So i more or less completed the 1st act (7 missions) and first 2 missions of the 2nd act of my campaign (for now i call it New Front, maybe ill think of something more original later).

I need someone to test what i have so far. The briefings definatly need some revising (both merythoric and spellchecking) but ill get on that later. Also the text is going out of bounds every time i use color codes (any help on that would be apreciated).

The download is a mod. It contains several extra ships and weapons. Most are taken from the FSport some are custom ships i found usefull and a few weapons were made by me by modification of existing ones. Not all of it is used in the missions but they are integrated with a lot of the files and i didnt want to tamper with them too much and risk an error. You can toy around with them in FRED. The unused extras are: GVD Apophis, GVDr Jackal, LRBVas (Vasudan beam), MRed(slightly upgraded SRed), Archangel bomb (it has a special purpouse), Modified Lucifer (includes shields), modifed GTD Hades (Revised weapons + 1 extra turret)

Note: In mission 5 you have 2 choices: capture or destroy the target. If you decide to destroy him you will skip missions 6 and 7. Also mission 7 contains an easter egg (hint: its related to the containers scattered around the area)


Please post your impressions.

would you like feedback here or in a pm?

[Maksio58]

here is fine.  (that way it will keep the thread from "drowning"   )

Straight off the bat, if you know the word merythoric, I doubt there's much work needed, but I'll take a look later tonight.

Someone enlighten me what this word means and what language it's from :|

[Zacam]

if you know the word merythoric

Is it of Polish origination?

[Maksio58]

yeah i MIIIGHT have transfered it from Polish.  *checks an online dictionary* ooops. Says the correct translation would be essential but.....thats not what i ment . Any way i was refering to factual errors in the briefings. For example: i just tested the campain again myselfe and found i mixed up 2 systems in 1 of the briefings.

[General Battuta]

Consistency or continuity would probably do in English, but it's a cool sounding word in Polish.

Finally gotten around to trying this, my first impression:
You forgot to include any of the missions in the download 

[Dragon]

Bummer. 
Update the link and I'll try to find some time to download it and give it a try.

[Maksio58]

What do you mean update the link? I just checked it, works fine for me.

[Spoon]

update the link, as in, upload new front with the missions included
so we can actually test stuff

[Maksio58]

Ugh im too tiered. seems i made some kind of error when modifying the tech descriptions and didnt remove the table entry for 1 of the ships i removed. Ill reuplad the file AGAIN without the moded descriptions.

[Nyctaeus]

I'll test the campaign as well once you upload the mission files.  I will post my thoughts on each mission as I clear it.

EDIT: Could you post a synopsis of the campaign?

[Maksio58]

There! Reuploaded, missins present and it doesnt give error messages on laung. Now i have 5h of sleep to get back to.

A synopsis? ok.

What i have right now is an operation iagainst a peculiar and unusualy well equiped group of pirates in the first act and skirmishes with shivans in the second.

[Aurora Paradox]

The WinRAR archive is corrupt.

[Suongadon]

Huh. It works fine for me - though I had to restart the download a couple times because it kept quitting about 3/4th through.


I'll play through it and post comments tomorrow.

[Aurora Paradox]

though I had to restart the download a couple times because it kept quitting about 3/4th through.

That is most likely what happened to me.  I've re-downloaded the file and everything seems in order.  I'll start my testing tomorrow.

The first mission is very difficult, there are to much ships coming to you, and you cant protect the vasudan ship , also its generates a large explosion that kill any ship in a considerable radius , and  , Thief 1 and 2 have a very good escort also , and when I was able to reach thief 2 and destroy it  ,I destroyed accidentaly the cargo and failed the mission , and one more thing , I think you should make my wingmates invulnerables, Well that was my first impression  but I like so much the story so far
