Homesick remastered?
We all love Blaise Russels campaign. Most peoples second campaign is mostly Homesick. And most people try to play it on FSOpen.

It can't now...

I have counted more than 30+ posts about Homesick bugs. These bugs can be ranged from simple annoyance to big problems such as unable to continueing the campaign.

I propose that Homesick must be remade for FSOpen compatibilty. Hundreds (perhaps even thousands) are complaining about this. I think there must be actions taken. I am not only talking about Homesick that has to be remastered, but severa, golden oldies also such as Sync.

Do you agreewith me? What do you think should happen?

Exactly. Anyone can help find bugs. You only need to play the campaign and report when something strange happens.

Re: Homesick remastered?
most of the bugs are gonna be fixed in 3.6.10 anyways.
Fun while it lasted.

call me pessimistic, but although it will sove some problems, 3.6.10 will probably make some to.

Well that is to be expected. All of the builds that I've heard about are the 3._._ series. What about 1._ and 2._?
And at what version do you expect the SCP to be perfect? Probably never, because new features will be added all the time.

If you think carefully about the question, remembering that the FS1 engine was upgraded to make the FS2 engine, you'll realise that there's a rather subtle joke in the fact that there were no 1.x and 2.x builds. :D

Re: Homesick remastered?
If you really want it fixed, start a thread in the FSCRP folder and recruit some help.  The people who've helped on current FSCRP projects don't have any special qualifications, they're just general HLPers too.

yes master snail, i will not say it again. your word is truth. inferno SCP is not anything close to fs3. fs3 will not exist. there is only fs2 and fs1.

I agree, the goldie-oldie campaigns should be restored.......... I love Homesick and I'm tired of my FSO crashing (and me having to reboot, login, and start of FSO again)................
