This is an early beta so report any problems - there are quite a few. Its a simple escort mission with random opponents. What makes this more interesting is that you can choose what assets you have protecting your convoy. In the future, I'm hoping to make each option completely balanced. It might even be possible to make a menu where you purchase various escorts and resources.
It may run with the old ship pack as well but there are no guarantees - the cargo container script I put in the buda package has all containers and some were only included in the latest ship pack.

Yes it worked for me (old ship pack). This small "mission" is really nice and gives much fun! Maybe you could include small random texts for the attackers like I did in XMas mission.
When you've finished it could you allow me to update the GUI and the black out (begin of the mission) a "little bit"? That we have a similar look in all Buda5 missions/packages?

I guess it needs a ship pack with the freighters in it to work. Yes, I intend to add some communications that inform the player of new developments.
@Roi: Before you start working on it wait 'till the next release and I change the names in the source code to be a bit more informative. Right now its a bit misleading since I started from a copy-paste from director war.

didn't work with me either, but the absence of the freighters from the old pack would explain it a bit

    Here is the new version. No major visible changes, I just changed the code so that it makes more sense. (I hope...;)) Should we start fitting DirWar and Escort into the Xmas package now?

    I was also thinking about releasing these on the public forums as a little treat to those who frequent our forums. What do you think?
  • LogicSequenceLogicSequence Elite Ranger
    i think we should filter them in to the xmass packet, but release it as Buda5 mission pack or something, since it's no longer christmas....
  • IndieIndie Moderator
    Yeh, we'll change the name of course. :)
  • LogicSequenceLogicSequence Elite Ranger
    OK, AND PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!! not being able to fire more than one weapon at a time REALLLLLLLLLLLLY STINKS!!!! in some missions we've released u can use weapons as u can in the game, and in others you can't, so lets PPPPPPLEASE remember that weapons link or whatever the command is called. lol
  • IndieIndie Moderator
    Thats another issue. In some ships it works, in some ships it chrashes the game. I think multiple beam weapons are the cause. Beam turrets don't seem to be a problem. The strange thing is, you can have multiple beams in EOC without any problems.:confused:
  • LogicSequenceLogicSequence Elite Ranger
    HMMM.... maybe it has to do with the ole weapons link thing ingame? the one theres no ini file for?

    Yes, it has to do with this function [i]iMulitplay.LinkWeapons[/i] (or so, don't remember on the exact string)!
    No, no ini files for this are available! Warlord and me already searched the whole Ressource folders of I-War 2.

    @Renaming: Of course, i also will upload the updated version of my mission.

    @Fitting in the Package: Yes, I can do this tomorrow morning!

    Have a nice day! I'm going increase my strenght now ;) (in Germany we call it: Muckibude :D ).

    [B]HMMM.... maybe it has to do with the ole weapons link thing ingame? the one theres no ini file for? [/B][/QUOTE]We should at least have more than one weapon in selected weapon group - weapon link or not. At least with Whitestar you have to switch weapons even to fire the same weapon on the other side of the ship. At least we should be able chainfire all the similar weapons that are not beams (if beams are problematic).

It puts same type weapons in same group and then they are fired in chain. I-War 2 campaign had some module with which you could change to salvo mode - that module doesn't have ini file so we can't have salvo mode. In campaign we shouldn't have issues because we are flying with fighters without turrets/multiple beams. Small scenarios are other issue... Maybe we should stick with piloting Furys or Thunderbolts in scenarios too.
