Well, here's something for you all. An animation of the first Shivan attack since the end of the Great War.

And of course a couple of images to encourage you to download





The animation is 1:35 long, 26Mb and uses DivX codec. There are minor errors here and there, but I hope you'll enjoy this

Big thanks to karajorma for providing hosting on his Swoosh account.

Download

swooh seems kinda down....

edit:

can't project members put things in FilePlanet?

[an0n]

FilePlanet sucks more ass than Swooh.

[Lt.Cannonfodder]

Should work now. Opinions, please

Downloading

Edit:

Dude! Excellent stuff, I really like it. There are a few things it could do with (everything lacks any particular lighting... it'd be nice to see flashes of weapons on the hull of ships, that kind of thing) but other than that. Very nice!

[karajorma]

Well as you can guess from the download location I've already seen this and it's pretty damn good

I've also included a little extra in the rar file if you really like it

You know, I did consider adding light to the weapons, but I felt lazy and didn't bother to add a light to every single shot

[Fineus]

Yeah, I can see how I'd reach the same conclusion in your position - but if you wanted to make a really neat job of it, go to town on the lighting / reflections on ships etc.

i don't have FS installed on my laptop, and  my desktop is busy trying to update steam, so Kara, what kind of campaign is this? a hacked file forwarding you to the proper mission?


and i have some problems, both  winamp 5 and WMP decide it is a audio file, and not video. winamp gives me no vid, and wmp gives a visualysation

[an0n]

Run Windows Update or get a new version of WinAmp, foo'.

[kasperl]

winamp 5.01 on my desktop gives me the audio, and a still frame of the video, and when i move the slider thingy it gives me another still frame, while playing the audio.

edit: and winamp eats 50 megs of RAM while attempting to play.

You do have DivX installed, right?

[kasperl]

yeah, wmp even downloaded a codec from the internet.

my desktop machine does play it, but the video lags behind the audio, the audio quality itself is terrible, and the image stutters about every 3 seconds, each stutter taking 0,5 seconds.

That sounds exactly like what was happening when I first tried to export the video from Premiere Pro. No matter what I did the video was always acting up like that. The only way I got around it was by using an older version of Premiere.

[Stealth[cro]]

BSPlayer, Media Player Classic and the ffdshow-codec are your friends, people. Those three usually fix any DivX problems.

hmm its something wrog with download:
 ive try 5 times  downlod file but it stops ( file has ben downloaded ) to 40 -50 %:confused:

[Ashrak]

2. ships move a  bit slow
3. stuff dosent blow off ships

Media player won't download Divx from the net. It will pretend to but it won't actually fix anything. You need to actually go to the Divx site and get Divx (5.05 is better than 5.11 from what I hear)

It's basically the standard FS2 campaign file but now if you play FS2_open (using a version with working video code) and have this animation in the Freespace2 folder it will play it before A Lion at the Door as if it was another cutscene

 I was going to add The Lightning Marshal version of The Great Hunt too but I couldn't remember the name used for the avi (I renamed mine IIRC)

[kasperl]

you might want to get all the permissions, and throw that into the media VP.

anyhow, i am giving up on this, now i'm concentrating on getting Steam or FS2 vanilla to work. I WANT A WORKING MULTIPLAYER GAME.

[Unknown Target]

It's pretty good, but most of the fighteres move a bit too slow.
And what prog did you make it in?

Great job, though!
