Whilst I hope your plan works, I’d love to see people like LS get their hands on the FL source code, I don’t think Microsoft will release it because they used programs without giving credit within freelancer, and I assume they don’t want to have law suits filed against them, at least that’s what I’ve been told. I personally do not know :).

How you know you don’t have any, if you don’t use any?

Teatimer is from Spybot if i’m right?
Spybot works okay, but it’s not working against a virus. It’s for spam trojans etc.

Actually teatimer asks permission for any registry changes, so it’s quite easy to spot a virus if one does try to get into the system. I still do regular check ups, every month or two, good computer health and all, the only thing I get that’s flagged between the AV and AS software I have is tracking cookies.

Had a go with the tool,just to give you an idea of how well it works, here’s a nice little piccy :

Thank you so much LS!

P.S It’s good to be back :).

Thankyou for the quick reply, sorry if it was an annoying question lol.

Is there a ‘mark all topics as read’ button because I can’t find it, and I’d rather not have the forum tell me that every category has a new post, especially when it’s saying said new post was posted in 2008. Likewise I don’t want to go through 58 pages of history, open every post, so the forum will tell me there aren’t any new posts >.<.

I likey

This is similar to the whole Cold void situation again. I think we should stop this RIGHT now, or at least take it to PM’s, this guy has asked a question and it’s starting to turn into a Flame war, what is the point of it?

Anyway, would it be possible to store the ship ‘garage’ client side, and use say a .*FL file to store the data, much like in SP to load a game. Then there’s the issue of cheating, which I suppose you could use a hashcode or something like that to see if the file has been changed whist the character hasn’t be connected to the server, if it has then delete the character…

Well these are my favourites:

Most of the bloom was done in Garry’s mod, with some extra diffuse glow being added in some of the pictures. I use poster edges are some of them.

It might not look dodgy, but if the code has been tampered with, and the virus code injected directly into the source code. I’m not sure if FLMM is open source, and I assume you’d be able to do such a thing, with the right know how.

Do a full system deep scan with everything. Chances are it’ll still be there, although it may have migrated to a removable drive. Delete system restore values. Anything which has a snapshot of the system. Purge the registry manually by deleting or changing keys relating to the file. I doubt it will be the last you see of that. And for god sakes make a backup of everything important!. If it’s a self replicating worm, it’s best to burn to DVD opposed to backing up on removable drives, only keep things you NEED, there is no point keeping backup’s of games. Then do a high level format on the hard disk. Trust me, a self replicating trojan horse/worm will be the least of your worries, chances are it’ll allow other malicious software to install such as rootkits, key loggers and the likes of them. Call me paranoid, but I’d rather be safe than sorry. I like to run a clean computer

@Dark Angel:
Don’t switch the statements. You know what you have posted and it was clear whom you meant. If not i guess you does not meant the TSP Hence i thank you for naming me moron - i really appreciate it

I actually think both sides of the arguments are fanboys and morons, not everyone but some. So I’d reserve your assumptions.

@OPR8R:

• if you guys including admins swear, insult, offend and break tons of TSP forum rules then it is ok
• if people from my community come here they get called fanboys and whatever being blamed to post here and defend their own community

Assumption much? As I’m the only one who posted any mention of fanboys, not referring to anyone in particular. You yourself have you just called your own community fanboys.

Yeah, like I said before, there are morons and fanboys here. But apart from that the vast majority of people aren’t like that.

@ others, two words : Grow up.

@Jammi:

'Lo, I’m Jammi from the Discovery mod. If you’ve been over there you’ve probably spotted me at some time or other. I just thought it’d probably be a good idea to come on over here to see what was going on!

Aside from that I’ve got a dream of creating a total conversion Starlancer mod for Freelancer - I’ve no idea whether this has been done before, and I most certainly don’t have the skills to do it yet, but I’ll be learning and looking for help! You can get anything done with persistence and dedication, right?

Well, hopefully it’s as good here as people say. I’m sure you guys are just great.

Hello Jammi, you’ll have to excuse the fact that some people here are morons and some are fanboys.
I personally would love to see a starlancer mod for freelancer, as I never really did get used to not use the mouse in starlancer. I hope you do well in your endeavours,

I personally can’t be bothered to watch another flame war commence.
So Swat, they weren’t flaming you, it’s called having a joke.
Although it shouldn’t really have been said, again it was meant as a joke.
Can someone lock this before hell breaks loose please.

A hell of a lot of pagefile on lowest settings?

@Dark_Angel:

I was wondering, why would something work on windows but not linux, is it due to the way data is processed, or is it due to the way the files are complied, or is it to do with the source code of the platform you’re working on, if that’s the case, why?

For regular applications it’s due to using Windows API calls. Wine attempts to provide a bridge between the Windows API and the Unix API. For Windows games the situation is more complicated. Games on Windows usually use DirectX, which is a Microsoft-specific technology. Native Linux games have to use OpenGL, since that’s the only 3D graphics API supported. Wine also attempts to provide a bridge between DirectX and OpenGL.

Thankyou for that :), I know a little more about what I possibly would like to be doing.

Now I’m not as good as some people here, but I’m going to try and get this right, although I probably wont, and as I haven’t used sketchup in ages almost a year and a half so this is assuming the basics haven’t changed since I used it last.
Now I don’t know without seeing the poly count for the models and such, but I’m 80% sure you wont be able to use them in Freelancer.
Sketchup has this horrible idea of creating both sides of the shape the you make. As in it counts both faces. So instead of a cube having 6 faces it will have 12, but because Freelancer works in triangles, you have 24 triangles to process, half of which you will not see, now that might not sound much. But if you’ve got a model with 700 faces, assuming all these are infact rectangular faces, you’ve now got 1400 faces and 2800 triangles to render, it becomes a lot more nasty if you use other primitives other than the cube as a sphere with 16 segments has 32 triangular faces and 192 square faces, and because Freelancer uses triangles, that’s 416 triangles that have to be processed, and that’s just for one sphere. The thing is while you can easily have hundreds of spheres on screen in google sketchup or 3ds max, or Maya, whatever modelling program you use, these are often upto date, optimized engines. Freelancer is an old game, and can’t do all these brilliant optimizations and such, combined with the all not to reliable CMP and SUR files it can be an arse.
However, and this is a hell of a big however, it’s not impossible, you CAN get google sketchup files into freelancer, I’ve done it, it just requires a little bit of tweaking in something like 3ds max, where you make the model super huge an get inside of the model, and because the faces are drawn you can just, ignore back faces, and delete each face of the inside, it’s long winded, and there are probably quicker ways to do it, but that’s how I did it, once upon a time, just make sure you don’t delete the other side of the face, as you’ll have a hole you don’t want :).
