PLEA FOR MORE CAMPAIGNS!!!

To TBP Mission Builders: Release your campaigns like you nornally do, host'em where you like (we still need them hosted individually so we don't drive 56k'ers crazy) but just let me know and I'll download'em and roll'em into the campaign pack.

To TBP fans: I know of at least on TBP campaign that is MIA, that being the "Honor of Omega." It's listed on the official TBP Homepage but the link is DEAD.
If you have this campaign (or any others that I missed) please let me know and get'em to me and I'll roll'em into the campaign pack!

END PLEA

Are all of these going to be bundled with 3.4a?

[hip63]

Nope

The resaon being that as new campaigns are released, the Campiagn Pack can be updated, uploaded and downloaded much easier that having to rebuild the 3.4 versions of TBP and having everyone having to re-download a huge Gig+ file just because some new campaign is released.

I just noticed that Vidmaster has released a new campaign, "Fortune Hunters - 2259"

Official thread here:
http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,50262.0.html

This, of course, will be rolled into the next version of the TBP Campaign Pack in coming weeks (maybe it will have some company, who knows )

[Vidmaster]

pm me before building the next version and I fix some of the typing errors and minor problems still in the most recent version
I dont want to upload another update now and write "hey, people redownload AGAIN so that "e" in line 158 isn't missing anymore" or something like that.

[Vidmaster]

okay, online. Just download as usual.

[PSI-KILLER]

Downloading it; been many years for Janus

[IPAndrews]

Fortune Hunters is nice.

[Skullar]

Played furtune hunters, and I enjoyed it !

I appreciate the small things that "add" to the TBP universe. For example the hidden Raiders outpost with the refitted Nova.

[Vidmaster]

I worked a llllllooooonnnggg time on the script (the whole one, not only 2259). Actually, I intended to make this campaign for I've found her (another B5 space game) or to write some sort of fan fiction...                   ...but then I said to myself: Hey, you're playing Freespace and all the mods since the original was released, why the hell did you never learn FRED ? What came out can be enjoyed at the link above

[Skullar]

scriptwriting can be Looooooooooooooooooooooooooong, i know that !!!!

The Earth Alliance Civil War script is complete, and I started writing it in  2001 I think. Or earlier ?

[terran_emperor]

ouch and at least that's a strright up and out war. Imagine trying to do the Telepath crisis -->Sorry the The Psi War.

[TrashMan]

Half the campaigns don't work properly anymore. (with 3.4a)

Tales of EA Janus being one of hte bigger offenders. I had to tweak half the missions, sine ther were missing ships (Nemessis), invalid dock points (shutllte picking up that stranded Aurora didn't trigger) and a few other things.
Some other campaigns have problems too.

[IPAndrews]

Why don't you guys band together and update the missions? 

[Vidmaster]

Nemessis

which ship is that ? better: what kind of ship was that ?

[TrashMan]

Nova-x


B.t.w - is it just me or are Earth-Minbari war ship TERRIBLY underpowered.
I know Sharlins are da bomb and taking one out was allways coupled with HEAVY losses for the EA, but hell, 3 novas and 4 hyperions can't get it below 50% hull. This is preposterus!

Human weapons didn't suck that much (as evidenced by the fact that the first salvo from a few hyperion cruisers when the humans and minbari first met damaged a sharlin enough to kill off several very important people...yet in the game a few hyperions can't manage to get 2% hull integrity off a sharlin )

And yet, in the Long Twilight Struggle, three Narn Cruisers whose tech is about on par with the EA managed to disable a Shadow Battlecrab (large one that carries fighters), which is a hell of a lot more advanced than a Sharlin.  It's odd, isn't it?

[Vidmaster]

That's just Freespace. The EA ships don't come close enough to do real damage.

AND the Narn use beams in that episode, beam tech which they have taken from the Centauri and sold to the EA. But during the war, Earthforce didn't have those.

[TrashMan]

Theres a difference between "not doing much damage" and "doing so little damage that 1000 of your best ships can't even dent the paint on mine".
IMHO, it's just retarded.

[Vidmaster]

in that case, play with the hitpoints in FRED, that's what I am doing all the time
