Better Health Through Less Flavor
Freelancer Mod Released!
Thanks to The Amazing TC Man and blacklance.org, the pre-alpha version of The Reckoning: A Wing Commander Privateer Mod for Freelancer is ready for download!
---
This is the experimental, pre-pre alpha, seat-of-the-pants release. In other words, although things should be mostly stable, there are still a host of niggling problems (read: bugs) that keep it from achieving full potential. Be liberal with the C&C - we don't have enough. There's a thread pending in the Using Mods Help forum that should serve as a kind of troubleshooting ground.
This SHOULD work with FLMM or any of its contemporaries, but I've had problems running it on my computer with it (or any other mod, for that matter). The biggest problem is the ship cmps - they don't react well to mod managers. Since they don't overwrite anything, I've split the mod into two parts. Copy the Freelancer folder to wherever you installed the game, and the Freelancer Mod Manager to the other one. If all goes well, everything should work correctly.
As of yet, there's not much of a readme yet. This file is for listing all the various changes which should be apparent in the IDS, but aren't because the IDS hasn't been implemented yet.

Special Thanks: The Lancers Reactor news team, for making that dumb April Fool's update that inspired our name
HCl, for making all those tech tools without which nothing would ever happen. Ever.
PopsiclePete, for taking the time out to register at our boards and take interest in our project.
Hadrian, for agreeing by default to do all our art.
Bandit LOAF, who didn't really contribute anything, but whose vast positronic brain made formulating the plan a little easier. Also, for unbanning me from the WCCZ Forums.
ElectricBrain, for updating LancersReactor about the Project.
TC, for reminding Chris Reid to update WCNews about the project.
Chris Reid, for actually updating WCNews about the project.

Thank you, and to all a good night.
