Hey, I found something here that skippy might like for his list: http://www.gamekult.com/forum/lire_n157818/

contains some campaigns I have never heard of, like the babylon 5 campaign tales of shamus.

Interesting piece of info.

I think you mean Tales of EAS Janus

Which you won't have heard of because it never worked on anything after release 2 (unless someone has fixed it recently).

[starlord]

Nevertheless, it should be preserved!

Who knows, perhaps TBP team will manage to "convert" it to newer releases. And if not, this campaign does justify the fact of finding an old release to make it work (babylon campaigns are not quite that numerous).

Janus was a release 1 campaign, right? I think there was a patch to make it compatible to R2, but TBP is way ahead of that. Updating that campaign would be difficult.

EAS Janus starts great, but gets a little boring at the middle. I never finished it completely, I think I stopped 3 missions before the final one.

Actually Tales of EAS Janus is included in the Babylon Project Campaign pack v1.0.  It will play on the current version of the Babylon project.  Here is a link to the thread.

I know it will play, but there are some problems concerning ships, briefings and script.

Oh, welcome: A new FS campaign (1 or 2) is always appreciated. However, did you ever consider a quick translation to english? This would make it quite more popular.

It's possible that I'll translate my campaign to English in future, but now I don't have lot of time (nowadays I have lot of exams at university.)

A flaky English translation wouldn't be any better than the Slovak. FreeSpace is a simple enough game, you can figure out what's going on without reading the briefings.

Hmmm I could write for all missions short description in English. That could help. I let you know when I do it that.

It's a little easier to do mission translations nowadays.  All you have to do is use the Voice Acting Manager to export your mission text into a script.  Then run the script through BabelFish or some other translation program.  Paste the translated text back into the mission using Wordpad or something.  Voila, (crappy) translated missions.

[karajorma]

Yeah but you should be using the proper translation system and an altered tstrings.tbl.


One of these days I'll have to clean up the 5 minute Java hack I used to generate the BtRL tstrings.tbl and release it so no one has any excuse.

Looks like interesting. I'll try it
