[Freelancer Coding News]Dramatic Graphic Improvements for Freelancer!

just a question: do you still use DX’s forward renderer or it is some sort of custom deffered one? As huge battles will have it’s impact on rendering speed I guess.

got my vote but its not going to help, alot of the good servers are going down, i think its simply no matter what you do its still freelancer
its a pity wee didnt just have a engine and built it up from that

The distortion is unreal, so much epic in one FL video, oh my gods…

Makes you want to giggle like a little girl doesn’t it. I’m pissed off with all these teasers now though, I want to play star wars damnit!

Sry for the rather short comment:

WANT

How is this for Freelancer…

Untill you relase it for all of us… it’s… just for SW

shove it, im sick of waitng for this, being teased for years now… enough. i dont vare about that mod… i dont mod that mod, i mod freelancer… and this, untill you give it up… is just for you

F’ckn quit it, i was exited at first… many moons ago, now most of us feel teased, depresed and overly jaded by this “thing” you have that you wont share.

Really? It has been said THE ENTIRE TIME When its released, it will be availible to EVERYONE. Screw you if you dont have the patience to wait for something that youll get FOR NOTHING. Balls to you sir.

In fairness to Xarian, most of us not involved with the FW:TOW project do feel a little frustrated that the dx9 conversion has existed for what must be getting on a couple of years or something now, yet none of us can play with it. Who wouldn’t be when we can see the obvious benefits of it. Xarian just flipped that’s all, his meds can no longer compensate for his desire for that which he can see, but can’t have

I guess the real story here is that the mod has taken you guys a lot longer to produce than was anticipated, we all had our hopes up for christmas last year, and in many ways we were not just hoping to play the mod, we were also looking forward to seeing it work on vanilla fl shortly afterwards.

Personally, as frustrating as I find it too, I still vote for you on moddb, because all bs aside, it’s impressive work and has to be recognised as such. Well done to you all, now hurry up!

What you’re saying is that we should have said we’d keep it for ourselves, or what? Nobody is entitled to anything we’re doing.

Funny that when Freelancer took years more than anticipated, people just salivated and waited patiently. I don’t recall people throwing their toys out of the pram because obviously they were purposefully delaying all of this.

I mean fuck, these things take inordinate amounts of time. This is one of those cases where I’d say shut up if you don’t know what you’re talking about. You should be happy to know you’ll get it at all, happy the entire thing merely exists.

It’s infuriating just how entitled people can be. Shadow mapping took me a MONTH to get right, and that’s just one small piece. And now you mean to tell me you not only want it, but you also want it NOW? Screw you. You’re not paying me, you’re not even helping me.

This will be done when it’s done. We’re close, but we’re not there yet. I can’t believe I’m having to write all of this.

If you need a hand, just send me the files and i’ll see what i can do (only joking)

Seriously, Great looking as always guys, keep up the good work. It is horrible having to wait with our tongues hanging out but i totally get that you want it finished or “ready” and dont want to release something your not happy with.

thumbs up here,

Khayman.

…. once more … I can’t resist:

I bet Xarians mod is much longer in beta or alpha status,
than this baby here.

Sorry Xarian, but i HAD 2 do this, something forced me ……

It’s free, it’s nice

• and no one earns an angry comment,
  cause it takes a little more time, than you d expect.
  

I well know the feeling of waiting overlong for something you want. If it reassures you, know that I too am tired of waiting for the mod to be released, if only so that I can stop having all that pressure and can move on to other things

You tit! You know I respect you and everyone else in your team. You can stomp up and down on me as much as you want, I’m too old for it FF, and I’m all out of medals sorry. Merely expressing an opinion in a light hearted way as usual, up to you how you take it.

This is going too far. Please drop this argument now everyone.

Agreed.

We’re trying to get the mod as fast as we can. Unfortunately, we all lead busy lives and this hobby is just that, a hobby.

We have spent thousands of hours on this mod (just check our work logs) and finally the mod is getting close. The DX9 will come for all but we ask for patience and a bit of support.

Sometimes its good if you dont need to wait. It gives you more freedom

Furthermore i dont understand why everyone is waiting for it. Even if it would be released its not that all of the graphics are converted automatically. I think you need to add a bunch of work to get all the different textures ready to show the different mappings, add effects and and and…

Finally i think a release is ready when all the work is done. And the team wants to release it. Dunno but this question always reappears like a boomerang once in a while

There is no argument, never was. Something I said seems to have been taken the wrong way, and seeing as I’m not too big for it, I’ll apologise if I accidently offended anyone.

Looking forward to playing your mod guys, whenever that might be, and I’ve voted as many times as I can to show my appreciation for your efforts. Keep up the good work!
