Re: RELEASE - Tides of Darkness (campaign)
No no no, blaming others is far easier and more convenient  :p
And my excuse is that I joined HLP 17 days after this was released, I still had so much mods to play back then

Edit: Ugh, mission 2.
No matter what I do, It's either me or the ravana that dies. Usually the Ravana, at random durations. So many beams and so many fighters on your ass.
It gets rather frustrating after 15 attempts.

Re: RELEASE - Tides of Darkness (campaign)
Haha...yeah...I have no sense of mission balance.
I fail that mission routinely too, I think my pass rate is like 5% during testing. If I ever go back and re-do it I'd have made it like half as hard.
Just cheat :P

Re: RELEASE - Tides of Darkness (campaign)
Had to skip a few missions because some missions are just plain unfair toward the player.
A lot of: Disarm all beam cannons everywhere and at the same time! MAKE IT SNAPPY! missions, kinda reminded me of DoS  :p and when all warships are firing beams at each other, my initial reaction (oddly enough :P ) isn't to move inside close range to help disarm.
I liked the explaination for the capella supernova but the story in general made little sense to me and wasn't very involving.
I hate to say this but in all complete and open honesty, I didn't liked it too much

Re: RELEASE - Tides of Darkness (campaign)
I played the first 2 Missions and must say very funny so long.

In mission 2 i died 3 times in a row by Beam fire. After them i noticed the chatter they say move away..
Yeah Droid do you hate the player  :wtf: and kill him quickly at the start of Mission 2.  :beamz:  :lol:

But if you know this - they will be nothing kill you again. Move move. *gg*

I played on "Very Easy" and the Ravana survived with 11% Hull.
I think on "Medium" this mission will be a nightmare  :D

I did forget to mention that I really did liked taking on the lucy with the beam equipped fighter. After all, if you can't defeat the beamz0r's, join them in their madness  :lol:

I remember giggling madly about attacking fighters with the STinys. Something about the massive overkill.

It would have been very useful in the last mission to have that.....

Re: RELEASE - Tides of Darkness (campaign)
Yeah I forgot to check the date on the previous post before posting. Still, I just recently played it through, except on the last mission where I got stuck.


There's also two missions that CTD'd on startup, but I don't see anyone else having that problem.....

Re: RELEASE - Tides of Darkness (campaign)
Actually, Kosh, I think I do have the CTD problem as well, but since I couldn't be bothered to ask for help here (I still can't), I resorted to CMD + SHIFT + S.

Re: RELEASE - Tides of Darkness (campaign)
Shift + S shrinks the game's window to the taskbar. Not sure why he included CMD though since that is not a key on he keyboard but looks like the abbreviation for 'command'. If the game crashes, I have to resort to Ctrl+Alt+Delete usually though.

You're clueless.
What does that do?

Ctrl-Shift-S unlocks all missions of a campaign in the techroom.

Re: RELEASE - Tides of Darkness (campaign)
Tides of Darkness  With Mediavps_3612 miss SF Dragon textures, if you look in the tech room with 3612 mediavps and select sf dragon its look like invisible ship. it the only bug (if i could call it) i have found.

Sorry for my spelling

Re: RELEASE - Tides of Darkness (campaign)
and here I thought battuta split it.

Try with 3.6.10 mediavps.

Not my fault FSU decided to go **** all and screw backwards compatibility. Sure as hell ain't going back and fixing **** cause god knows whats just gonna break again the next time around >.>

Re: RELEASE - Tides of Darkness (campaign)
FSU has never promised backwards compatibility, assets come and go with each release.  Why that impression was ever made is beyond me.  If you depend on specific assets that exist in the mediavps, you're better off including those assets yourself than relying on them to always be around.  The only things the MediaVPs are supposed to do is enhance retail data.

There need to be, like, guidelines, for how to handle dependencies like that and stuff.
