Flames of War - Coming of the Storm (re-release)
Uploaded it as public.
Should be fully playable. Consider this a beta as there's still some polish needed - mostly mission backgrounds and CB ani's. A few tweaks to the text here and there.
I might add another mission or two to the chain.

Working version 1.0.6.
Around 25 missions


Note that this contains all assets for Chapter 3 too, I haven't separated them as I will simply roll it all into one. Simpler, given that the same tables will be used and it could be considered one campagin split into two.


EDIT: I am aware the easter egg in mission 1 is broken. Still havn't figured out why sound isn't playing.

Re: Flames of War - Coming of the Storm (re-release)
Congratulations on this rerelease! Coincidentally, I was thinking about it like one week ago. Are you planning rerelease other campaigns of yours in the near future? :)

Re: Flames of War - Coming of the Storm (re-release)
Once this is tested and I polished a few things (re-doing some assets like the asteroid base) I will continue work on Chapter3.

There are already some Chapter 3 missions (name starts with DOTA) that you can try playing from the tech room as I haven't bothered removing any files, but will they still be in the final draft or in that form remains to be seen

Where is any download link or something? Knossos has only the old upload by No.Tea.

Have to ask here as well. I don't see any Knossos updates other than No Tea's two.

Re: Flames of War - Coming of the Storm (re-release)
For some reason it didn't go trough. Uploaded again, you should see it now.


EDIT:
Also, for some reason, despite me deleting command line parameters on my end, I have reports of there being carried over somehow on upload????
Delte command line parameters in your setting if you get an error.

EDIT2: I am having a few errors I cannot figure out, so I want to know if they are on my end only. So for you who will play, I ask two things:
1) in the first mission, at the end, scan the comm system of the liner and tell me if a song starts to play
2. In Mission Simulator, start Weapon Test, and try the Vindicator, Avenger II or Vulcan and tell me if you hear weapon sounds

I'm taking down my upload of FOW2, now that Trashman has uploaded his official version.

Trashman - I'm also giving you admin rights to Flames of War 1, since it's your mod.

Re: Flames of War - Coming of the Storm (re-release)
Cool!  Going through this now.  Will be posting bugs / issues as I find any.

Mission : Heart of Stone

Issue 1 :  Disabled the Vasudan ship and it got stuck at 6%,  mission wouldn't progress for me.  :banghead:   Apparently it was supposed to jump out but I disabled it's engines so it couldn't. 

Possible Remedy:  Make the engines not able to be destroyed below a certain %?

Restarted the mission and didn't disable it.   It jumped out fine and mission continued.

However, when that happened....
Issue 2:

Also I think the objectives are mixed up.
When the Vasudan ship Hooligan jumps out, the primary objective for Destroy Hooligan fails , but it also says "Protect GTBC Sabre" Failed and the ship is just fine.   Thinking this is tied to the primary objective that fails at the same time.

Also, feels bad that since I can't order the wings around they just ram themselves to death into the base.  :(

I thought I made engines undestroyable.. or was it navigation? I will have to check.

Huh... that one never happened to me in testing. But I did make a few changes. Will have to check. Thanks for the report.
Alas, FS AI is not that good when flying around big objects.
In fact, it seems to have gotten worse??? I was constantly having ships stuck in the Orions greeble.
