Romulan Dawn Missions #1-6 Discussion:

[Whammo11224]

The missions ARE standalone. You don't want every single system to be standalone do you? That would be pathetic!

Plus - the reason your getting this message is your KA install. Install Romulan Dawn over a FRESH KA install and warp to the different systems at AT LEAST Warp 6!!

Buy another HD for me and we'll talk about ANOTHER fresh install of KA. I'm wondering how the missions are stand-alone if you have to complete one before moving on to the next one? So what I meant by my first post, is when you run into a little glitch like that at the end of the mission, after completing all of your mission goals, you could still move on to the next one.

You probably thought I was thrasing the conversion (which I wasn't), that might explain your rush to judgement. Don't worry, I forgive you.

I tried the warp suggestion, didn't work for me. I guess years of installing mods finally caught up with me. Any other suggestions would be very helpful.

Thanks

Ok, the RD team want you to complete the missions in order. End of story! That's why they didn't have them all open at the beginning.

Maybe a solution to your problem - backup your systems folder, create a new one and put the Romii system in it. Then try the mission again using warp 6 as a minimum warp speed. Should work fine.

Don't worry. I forgive you

And a little less of the patronising please.

[quote="Kt'Hyla"]That should work. Without the modded kas files present, the game will revert back to using stock systems, and it should run okay.

Let us know how it runs, Dwy. ]
Kt'Hyla, it worked! I add two new folders to my ka dir: SC_sys and RD_sys where I hide the system folder and qbsys.txt. perhaps something like this can be added as an update to the next install to recognize different system packs?

Dwy: Cool! Uwe will be keeping tabs on this, so he may have some ideas for a workaround for when he gets back.

Whammo: We were following the same setup as the KA Campaigns, so you have to complete the missions in order to get the story. It's not as important in the first 6 missions, however the flow of the story becomes more important from #7 onward.

Try doing what Dwyspock did, and uninstall all of your modded systems. Or you can just temporarily move them to another folder where KA wouldn't be able to access it. It's a pain in the butt, but we didn't anticipate modded systems, of which can change the positions of the systems, making the travel time longer between some systems.

If I back up the system folder and make a new one, aside from the Romii system what other systems should go in there?

Will KA just use the stock system, is that hidden/hard-coded in the KA folder?

Thanks

P.S. Sorry for the other comment.

[Kt'Hyla]

Pretty much everything, save the Romii system, is just stock. Only the Romii system needs to be in there.

[Uwe]

I will setup a fix for the modded systems issue in the september update for RD when I am back from vacation.

Up to this time, if you have trouble, just rename your system folder, create a new empty one and copy romii.kas from the old to the new folder. This will fix it.

The RD missions are intended to be playes in sequential order, just like KA

Mission #2.

Now that was a dirty trick! You guys know what I'm talking about.

Thanks

Thanks

Yep, and it seems to be totally random each time as well, so you can't even get prepared for it in the next attempt!

[Kt'Hyla]

You're welcome! I found it very useful to have my finger on the "o" button until the trick happens...

i just finished the RD missions and to me they was a little hard but very very fun .i think y'all done a great job. at the very end during the movie what appeard freeked me out i didn't expect that thanks for some good fun i can't wait for the next installment. once again thankyou to all that made this.

[Admiral Tyrell]

Fan-bloody-Tastic Guys!

Just finished 'em all. Very good job! Was some of the best fun I've had in KA since it was released! Missions didn't crash ONCE! And the ending movie was fantastic!!!!!

Can't wait for the next instalment now!!!!

[Kt'Hyla]

Whew, for a while there I was worried that they'd be too easy, but I keep forgetting that we've been testing them for a while. Thanks for the compliments guys, our aim is to please!

The cutscene was Uwe's idea, and we bounced a fair number of ideas back and forth til it came out as it is. As you may have guessed, it's a direct setup for the next mission, and if you're looking for a little more before the next set comes out, check out Don's novel "Romulan Dawn", available from the Download section on the RD website...

Bug with the first mission. When I enter the Last system with the Romulan ship, the ship is just floating there, can't be scaned, and takes no damage (except crew damage). Im only in the system for about a minute or so (just enough to warp to the target and find out someone loaded blanks in my ship) and then the Genesis explosion warning happens. Then an error message, something about the ship not removing then im stuck because of the error message then the mission fails.

Completely fresh install and patched, has happened 3 times


*Edit* 5th time is the charm

[Hudge]

Just played through, very nice aside from the above mentioned problems. Overall it was pretty good, I did feel that the missions were too easy, the last one was very easy for the final mission I thought. I was so upset at the end, about to beat that final ship, destroyed its warp and had the hull to 49 percent when the end came.

Oh well, nice set up for the end, look forward to the next set

Ok somebody tell me what I'm missing. I cann't figure out how to activate the jamming device in mission 3.

[61-CENTURION]

VOS 3-4 to activate jammer.
