stfx my love, the new versions of FLMS are lovely, with FF’s modifications even moreso, but still one annoyance remains.

Would it be possible to have the solararch.ini location saved into the program in some manner? Perhaps simply by a line in the options menu. It’s extremely annoying to have to go back and select it for every system, especially when the system directories are not in the vanilla filestructure.

Thanks for your work on the program, it’s made system work so much easier!

It’s not terrible, but for some reason I just can’t get into it.

People always get mad when I put girls in my sig.

First of all, I’d like to wish you luck with the project. It’s truly an ambitious one, but if it succeeds I can see it becoming a great asset to the longevity of Freelancer.

I do have to say though, it’s hard to have faith in your ability to back up your claims. You’re asking for testers before even showing the community what you’ve achieved. Until you’ve reached an alpha or beta state, testing can generally be done internally by the creators.

You sound very confident of your abilities, which is great, but this is not the first time someone has come along and said ‘We are going to make the best thing for Freelancer since Juni’s butt’, and I’d wager you won’t be the last.

The Starport is home to many veteran modders (and so not to be accused of bias, I am certainly not one of them :P) who have done absolutely amazing things with the engine, but that didn’t come without a lot of work. And time. And probably tears.

What I’m getting at is, if you want to become more than every other group that has made similar claims in the past, I would suggest you knuckle down and get something done to show us. Pretty renders of models is not enough, give us something with substance, that tells us ‘These guys know what they’re doing’.

I don’t mean to sound nasty or whatever, I just want you to know it’s extremely hard to get excited about this sort of project, when we’ve seen so many of them before.

Avid user of FLS, it’s what I do all of my producing on!
Here’s a collection of tracks I’ve done inspired by Freelancer and other general space themes.:

EDIT: The latter two tracks are more what you’re probably expecting out of that link, Sendei and Senseki Station are both very experimental.

Oh hey look a thread on the Starport with OP posting in it, and suddenly everyone is at each other’s throats.

It is very unlikely, if you haven’t seen it around here or on ModDB.

If you’re running Hamachi, make sure to disable IPv6 on that connection too; it’s been a trouble-maker for me in the past.

I also notice nothing about multiplayer.

I believe this game is a remaking of Starlancer …… And I don’t like military things.

Multiplayer is mentioned quite explicitly, actually.

Been burnt way too many times by games like this, so I’m not exactly excited, but I am looking forward to seeing what comes of it.

I guess some devs aren’t willing to let their castles fall, Timmy.

Nice work as always adoxa, good to see sound getting a bit of love.

Very cool, Jeider!

Neb disappeared right after I pledged to become a modder… figures.

Sushi said he was going to upload them to the downloads section here, but that was probably over a year ago and I guess he never got around to it.

You’ll note Cannon posted before the forums went down.

There’s multiple different ones for different ships.
They’re pretty easy to find when you look.

I can’t help you on the main topic, but I’m fairly certain cshake’s web environment only made it easier for multiple people to do things. It doesn’t actually read or edit the dlls themselves, rather used FLDev’s format to make it very easy to put it all into one once changes are confirmed.

There’s very little in the way of linux-friendly tools for Freelancer, so far as I’ve seen in my time here, but good luck in your efforts.

Right, apologies for misunderstanding the question.

I’m not aware of any way to do it as you ask.

Well, it certainly did rather stop me from ever considering paying them, since I couldn’t play it at all due to said IP block.
