end up cheating in another way.  I can never seem to keep the Hinton alive, so I always extract the mission and edit it so the Hinton is both protect-ship and ship-guardian.  Then all you have to worry about is asteroids.

I'm guessing that the jpgtga thing is Chaos' problem, or missing MVPs.

That mission was a damn pain, and really pushed my skills to the limit. Honestly, dont bother trying to keep the Hinton alive. Theres no medals or rewards for doing so. Just scan it, the Iceni, and keep the Iceni alive. Take out the Sobek's beam cannons ASAP. Just pound the snot out of it with tempests.

Man i HATED that mission. There was always one Bakha or Tauret flying around 3 klicks off, and auto target hostiles would keep it targeted and not the closest asteroid...

knock out the sobek' main guns with hornets and tempests, the iceni will take pot shots at it but wont make the effort to finish it off

once its neutered, u can focus on the asteroids

or ~+0 until you get BFRed and PWNZ0R the Sobek. Or ~+9 until you get helios and slam a couple up its ass; you can dumbfire with ~+w. I found that out.
