Good! Hope you enjoy!

Got a small download for the 2 Campaign missions? (no large wavs or launcher)

Just got ahold of this, been playing thru some of the NSDF/BDog missions, and I have to say... wow. Great mission pack. One minor criticism - I was hoping with lua scripting I would be hearing some voiceovers throughout the missions. Maybe if you tweak this later you could add some in. Still, great job on this.

Might I suggest trying to load resources from the file-system rather than embedding them in your launcher? I bet that is why it got so big.

Also, you might want to shift to C# instead of VB.net

Thanks! It's not like I was short on inspiration.

I thought long and hard about this and realized I wasn't in a situation to make this happen. Two summers off and a light spring term are what allowed this project to happen, and each time I thought about writing voice scripts for these missions (not a small amount of writing and recording with 26 missions) I got busy again. That's definitely one of my top priorities when/if I get bored come back to it though!

I bet you're right. There were also multiple duplicate resources which I thought were removed but weren't. Learnin' as I went!

Certainly, but I had a 'burden of history' problem, when I started playing around to see what I could do, it was in VB. I pretty much just went with the most obvious way to get what I wanted done done. (I'll have a degree in biology with a minor in business administration- I certainly didn't know what I was doing starting out. )

Thanks ScrapPool for Omega Squadron!

Just started the campaign and feels like old times. Well done!

finally got this working after a fresh/clean install.

really nice work, ScrapPool

if you inadvertently destroy the launch pad in the 2nd mission, the mission doesn't succeed.

any time i try to launch an IA or a dragon mission, battlezone dies.

Make sure your using the recommended 1.5 version. Also, I believe it requires the TRO content installed.
