Title: Does Inferno branch?
Post by: Unknown Target on January 13, 2004, 05:45:58 am
Just curious if it does, cause my friend played through it and ended the fight with the EA after they called a ciese-fire in the middle of a mission, while I got to fight it out to the end high in Sol's orbit.



Sooo....does it?

LOL, what do you mean? The Nemesis got destroyed or something? And no, it won't branch, that'd be too much work. We want to give you quality missions instead (hence the re-chapter 1).

If we do branch, it would only be a mission or two.

Well, I THINK I got mine off the forum, and downloaded his off the web-site. But I am DEFINATELY sure he ended the EA-GTVA war after he was ordered to destroy the Nemesis's beam cannons (so they wouldn't destroy the...crap, was it the Independence?). I forgot what I did on that mission, but it wasn't where the war ended for me.

Well, there's GTVA chapter 1, and EA chapter 1, and SOC chapter 1.  Are those all parallel campaigns taking place at the same time but from different perspectives?  If so, you could consider those as branches.

What he said.. although I had chronic busyness and an overall procrastinatory (eh?) attitude, as I tend to have in most things involving work.

That aside, I still never heard of redoing chapter one and it sounds really silly when you could just leave it be and not **** up a good story and move onto chapter two...

Yes yes, but why not just add all that in ch.2 instead?

Chapter 1 doesn't work anymore with the new tables so a restart is needed.

We also think we can do far better missions now than the ones in R1.

Though there are fewer of us now than there was when R1 was made.

On a related note I find it rather amusing that I still have an Inferno avatar

Presenting the Inferno re-re-re-release. All the guns have been replaced with walkie-talkies and the entire cast has been digitally replaced with ewoks. :D

*remembers the Hesat being cut after it was pathed* :p

Anyway, is there anything that needs pathing now?

Why don't you come to the 158th internal. We need some appreciation there.

Only ships that aren't pathed now are these:

GVSD Duat
SCa Shiamak
SSJ Gigas
SH Gargant

The last 3 will crash PCS on save, but it does store the path data. Aurora can't be used on them either.

If you want to have a go at any of them let me know and I'll send them over.

Sure, send them over. I'll see what I can do.

We're doing chapter 1 again because we've changed everything around so much that modifying our existing (in some cases, especially the first half, not so good) missions would be a waste of time.

Goob I'm not sure what we'll do with the later chapters, although Woo and I wanted a Vasudan one. But there'll certainly be some missions where you can fly their ships. The SOC one is out since there's no SOC fleet any more.

Post by: mr.WHO on January 14, 2004, 08:21:34 am
there's no SOC fleet any more?
there will be no SOC ships in campaing but they will be in tables
or
there will be no SOC ship in whole ch1 and ch2 files?

I wounder if in ch2 there will be a pilots exhange between EA-GTVA like betweed Terrans-vasudans in orginal FS2?

Most of the SOC fighters will be avaliable as advanced fighters later on in the campaign, for example the Banshee will replace the Perseus ADv. Only the Solaris, Aristaeus, and Neptune remain of the capships.

Ahem... Please do something about Serpent. Make it a bit meanier-looking or something. It's too plain now.

No, you get the Perseus ADv in ch1+2, the Banshee replaces it later.
