FreeSpace Missions

Hi,

i am not good at this game at all, so i play it on Very Easy, it is more fun that way.

Well, in FreeSpace 2, i started editing the missions to make me invulnerable, that would mean that i can direct all the shield energy to the engines and guns and play it at Medium or something.

But in FreeSpace, 2 of the missions where it involves you capturing and flying the 'SF Dragon' i get alot of errors and i can't fix them. :'(.

I have tried to play the game on Medium without editing, but i die when you need to inspect the containers to get the Sensors, Shields and stuff like that.

I always die there.

So, how do you edit the mission without having those damn 'current group is using a ship that is not available' or something like that, like when you open up a mission with the GTD Bastion in FreeSpace 2, it reverts to a 'GTF Ulysess'.

How do you fix that?

Re: FreeSpace Missions

It's very simple! Certain ships don't appear in FRED, like the Galatea, Bastion, and player Dragon. The way it works, Fred reverts them to Ulysses when you open the mission. The best way to do what you want, the way you want, is to open those missions in notepad and add the Invulnerable tag there.

Or you could use the in-game cheat codes to make you invulnerable.

See http://freespace.volitionwatch.com/fs1/cheats.shtml

well, that kinda makes it so you can't carry on playing.

and i tried your converted Freespace Campaign.

It is pretty good, but it kinda crashes when i go onto the Tech Room Weapons area.

To be honest, i don't know why Volition didn't make FreeSpace like FreeSpace 2.

with the SF Mara (terran) with the Dragon.

but your addon thing does that, but it is impossible to play the original Freespace 2 campaign with that altered shipset.

It would be VERY handy to have a program that reads the game of the GTD, GVD & NTD and puts that name on the side of the ship automaticly, that would be so cool.

Well, that happens with every mod. We still don't quite know why.

Move or delete the Port VP file and all your regular FS2 stuff will be back to normal.

Yes, I agree. Not gonna happen, though.

It might if you ask the people who are working on the source code project

Erm, the Dragon mission (Playing Judas, I believe) is in FS1.

I always die there.

If you do the mission properly...they won't even shoot at you until about 10 seconds before you have to leave.

Tips:
1) Stay away from the sentry guns
2) Don't fire your cannons
3) Avoid other Dragons

No wonder your dead. Your supposed to sneak around....not blast your way through.

I think he meant the mission you play with your one mission tour of the Bastion. After you escort the Galatea through the asteroids. I could be wrong though.

Ummm, Fred2 already does the GTD, GVD, and SD stuff for you automatically when you create a new mission.

Ahh you might be right. Fight the Shivans, scan the cargo and jump the hell out of there. Easy.

my advice: stay on the move and keep shooting except when you get close to the cargo, at which time, slow down a bit and fly by them at a measured pace scanning them as you pass. never stop because you will get shot to pieces the moment you do.
