    Freelancer porting of Wing Commander ships

    Argh, next step finished. I've managed to get all the in-game shops to sell the goods according to my logic: 33 thousand lines of shop references. I'd be dead without scripting. Experimenting now with flight dynamics, and balance. I'm probably going to buff the storage volume of the...

    Epic only has itself to blame for it, with its tactic of extremely aggressive exclusive titles. Exclusivity was one of the worst aspects of consoles, which Epic is doing its utmost to bring to PC gaming. So, not rewarding them for such a move is not fanboyism, simply people voting with their...

    Now I do appreciate the comparison, but usually, miracles take me one week or two, and I'm currently busy performing one IRL. :-P

    Freelancer porting of Wing Commander ships

    I might try to get a shot at it, but that still is pretty low priority compared to making the new stuff work properly and be relatively balanced. Combine this with a critical oral exam coming in less than two weeks and I don't think I'll start learning how to use such capture tools before...

    Freelancer porting of Wing Commander ships

    Interesting. Looks like it's restricted to the special Blood Dragons' Vaktoth (yes, they have a special one). I'll check on this issue, thanks for the report! EDIT: can't see the cause of the issue, replaced the Dragons' Vaktoth with the normal Kusari one in the online file as a quickfix for...

    Freelancer porting of Wing Commander ships

    You can see above the successful implementation of the new equipments ingame. Right now, I've only finished the process for the engines, the guns, shields and powerplants still having to be added over the next few days. On this screenshot, I'm pondering whether to add an antimatter drive...

    Freelancer porting of Wing Commander ships

    I have no idea how to capture a video from a game, I have never uploaded a video online and I have no Youtube account nor any intent to get any - I'm not on any social media besides LinkedIn, which I do not use besides updating my resume anyway. And, TBH, there isn't much to show off in terms of...

    Freelancer porting of Wing Commander ships

    Usually, as soon as I can reproduce a signaled bug, I fix it and publish the fixed version. The most annoying one is the capship-related collision weirdness, but other than that, the mod seemed to be pretty stable when I finished my campaign run.

    Freelancer porting of Wing Commander ships

    Current update: I'm working a bit more on the concept to use for balancing, and the idea is to have multiple balancing done on various scales: * Type of equipment; * Faction; * Grade of equipment. For example, let's consider guns. Any ship can mount any type of gun, as long as they can power...

    Freelancer porting of Wing Commander ships

    Bit of an update on the second phase of the modding. First of all, I'm looking more closely on the texture part, to integrate better effects on the ships (glow and that stuff). Second part is the start of the rebalance work, which is intended to eventually make most fighters decent choices for...

    Freelancer porting of Wing Commander ships

    I guess I'll try starting more fights in asteroid fields to try and see if it leads to CTD, while I'll work the Bloodfang's turret position. Check the files in the EXE folder as well, though, they should work with modern Windows versions. EDIT: Bloodfang fixed. EDIT 2: updated various...

    Have you tried running it with Windows 7 compatibility? That's the one I'm using here.

    Freelancer porting of Wing Commander ships

    What ship were you using when you had that crash, and what ship did you collide with as well? I'm asking because I've had collisions too without CTD and need more information to try and reproduce it. Thanks! :-)

    Freelancer porting of Wing Commander ships

    Yay, gonna check that one too. X_X EDIT: successfully reproduced the CTD. EDIT 2: weird, I've actually had the CTD once, but I cannot reproduce it anymore. The hell? Can you try to reproduce the CTD yourself using the trade lanes? I do get some short freezes too, which doesn't surprise me that...

    Freelancer porting of Wing Commander ships

    XD No problem. There IS an issue with battleships' collision meshes, but this scene and the one at the end of this mission before you land on the Intrepid should be the last ones where it can happen. I'll have a busy day today, so I won't be able to work on the collision meshes for a dozen...

    Freelancer porting of Wing Commander ships

    I know, right? Though the scene looks a bit derpy in-game because for some reason, I cannot properly control the docking/undocking paths, meaning the fighter starts in its hangar normally, then turn around and backs away to the front of the hangar (thus the Banshee pointing to the Durango even...

    Freelancer porting of Wing Commander ships

    OK, I'm going to try and reproduce both bugs on my sides and will keep you posted. Thanks for the reports! EDIT: fixed the Ekapshi, gonna check on Suffolk now. EDIT 2: I cannot reproduce the Suffolk bug and will need more information. OTOH, I stumbled unto an amusing bug for my internal...

    @NextYearInKilrah I'm currently uploading the reworked version of the mod that should fix these crashes you've been experimenting (the files should be online within one hour of this post, as it's a pretty big upload on my side). Once you've installed it, you can delete the...

    Freelancer porting of Wing Commander ships

    Thanks for the report! I've reproduced it successfully and solved it on my end, as shown below: That one is weirder, since I went through that scene during my run. Considering the previous issue, I'm pretty sure I know what to do: when I set up the new ships, I defined a new file...

    Freelancer porting of Wing Commander ships

    Point by point answer: * Thanks, that's pretty much why I made it! * The agility of the craft has currently been made identical to compensate for the removal of most arcs for the guns, any gameplay modification will come after I finish my first campaign test run to check for bugs and glaring...
