Freelancer: Still Alive Video Series (Revised)
-
For our server/mod I think it would be pretty easy to get footage just by watching battles or players in a cloaked camera char - so you wouldnt have to organize, but it would also be more time consuming for epic events to occur and filming them. I could give you nicknames for locations of interest and beam command access and so on… also you could try to organize a little bit via the universe chat channel.
Of course I can also help you set up a dedicated server and stuff, but I think it would be nice to just see some pure rather undirected gameplay.
Looking really forward to this, I already got some ideas for filming
Western Alliance (Hamburg City server) will be glad to make some action in gamma and near by systems for this movie and i also support this idea.
Anyway i started interesting thing to advertise freelancer gameplay and action, since i got new computer i am frequently broadcasting on xfire, battles and daily action and a lot of people which never heared of freelancer caught me broadcasting it live and they were quite interested and started asking me what i play, where and different sorts of questions about game… Some even said they will call their friends to try it.
If you wanna check sometimes my broadcast is on www.xfire.com/live_video/tceaglescrashbxSry if i caused any sorts of spam i just want freelancer get more alive and supported vby more people also.
greetz !

Is the still alive project still alive?
(just don’t want that this project will die that soon :-[)

I really hate to say this, but I just haven’t had the time to fully commit to this. Last semester my grades in school fell, and while there were several other factors, one of them was how much time I spent modding/tinkering/filming/etc Freelancer. Trust me I want to. I have been accumulating a long list of things I want to do in Freelancer*, but other than the occasional five minute idea (such as those thrusters the other day) I really haven’t done anything Freelancer related in a long while.
Fortunately several others have taken up the camera ship. crashbx in particular made excellent use of the camera ship and hud tweaks in filming this. So not all is lost.
- Of the highest priority once I finally get back to FL modding, is to release a big effects pack of all the effects I created in the process of making Itano Circus. As per usual, anyone is free to use any of the effects that are included in the mod provided I am cited and notified. But I want to make a big pack to post in the effects showroom for simplicities sake.
-
it would be nice to have The Void included on this project
-
Sadly, I don’t think anyone has taken up this project because of the overwhelming amount of work it would be.

I will try make more videos, i was playing little with Why’s effects, changed some explosion effects
http://www.xfire.com/video/83e23/
This movie got no pvp action i made it only to show how i used whys effects and keep this project alive xD.P.S. Why i noticed your standardeffects.txm kinda disapears and not like fade out of explosion, if you would wanna tweak it out
But i hope u will come with more effects and ideas 
i just love them.now i am playing with borrowed plasmafire standardeffects.txm, nebula txm’s…
-
Yeah that standardeffects.txm is a little buggy. It was the first gif I ever made. I do intend to make a new one, but there is no telling when I will be able to do it.
On a side note. 13CentKiller of Discovery had contacted me asking for help on some of the techniques I used for this video. Fast forward a couple months, and he put together this promotion for Discovery. Its very well done, and is exactly what I had in mind when I originally opened this up.

Btw Why485, I don’t think I ever had a chance to thank you for your great Itano Circus video as it hugely inspired me when I made the latest BSG Galactica mod video, especially to play around with the camera view like you did and to re-do the missile effects.
In case you have not seen it yet:
-
Sure thing. I saw that video not too long ago. I have to congratulate you guys, it is a job well done.
It lives up to the “vision” that I had when I created mine. Seeing what you did in that video makes me feel good because for all the broken promises, at least the whole project inspired several others to make comparable Freelancer videos.

Does anyone have a working link to the no HUD camera mod
Thanks.
