I have considered abandoning the source or moving to something like mono, however this project started as an XNA project, it should end as one, also there’s really little need to move to another framework

• XNA Works in Visual Studio 2015
• XNA Works in Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 7, Windows Phone
• XNA provides a robust 3d framework which you can use with C#

These are for me the three points which truely matter to me, I will likely not make any new projects in XNA, however this project started in 2010, that is why the choice for XNA, at that time, XNA was still alive.

Hello,

I am developing a clone of Freelancer, called Roguelancer. I have been at it for quite some time, and I’m looking for help.

I am developing the game in C#/XNA and I would say it’s 20-30% completed.

I would love to tell you anything you like to know about the project, I host the source code on github …

Thanks in advance

I have a github project here…

https://github.com/guideX/rougelancer

It’s further along than before, but I obviously have a long ways to go.

I put the source code here in case anyone wants to help me with it…

I am having trouble emulating the freelancer mouse rotation, as well as the free flight/mouse flight modes, as well as things like engine glow and a whole bunch of other issues. You’ll need Visual Studio 2010 with XNA

You were right, it was something in the code causing it, good call. The .X files come out just fine

I’ll check that out, could be a code problem. Also looks slightly better after upgrading to 1.8.5 beta 1, but still not perfect.

It would appear that my fbx file exporter is junk, or that I don’t know how to use it properly, it doesn’t export any of the textures. The .x exporter does, however it seems to leave certain peices of the texture of the model out even though it looks perfect in milkshape. Neither one appear to be perfect.

A friend of mine had this before, he never solved it, and ended redoing his campaign.

Does anyone know why my model looks like that when I convert from the freelancer cmp to a ms3d file to a fbx file? I did use milkshape 1.6.6 with the mscmp import dll, I think i’m loosing the texture along the way

I have made an exe file which when ran is like a standalone freelancer game all its own, but it’s not done yet, only in beginning stages.

I think Microsoft games probably has a list of game ideas on some chalkboard at somewhere, and then there’s the accompanying printed documents regaurding the freelancer sequel which was scrapped sitting in a gray cabinate at someones cubicle which has been handed down from Department to Department, as well as the accompanying files for the source code sitting in a mapped drive like this …

So I’ve been building my own Freelancer binary in XNA, here’s a (very) short video showcasing my progress, it just shows simple ship rotation using the mouse from one of the borderworlds ships from original Freelancer and a PT from Discovery Freelancer neither ship has a skin on it, I also have a heap of “Freelancer API” teaching it what a ship is, a jump gate, a planet, etc. and teaching it all the properties and such for each object.

I tried to upload via this message, but I couldn’t get the video small enough …
