Freelancer Beta 1

Looks like Descent 1

Would there be issue with me uploading some screens? Do you want this kept quiet?

Hey Crazy run the server please - passworded

Random missions dont seem to be implemented, also no station news. Notice how there is a local channel and console channel selector in the chat window.
Auto turrets seem not to be working, I think this is just the ānormalā turret view we already have.Some cool profiling display, activate with Alt+F:
-
One of the F buttons also brings up another display, mightāve been F6.

I dont know, one of the best things Iāve seen so farā¦
Spent a pleasant couple of hours working on the Nomad Elite, it actually looks like the Nomad ship Icon in the contact list!
Attached a copy of the working model if anyone wants to play with it, I hacked a no_fighter sur to go with it. Very much a WIP, no wires and only basic Hardpoints. An interesting thing I have noticed is that the ship SURs do not have shield bubbles or weapon/shield/thruster hitboxes

Nomad Elite
I might try restoring the animation on that Nomad Elite. I found animation nodes in the cmp, it seems the spikes are supposed to fold. Edit: Then again, not likely to be seen.
On another note, I noticed that the Bering gate was locked, I assume all gates out of Liberty are locked. Looking at the files however it seems the rest of Sirius exists in the Beta, deleting the locked gate entries would be useful in seeing if thereās any deleted content outside of Liberty (Iām looking at you, folding-winged Valkyrie!)

Noticed orange targets - they are near enemy for me

Zeus: PgUp/PgDown - camera switch between NPCs
Shift+PgUp/PgDown - camera switch between solars -
-Hitting an object in cruise disrupts engines.
-F7 brings up Audio Viewer.
-Hostile NPCs (Rogues in the Badlands, at least) simply run in a straight line until ~730M before turning and opening up. Staying behind them means they just fly in a line.
-Ships visible flying past from the bar, including cruisers.
-Crazy speeds achievable through EK and thrust.
-Turning neutral NPCs hostile doesnāt affect new spawns, they will spawn neutral even with other NPCs of the same faction hostile. I think attacking NPCs turns all the ones currently in the vicinity hostile, though. -
Slightly different Junker CSV model. Has an extending animated arm.
Slightly different Rh Banshee doesnāt have the cocked up texture on starboard cockpit.
Slightly Different Planet Malta planetscape, blue inside of yellowy, no surrounding terrain (hi_01_madrid_cityscape.cmp) -
Yep. Malta looks better and reminds about cardamine
Edit: tried to run singleplayer(?) scripts from data\ScenarioSaves\ dropping them into exe folder with fl files - no luck.
So intresting what command line parameters has freelancer.exe

You dont have problems with the music files? I seem to be missing a codecā¦Found it! Anybody missing the codec, install this:
All rightā¦
I have the game installed, running with the correct cdcheck hack this time, changed the date, and am running my widescreen monitor at 1024x768 as it didnāt seem to work at the wider and higher resolutions.Now, despite installing the Indeo Codec above Iām getting the following:
createsoundbuffer failed, error=#80070057 on loading of the initial menu screen.Anything else I can try?
FYI, attempting to install the codec starts the installation the wheel spins, and then ends. Reading more it looks like I should have more options during the install but they donāt show.
Am I screwed because Iām 64bit?
-
wonāt go past the first dialog box, just spins and closes
