Make a normal map and use that as a texture?…

And if you want to know how to make a normal map, google it.

though this does not exactly fit the topic but i recently thought of something to use in combination with this hack, which would look even better, in theory:

we all know, there are different channels for any material with every sort of rendering engine like FL has, too. what we are using mostly is a luminosity, transparency and diffuse channel while for the diffuse we mostly use a texture and for luminosity, too.
now, is it possible somehow to set a relative value to the diffuse channel? say, if you have a diffuse multiplier of 1.0, you see the texture like it diffuses the lights, if you have less, it is darker and if you have more than 1.0, the face diffuses even more light than it recieves. i saw what it looks like in lightwave, as i made moons with a diffuse of 130%. they really became shiny!
is there a way to make some like that in freelancer? even better it would be if there is an offset to setup a program-based diffuse multiplier so there wouldn’t be any need in editing every single material…
guess it’s the Dc channel, isn’t it?

Nice gravedigging HK. I think the UV wasn’t even released back then.

JDNemo restarted the topic, but that shouldn’t stop you from checking the dates of the posts you’re replying to.

Thanks for your help everyone, it has really helped 🙂

Russian version for Another World mod - works with Flak’s 88 FLhook only, and there is english button to translate it interface.

I have also version for FLHook Plugin Edition and Discovery.

Simply you may give your players direct link to english version.

You know - a lot depends on the context.

If it is not directed at anyone, then it can be let go. But if it is aimed at someone with clear offence intended then of course no.

It is up to the admins to overlook or not if it is in retaliation to the other person commencing hostilities. We have all done this in response, be honest - someone will drive us all to it eventually.

two thrusters - very dynamic 🙂

Yes FL Dev is super… but still doesn’t run nicely on single-core pcs. 😞

Contract work on the space game “Freelancer” and project “Lonestar”. Work includes building 3D models and textures, animation, texturing and refining models, designing and building space ojects from asteroids to debris fields etc. Follow the links lsited below to find more information and graphics/screenshots.

What makes you think it’s scrapped? It’s used by the Baden-Baden & Curacao planetscapes.

Well this could be easily implemented if W0dk4 releases the source for the dx8-9 upgrade. All that has to be done is pull the locations of the ships, render them inside of a sphere mesh onto a render target, then add it as a post-processing effect. It’s the same method I’m going to use. Already tried rendering the mesh directly to the screen but with the inherent matrix instabilities, it shook alot. Same reason a ship shakes at the edge of a system.

agree with everyone, massive thanks! 🙂

It’s called “projection”. You see the system from above normally, using shift with that plugin shows it to you from the side.

Hey, i managed to get a basic starting page/text document for you guy’s to look at any comments/criticisms are welcome i advise you use word wrapping because i didn’t break the lines. just one thing, if you are helping with this i think it would be good to add your own foreword with mine just about modifing freelancer, it’s a bit corny but hay, once you leave this community maybe you will inspire others with your words 🙂

Take a look at it and i need feedback!

Ozed

where from i can start plz tell me

And also ensure you delete your …\My Documents\My Games\Freelancer folder completely, it probably has saved games from the mod in it…

After I learned what to do, I have never needed to play with the registry, nor fully uninstall the game - just deleted my \Freelancer game folder and the “My Games\Freelancer” folders and re-install from my CD and everything is always fine.

I also have a Virtual CD/DVD drive and converted my FL and other CDs to .iso files and use them by mounting in the Virtual CD/DVD drive.

I use Virtual Clone Drive, it’s free and superb:

i was think on working on a server side patch . for a month i was playing around with it with some sucess and failure. the mod i planned to make is this you start off at the rouge base i forgot the name brain fart i guess. well an outcast female finds your escape pod floating in space and returns you there she gives you a dagger and you have to equip it. now i want to put battle ships and nomad order econters. my question is this i used script files to do this can i stiil use those scrit files xml script?now the player chooses to be a rouge or just leave the base with a neautral rep. what happens is the mod crashes when my ship leaves the rouge base . is vthis because of the mod script? i have to wait to build my xp computer my windows 7 does not work with a error checker.

OK, I finally got it! (almost …:))

About SWWT, I’m playing the story with this mod! It’s great, now I finished mission 4, so I asked you to other mod …… when I finished the story I want to have something ready;)

Thx much … See you in MP

If you change the structure of particularly popular entries (like the one w0d pointed to), it might be a good idea to leave redirection pages so as not to lose ranking on search engines.

Otherwise, just go for it. The wiki was built so the community could make it as good as it can be 😉
