Hum...I'm new to the foundry creating, may I ask a few questions?
1) Is there any chance that foundry going to be updated for this challenge to force the players to use a small craft? There will be space fighting in my mission and the story would make absolutely no sense if the player were using a starship ;_; I know I may be asking too much, but maybe just for this challenge...?
2)Can I import exist npc costume into my foundry? Say, I want to use Captain Shon of E-F in my mission, but he can not be found on any of the public map, and I can't find his uniform in the available costume list. Does that mean I can't use him as a npc in my mission?
3)How can I make the story move on after the player get defeated? Like what happened in the spotlight mission "Cause, then effect"? Players ship get killed by a bunch of enemies, after that the story move on to next map instead of repeat the plot, asking players to kill the enemies.
Any response would be appreciated<3
1) Doubtful
2) You can try to make your own Shron copy. Jupiter uniforms arnt in the foundry yet.
3) Set a respawn point at X location you want the player o move to after he/she dies.

I see... I guess Shon have to put on another uniform in my mission then:P Sorry captain!
You are right, that should work...but if the player accidentally reach the point before they should, are they going to be able to move to next map anyway?

Good examples of both can be found in my Beneath the Raptors Wing Missions, near the start of the first one you get killed and respawn at an isolated part of the map before some dialogue and then next map.
Then in the second mission at the end you are greeted by Shon, it is a lot harder to copy the faces than you realise so have pateince with it mate!

You can destroy a ship and have it say Justin Bieber was on board!?

Thank you! Yeah making Shon's face is quite tough, I will make sure I do my best>_<
computer crashed multiple times using the Foundry last week... *around same time the server crashed.
In testing so far... found it hard to get to the 30 minute mark... even with load screens.
(And I have tried to limit # of load screens to as few as possible)
(** big improvement from my last entry where I found it hard to get it under 40 mins even mashing the kill target button, while mashing the Tab button**)
Teaser
1 Doff assignment *ok not really but... it's where I'd put one.*
Romulans :mad:
1 memory exercise, that's skip able.
What I've tried to do is... a Diplomatic/ Humanitarian type mission.
I attempted to make it Easy / Not Difficult for any Level of player.
Still have to choose a name for it... and other stuff :eek:
I'm going to try something I haven't seen in a Foundry mission and that is... have a prologue. It'll be interesting to hear reactions to it. It's about 2 mins or less to complete.
OMG I am nicking that for my series! Nice work, feels very BSG
Wait, how many program's do you need to run at any one time? The most ill have is 4-5! :eek:
Bran; would it be ok to publish on the 5th? I don't know if I will have Internet till Late GMT on the 9th when I come back from a state event!?
I'm already done making it, just dodgy about the times I can publish ""

I just got two nice folks to test one of my shuttle battles. They had almost identical captain's yachts. Yet, one never got below 80% and the other died multiple times and could only complete it with fleet assistance.

Shuttle missions are impossible to test!
I've got to agree with kirksplat.. I yoinked some fleeties to test the combat.. then as the enemy ships (fighter 02) spawn.. they bring in 2 battleships with them. so needless to say that didn't end well.

That's why I use 'Weak' and 'Frigate' Groups and then select my own Costumes, solves these sort of issues.
I'm afraid I had to publish my mission now guys, been sent away early and I wont get the weekend off to come home like I was planning.
Feel free to play it but as you know, there isn't any voting until the end of the Competition!
Look forward to coming back around the 10th and playing all of your entrys.

As I got the weekend off I decided to create a Klingon Version of my Mission 'Inner Space' called 'qoD' logh', (A translation of Inside Space).
I will publish it only if I win... unless I am allowed to publish both for the competition?

I know this may be a very stupid question, but how do I test the game in a shuttle, I mean in the foundry preview it's now like I have access to the shuttle bridge to switch to shuttle ;_;

You have to go get one at ESD inside the foundry and switch your ship. Click "Play from Beginning" in the story board and then fly to ESD.

I went to DS9, brought a shuttlecraft and switched to it, I also have the Original Constitution Class ship to make my screenshots smarter

Thank you! Exactly what I need!
May I ask one more question? I saw in a foundry that the player using a shuttle to go inside an asteroid , but I can't find a ready-made asteroid anywhere in the database. Do I have to make one by putting rocks together or there is one available on a certain map?
Actually I've tried the putting rocks together one but failed...they just don't go to the height I want them to;_;

You mean the Asteroid-Rock XXL 01? I tried that one but it didn't really work. What I'm looking for is an asteroid with only one open end like the one U.S.S. Pegasus stuck in the TNG episode. I also tried to search for the map used in mission ?Operation Gamma? in which the player go into an asteroid but couldn't find it ;_;

That's beautiful! Which item did you use to build the dock wall?
Thanks. You mean the rocks? they are asteroids.
I mean the dock...I thought it's accomplished by some sort of ring-shape object?
