Hello to all: I've been in contact with miburo and he recently made available to me the script (complete with mission scripting) for the tales of janus campaign part 2.

Set after the devastating earth minbari war (covered in janus 1), the janus must uncover a sinister conspiracy which might shatter all hopes for a lasting peace between the earth and the minbari.
Miburo has given his approuval to use his script and also to port janus 1 to current builds. However, the nova-X nodified dreadnaught is needed in the campaign.

Should anyone be interested in working on his script, I'll send it over. Miburo's work lives on.

best regards.

mike.

Awesome! This is a very promising sign for TBP overall! Two campaigns are being assembled

Edit: Oops! Well... Maybe I can read the future?

[Vidmaster]

read more carefully LeGuille, starlord isn't working on it but searching for sb to work on it.

Anyway, not me. Far to busy.

Pushing for a sequel for a campaign that doesn't even work in 3.4b Final?

Could you send it to me starlord, I'm a pretty good writer and am willing to keep a secret. If you don't want to though, thats ok, I understand.

Winter is coming so I'll have more time.  I'll see I can get it working again.

[carbine7]

That'd be great. I always wondered what happened after the mission with the Omega-X test. The stupid ship wasn't even there and I didn't want to bother reFREDing it.

[starlord]

carbine: consider it done! I'll send it ASAP.

[FUBAR-BDHR]

Just don't hold your breath.  I may get to in a couple of weeks or it may not be until early next year.  All depends on what the priorities are between now and then.  Priorities are in this order:

Bug fix testing and bug reporting for FS2 in general.
Multiplayer (both FS2 and TBP)
3.6.10 for TBP multiplayer
New TBP campaign testing
My own missions
TBP webpage
Anything else TBP related (including getting old stuff to work)

3.6.10 ..... any ideas of when the most annoying missing-glowmap-for-texture-replacement  bug is fixed ???

just asking....

[starlord]

is there also a NOVA-X modified dread on TPB? It's neaded in janus.

I recall it being a nova dread with omega beam weaponry (very limited numbers).

[IPAndrews]

just asking....

Pointless. Mantis it instead.

[FUBAR-BDHR]

There's an Omega-X but no Nova.  I don't know what the ship is but you might be able to do something with texture replacement.

Remember 3.6.10 builds are not officially supported. 

[Trivial Psychic]

Was the Nova-X supposed to be a Nova with a rotational section inserted, or a loose Shadow-Nova hybrid, as in Den5's ITB?

[FUBAR-BDHR]

I just looked up the Nova-X and compared it to the Omega.  They are almost identical except for the weapons and paint job. 

[starlord]

Yup: that's the one, actually a step leading to the omega

[LeGuille]

The engine hub-assembly on the back of the Nova-X is more squared. The docking bay is orange, and larger. The crew size for a Nova-X is also smaller, and has 12 fewer turrets.

It's basically a slightly less powerful version of the Omega, a pre-cursor to the huge Destroyer.

[FUBAR-BDHR]

The docking bay can probably be done with texture replacement.  Disabling the extra turrets should get around at least some of the extra 12.  We don't see the crew anyway.  The only thing left is the engines. 

[Vidmaster]

I already said. Reskin it and that's it.

[starlord]

Anyone else wishing to evaluate the janus 2 script?
