Phoenix Mod

[A Former User]

Was played Phoenix RPG long time ago, but this is new mod? Server is up?

[Guest]

It’s not the same one you’re thinking of no. I had this running about a year ago and then stopped for a while. When i’ve finished the current version which should be very soon, days, hours possibly, then i’ll post the download links

Good to hear, haven’t seen any news from this mod in a while now.

Are big asteroids dynamic?

[Guest]

No they aren’t, i’m keeping major eye candy like that for my other mod lol. Phoenix is vanilla based, i’ve updated the gfx a lot, made fx visible from much higher ranges, new ships, weapons, asteroid miners dockable, added in most of the unused models etc. Imagine FL 20yrs later with a dynamic economy.

I hope this is minutes and/or seconds, instead? Been waiting for it a while now.

How’s the Galactica coming along?

[Guest]

Slow but steady, just wanted the server occupied so i can get more feedback for galacticum as it develops. This seemed a good way to resurrect phoenix by updating and fixing a few bugs and then getting on with the other one

I noticed the effects of burning wrecked fighters and of course the right light from the star:)

Updated links to include MODDB.

I also noticed that rogues angrier than xenos

P.S. @Gibbon: Is your nick the -=Goliath=- or something like this? ;))

[Guest]

Something similar to that, yes

One thing, i’ve added in adoxa’s widescreen support addon which is going down rather well, no reported issues so far regarding this feature and don’t expect any. A lot of players have widescreen and are now enjoying the benefits. A fine little addon adoxa

Some screenies from the new 1.06 version which is almost done. Includes a bunch of fixes and added player cloaking and gunboats amongst other things

Uh, Epic screenshots.

TBH, I suspected that Phoenix is a lot smaller and provides just “mini-features”.

[Nova]

Nice. What the “Dynamic Economy” means?

[Why485]

Are those custom sunspines or something? How did you get the stars to look like that?

[Guest]

@ Bas

Er, no is the short answer

@ Nova

Dynamic economy means the prices change in game on commodities depending on how much is being traded

@Why485

That’s not actually a star. Cast your mind back to the rings that sit in Frankfurt and Shikoku. They were empty in the middle, always thought a jh or something should be there. I was sniffing round the unused FX in the code and found that blue shimmering thing. I added the splines from another effect by simply adding 2 HpFX hardpoints and attaching the second effect to the first.

Hey Gibbon,

Congrats for making it into MODDB’s September spotlight! That’s no small feat!
