Good campaign; damned hard, but good too.

I seem to be stuck on mission 8 though... The Minbari ship never jumps, it just flies off then opens fire on the jump gate. Oh yeah, and the Cpt. gets killed.

It also managed to turn my Athlon 650, 392MB RAM, 32MB GeForce 1 SDR into a slide show on a number of occasions.

Oh, and when I clicked the "Weapons" icon in the tech room, FS2 crashed.

Edit: Doh! Maybe that's why.

1. I'll check it out.
2. Lady Rose can sometimes be a bit megalomanic
3. Strange. Though you shouldn't need to change weapons in any of the missions anyway...

The mission 8 problem seems weird. Maybe it was some error in the script, as both the Janus and the Patton must survive.

Just try it again.

Answers:

1.Haaa!!!! There it is... Hmmm... It seems that Sharli will jump when you destroy its fighters, orginaly when Sharlin reach to last waypoint fighters move to cover it, but they fly against your fighters instead staying near of Sharlin. My medicne in that is kill all fighters and dont get too close of that Sharlin.
How did Preatorian died? In my game it always reach to hangar just after hostiles arrive and dont give order "Attack my target".

2. Well mayby I am little megalomanic.

3. Weapon tech database has never worked, atleast in my computer. I tried to go there right after install of MOD and it trowed me out.

PS. If some missions doesn't work go and check it from FRED2, if it say somebody doesn't have a depature point, go and chance it.

Ok, there are now fixed versions of the missions available on the site.

Just download and unzip to your freespace2/data/ folder.

If you don't want to start the campaign all over again, I think you have to remove the campaign file from the update before copying the files.

BTW I also noticed the I somehow managed to remove the textures from the pack! I'll also upload a texture pack, and update the main file.

Lesson of the day:

"Thou shalt not release thy mods too quickly"

Edit:

Textures and main pack now updated, if you have already downloaded the main pack, go take the texture pack, or you'll never get past mission 12. Otherwise just take the main pack.

This was with an older version, so the Preatorian never actually jumped out; it just flew toward the Patton, then off to engaged the Sharlin.

It used to work, but since I've already seen and read everything in there, it's not a problem.

Thanks for all your work on this; I love TBP demo, but it just doesn't last long enough... now I can have more "bone-head blasting fun".

Guys please reupload the briefing and campaign files because something is wrong with them. Keep getting an invalid archieve error on those 2 zip files. Or if someone is willing to please email them to me. Address in sig.

I think it says in a readme.txt somewhere in the extras folder that you have to edit the interface.tbl (?) so that the game utilizes the loadout screen graphics. I did it and it works fine.

Ok I got the winzip files to work. One prob with the campaign though. I can't play it. Everytime I try to load the first mission fs2 locks up. FS2 works fine with the demo cmapaign but not the MW campaign. I have the fs2 patch installed. All files from first release installed and the pathc files are installed. Any clues as to how to fix this prob?

Alright I have sight one problem in second last mission, where should be a Narn beam weapons in *********. Them were missing, I send that mission again to Pera and when Pera tell you for another update, you get it again or just mission 20.

FSF Ashark if its a 9th mission you'll have old version, so get it again.

In mission 6 (the one with the EAS Lexington evacuation) I have encountered a strange problem each time I play it. The shuttles leave the Lexington as normal until the fourth shuttle. Shuttle 4 gets stuck behind the Lexington (the far side to the Janus), continually ramming it and eventually destroying the two of them. To complete the mission I had to ram the shuttle clear of the Lexington. The strange thing is that in Fred 2 all of the shuttles should start on the near side of the Lexington. Have you encountered this problem before?

An additional point to make. In a couple of missions I jump out prematurely (not knowing it was premature at the time) and get debriefs along the lines that too many ships were destroyed (they weren't) and the mission was failed. May I suggest as a correction to this problem that you warp-disable Alpha 1 until the mission is over and the other capital ships are ready to jump out this applies to missions 4 and 5).

The warp-disable should apply to most missions.

About the mission 6 problem: Nope, never happened to me. The shuttles set off from Lexingtons docking bay, so that may have somehow caused it.

Anyone else have this problem?
