    Your first Wing Commander game?

    I had a friend who had Wing Commander I, and was quite enthusiastic about it. He started it up, and talked me through it, but I was into BattleTech, MechWarrior, and the Forgotten Realms RPG games, so I became frustrated very quickly. A few years later, I found Privateer, with the speech...

    Additional note: If you select a room with lights, to be used in the main menu, the lights appear as squares. (So, disable them in the ini file.) Also, the background music/sound effects played in most rooms won't play in the main menu. Only the sounds of the ships flying by will work. (So...

    That means that it's in the "Freelancer\DLLS\BIN\Content.dll" and the "Freelancer\EXE\Freelancer.exe" files. The gentleman who created the OpenSP mod, Xeres I believe, stated that he hacked into the Content.dll file to make the OpenSP mod. He stated that it's filled with data for all of the...

    Yepper! While they are a faction, all of their data is embedded in the Freelancer Engine. Changing it in the ini files only works if it's also changed in the engine. (Or so the theory goes, as no one's hack it, yet.) The only Nomad data that doesn't appear to be in the engine is the ship's...

    Oh, yeah. I tried. The Freelancer Engine allows one to modify quite a bit, but messing with the Nomads is a BIG NO-NO!!! Giving the Nomads new ships causes crashes! Giving the Nomad ships to other factions causes crashes! Replacing the Nomads with other factions causes crashes! The only...

    Don't blame yourself, Bob, I got tons of requests to crank up the AI! But to explain the difference, the Liberty Rogues were what could be termed "Beginners" as far as their flying was concerned. And while enjoyable to fire upon, they became even worse pilots when they were given the Talons...

    The aforementioned bugs are due to corrupt files. Some occur during download, but most were caused by my POS computer, and it's one of the many reasons I left the mod. My computer enjoys corrupting DLL and INI files, and I've never discovered why. Sorry 'bout that! Bob McDob's "Gamma"...

    Reckoning Gamma

    Sorry, the Cruise Disruption function is tied to THAT hardpoint in the Freelancer Engine. As far as I know, no one's been able to hack it, yet. In fact... There are several oddities that would be nice if we COULD hack the Freelancer Engine. Did you know? 1) That there's a pre-recorded...

    Reckoning Gamma

    You're Wrong, Very Wrong! Here's why: In Freelancer, each ship has it's own engine, but there are 4 player thrusters setup to work basically the same on every ship. (Which is fine.) In Privateer, there were 7 Engine upgrades, but only one Afterburner. (Which upgrades available depended on...

    Reckoning Gamma

    Up, until v4.5, it was combatworthy. Many players complained that in Privateer, the Tarsus was, at best, a mediocre transport. So, ever since, it's been gimped!

    Reckoning Gamma

    THAT is a Freelancer problem, not a mod problem. The Freelancer engine is set up to attack the player at all costs. By manipulating the AI, I managed to tone it down, a bit, in the last version I released. Bob mentioned that he disabled that, so it's back to the default Freelancer version...

    My favorite WWII movie

    My favorites are Patton and The Great Escape. Although, I also enjoy the more wimsical Kelly's Hero's, and Von Ryon's Express. Tora, Tora, Tora is high on my list, but primarily because several of my friends, who were stationed at Hickam, are in it, and they told me of several interesting...

    Speed problems

    Don't feel bad... My 3.0ghz Athlon w/512mb ram does the same thing! 'Course my graphics were set up for DirectX, not OpenGL. So, I have to setup everything for a really lousy computer, in the setup program. In heavy systems I've had as low as 0 fps, and in light systems, as high as 93 fps.

    Some bugs I noticed

    All 3 of those ships have entries in the Units.CSV file, however, there are no models in the \units\folders. So... When it's called, you see an invisible model, complete with it's weapons and equipment, as assigned in the Units.csv file. But, because there is no actual model, the best you can...

    A strange bug...

    Changing the entry to false solved the problem!

    Confused

    YES! It's supposed to look exactly like the Privateer Remake. The primary thing you'll notice, right off, will only occur after you join the Merchant's Guild or the Mercenary's Guild. Once you've joined the Mercenary's Guild, you'll notice some Demon's for sale. Once you've joined the...

    A strange bug...

    Good question! I'll try that, and see if it helps. (It sounds like it should.) I just checked out the config files for Vega Strike, and the Privateer Remake, and neither of them has it, so that's probably the problem. Thanx! :D

    A strange bug...

    Well... THEY ARE!?!! I was running the Brilliance misssion for Tayla, to Hector base in the Troy system... I used afterburner's from the jump point to Hector, with the Militia or Confed hot on my tail the entire way... I landed on Hector, and I could still hear my afterburners... THEN... I...
