The Knights of the Hegemony are proud to present Litterbox 3 for EAW. This will be a 2 week campaign and will require a download. Many thanks to DarkElf, SFC2.net and XenoCorp for hosting this campaign. This campaign will be using SQL.

Campaign Start:

1.Server will start at 7:00PM CST April 16 2003. It will be up shortly before that for some testing at 5:30PM CST.

Features:

1. CaptJeffs EAWRefit Shiplist Version 1.01
2. Nuclear Wessels new EAW mission pack just released 4/13/03.
3. TraceyG's 6 Patrol Missions from DOE
4. Karnaks 4 New missions to be featured on SG3 and the GFL ISC Invasion server

Server Settings

1. Large Map 39x79 with plenty of space to roam and conquer
2. Mandatory missions in enemy space only. You will be able to roam the neutral zone for targets and PvP.
3. Races F/H/M/G vs K/I/L/R (standard alliances places across the map from each other, so races will be fighting traditional enemies to start).
4. Over 70 VC targets to choose from in the neutral zone.
5. Basically same server settings from AOTK with a few adjustments for the shiplists and missions.
6. Starting ships F-CL, G-CL, H-KN, Z-DD vs K-F5C, I-DD, L-DD, R-BH and 1000 Prestige to start

Downloads

Rajnsaj made and installer for the mission pack. Go here for the download : Litterbox3Installer
I would download it and save it to your desktop or SFC2 folder. Then all you have to do is click on it and it will install the mod.

He also made a reinstaller to go back to your original game: Reinstaller

Rules

Standard SFc2.net rules and Command and Control rules. Unfortunately The SFc2.net site with these is down so the abbreviated version is here Rules

Victory Conditions:

1. Asteroid Hexes = 2 points
2. Black Hole Hexes = 3 points
3. Nebula Hexes = 5 points
4. Neutral Planets (econ 50)= 10 points
5. Neutral Planets (econ 80)= 15 points
6. Neutral Planets (econ 100)= 20 points

LOS to any VC target doubles the point value of that target.

Totals will be added up at the end of the campaign for both the Alliance and Coalition and a winner declared. Winners will get the grand prize consisting of doughnut holes and pies!

Any problems or complaints are to me sent to kothdyna@lycos.com

I can feed you more new missions as they come online if y'all get bored.

Great job, Fluf. That looks pretty good. Many thanks.

jdmckinney · « **Reply #3 on:** April 15, 2003, 07:40:34 pm »

Pretty comprehensive post. Thanks for putting together all that info -- looks like fun.

Fluf · « **Reply #4 on:** April 15, 2003, 09:49:25 pm »

For a quick look at the map for all you planners and plotters.

White hexes are planets
Pink hexes are nebulas
Brown hexes are Asteroids
Purple hexes are Black holes

And of course with all my evil servers, the "Core" will be a good PvP draw. This map is similiar to Ragnorak, which we never got to finish.

We will have a RW channel for each of the Alliance and Coalition thanks to MRess. I will announce the IP tomorrow. Chat still seems to be down, but we are hopefull that Taldren can help with this soon. They are trying.

This will be and early era start. However turns will go at 5 mins per turn, so we will get 2 years in 24 hours. Should get us through 30 years in 15 days and give Dizzy and Karnak time to get SG3 going.

I have also left the exact names of the missions for players to review and be able to report exactly what missions they might be having problems with to Dave, TraceyG, and Karnak.

Also the EAWRefit shiplist should have some nice changes for you folks. Lyran will have some LDR ships. And the server will dispense some AI ships that are not available to the players. Kinda shocked me when I met a Lyran CL with a AMD and Drone rack!

Hope to cya all there!

Good news folks, Rajnsaj has made an installer for this download. Once I get it uploaded to the KOTH site, I will post the link here. He also has made a reinstaller to go back to your original game. This community rocks!

Fluf · « **Reply #6 on:** April 16, 2003, 10:15:07 am »

The new links for the new installer and reinstaller for the Litterbox campaign are posted now in the first thread. Hope this will help all of you with this campaign. Many thanks to Rajnsaj for doing this for me!

KBF-Dogmatix · « **Reply #18 on:** April 16, 2003, 02:21:17 pm »

No (apparent) problems other than I don't see the server (or any other) in the server directory.

Nevermind...just realized it doesn't start until about 5 PM tonight (for me).

Fluf · « **Reply #27 on:** April 16, 2003, 05:50:04 pm »

I just tried the download and it seems to be working fine. Just keep trying. Im sure there are alot of people just getting home that are downloading it.

DONOTDELETE · « **Reply #28 on:** April 16, 2003, 06:10:24 pm »

I just posted the files on some free space to distribute the load,
if the main download site is busy try these:
http://angelfire.lycos.com/trek/rajnsaj/Litterbox3/EAW2036_Litterbox_3.exe
http://angelfire.lycos.com/trek/rajnsaj/Litterbox3/EAW2036_Stock_Lists.exe
I'm not sure what the bandwidth limit is so get em while there're hot!
(It takes a moment for the file save prompt to come up,
but the 11MB downloaded in 43 seconds from there for me...)

Let me know if this link does not work for you - these free services can be tricky...

DONOTDELETE · « **Reply #30 on:** April 16, 2003, 10:07:09 pm »

I am also unable to get any of these DL's going...

DONOTDELETE · « **Reply #31 on:** April 16, 2003, 10:26:42 pm »

I just checked all the above links out as ok.

As a last resort try these: (but only if above
downloads are busy please)

http://www.thewheel.dns2go.com:18188/sfcwheel/Litterbox3/EAW2036_Litterbox_3.exe
http://www.thewheel.dns2go.com:18188/sfcwheel/Litterbox3/EAW2036_Stock_Lists.exe

I will look for additional free space to host the files if needed...

Gumby · « **Reply #32 on:** April 16, 2003, 10:46:53 pm »

Is it just me? Or is Litterbox down. I do not see it anywhere............ If its me, i need some help.

DONOTDELETE · « **Reply #33 on:** April 16, 2003, 11:38:20 pm »

Thanks Raj...

Worked like a charm that time...I dont know why the other links didnt work for me.....

Karnak · « **Reply #35 on:** April 17, 2003, 12:16:37 am »

Rajnsaj,

I got another new mission up.

You can get the latest updates at www.gfluniverse.net/d2/ Downloads page.

Soreyes · « **Reply #38 on:** April 17, 2003, 01:52:12 am »

Well I had to log off to go to work, so here I am at work.
Just a few thoughts I would like to share.
1) I'm a newbe at this while flying as a Mirak... If any one see's a Z-DD flying in circles HELP!!
2) Why are the Drones so slow?...... What was that Fluf?..... Oh.... Well Never Mind
3) I found that after getting blown up by the AI for the 2nd time....... I could always blame it on Dave

4) Is Karnak trying to have "EVIL" placed in front of his name

5) Pay attention to the ship types you may be fighting.....What the heck is a L-DDD....closer...closer... OMFG!!!

So untill later this afternoon. After I get some sleep, back to the fun and games

FPF_TraceyG · « **Reply #43 on:** April 17, 2003, 09:44:20 am »

LOL!!! I'm glad I dont look like E.T. ....

KOTH-Steel Claw · « **Reply #45 on:** April 17, 2003, 10:16:23 am »

Gumby · « **Reply #46 on:** April 17, 2003, 12:45:22 pm »

I as well was getting "CTD"'s if I understand that abbreviation correctly. I think i was only able to successfully complete about half of the solo missions I played. And probably only that many cause half of those, i limped off the screen before i was destroyed.

So, its my understanding that this has been resolved now? I'm at work, so i cannot test this, but do we need to redownload the files?

Fluf · « **Reply #49 on:** April 17, 2003, 02:49:46 pm »

We have restarted the server and made some changes from last night. We found several problems in the shiplist that were causing the CTD's. Jeff is going to go back over the list and redo some things. We have temporarily fixed the list server side to get rid of some of the problem ships. If you get into a mission and see your ally already damaged, this is a good indication of a problem ship. So far, we have found most of the Monitor ships, the Mirak Wyn Ships and a few Tugs have been the problem. If you go into a mission and have a CTD for some reason. Post here the mission and ships that you had in the mission.

The server is back up running a flatfile DB, with some changes server side. Game speed is now 8. Most of the problem ships have been blocked from showing up.

KBF-Dogmatix · « **Reply #50 on:** April 17, 2003, 03:06:28 pm »

I noticed immediate improvement in my luck. Ran two convoy raids, got through both, no CTDs. Yay for my team!

Thanks, guys!

Say...any Coalition going to show up for this thing or is it the Alliances' turn to roll virtually unopposed?

Mog · « **Reply #51 on:** April 17, 2003, 03:55:35 pm »

Sorry Doggy, I'm on Reclamation, and things look good - DV is raising on friendly hexes without having to turn it to pirate first

Only downside now that I can see is the same one EAW has - neutral co-op failure. We have a workaround for that for the future. My interest is rekindled

TOCXOBearslayer · « **Reply #53 on:** April 17, 2003, 04:53:57 pm »

Fluf,

Seems that when you are between two bases, the base defense mission comes up. It locked while 'waiting for other players'.

Soreyes · « **Reply #54 on:** April 17, 2003, 07:20:44 pm »

Well I went back on and had some fun

I ran 7 missions and only CTD twice. Both times were in patrol missions with a G-CL as a wingman VS. L-WDD? and a L-CA.

I have not lost a ship yet, but boy did I come close 2 times

Well back to the battles

Fluf · « **Reply #55 on:** April 17, 2003, 08:18:31 pm »

Bearslayer I saw this happening last night. Not sure what is wrong here. Not sure if its a scripting parameter with Daves Base Defense not jiving with one of our settings. TraceyG and I adjusted a setting this morning to try to correct this, but it might still be happening.

Orignal Speed was the stock default of 7. Its been bumped to 8.

All players, please note any CTD's and what ships were in with you. CaptJeff is correcting the shiplist and we hope to have it done by tomorrow. So far Monitors and BattleTugs seem to be the culprits. The look fine in shipedit, but when you look at the list in Notepad, they are off. Also the Mirak Wyn ships were causing crashes. We have it so alot of the Monitors and Tugs are not showing up now, but some still might be slipping through.

Everybody be patient, and we hope to have everything straightened out by tomorrow.

And as always - ITS MY FAULT!
