I wish i had started my modification ages ago!

hey,
Just wanted to give a quick update for anyone that might be interested.
The mod is coming on in leaps and bounds at the moment and is starting to feel like the mod i wanted it to become.
Since the last post i have added more into the missions and the systems for the storyline, ive added cloaking NPC, repair NPC and designed the missions so the player has more interaction with objects and bases with in the systems.Ive introduced quests with in the mod that are generated by rumours heard in the bars and added awards/prizes for those that complete them.
Still got a long way to go… but im still pressing on and hopefully will be posting screen shots and/or videos of progression. that said my old pc struggles with video recording, so it may have to wait untill i get a new one.
P.S - if anyone is interested in helping out with the mod, or has idea’s, or is just plain curious… i could post an old/base copy of the mod for people to try out.
Im having problems with my web browser so i have to use a different pc to … well browse, post, upload / download etc.
So if you want me to post a copy please just reply here or send me a pm.Thanks for reading,
Khayman.

as to your title, it sounds like this mod is kind of a personal enjoyment idea as much as anything so do it anyway. I recently restarted building my mod and hope to have the first version available for the public to play with shortly. Why? Cause I can and I want to. If no one else ever downloads and plays my server, that will be their loss IMHO. I’m not doing it so much to make anyone else happy (although if people do come and play their input is valued greatly), I do it cause I love this game. I wish you luck and hope to see what you accomplish

HI
I am very big fan of freelancer and i just found this old game in some forgotten folder on my hard drive. This was my favourite game when I was kid so now I decided to make some ship models for game. I allready figured out most of the things and steps to make a model and import it to the game but program that I use for 3D modeling is Blender and ship that I made was too complex to be exported to 3ds format. I solved out this problem by reducing details of ship and now I can wiew it in Milkshape.
So to get to te point my question is how big wireframe can be (in kb) so that model can work without a glitch in FL

This is last one for a while, i promise…
Cloaking NPC tests -
Recently, i have been working on tests with the mod and multi-player to see what works and fits in with the idea.
So i started with a vanilla server (Astrodome V0.01 on the list) and added new starting templates, unlocked gates/holes etc… for players to have a new experience without actually have to download any mods.
After editing npc and base weaponry the server started feeling much better and the population started growing.
After finally getting some of the single-player factions added into the mix i started remembering the fun i had with the mission scripts and decided to give Multi-player mission scripts another go…So far the results are great!, added two dockable base’s into the Newyork system which the players have been docking and interacting with, lots of other objects and single-player npc with no mods needed by the player at all… Anyways…
The vanilla server has got me hooked, so my work on the main mod of this topic will be on hold for a while.
