still no good.

--------------------------
EDIT: NeverMind. I'm the one who made the mistake. The mission "Uni_NWX1M1ASmuggler" shouldn't have been used in the .MCT files I have put together. It's the standard one that goes there.
I have repackaged the Campaigns: http://klingon.stasis.ca/sources_and_utils/EvilDave/NW_EAWtoOP_Campaigns.zip
--------------------------

Dave, I have a question:

when you made "Uni_NWX1M1ASmuggler.scr", did you leave the internal structures as "Uni_X1M1ASmuggler" or did you change it, probably to: "Uni_NWX1M1ASmuggler"?

I finished the single-player campaign mission "Uni_4Resolve", but am unable to get any more campaign missions. From "Uni_4Resolve.scr" sources, the next mission for Federation is "Uni_X1M1ASmuggler". See where I'm heading at?

.. anyways, I've browsed through lots of sources and compiled the following tree. I will probably have to adjust my .MCT files. I'll do that tomorrow. it's 3AM.

NP - actually of late I've been putting the version number into the mission title as well,
e.g. "Uni_NWX1M1ASmuggler v3.1.1".

It finally dawned on me that people have renamed copies of some of the old versions around,
so this should guarantee we avoid any conflicts. (And in fact, it means that if anyone really likes
a particular version of a mission they can keep both it and the latest version around and use both
in the same campaign. I'd like to say I thought it out that way, but it was just a happy accident

)

Hey I have another question for you Dave:

What I want to do is not allow a base attack mission until the DV of the hex it's in is lowered to... a low number. Does anything in the mission script control this?

Captain KoraH

jdmckinney · « **Reply #304 on:** February 12, 2003, 12:40:05 pm »

Well, CRAP, now I guess I have to go and look through all the scripts and try to play them again to check for bugs.

Dave, thanks A LOT for being so d***ed efficient.

Captain KoraH · « **Reply #305 on:** February 12, 2003, 03:53:02 pm »

Does anyone know if FSME will work for SFC3 missions? Does anyone HAVE FSME???? hehe!

Captain KoraH

NuclearWessels · « **Reply #306 on:** February 12, 2003, 04:52:07 pm »

Hey Doug ...

Well I beat a final round of sense into the EAW missions this morning, added a couple of new missions to fill some holes, and I'm just now starting the grand port/hack/fix for the OP side. I won't get it finished today, but should have it ready on Monday, so that gives you a few days to bug hunt the stock missions

KoraH - there's nothing in the mission scripts or API that allows us to identify the current hex DV value, so there aren't many options along those lines unfortunately. And I'm pretty sure nothing like FSME exists for SFC3 yet - dunno if anyone is working on a similar tool or not.

I think you just got promoted to Captain, Dave..

.. well.. uhm. My SO's been having contractions these last few days. I don't know how much longer I can be available to help.. who knows, maybe I'll have plenty of time after all.

.. anyways..
.. I'm aware that this is in OP only.. but are you willing to consider my "select era-based fighters" code? MagnumMan has already told me the secret to how to detect OP or EAW with the same sources. It's all a question of using a "#ifdef OP" at this point.
The code works well. If you're not interested, would you share the sources to the missions you have?

PS. I still have to get to BatGoT ("uni_7battlegrave" I believe) with my single-player campaign, so that I can prepare myself to fix it.

Corbomite · « **Reply #308 on:** February 12, 2003, 07:12:28 pm »

I hope you're not playing the ISC campaign because that side of the mission is fine.

FireSoul · « **Reply #309 on:** February 12, 2003, 07:25:02 pm »

I'm currently playing Hydran Vs ISC, not "ISC vs everybody else" aka "ISC Pacification Campaign".

Hey FS or NW, in OP are there supposed to be two meta map files in the Single Player folder in Meta Assets? I have Meta Map and Meta map.war and they have slightly different entries in some of the fields. I was wondering if this was causing some of the problems I am having with the game in that area. BTW I only have one of those files - Meta Map - in the EAW folder so I is cornfused!

FireSoul · « **Reply #311 on:** February 13, 2003, 02:01:19 am »

I don't know enough about the maps to answer you.. Sorry.
-- Luc

jdmckinney · « **Reply #312 on:** February 13, 2003, 07:57:51 am »

To tell the truth, I've always simply ignored the MetaMap.war file. Changing the MetaMap.gf seems sufficient to alter the settings for a campaign.

I always assumed it was a semi-useless file that should have been removed, but that was based on my perception (true or false) that it does nothing.

Dave (and all), I'll start a OP script bug thread. I'll be away all weekend starting Friday in the wee hours, so everyone please feel free to add your bugs to the list.

NuclearWessels · « **Reply #313 on:** February 16, 2003, 03:48:38 pm »

Just a bit of an update,

I've added another handful of missions to the EAW pack to improve both combat and drafting abilities around bases, and reorganized the mission offerings to (hopefully) nullify the neutral co-op bug and to reduce the frequency of some of the more unusual "specialty" missions. You should now get some form of pure combat mission in most locations, with the other missions showing up once in awhile for variety. I think it's running around 47 missions and around 8.5 meg now.

All of these have been recompiled for OP as well, and I'm still gradually working through the bug list for the remaining OP campaign missions. Hopefully those will be in pretty good shape tomorrow - I'll try and get an OP pack posted late tomorrow.

The additional OP missions will probably bring that pack in at over 10 meg --- Castrin, you were offering sfcx as a possible mirror site? If that offer still stands, I might have to take you up on that as the primary location for storing the pack -- this is going to put my site well over it's storage limit. Thx!

dave

FireSoul · « **Reply #314 on:** February 16, 2003, 03:59:48 pm »

Let me know where this pack is too, please.

I can mirror / host any and all ass you need. I have them all right now so if you want I can switch the links on SFCx (yes they are in the DL section) and then you can save some space.

Just let me know.

btw: sorry for the late responce, the thread got buried and I usually hang out in the D2 and D3 forums.

CptCastrin · « **Reply #317 on:** February 18, 2003, 04:02:23 pm »

Well beyond the already stated (terrian bug, netural co-op bug, pirate / empire DV bug) the only other one I can think of is the (J'inn) asteroid-base-mission-from-nowhere bug. I.e. getting asteroid base missions when there isn't a asteroid field with in 10 parsecs.

The best one to chat with on hex issues / bugs is SFCx lead D2 nutter Nomad.

FireSoul · « **Reply #318 on:** February 18, 2003, 04:41:57 pm »

..hmm.. I want to see where NW's contributions will lead up to..
.. then there's the matter of an OP patch that we're awaiting.

.. I ponder simply: with the current OP Patch in the works.. would there be a possibility of a useable D2 server with the first patch? What if there's a way to turn off the pirates?
