Any chance you can do a check to make sure the right bases are spawning in missions? I don't mind defending Hyrdran Bases, but when I'm in Federation Space I expect to be defending Federation Bases.

Jeez !this is what I get for not checking in more often!!!! I had no idea this was here!

Looks awesome!! I will install ASAP and let you know how she flies.

Thanks Dave =1 for you!

Roger that

BTW, I might put a "bug fixes in progress" note at the top of this thread - just so we've got a point form list somewhere of what's been reported but not yet fixed

That Displacement drive device was much better behaved this time... (only took me about 5 to 10 every time it jumped)

not sure why it did what it did the first time I flew it.

Dunno if its part of your script or just the game, but I just got Bethked...

Two Klingon ships ganging up on a Hyrdan Frigate, I managed to get one of them before the Hydran went up, but then I went up simultaneously.

NuclearWessels · « **Reply #165 on:** November 30, 2006, 12:12:54 pm »

Anytime two ships go up simultaneously it's suspicious. Was it one of the regular combat patrols or one of the scenario ones? And was it in enemy or friendly space? (just so I go looking in the right script)

thanks,
dave

Nuetral Space. Hostile Patrol.

At the end it said EDDisengagment

A bug Alphageek and I came across, Home Patrol mission (my home space, I drafted) We crippled a K-D5V, and then we got the message Mission Complete. It didn't let us destroy it, and it didn't disengage.

Lieutenant_Q · « **Reply #168 on:** December 01, 2006, 01:23:02 am »

Also, although we only ran two missions, we only drew one AI opponent each time.

Alphageek · « **Reply #169 on:** December 01, 2006, 01:36:54 am »

Yeah, I do have to agree. The AI opposition was really light. A D5D against a Fed CC+ and a D6 doesn't seem very stiff.

Hostile Patrol - Rock Hex - Romulan Space - Met_EDEnemyPatrol

scenario loaded my ship inside a rock and well boom!

Home Patrol - Planet Hex - ISC Space - Met_EDPlayerPatrol

scenario loaded my ship inside the planet and again boom!

Flying I-CCY in both

really enjoying the different scenarios...

thank you!!!

I'd still love to know which Pirate campaign I should choose to try out the piracy and privateering side of this?

Did I not include the pirate .mct's for single player? Doh!

Sorry, I'll bundle a few up and repost! Can't believe I did that!

(In the meantime, if you're on DH's server you should just need to select any pirate race.)

EDIT: I've posted a SP Wyldefire campaign here: http://www3.telus.net/NuclearWessels/sfc/downloads/WarpTest-Wyldefire.mct
Just copy that file to your Assets/Scripts/Campaigns folder, e.g.:
C:\Program Files\Taldren Software Inc\Starfleet Command Orion Pirates\Assets\Scripts\Campaigns

(Sorry for the manual instructions, I didn't want to rebundle the installer to avoid screwing up people downloading for DH's server. Next time we do an update I'll include all the cartels.)

Err...Dave, I'm not sure that link is working correctly. When I clicked on it I just got a page with some printing on it. I right clicked and saved it to the desktop, then cut and pasted it in the folder indicated. It didn't show up under single player campaigns. Let me know if I've done something wrong.

Hmmm - and you say the Romulan campaign isn't showing up either?

I know there's a limit on how many SP campaigns the interface will display, you may have hit that.

They go in alphabetical order (can't remember whether it's by filename or the campaign title inside the file), so you might try renaming it to something other than Warpblahblahblah.

I tried deleting two of the SP warp campaigns, Lyran and Hydran, to "make room" for the others. When I got to the SP campaign screen, those two didn't show up, but neither did the Romulan or Wyldefire SP warp campaigns. Curses.

GermzSlap · « **Reply #174 on:** December 03, 2006, 11:08:36 am »

I'm actually having a similar problem. After installing EDWarppatrols i could only see 5 campaigns for 5 races. I had to remove all the EEk pirate mct files from the campaigns folder plus acouple of others to get 8 campaigns for 8 races, and i do have the Romulan campaign, but none of the pitates campaigns, not a single one.

To Alphageek, you may try unistalling the campaign scripts that were not included in the OP enhancement package 3.2 (thats what i have, i know 4.0 is out but i still got this one) and then reinstalling Edwarppatrols to get the Romulan campaign, you may even get the Pirate campaigns as well who knows. I dont know if it will work, but you can give it a shot, since its working for me and i'm getting the Romulan campaign.

The idea for the home patrol scenario is that you're facing more-or-less fixed encounters, not balanced combat. If you're flying in teams, or you're flying a heavy cruiser or better, then most of what you encounter should be smaller than you. (If there's an enemy frigate exploring your territory it doesn't morph into a pair of cruisers just because that's what you happen to have

)

The two combat scripts still follow the traditional bpv-matching approaches.

Duh! I should be paying better attention to whats going on. Also i should have been able to tell that there are no pirate warp test campaigns by the fact that there are no pirate mct files. So i guess am all set for now.

Dave, thanks for pointing this out!
