Silliness and references aplenty. I feel bad that the reference in the first mission had flown over my head up until near the end. I remember I played that before and it was fun.

The updated UI elements and HUD are really nice; very crisp and clean.

Also everyone be sure to share your final choice during Delta 1's mission. I couldn't get the telemetry tracking to the cloud to work so I need to rely on everyone's honesty. (Laaame)

Does this release include a certain contribution from moi?

Went with the first option.

If Windows isn't your thing, you can build your own build with from source using this branch from niffiwan's github repo: https://github.com/niffiwan/fs2open.github.com/tree/apng_jad

Also you appear to be missing jad221_root.vp... This was updated recently, so maybe try running the installer again and hopefully it'll catch that its missing. If its still missing, you can manually download the files here.

[woutersmits]

dont need it anymore
2.21 was gone
wierd
but i did fix that
will there be more of these campaigns becouse its short on everything
i did like it
even on the other delta i was invinceble
it was too easy to beat but i did enjoy just go on

[Axem]

Okay, that's good to hear then! Yes, there will be more later on. This was just a short preview that I thought would be great to release early.

The plan right now is to get JAD2.21 updated with the new visual novel drama talky scenes and new animated head anis first, and then finish polishing the all new and complete JAD2.22.

It is my goal to achieve both of those things this year.

Also if people are having issues, please post them in the troubleshooting thread. That way it clears this thread up and any problems solved will be easier to find for the next person that has them.

On my first playthrough I went with the first option. I was sort of disappointed when the ending barely changed when I chose the second option. Oh well  .

Overall, both missions were great. Loved the Starcracker cameo in the first mission, in particular, given what the mission was about. The spotter beam gimmick in the second mission was very well done. This was fun to play, and I eagerly await the full release!

[niffiwan]

First option? You Monster!

(that's the go-on-a-star-killing-spree option right?)

I chose the 2nd option on my 1st playthrough; and given the results I didn't really expect it to change for the 1st option (but I tried it anyway )

[Axem]

Heh yes, the overall effects of the choice you make are pretty... inconsequential in the grand scheme of things... But that's what you get for Delta 1 telling a flashback.

I tried playing JAD 2.22 preview with the apng build, just as playing through the bomber vs. cruiser mission, it crashes. I think this is due to some bug in apng code.

[Axem]

Well that's a shame. Could you try a debug build (as linked to here) and try to recreate the problem? And please give a bit more detail. Where exactly did it crash? What sort of error message did it give? Was it a FreeSpace error message or a standard Windows "program has become unresponsive". You can post your findings and debug.log in the Troubleshooting Thread.

Also there is a missing graphic (railgun_p) that debug will warn about, but it would not be the cause for any crashes.

[Bryan See]

There's no debug build included along with JAD 2.22 preview. Where can I get it?

Thanks, niffiwan. I'll post in the forum if I get a log.
