New major project - newbie modders welcome

    Hi Fjord, I´d like to give it a go as i´ve spent months modding .ini files and reading all the articles by Chips in the forums. I´m not good on ships but i´ve been beavering away at fixing all sorts of problems in FL. I like doing bases and commodities, i do systems etc so give me a shout if you´re interested Gibbons power comes from bananas

    so where are the forums and website???? are they up yet...or have u forgotten about us?

    Never argue with an idiot or he`ll just drag you down to his level and beat you with experience

    no, i havent forgotten about you guys. im sorry for the delay, our site admin takes a bit longer than expected and he wants to open it once all features of the site and some forum mods (phpbb) are finished. i can ask again to make at least the stuff public what already works (forum). until then, to feed you with info, here´s a link to the starts of the whole idea on the excelcia boards: http://www.klngarthur.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11678 till now we have already like 10 times (or even more) more workouts, concepts and documentation on the new boards. mod designers have been very busy lately <img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> again, im sry that it takes a bit longer than expected. you wont miss it for sure when its opened, ill take care of that.

    NightHound : everyone is welcome to help. we wont use xml scripts though, would become a bit too big and i´d lose overview. merging the work of all the ppl would be a pain as well (for normal ini files i have some tools that help merging a lot - winmerge

    Bad news - kinda worst case scenario. our Host lost EVERYTHING. Infinity site + forums, containing ~300 posts with mod concepts, workous, ideas, background stories, ... intense work of 2-3 weeks, all gone the old Excelcia site + forums (~over 1600 users, over 70k posts), all gone. We ont know exactly what happened to the host but it was a massive failure in all systems, we dont know if there are any working backups. All my tutorials are also lost. I think i dont have to say that i am veryveryvery frustrated to lose all those things. ~one and a half years of excelcia, all those memories, experiances, the starting of my modding carreer, a lot of roleplay by me and the others. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_sad.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> I have put so much energy and dedication into Excelcia (first roleplaying, then admin, modding, ...) and now Infinity. Most of you cant imagine what it takes to run a place and/or to coordinate a modding team and to mod big parts of a big mod beside real life, work, my girl, ... Im smashed to the ground and will need a bit time to realize what all i have lost. The Infinity mod will be delayed by this. We need to rebuild the site and forums and post the most important concepts. I will need at least a week to dig all th things out of my mind and write them down again. Im sorry for this. Sometimes things just dont go right. ill keep you updated. I wont give up the project, even if we suffere a severe drawback before we really started. a very very sad Fjord --------------------------------- Infinity TC Mod Leading Developer

    i have the &quot;Backup&quot; of the info my brain, lol. i only know this: http://www.klngarthur.com/forum We had all the info and docs on the boards. Biggest loss for you guys is prolly the loss of all my tutorials on the excelcia boards. ask Chips, he knew them. most important were the weapons, fuse, thn and system tuts. not sure if i will ever have time to rewrite those, probably not.

    sure, you can use whatever tut you see fit. So far i have found my weapons tutorial (tnx for the acadia modders to copy it for me <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>) and i might be able to get a backup of my other tuts as well. (from a half-year old backup, lol, but that would be ok cause i havent touched the tuts for a year). so the tuts luckily arent all lost, still the forums were a big loss. our site is almost good to go, we have been very busy recreating the forums and the content, so not much is missing. I am about to prepare the announcement and the big opening, expect it ~this weekend. Mod-wiese nothing was lost - simply because we didnt mod much so far. We wanted to plan all into detail and then start the actual moddig work.

    This question is odd but. Was the server with the forums on a &quot;home&quot; compter server? if so why can´t you just use recovery software? like winhex or handy recovery 1.00? WinHex <A href=´http://www.x-ways.net/winhex/index-m.html´ Target=_Blank>Here</a> Hand Recovery <A href=´http://www.handyrecovery.com/´ Target=_Blank>Here</a>

    tnx <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> we gonna launch this weekend, once the most important concepts stand. Most of the modding tasks cant start right away, they need to be worked out. What can get started are mostly ships (they take a bit longer anyway). and also whatever concepts are finalized. There will be a LOT to mod,but i think i can say that the concepts are a lot better then Excelcia was.
