Please try different options in the launcher, especially Force0 and Force1. It should help.

Argh, the solution was under my nose and I didn't see it.

It now works properly, thanks!

I've done the first few missions (just did the one where you go hunting for the weird signals) and it's been a blast so far. So much faster and intense then normal Freespace. It's great to see all the Confed and Kat ships in new high detail glory. The fiction is also very well done and I've been enjoying reading that possibly more then the game itself. 

The prologue is excellent and if the full SAGA game is anything like this then it's going to be one hell of a ride. I can see where all the work has gone now, I had no idea you were doing/had implemented half the stuff you had.

The prologue is excellent and if the full SAGA game is anything like this then it's going to be one hell of a ride.

The missions themself will be far more intense because we will no longer need to include training messages, which disturb the gameflow. We felt, however, that they are necessary to introduce the game to players, who sofar had little experience with either Freespace or Wing Commander.

Hello everybody,

I've been a (french) virtual pilot for years now, and I must admit that Freespace has always been one of my fav. Currently, I'm leading an XWing Alliance squad, and I'm on the verge to launch a french speaking squad for the Freespace Battlestar mod.
And this said, your work is nothing more but impressive ! You've earned my congratulations (even if they aren't that worth on the market ^^).
Keep up the good job. I've just finished the prologue and I'm looking forward to the entire game. The SCP and the ones who use it well, as you, are just gold mines for the international freedom and pleasure of gaming.

See you in space !

[ARSPR]

WOW, WOW, WOW

I've played the first three missions and all I can say is congratulations. Not only it is an ULTRA-HIGH quality built mod, but it actually feels a complete different game from FS2.

I mean, in all the mods I've played till now, (even the very good ones as Derelict), you are basically playing new missions with new ships, but the gameplay is quite the same over and over again. But you have achieved a dramatically changed gameplay so, for FS2 players, the game difficulty is quite hard at the beginning, (we have to learn how to fly      ):
+ Cap's lasers are really fast and accurate.
+ There are less missiles, but they are DEADLY antifighter weapons. (Once for all, you DO really need countermeasures).

On the other hand I've played the game with and without -wcsaga flag and I think it is quite useless. Maybe it makes the game looks more like the original game, (I haven't played it), but:
+ In briefing screen I feel you could delete "-class" from all ship names and you'll get the same behaviour. (It's quite a cosmetic feature).
+ Hiding wing names for enemies is useless because:
- Sometimes, when they die, you get a message showing their individual name.
- Through F3 multitarget window, you can know every ship name and wing.
- Wing names could be generated through our friendly computers. They are helpful and  they don't have to be the actual 'enemy names', they're just the names you have assigned to foes. So why aren't you going to know them?



WHEN ARE YOU RELEASING THE FULL MOD? (Please tell me it was yesterday ...)
Just joking, spend the time you need to get an even better product.

I feel I'm not reliable at all. But I can try helping as beta-tester (I know a little about FRED, a little about tables, a little about pofs..., so I know nothing about anything serious  ).


EDITED ------

OTOH. I've just taken a look to your fireball.tbl

Code: [Select]

; fireball.tbl
;
; Table file for specifying which filenames are to be used for which explosions
;
;
#Start

$Name: exp04 ; Used for the 4 little explosions before a ship explodes
$LOD: 1

$Name: WarpMap01 ; Used for the warp in / warp out effect
$LOD: 1

$Name: WarpMap01 ; Used for the KNOSSOS warp in / warp out effect
$LOD: 1

$Name: exp05 ; Used when an asteroid explodes
$LOD: 4

$Name: exp05 ; ship explosion 1
$LOD: 4

$Name: exp06 ; ship explosion 2
$LOD: 4

#End
I haven't tested ingame, but why don't you use LOD 1 for all the explosions? With the actual table, you can get low-res explosions. Look at this thread.

looking into the code the wcsaga flag does a few minor things, for one it make everyone who dies scream, not just your buddies, they... remove'class' from the name of everything in a closeup zoom in a breifing... oh, you already knew about that and the hiding of bad guy names. ok, well it allows bad guys to scream when dieing, and more often.

[Bobboau]

oh, it automaticaly installs OAL, nice!
do we do that?

[Wavey]

A very BIG thanks guys you have made me very happy
Loved the comms chat with the pirates

I've really enjoyed the whole enemy taunts and death screams and such. Nice little touch there.

edit: speaking of nice little touches - all the interior stuff modelled on the carrier flight deck is very nice too, including the stairs and windows and parked fighters and such.

[Huggybaby]

I like being able to land on the carrier---just like the good ol' days!

We are still using ANI explosions. I would have thought, that using Lod1 only will have a performance impact on older computers.
