  • Multiplayer Tedium

    I think people enjoy the MP side of things once they get with a good clan, and get some good RP going with other clans. For better or for worse... PvP doesn't seem to have the appeal that it used to have... most (but not all) of the more active servers are going the RP route.

  • Small server agreggation proposal.

    I'd be a brilliant thing to do, and good for the life of the game as a whole. Unfortunately, alot of admin or established people within communities do not like to give up power or standing within their community. Even if it is for the greater good of all involved.


    We just merged with another community last week. It took alot of thinking and a leap of faith. But tbh Im glad to get rid of some of the headaches and have more beside working with me on things.

  • Huge Planets

    Hey mate, If you want to edit SPH files you need UTF Edit. I figure you are a smart guy... its pretty self explanitory what needs to be done. But for those that dont know... they need to edit Radius... thats it. :P

  • Start up screens

    To edit the startup movie... go to exe\freelancer.ini. The particular section of interest is the [Startup] section.


    [Startup]
    movie_file = movies\MGS_Logo_Final.wmv
    movie_file = movies\DA_Logo_Final.wmv
    movie_file = movies\FL_Intro.wmv


    If you wish to modify your startup video simply change the entry as such....


    [Startup]
    movie_file = movies\MGS_Logo_Final.wmv
    movie_file = movies\DA_Logo_Final.wmv
    movie_file = movies\FL_Intro.wmv
    movie_file = movies\<insertcustommoviename>.wmv


    Now, if you want to modify your startup splash screen you need to go to Data\Interface\Intro\Images. The two particular files of interest are... startupscreen.tga and startupscreen_1280.tga. One important thing to note. THESE FILES HAVE AN ALPHA LAYER! Ensure whatever image you are adding has one too.


    If you have photoshop and want to add an alpha layer to your startup image, merely click on the "Channels" tab, click on the "add channel" icon at the bottom of the channel list menu and name it Alpha when you do so, it will appear black. Make this entire channel white.


    I hope this helps, and good luck.

  • My have things changed!

    Hey Baene,


    I see you are still alive. What happened to your APOC mod that your crew was working on? Is it indefinitely on hold?


    Anyways, if you were wondering where the Evolved/Asgard crew went... alot of them play on Shattered Worlds.

  • grrr

    I know it sucks, and sounds cliche... but do a fresh install of Freelancer and redownload the mod. I bet it will work. :)

  • Sorry about this...

    see if they have the Freelancer Misc database for download still. It is an excel spreadsheet with most all of the item, ship, system, and base nicknames in there. Actually its got a TON of good info in there. Kudos to the dude who made it. He has defnitely made my life easier in the past :P

  • Digital Anvil might be gone...

    I hope this isnt out of order due to the 3 URL's per post limit, if so I apologize to the administrators. But I'd really like to give people an opportunity to see a few teaser vids....


    Some random low quality teaser vids (test version of the mod)

  • Digital Anvil might be gone...

    HAH! Thanks for the advert Schwarz :P


    Shattered Worlds is exactly how I'd improve FL. The team over there have asked themselves the same questions and have done what they could to improve upon the game within the limits of the current FL engine.


    Hijack:

    A cooperative project between members of over 6 different FL communities. Until recently it was developed in secret....


    The goal for the SW mod was to be more than a glorified ship/system pack like alot of other mods. While some people might like that sort of thing (Im not knocking on them mods, this is just the mod I've always wanted to play), the SW DevTeam focused on balance first then moved on to other things adding content along the way. On thing you will notice is the cohesiveness of all the ships, you can easily look at a ship and go "yup... thats a Bretonia ship", I think this is conductive to much better player immersion within the FL environment and makes everything feel more cohesive and like it belongs. We got a cool mining set up too. And chances are you've not seen this sort of mining setup before. 10 Fighter Classes, 7 Freighter Classes, workable/unabusable cloaking, dynamic economy, new FX.... Thats just the tip of the iceberg... Basically its Freelancer with better balance, high quality, and alot more content...
