Starport Forge Project Requests

Thanks, I’ve added all of the old files back.

I’ve managed to make a bunch of my projects subprojects of another project, e.g. DSAccountManager is a subproject of the UTFEditor.

I don’t want this and can’t figure out how to reverse it. Could a friendly admin please hit the server until they stop being subprojects…many thanks

Thanks for fixing that.

I’ve just checked the “http://forge.the-starport.net/projects/dsam/settings” and it allows me to set the subproject but not remove it as there’s no “no subproject option”.

I expect if I click save settings - even though I haven’t intentionally made this a subproject - I’ll cause the it to become a subproject again.

I can’t see how to avoid this. Am I missing something or is this a setup/permissions/something problem?

Does this make sense?

Yep, it does. Thank you very much.

And what middle size (in MB) is for mods?

Average size of a typical mod?

Can be anything - ours is about 64MB.

The ship .mat files make it very big if they contain textures in .tga format, each texture may be over 2MB. Converting the textures to .dds format in the .mat files reduces them by a lot, but can cause problems sometimes. And many modders are making hi-res textures too so this adds to the file size.

Hi! Im not a Developer or some sort , but Could I request few things? All I need is:

DS Account Manager - By Cannon

A player account manager built to replace IonCross. Supports editing individual player information, searching and statistics generation. Works best with FLHook Plugin.

DS Process Manager - By Cannon

A server process manager to restart/start FLServer when it crashes. It program also includes chat logging, IP logging and an online player list. Works best with FLHook Plugin

DS Update - By Cannon

A DLL based auto-updater that is started automatically when Freelancer is started. It downloads zip based update packages from web servers making it easy to support mirrored servers.

What do you want? If you’re not a dev, you have no need for dev access and all these projects are already on the Forge. Get them there?

Sorry I didn’t knew that , already found them

Requesting permission to dock… oops, to create project
My mod is about 3 mb.

I need a nickname to whom I can give the manager rights.

Sry, missed that.
Forge Nickname: Mindhunter

You guys need to create an account on the Forge, remember. It’s not automagically knowing who you are

I want to request a project, but I have some questions about setup:

1. Can we change Project Name and Project Nickname later?

We have a project but the release name is yet to be determined.

2. Can I have one umbrella project with sub-projects that I control? Or does each sub-project require authorization?

Ex:

Frostbite Falls Projects (main)

• Tool1
• Mod3
• Experiment7
• Experiment7.2 (fork)

3. Does the Forge include a private Developer’s forum?

No point in filling up the main board with project-specific chatter. Anything that we release, include how-it-is-done articles, would obviously go on the wiki and/or main board.
