Castrin has brought BADLANDS! back up in the OP D2. It is not a campaign -- just an SFCX server for those of you who have OP to bang around on.

This server uses Firesoul's OP Plus shiplist (excellent job, Firesoul!) and the new missions from Nuclear Wessels, known as the famous "Evil Dave" mission scripts. To play on this server you need to download both.

Everything you need, to include the shiplist download and the Evil Dave missions can be downloaded at the SFCX website, in the downloads section for Orion Pirates.

The URL for SFCX is:

http://www.sfcx.org/

You do not have to be registered to get the downloads -- but I would encourage you to register.

Hope to see some of you there. Once again -- this is not a campaign. There are no victory conditions, etc, just a map, players, and some stress relieving fun

Additionally, this is not the "Reclamation" campaign project that we are currently working on either. We just want to see how the new shiplist works out, and how it interacts with with the mission scripts.

Regards,

Tempest

BUMP!!! Come on, I don't want to be the only guy on!!!

I need help confirming problems with the base assaults.

3 times now I've had THIS after a BattleStation Assault on the Badlands server.
This occurs after:
- I've returned from the mission
- saw no news about the results
- accepted a new mission
- crashed to desktop

I wonder if it's 2538, and not the ED missions.

Although I had fun repeating the process.
Maulers are only in SFC:OP, right?

jdmckinney · « **Reply #4 on:** March 26, 2003, 06:46:23 am »

LOL, I have to say I've never actually seen a player use a mauler against a base in D2. Isn't it funny considering that's what maulers are intended for? Was that an STJ (or variant)? I've always liked that ship.

FireSoul · « **Reply #5 on:** March 26, 2003, 10:28:38 am »

yeah.. a L-STJ.

ZTempest · « **Reply #6 on:** March 26, 2003, 12:02:08 pm »

Maulers are cool

I am documenting things as I come across them as well. This is good feedback and it will definitely help us research and fix potential issues before Reclamation comes online.

Please keep the feedback coming. It is very valuable.

I was on Badlands last night but had to leave because of a thunderstorm rolling into my area. I was drafted once but got the countdown so I restarted my system (that usually fixes it). I will be on tonight as well, and hopefully can do some coop or PvP to test connectivity.

Regards,

Tempest

can someone else try a base mission and reproduce the error? I already reported to NW, but..

I am Lyran, playing a L-STJ mauler, attacking the Mirak base at 6,1. The pirates underneath are Camboro. I have not seen them once. Maybe if someone starts up a Lyran player and attempts to attack the same base, we could have more results?

After I re-installed the game for the patch, I got it to connect to the Badlands server. WooHoo! Still can't get EAW to Connect, but OP is a start.

What time will you be on this evening, Tempest? Maybe you can help knock off the rust SFC3 has built up on my skills...

PPDs and T-bombs...yeah, baby! I have missed my Frogs.

As already posted in NW's thread about the ED packs:

Hey Dave,

Would you mind backing up the Defensive starting positions in Met_NW9PlanetaryAssault? I wouldn't want to be drafted in a defensive posture by this mission.

Picture worth 1000 words:

----------
Additional info:
Sector 6,3 DV:60 Planet: Mirak
Attempts: 2. Once appeared in news. DV remained unchanged in both attempts.
Pirate cartel underneath: Camboro.

Is Badlands set up to remove destroyed bases?
-- Luc

NuclearWessels · « **Reply #11 on:** March 26, 2003, 04:57:54 pm »

Heh heh heh ... oh ok, I guess I can move them out of destruction range

In single player I haven't been able to reproduce the crash you're experiencing, which is making it more difficult to tell if fixes are helping any, but I have found a couple of things to clean up in the 7BattleStation script that weren't in the other base assault scripts, so there's definitely a chance they're the source of the problem.

I'm also cleaning up some other bits and pieces as feedback comes in from DOE, so I'll likely be releasing updated versions of both the EAW and OP packs by the weekend.

Yes.

FireSoul · « **Reply #16 on:** March 27, 2003, 01:04:53 am »

I'll try it tomorrow. I'm tired now.

FireSoul · « **Reply #17 on:** March 29, 2003, 01:11:53 am »

Strafer and I did a Surprised Reverse in a neutral hex.
.. the hex stayed neutral. Neutral Coop Bug?

-- Luc

FireSoul · « **Reply #18 on:** March 29, 2003, 01:29:05 am »

Also, the L-LTTGF didn't have a funcitonal spacedock. This is exactly like that other crew-related bug I fixed some time back.
I don't know WHY it's like this for this ship now. The ship seemed good when I double-checked the shiplist.

.. if you encounter MORE ships with such problems, let me know. The more ships I know that suffer from this issue, the easier it will be for me to track problems down and fix them.

I managed to get my ass kicked a few times b4 I won a mission, and the news reported it properly, the hex went from a neutral 0 to a Fed 2.

My record is 1 and 5, lol. Damn ED!

I'll log on later and do more testing.

Oh, and Castrin... Give the players 50,000 pp. That way we can test ships faster and such.

Also, lets not wait for our ship we buy in the shipyard. Have it delivered the same turn.

Faster shipyards wouold be nice too.

And I didnt see an option for the command chair coffee mug holder... WTF?
