Think its time to say hello and THX

Since I joined this community several weeks ago i think its time to
say hello to everyone and a BIG THANK YOU to all the people that
helped me during the last view weeks with hints and solutions to my
problems i was experiencing while modding.

To introduce myself:
I´m male and live in Germany. As my Nickname can tell you… the people
surrounding me just call me J.R. (yes… its because of the 80´s TV Soap “DALLAS”).
My modding experiences are quite regular and basicly i learned
it all by studying ini-files of released Mods. So…almost two years ago I
came across to build my own MOD (for LAN and kind of "private Internet LAN-Partys) called “ENIGMA ATG”.
Currently its Version 3.14 and still in progress.
My intension was to build a MOD wich is close to the
Vanilla FL but features the most attractive Features i found in other
MODS but i am kind of proud to say that i was doing it all by
myself via trial and error (took me AGES !!!) and a lot of reading… and OF COURSE HELP FROM YOU GUYS !!!
The main theme of my MOD is an alliance between The Order and Liberty because of the rearrising of the Nomads.
The Alliance covers the Rheinland Forces and Kusari aswell,
but the last two are still in a kind of “internal war” wich can be seen in HUGE epic Battles…
Sure… I added a lot of Weapons, Ships, Stations and Shields but not
to strong in order to keep all the Vanilla Equipment compatitive. I did a couple of
new systems and applied new equipment like armor, powergenerators,
tractors, scanners, repair droids, mountable upgrades for energie,
shield-capacity and-rechargerate aswell as access-codes for some
bases and gates via FLHOOK. As a special I added an AIR TO GROUND Feature
with a DAY and a NIGHT version of a planet surface where you can fly around and loot some nice things
(very difficult and manageable only if you´re in a party with additional Players).
Made a kind of "Storyline via Rumors and news and spent a lot of time to create some nice
Warpgates with beautyful new jump-effects, new music, sounds and backgrounds.Commodities and special
Equipment-Items, improved AI and skills of NPCs and added Battleship and Escort encounters, included HD-Textures and SDK aswell as cloaking and other features like “ammolimit”… and so on… Lately I created a new way to start a new char with an option to
choose your further way (i.e. Pirate or Freelancer with the accurate
REP to their allied factions without a startingscript in FLMM).
The ballancing of the MOD is something i was doing the last few
weeks and its also still in progress.
As most of the MODDERS know: This one will NEVER be a FINAL VERSION but I am proud to say that me
and all the “BETA-TESTERS” are very satisfied with the results so far. Enough of this.
I take the opportunity to say a BIG thank you to all the people that helped me on the way.
A special greeting goes to ADOXA… As far as I can see:
He is the magic in person. Many many THX for all your help and patience.

Hope that some day I ll be able to help someone who´s also in trouble while modding.
Greetings J.R.

Thanks for the hint.
here are some pics on imageshack:

sorry… some are still in BMP-format… forgot to convert them…

Now… After the last 5 month of “BETA-TESTING” the Version 4.1
seems to be the “almost final” stage of my MOD.
Exept of some minor bugs “Enigma ATG 4” is done, stable and very very very fun to play…
As I said it is (and was) always meant to be a
“tiny, private and small-comunity MOD” but I am kinda proud to say
that it has become a MUCH larger and more fun projekt I´ve ever imagined when I first started.
Throughout the last 2 years I accomplished almost ALL the things I was heading
for with this MOD and its time to say a very
BIG THANK YOU to this comunity with all the support YOU folks gave to me.
Especially the Coders with their EXELENT DLLs and OFFSET-HACKS made a lot of “my dream” come true.
Its not that perfect like others and I´m sure that (in some points) it wouldn´t be able to
sustain a closer look of our professionals here… but
Enigma ATG is “my baby.”… and it wouldn´t ever have been possible to manage it without YOU folks.

THX again for all your help and support.
I hope to be able to give some of it back to others in need…

Cheers J.R.
