Decided to contribute something to a better TBP, too. It's just a small annoyance but it's that kind of small annoyance that never gets fixed because it's so small. I updated Mission 1 - 4 of the EMW Demo, so the Briefings show the correct ships now, instead of weird bull****.

If you can put that to any use, I will do the same for RaiderWars.

EDIT: Forum says, Upload folder is full. Therefore, I send the file to hip and IP.

You can mail me at [email protected], I think you'll find I updated all the icons in Raider Wars.

Those 3 are courtesy of you?

[IPAndrews]

Yes. All very minor changes but it took a week to get around to doing them.

[jr2]

Well... IPAndrews, Karajorma, Orpheus, and Skullar... thx much!   

[IPAndrews]

Best way to thank us? Make a campaign .

[jr2]

Err.... heh, maybe someone with some skillz could do that.  Any campaign I made would most likely be considered an insult, not thanks.  XD    Either that, or it would be completely awesome... and released in the year 2012. 

[karajorma]

The glide changes weren't mine. I think Backslash and Turey were responsible.

[IPAndrews]

It's a great change. Looks awesome.

[Vidmaster]

Make a campaign .

Fortune Hunters 2260 is about 60% finished
Dark Children is about 30% finished (had some major problems with FRED concerning some ships, I had to do a lot of work with a text editor, but 3.4b should fix those)
Pawn is 20% finished, mostly concept and early testing. I'll get me some help on this one.
Fortune Hunters 2261 is rougly to 40% finished

Still far to few campaigns if you consider the amount of work YOU did on the whole TBP mod, but still... 

Unfortunately, none will be finished for Christmas. Sorry pals, no present from Vidmaster for you.

EDIT: Sorry to mock you again on this, but what's with the Glide_enabled Fury variants? Included too?
          Don't rip my head off IP or delecte this post, PLZ! I just love the glide feature.

[IPAndrews]

See last entry in earlier post.

[Vidmaster]

  THANKS! 

[Vidmaster]

Another important question: Will all those fixes also be available when you use the Inf build? (Do the new Glide codes/AI fix belong to the BtrL.exes ?).

Some missions (including some of mine) have to be played with that build or they make a lot of trouble and no sense.

[karajorma]

Both builds are identical apart from the compiler switches used.

Oh, I should warn. D3D won't work. You can select it in the launcher but it will simply run OpenGL same as we did for BtRL. The support work needed to tell the few people with a genuine problem with OpenGL to use a specially downloaded D3D enabled build was FAR less than dealing with thousands of people who otherwise wouldn't have read the instructions and would have run it on D3D mode.

I will be sticking a D3D enabled build up on my webspace for the few people who do actually need it.

[G0atmaster]

lol I'm hitting myself now.  I spent all day yesterday and so far today trying to download TBP 3.4 and the 3.4a update.  Will 3.4b be compatible with 3.4a?

[Vidmaster]

I guess it will be just a patch...

[G0atmaster]

Hey, how is the glide supposed to work in this?  I just played BTRL, and it's NOTHING like that.  There's no noticable effect at all when I use my "activate glide" key.  What am I doing wrong?

[Steel Prophet]

Maybe you're using the wrong key?

[jr2]

IIRC, it's Q... but check to see what your glide key is... get up to speed, and hit the key... is it a toggle, or a momentary switch?  Try just pressing it, then changing direction (toggle), or holding it, then changing direction (momentary).
