Yep, it is absolutly clear. You see on faults like that, that I just started to Fred a week ago 

[TrashMan]

You learn well young Padawan.

[Jouzin]

You learn well young Padawan.

Yes master he is doing his best

[Vidmaster]

Well, judge me again when I manage to finish the campaign 
Seems like this thread has become a progress thread, which is good because it keeps me working.

Still, I have not found out which programm to use for creating .ani s...

[Vidmaster]

what exactly does "affected by gravity" do ?

[Snail]

Nothing at present. The code is not finished yet IIRC.

[Vidmaster]

and next question:
what happens when I order wing to attack multiple targets and each order has the same priority ? Do they attack all of those ships when they get the chance or do they nothing ?

[Snail]

If your initial settings box does this:
Attack Moop
Attack Poop
Attack Soup,

then it will attack the Moop first, the Poop second, and then the Soup.

If you do add-goal, then the last order it receives is the one that it will attack.

[Vidmaster]

so there is no way to let them attack different craft at the same time, aside from forming a new wing for the attacked ? dam.

[Snail]

You can tell the individual ships to do so.

[Vidmaster]

but will the next waves have the same orders then ?

[Snail]

Dunno. Never tried. Try with a friendly wing and see their orders.

[Vidmaster]

is there an event to point a ship in a dircetion ?
or would approch waypoint + limit speed to 0 work ?

EDIT: Forget it, I found the appropriate event

[Vidmaster]

when I want (or need) to include custom sounds, I have to make a .vp file right ? Well, I planned to do this for the campaign anyway, so how to do this ?

[akenbosch]

its recomended to pack stuff in a vp (prefferably with quickvp or vpcs), since its newb friendly. but if you want, you cna just put everything in data/<something> and zip it up.

[Vidmaster]

not dead yet, still working 
But I just don't get quickvp to work. Can't figure out how to create a new vp file and if I try to copy, empty and refill a existing vp, it just screws up.
Could sb plz give some instructions ?

Edit: abandoned quickvp. But vpcs works.

[Vidmaster]

problem:
i have three sunhawks pursuing a fleeing capship. I ordered them to attack and they should approach the target and fire all beams. Problem is, that sometimes they don't face the target directly, especially when closer, and are not able to fire. I cannot use a waypoint since the target ship is fleeing. Any suggestions ?

[Getter Robo G]

I'd say skip vp's for now and continue development in folders.

Once you're finished with everything THEN make the VP.

(Question, I've had trouble with vp maker programs in the past and no longer use them. IS there one out now that can support adding ONE file or set of files to a folder without having to remake the entire vp from scratch?)

[Vidmaster]

Of course I will finish the whole thing before making it vp, but I wanted to learn how to do it right now.

What's about that drazi sunhawk question ?

[Getter Robo G]

Option 1:  For the occasional (ships won't fire for no good reason). Delete mission remake from SCRATCH, you got corruption somewhere I think. This plagued me for years, I'd start a mission but ships wouldn't attack.

Option 2: you CAN use a way point. have the fleeing ship head to point X. You can use fred to adjust it's speed to amke sure the Drazi can catch it (if they are supposed to). You can also adjust the Drazi speed and or have them follow a new way point from their position to point X.

Option 3: make a invisible cube for mission purposes called X. make it non-collidable and non-targetable. have all units involved at set time head to cube X. Set Drazi to attack ship.

Does any of that make sense or help you?
