Thanks to the following players who supplied news items! Bobby, AlphaDog, Daekash, Peacekeeper, Gray Mouser, Fathom, Suzanna, St4rB|4st3r, Oddjob
Soupman has provided the voice for the Bartenders and Male Bar Patrons, nice work! So we have 830 more wav files bringing our total to over 4,400
Three Quests have been added. The prize for completing all three is very nice. See the ~GateKeeper~ to get started. This is not an easy series of quests, we predict it will be months before anyone finishes them all.

The Ranks have been adjusted. The maximum rank was 90, now you can go to rank 100 (net worth of about $2 billion). A net worth of $1 billion puts you at rank 50 now (not 89, so don’t freak out!). The ranks below 50 have been graduated differently. A new player will now show as rank 1. Once they get their $5 million for the manual they will show as rank 5. They are fair game to shoot at now at rank 10.

Kudos to Soupman for hours each night updating clan reps and tags
and to the admins putting in many hours at the front door:
Joker
Lynch
Sirius
WireTurp
King Kong

2.25 New Bartender And Mission Char voices

Since We went public with the Mod we have been working on replacing all of the ingame Voices with ones created by us using TTS software and Human voices … with the release of 2.25 we have replaced all of the original voices Except for Trent…

Trent doesnt say anything server specific like commodities Factions base names things like that so were keeping him … even though we did rename him to Johns This has never been done in a freelancer Mod before … why ?

because its a Huge ordeal … it has taken over 8000 files and many more corrections to get the ingame Synch to be watchable … Dwn and i have been working on these since the start so its taken a few years to get to this point … but it gives us the bragging rights of being the first freelancer mod to ever get it done … all chars in our Mod now speak our Ship names , commodities, faction names and so on … there are no more vanilla refrences left spoken in the mod.

Here a Few Teaser vids of the New Bar Voices , yup thats Me playing the part …

Enjoy

2.25 will be avail tommorow christmas day from our website … see you on the other side
