Cool! I wish I had noticed this campaign sooner. Probably a great chance to test out my *cough* GRAVIS FIREBIRD which I totally never tried to sell on HLP lol *cough*



Actually I really am looking forward to this!  :D

I need to replay this.

Seriously guys, play this! It's awesome. Truly awesome. It has Official Nyx's Seal of Approval. Oh wait... Such thing does not exist... Yet...
Anyway my statement stays the same :P

Played through that campaign during the last days, several times (for my multi-language release of it :D)

I liked the last mission a lot, mostly because of the Legion effect and the small build up to that. This one would be even more awesome with an Orion in full MVP glory  ;)

Even the shooting angle of the Lucifer to the planet is strange, IMO.
But well... it make some kind of sense, because why the Lucifer would need two devastator beams otherwise? The Shivans should have built them on top or bottom on the Lucifer to be properly used as in this mission?  :D

The "normal terran speech" before it gots translated is kind of funny  :lol:.  What is this gibberish?

Is one of my releases broken or not working? Please send a PM here, on Discord at @novachen or on Twitter @NovachenFS2, a public tweet or write a reply in my own release threads here on HLP, because these are the only threads i am still participating in.

Thanks. :)  When the newest MediaVP Orion is completed, I will ask for a modified version to use in Deneb III.

The gibberish is actually Latin.  If I recall correctly, the Terran voices are excerpts from various readings of the Latin Mass.

All Terran speak High Gothic Latin in the future.  :D

Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur.

You know, I wouldn't mind seeing some of the Roman civil wars reimagined as FreeSpace campaigns.

Okay, Latin... my sister speaks five languages (or well.. four and a half.. she still learns chinese for a few years now) but not Latin. So i did not knew that.

Could only determine, that it was not German, English, French and Spanish and it did not sound very chinese, too :lol:

But would Ancient Greek not GTA's language of choice due to the designations of ships, weapons and wings? :D

I think I've hit a bit of a snag...

Spoiler:
I'm on the third mission, and after defeating the Lucifer's bomber attack+cruiser escorts and the Legion's arrival, the mission kinda of just stops. The Legion did say they were preparing bombers, but after 25 minutes nothing happened. I replayed this three times with the same results.

Also came across a smaller bug in the first mission. The engines on the transports can be disabled, thus preventing the mission from continuing. Putting Omega 3 out of their misery got things rolling again.

I've really enjoyed this campaign so far. Looking forward to finishing it!

That's odd.  I've never experienced that problem nor have I heard about it from anyone else.  Can you post your FSO log?  Also, what is the last thing that happened in the mission before everything stopped?  Did the GTSC Yggdrasil arrive?

Will fix that, thanks.

Spoiler:
Yggdrasil arrived right after the Legion. Laskhmi wing Dragons arrived (I think after?) and continue to respawn and attack the player. The Lucy took out 2 of the 4 cruisers over time, but the two front-most cruisers (Atlantis and Victory) were safe. After that it's just an endless fight with Dragons.

And yep I'll post a log. Just need to remember how (if not within the hour, definitely tomorrow).

Sorry for the delay. Just ran through the mission with the debugger. Here's the log https://fsnebula.org/log/5d9e823acb0d3320a3dd8189

Specifically, here's where the errors occur (I think), moments after the Legion announcing they are launching the bombers.

I was able to hit continue twice. After that the stop=15 part repeats and I had to close Freespace through task manager.

EDIT: Forgot to mention. When hitting the "continue campaign" button I got the following error. There was no issue upon pressing "continue" on the error window however.
Code: [Select]
DenebIII-3.fs2(line 205): Warning: Variable 0 has the same name as an eternal variable. One of these should be renamed to avoid confusion

Ack!  Well thank you, you've just found a bug.  All builds since May 7 will break in this same way.  I have proposed a fix here which is awaiting review.

As for that second error, it may be a bug, but unfortunately there is a bug in the error message. :(  I have another fix that will need to be merged before we can find out for sure.

Both of those changes are included in this build.  Can you use it and then tell me what error is displayed when you hit "continue campaign"?

I just drop the application into the FreespaceOpen>FS2 directory right?

I'm not super familiar with how to do it on Knossos, but I think what you do is download it anywhere, but then select it by going to the mod Options, selecting FSO Settings dialog, then using Browse to get the custom build.

Upon selecting the application with the browse feature, I get the following when attempting to press Play or go to FSO Settings;

fs2_open_3_8_1_AVX2-FASTDBG.exe - System Error
The code execution cannot proceed because avcodec-57.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.

It repeats three more times, with the avcodec part being replaced with avformat-57, avutil-55.dll and swscale-4.dll.
