Code bug, Goober's fault.

Chill. It has checkpoints. Just use your Slammers and your wingmen.

The beam overload sequence has been made a little easier in SVN.

God forbid the last mission put up a fight! (The only really unfair thing about it is the FPS raep caused by the Karunas.)

Any progress on figuring out the timing bug?

My only problem with the last mission was

Spoiler:

the Altan Orde (I think it was called) would get absolutely shafted by corvettes, fighters, the Carthage, everything. Managed to keep it alive on 2% after a few tries, medium difficulty. You have to attack two corvettes (Delta wing are useless) while fighters swarm you and you really have to struggle to stay alive but also complete your beam disarming objective in a minute or less if it takes you time to get there. Sometimes you have too many directives active in this campaign it's difficult to know what to prioritise. Really glad you had the checkpoints!

Blargh... at one point I actually was playing in debug mode, and wondering why the frak I was getting 5 FPS. I only figured it out after I had a chance to look at my HUD and saw all the RAM allocation stuff in the upper right corner...

Yeah, I just beat it by filling my banks entirely with Slammers except one bank of Paveways, and using those on some beam cannons. (that was the hardest bit for me at least... I always lost one of the forward Karunas to beamspam. Or got pwned by flying into one ). Excellent 'epilogue' mission (Sunglare), and very, very good credits soundtrack. Actually, all the BP music is invariably awesome.

(I did notice that your credits.tbl is the one from AoA, not WiH. Bug?)

I'll write a more detailed review in a few days, maybe after I get settled back at uni. For the moment, I'll only say that WiH was the single most atmospheric, compelling FS campaign I've played to date. Can't wait for more.

Can I get your debug log? Or did I miss it earlier?

Feel free to paste it into the post in code tags.

Your pleas have been answered, brave warrior! The next patch will see the active armor on the Altan Orde and Katana improved.

No, we tacked the BP2 credits on after the AoA credits.

[Shivan Hunter]

Ah, I see it now. Woot, I can find out where your awesome music comes from

[General Battuta]

For those of you stuck on Delenda Est, what would you think about us patching in a helpful feature? It would track the number of times you started the mission via PPV, and when that count exceed six or seven, it would flash some kitten pictures at mission start.

Feedback please.

[Infamus]

i did a small adjustment
Vulcan/Maul: tech description, increased Vulcan RoF from 0.2 sec to 0.185 sec
Rapier: increased energy usage from 0.4 to 0.65 for balance (its a heavy gun)
Gattler: changed the sound so it doesn't sound like a plasma cannon (custom built) and gave it a very small trail as to it being a EM propelled weapon
UX Accelerator: tech description

(Don't worry its a VP; i love VP_MAKE) That's it! I hope you like it

@General Battuta, yeah i just thought of that too, thanks man
i had the thing end up hanging on at 10 percent on EASY and NO bombs hit it, just maxims

EDIT: removed upload

Nice effort, but honestly? It's better if things like that are distributed without packing them in VPs. Makes it easier for us to see if you did it right.

Also, the fact that the UX is missing tech descriptions is not an oversight, while the weapon is pretty much finished, it's also not used in the main campaign, which is why we haven't written a description.
Also, vps built with VPMAKE do NOT follow the standard set for VP files. Just so you know, they are technically not guaranteed to work.

Oh, and the weapons tbl you included won't work, because you messed up the filename.

[General Battuta]

That said, thank you for the collaborative contribution - we'll definitely take a look at some of the suggested buffs/nerfs. I think some of them may be in order (Rapier energy use nerf, Vulcan ROF buff.) Scalpel's already been buffed on internal to serve as a combo shield breaker and disruptor.

[Infamus]

@General Battuta, thx man

@The E, it doesn't matter if it is .tbm or .tbl they are the same thing, text files, either extension will work, i know these things

Also, what do you use to make VP's?

[The E]

Maja, or cfilearchiver (which is a commandline-only tool).

[Infamus]

where can i get a copy of a VP version of 'cfileachiever'?

Attached to this post.

Edit: I have tried to make a vp with VP MAKE Maja and cfilearchiver none of them work with BP for some reason, but if i set a primarylist in the mod.ini to the root (BPWiH) and splapp the data into, well... the data folder, it works just fine

Edit: here are the uncompressed files

Right. . . . . .

Spoiler:

you are SO lucky that I thoroughly enjoyed watching Steeles glorious crusade and getting impaled on shrapnel while having a nervous breakdown only to end up with a well-done tan. .  As i'm now four hours short of sleep. . . . . . .

 
Also I saw Kittens. . . . . . . And I hated them.

So... I flew THROUGH the spinny bit on a Karuna. I thought I was going to get owned when I saw it rotating towards my Uriel on full burn, but I clipped right through at the cost of ~40% hull integrity

[Spoon]

Just had to say that the Capship mission/campaign is quite glorious and here's hoping there will be a few more of them in WiH2
