Unity? Nice

Looks realy good…imo you should make the ships more realistic in size…since you are not limited by FL’s engine. Just my 2 cents.

+1 Support here. If anything in real size that will be cool.

If your project is opened…. can we edit the UI? you know im still attempt change FL UI to become modern…

BUDU_KRATOK · wrote on 27 Jan 2011, 15:16

You can edit anything - from NPC AI to Interface
All buttons, windows etc. - PNG files.

PNG files? Heh, that’s as editable as you can get. Well, short of releasing editable .PSDs/.XCFs/Whatevers of the interface. ^^

Logon-screen. This project using MySQL database => you can create Web-interface for players… and more…

Examples of UI:

In other words: Freelancer 2 (fan edition) upcoming!
BTW I think it would be better if you make a bit different HUD and UI, maby something round this time…

Bas · wrote on 27 Jan 2011, 20:43

Is this a general login screen?

I mean…in theory, this opens A LOT of new possibilities - For instance, players could earn awards for their work in the game, players & servers can interact much more with each other, and I guess with this it will be easy to organizie multi-server tournaments or such stuff.

What it is even more incredible & surprising is your very fast progress on this project. Simple unbelievable.

It really looks promising, I just hope the coding backend is as good as the visuals

Keep it up!

I saw a video of battle star galactica online on guru 3d a few days ago, according to the article on there it is made using unity and will be playable in a web browser. Looks pretty snazzy considering. Engine obviously has potential.

BSGO video.

Vesko · wrote on 28 Jan 2011, 16:33

Indeed. And you say it’s playable in a web browser? How is this possible?

cue pipe dream about browser-based FL

Kuze · wrote on 28 Jan 2011, 16:35

Oh please make stuff like power control - you give more power to shield if needed while giving away from other systems etc, matching speed with enemy ship, realistic sizes…stuff like these missing from FL

BUDU_KRATOK · wrote on 28 Jan 2011, 18:12

Yes, it’s playable in browser. Just install Unity Player and see this demo of engine:

very very interesting. respect. would be cool

Gisteron · wrote on 29 Jan 2011, 09:48

about the power control… is that actually impossible to build to FL. say, if everything requires power - engines, shields, guns, all of the stuff - could it be made possible to say increase the concentration of power given to the shield via a key. the player could define in his options, how many percents he wants the switches to be.

Runs well on Linux with Wine

U3d is supported Linux. So im not worry about that if this project will become success.

Sorry, i don’t see a linux download… http://unity3d.com/unity/download/
