Back 10 or so years ago, I remember someone made a "quick reference card" that listed, among other things, the filenames of all the command briefing files built into FS2 (in case you wanted to reuse one or more). It also had a breakdown of which beams where which and which communication animations displayed what.

Does anyone know of this and/or where it could be found. Alternately, is there a different resource that lists what all of the built-in command briefing scenes are?

Thanks.

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/karajorma/FAQ/downloads.html there is a link to freespace 2 reference guide that's what you should be looking for.

Well, that was it, but it appears whatever resource it was pointing to is long dead. Thanks for the link anyway.

Huh? I just tried the link a minute ago and it worked for me.

Most of that data can be found on the Wiki now (Beam Weapons, Communication Anis (Plus some more of them, if you'll excuse the shameless self promotion )) and a bunch of other stuff too, of course. Unfortunately, a breakdown of the retail CBAnims is one of the few things we don't have on there at the moment, although it is a worthwhile project, and something we should have. I'll get onto it when I have a second.

The original original FRED reference card is available from here, along with a few other goodies:

Is that stuff also available from GOG?

It was generated by people from either VolitionWatch (which was a Volition fan site, not Volition themselves) or the FreeSpace Developer List, so I doubt it.
