Re: I have these old campaigns...
I case I  had deleted anything by mistake. Here is the copy I got from a friend. http://depositfiles.com/files/scs0gttei and http://jumbofiles.com/fda6z2hx6fyr. I zipped all in one file. But It seems the same to me. The files must have went missing by him. Its been so long. I can't remember what we did to make them work back then.

Re: I have these old campaigns...
Capt_Thunder, due to the lack of descriptions with some of the files, I can not approve them. Care to give me some details on these?

boomerang
DESPERATE
SPOPCMD
TECHSUP-EP1

I've approved Trinity and another, as it looks like they don't have updated versions on fsmods.

Re: I have these old campaigns...
Thanks to all those who have taken upon themselves to update these campaigns. And Thank you on behalf of the original makers and their teams as well. I know they will be grateful that their campaigns are available for future generations to enjoy. We all appreciate you hard work, dedication and sacrifice.

Its been so long since I have played these, but I remember I had a lot of fun playing them back when they came out. TECHSUP_ EP1 was most memorable of this set. I enjoyed both plot and game-play. A group of ships are lost and cut of in Shivan space. They have to now find their way home. It was never finished. So I suppose it's up to anyone to make their own ending for it. SPOPCMD was great but could have been more. With limited resources special ops jumps into Capalla through it's unstable (collapsing) node. With the objective to figure out where the Shivans went and what their up to. Their is a new ship class their as an answer for the Shivan Juggernauts. SPOPCMD - SND are the sound files that were offered as a separate download. One has to remember those were the times ans such was the internet speeds. I will have to play over the others to remember why I did like them, that I held on to them.

Re: I have these old campaigns...
Mission design and storyline shows age of these campaigns. Desperate Times are probably someone's first project and "how to make campaigns" lesson. SOC campaign are a bit more serious. Interesting. They're like open book of history of FS modding... And now I remember how easy was modding in the past.

Looking forward for upgrade of Technological Superiority. This is one of my favorite campaigns.

Re: I have these old campaigns...
I don't think I ever played most of these campaigns, but I remember downloading them all from the old VWatch Archives (which, oddly, now redirects to an Unreal Tournament site).  I'll have to give them a run-through someday.

IIRC Boomerang was made by a Volition FREDder?

Re: I have these old campaigns...
Thank you very much. It will be great to play this again. Thank you again.

 
Re: I have these old campaigns...
I am playing through Technical Superiority Episode 1. And it looks great with the new mediavps. I am enjoying it immensely. I forgot how hard it was though. But I am remembering the strategies I used to beat it. I little note for anyone else who wants to - The mission "TS1 - i7.fs2 ( Interlude 1 - Rebirth)" Was meant to be a scene played out for while the player can't move. Upon conclusion the order is given to call in a support. Which will repair the subsystems  allowing the player to warp out. That does not happen with the new upgrades. One can use ones new found freedom to attack, but it is a mission one can not win. Its best to let it play out and warp out at the conclusion of the events.

 
Re: I have these old campaigns...
I ran into a situation:-

ts1-m9.fs2(line 23:
Error: Required token = [#Command Briefing] or [#Briefing], found [+Fog Near Mult: 1.000000] .

kernel32.dll! WaitForSingleObjectEx + 68 bytes
kernel32.dll! WaitForSingleObject + 18 bytes
fs2_open_3_6_12r_INF_SSE2.exe! <no symbol>
fs2_open_3_6_12r_INF_SSE2.exe! <no symbol>
fs2_open_3_6_12r_INF_SSE2.exe! <no symbol>

This occurred after I assisted in the capture of the second enemy ship, "the modified Mentu Class" and I warped out.
Any one else got this?

Re: I have these old campaigns...
I didn't get the error message but I was using 3.6.14RC8 so I don't know about compatibility with 3.6.12.

Re: I have these old campaigns...
Ok i'll try 3.6.14RC, thanks

 
Re: I have these old campaigns...
I didn't remember the sound files in SPOPCMD were so soft. here I increased the volume a bit - http://depositfiles.com/files/r93czsfxx.

 
Re: I have these old campaigns...
Finished the SPOPCMD. From begin to end worked well. watching the Sathanas blow up with Meson bombs was awesome. No errors or bugs as such. But it is a simple campaign. Thanks.

 
Re: I have these old campaigns...
Finished Technical Superiority Episode 1. It works well with 3.6.14RC8. Had no other problem other than when I used 3.6.12. Thank you.

 
Re: I have these old campaigns...
Playing through Desperate times. I accomplished the first two missions. But The Sathanas in the third mission was not there. Only the gas miner (which is docked with it) is there in its docking position. Needless to say with no Sathanas to blow up, one cannot warp out. I used 3.6.14RC8. When I switched to 3.6.12, I got the same error I got before. Any one else got that.
