Don't hate on the username. I find it amusing.
Besides, its true.

I agree, I find it quite amusing too

Personally I disagree. But your name, your choice.

And yeah, that accident sounds...well, um, painful. Hope you have a quick recovery.

Thanks for your concern  . The stiches (suches?) come out next week. The plot and overall story is roughly designed and am building a mission structure to suit at the moment. That and reading all of the help topics in FRED. It's all coming back to me now when I used to FRED a little in FS1. Yep it was that long ago. Will do the walkthrough tonight I think and the next day or two figure out how the campaign is going to go with the story. I think I am able to do most of what I want to do, however some things may have to be shown via cutscene so when it comes to working out if that is the case, it should be an interesting read/learning experience on creating those.
Now I was reading somebody elses topic on a campaign that he is creating and he explained that he didn't want to come out in the beginning and announce it for fear of his idea getting 'shot down' so to speak or just genereal disbeleif and the assumption this nobody guy will not even get to the final stages. I think I may have come across like this to some people. And to be honest, I haven't even considered that until I read this chaps post about his campaign that he is most of the way through. I would have liked to have done that but I don't think that if I would have kept it secret I would have finished it. Meaning, that now that I have told everyone, I HAVE to live up to your expectations! I don't want to make a disbeliever out anyone - because I said I was going to complete this campaign idea I have. I have almost no friends who are into computer games in Australia (many favour consoles) let alone modding. So the time of one year to finish this project 'hopefully' is not too unreasonable.
BTW digging through some old FS1 missions I created before the turn of the century I found this gem I forgot about where the 'evil' Vasudan ace was named after a girl at our school and her voice was a sample I recorded of our dog barking. Oh yeah, those were the times

It's a damn shame this forum doesn't allow avatars or images in signatures; I think it would be a riot to see what this guy would have.

Just an update to Project: 'Megaton'. I have pretty much the campaign mapped out on paper and I have completed the walkthrough mission in FRED open. However there was an interesting/frustrating part in FRED in creating a SEXP in the events editor to do with directive text in regards to the scanning of the cargo if I remember correctly. I couldn't use the 'or' argument in the way that they show in the walkthrough but I could still manage create the event. Mine just looked more messy than what was shown. Anywho, I thought I had better update because I said I would and I am going to complete this. Yep.

Oh and don't feel obliged to reply - just an update

BTW, is this guy -> picking his nose? Because if he is, he is copying me......

[Scourge of Ages]

Remember, there's a FRED board if you need help or just want advice...

[Rodo]

Glad to see you are into it, FRED can be discouraging most of the times but don't give up
And as Scourge said, you can go over FRED section if you have found a problem that you can't fix yourself (in regards of sexp's of course).

[Jabba]

Cool thanks 

[FelixJim]

My advice as someone who I believe is in a fairly similar position is to make sure you're happy with your FREDing abilities before starting on your "big plan". Otherwise you'll end up having to redo your earlier missions once you have got the hang of it properly to bring them up to the standard you'll be producing by the end (which you may not mind doing, and fair enough if that's the case).
I'd do a few stand-alone (and not to be released) missions first at least (or joining the FRED Academy is a very good alternative).
But, don't feel pressured. Especially with release dates; you'll be the norm if you're a few years late, hehe.

No, he is just doing the Dr Evil pose from Austin powers! Wish you luck on your campaign! I have one in the works.... so far it's 0.00009% done! Good luck!

[Jabba]

Thanks for the helps everyone. I am taking all of your advice on board and it all seems to make sense. I really like the hard light community BTW. Everyone is much friendlier here than some other forums I have been and gone on. Also everyone seems to be quite humorous at times. I like humour. Especially when it's funny.....

[Wobble73]

Where are our manners, you haven't been beamed yet have you?




and yes, there are one or two witty posters around HLP. I came here for the mods and stayed for the humour.

Avoid the beam and you won't get hit, pilot.

Oh, seriously, did you just keep on doing ;-)'s just to get yourself over a hundred posts?

No, he seems to be at "it" again. Check the date of posting in his post. Then check the "Last edited..." part. He's messing up his old posts. I don't know if he's deliberately trying to render entire discussions worthless or what but whatever his motives are, that is really stupid and annoying. Monkeyworthy even, if I dare say so aloud.

[achtung]

I fixed your link in your post sir.

Have a wonderful day.

[Unknown Target]

Monkey worthy indeed.
