Create Freelancer 2

I agree. The reason Microsoft isn´t having any updates, i think, is because this game is already three years old (i´d still love updates, though), and they´re focussing on new games. But we should make a petition on http://www.petitiononline.com, everyone should sign there, have a comment, and i´d think we´d have a massive number of signs, as Freelancer has a huge community of active fans! Anyone interested in the http://www.petitiononline.com idea ? EDIT: Whoops, it seems there´s already a petition going on at <A href=´http://www.petitiononline.com/FLPet/petition.htm´ Target=_Blank>petitiononline</a> (their search bar doesn´t seem to work, cause i´ve searched and didn´t find any FL2 petitions :S) Edited by - cuber3 on 6/20/2005 10:45:20 PM Edited by - cuber3 on 6/20/2005 10:45:54 PM

You know you can just make a new game yourself. My friends do themselves We Will fight in the space! We Will fight on the planets! We will fight in the fields and in the belts! We will fight in the galaxies! WE SHELL NEVER SERRENDER!!! Sorry Winston, but someone had to change it.

I agree with the idea of making a new Freelancer 2 but as my grampa alway says :&quot;if u wana do somthing good , do it your self.&quot;in another way, i think if they wanted to do somthing new thei wold did it long ago, so i prefer a well maded mod, BUT we still need to uncript the .exe if we wana make new stuff, and that´s what we´r supposed to ask MS: to give us the sourse code for the .exe and we can create a moded &quot;Freelancer 2&quot;.

yeah, alll the modders should just make a super mod

That´s a great idea. Why don´t we make Freelancer 2 our self! Anyone know how to create a game? Note: I´m not beeing caustic (sarcastic) let´s do this for real.

I have made a header file(.h) and a library(.lib) for movie.dll! The file that allows WMV files to played. So any of you people wanting to start making a game ask me! Of course it´s also the moderator´s choice.

well, all i can say is i admire you guyz, ive been playing fl since it came out and i must say that i have pretty much given up on MS releasing fl2 or any/many new updates <img src=smilies/icon_smile_sad.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> i hav voted on that website and thought it appropriate to point out that there are now 3686 signatures! holy cow! maybe this will show ms what a market they actualy have... _______________________ Your new here, right?

Sorry to burst your bubble guys, but emailing that petition to MS wish is pointless. I talked on the phone to the people of Microsoft for 7 hours straight only to find out that all email sent to that address is not hardly ever looked at, and if it is, they just take what they want from it and do as they wish with that information. I also tried to contact an editor directly, and they don´t allow you. I was told that all the people that help create freelancer don´t work for Micrsoft anymore, and that they don´t have any person information on them. Keep trying to get them to do it, but you would be better off creating the FL2 yourself than waiting for them. I wanted you to know this. Don´t hate me because of it.

thx for lettin us know...shame tho isnt it? oh well, if the pigs at MS wont do it, maybe we should get some rich peeps to get some others to :p _______________________ Your new here, right?

Be nice to MS, they are the reason we even have freelancer. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

Has anybody thought about using the released source code from Allegiance? It´s another space game from Microsoft that never really went anywhere, but they release the code for it, and it could be used.

allegiance was cool.

allegiance is a completely different concept from freelancer,look at the names and the meaning is clear enough:Allegiance is for clans/people who want to work in teams ONLY,it has no allowance for,hmm Freelancers <img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Also Allegiance takes place in space maps that are more along the lines of warcraft games,ie no jumpholes,warp gates,etc,you play on one map until one team has won,then the game begins again.its really a very different kind of spacegame(which is very cool,its just that its really not like freelancer at all).

I´ve never even heard of allegiance, but the way it sounds, it´s almost the same exact thing as Nexus the Jupiter Incident.

Ok, since Uncle Bill dosn´t wana help us (and as far as i heard DA was sold for MS) then our only hope is the moders. moders have asheaved good progress in adding new stuff and paches that, if well combined, might make &quot;our FL2&quot;. And if we look from the good side, now we can have FL2 the way we want, after all moders are gamers and know what FL still needs, plus any one can ask a moder to make him a FL2 with the featurs he want...

Cold_Void I didn´t mean mod it, I meant use the 3d engine as a base for Freelancer 2. All of the things you mentioned can be changed in that respect, because we would be reprogramming it. Edited by - grapenut on 6/28/2005 2:36:42 AM

Total Conversion. I applaud the effort that made this mod. However, FL2 will only be FL2 with a new exe. All mods now are based on the current game engines capabilities and limitations.

Outstanding. You guys are great. I wonder... Is there any way to get the graphics engine from combat flight sim 3? That had some cool graphics, even though it was all earthbound (obviously). Ha, that would be crazy, flying a P-51 in space. I don´t know it´s just an idea, But it might work. Some people are like slinkies. They don´t do anything, but you can´t help but smile as they tumble down the stairs.
