Any help for beginnerer?
Hello there TBP people here! I as big B5 fan would like to see people enjoy this game, but then we go to the lag of campains, so I decided to do something about it! I opened FRED and I putted three Narn cruisers and four Centuri cruisers and after that... I had no clue. Could someone here direct me somekind of guide to work on "events" or somekind of that to make sure that my missions will have some storyline?

The mission designer has a walkthrough.

Look in the help menu.
Karajorma's Freespace FAQ. It's almost like asking me yourself.

The main obstacle is the PATIENCE you need ! :)

But as long as you have a problem with that, that means the fire of TBP enthusiasm is still burning in your veines :)
You are welcome

I have started to FRED myself after I finished...
I am playing around with the CIVIL WAR CAMPAIGN version of severed dreams, and I have come across some issues.

1. I have made a better version of EPSILON 3 planet. It looks ALOT more canon than the ugly season 1 thingy we have. I wanted to show some screenies, but I have not yet found ouit WHERE THE HELL tbp is saving its screenies. I cant find them.

2. Yell at me, but with higher ambient light setting ( I have 100 ) it just looks better. You can at least see the silhouette against the black background, with 65 you could fly into capships without noticing their proximity.

newbie too but I tried, asked and read until I managed to put together a all new campaign, which was received well overall. Try and believe. (And download FH2259, by the way ;) )

Re: Any help for beginnerer?
Working through the walkthrough yourself is a baseline, and a test of Skullar's aforementioned patience. Once you've completed the walkthrough if you're still interested in working with FRED you'll find an enthusiastic bunch of peeps here willing answer more specific mission design questions, and then you've got the dedicated FRED forum as well...

Not to mention the Wiki and my FAQ. Both have a ton of advice and help on how to use FRED.

1. I have made a better version of EPSILON 3 planet. It looks ALOT more canon than the ugly season 1 thingy we have. I wanted to show some screenies, but I have not yet found ouit WHERE THE HELL tbp is saving its screenies. I cant find them.

They should be going in TheBayblonProject\Screenshots
