THE FIRST CRUSADE CAMPAIGN PART 1: The Dark Passage (V1.0)



-Ok. Let me tell you how to install this campaign.
 Below there is a list with the files included
 in this zip and where to place them.
 All files go into your main freespace directory.
 Note: You may have to create some folders!
 (i.e. data\models; data\tables; data\maps.)
 The Planet model wich I've used in my missions
 is made by Dark and replaces the terran navbuoy.

      -weapons.tbl		   -\data\tables

 If you are installing the weapons.tbl, all weapon discriptions
 in the tech room will be in german, because I've extracted it
 from the german .vp file. However, it is not necessary to install
 the weapons.tbl - the campaign will also run without these changes.
 But if you want to see some cool new capital ship weapons and lasers,
 then you have to to install the weapons.tbl. Note: to undo all changes
 you only need to remove all files and if you want to uninstall the
 whole campaign, simply delete all files from their directory.
 

-System required:

     Pentium200 MMX
     32MB RAM
     Freespace V1.6

-System recommended:

     PentiumII 300
     64MB RAM
     3Dfx glide
     Freespace V1.6 (or higher)

-Now let's start: Select the First Crusade campaign in the campaign
 room and start it. I expect that you are playing at skill-level
 easy or medium, otherwise the later missions are too hard to win.
 (Or you are a very good Pilot!)
 In the first mission you'll fly a combat air patrol,
 in the second you'll lead the attack on an entire Planet,
 In the third you have to cover a Fenris class ship and in the
 last mission... be surprised.

-This is a sequel campaign to the Demo mission The First Crussade.
 I have had problems making the first mission for this
 campaign, so you will only find the missions playing
 after the Demo. This is part one of the Crussade campaign
 and you'll found out somethig more about the events surrounding
 the GTD Cayuga and the unknown space deep behind enemy lines...

-Now I'll thank some great people in the Freespace community:

       Robert "Dark" Wild   :     For his outstanding Planet Model (2. mission)
       John Hanton          :     For the Basic Athena textures.
       Adam "Ace" Rorabough :     For the Cardinal Spear campaigns
                                  wich have inspiried me.
       Volition             :     For placing FRED within the Game.
       you                  :     For choosing this campaign.

       and "Space: Above
       and Beyond"          :     My favourite SF TV-Show.

-Bug report:

     The starting message in the second mission is appesring
     several times. I have no Idea why. If somebody knew
     the Problem, please mail me!

     The game crushes in the third mission. I've played the
     missions several times and the game crushes one times in
     the third mission if I play in software render.
     This is possibly a bug in the game. If you are playing
     the mission again, it won't crush.

     There are some (???) grammatical mistakes in the messages
     included in the missions. Sorry, but my english isn't very good.
