All textures in those planet txm files are in DDS format. You have to convert it to get TGA. If you plan to change them, you should keep DDS files, since they are compressed any easier to handle for the game.

oh, it’s already in dds format. gotta get a better dds viewer. my current dds viewer doesn’t like FL’s dds somehow. thought it was something else.

Is there any way to get planet ground textures from freelancer easily in TGA format?
txm doesn’t seem to have anything interesting or probably i have to assemble it manually? i don’t get how planet textures works .-.

how about just shadows and dynamic lights with singleplayer enabled?
I’ve tried it on mp and it works okay-ish

[d]except if I start the cruise engines which crashes the flserver probably because some differences on freeworlds cruise engine stuff.[/d]
EDIT : installing flhook makes cruise works fine.

@Zyos use ENB dx8 to dx9 first before inserting sweetfx, or you can also try http://reshade.me/ as it already has dx8 built in and has quite alot more features and shaderpacks than sweetfx. also theres no depth access so don’t expect dof and ao to work correctly.
also about your topic up there, I think nowadays as long as theres shadows and shiny dynamic lighting when firing weapons and/or on every lights then graphics is good.

Just putted every lights as dynamic light and DX9 hook from FW TOW.



However I can’t get proper cone headlight, how to make a cone headlight? The light seems didn’t show up if lightsource_cone below 180.

Already checked on my router, it’s off too.
UPDATE : It’s now working, it was UPnP. Freelancer thought that the router didn’t forwarded the port so the game port forwarded again via UPnP and conflict happens.

Tried fldirectip, GLS Workaround, or manually edit freelancer.ini to gun.fllistserver.com. None of the works.

I’m having issues with Multiplayer in Freelancer, I can’t connect to any server (except local server) and every server showing up 0 players even it’s not 0 players in in flserver.de and ??? ping.

I’m using Windows 8 and Windows XP (ipv6 disabled and firewall disabled on both OS), and the problem occurs in both OS. My Internet is shared through wifi, I tried to port forward all my ports and DMZ’d my local IP but still can’t connect to any server.

Any idea why?

@Sizer:

But is works in the demo anyway, maybe need some special texture or something?

Maybe.

All we need to do for fully working DX9 hook for vanilla is Wait :P. I wonder if anyone gonna make mipmaps for vanilla.

The hook from our demo WILL NOT WORK properly with vanilla FL. It is not a finished product, it is incomplete and rather unoptimized. As such, it was never meant to work without the demo. We will be releasing a vanilla upgrade once we’re finished, but we’re not there yet. We will not support any attempts to extract our DX9 improvements from any WIP version of FW:TOW, and take a somewhat negative view of such attempts. Be patient, it’s coming.

Yeah, I know there’s wont be any support for the hook other than FW TOW itself until you released the vanilla ones, I just can’t wait for the unlimited dynamic light to play with rather than playing with limited vanilla lights (as the FW TOW demo server itself is down, I can’t play with those fancy lights.) and that’s why I post it on the Spam Board.

And a Question, if there is 2 suns on a system, will be there 2 shadows?

i need it it’s very cool i need it so much

Download Freeworlds: Tides of War - Demo and Install it
Patch it to Update 4
Copy and paste the Launcher.exe from FW TOW (located in /EXE/launcher.exe) to Vanilla Freelancer BIN folder
Copy and paste the Hook DLL files from FW TOW (located in /EXE/fw_tow_chook.dll) to Vanilla Freelancer BIN folder
Put the DLL name (fw_tow_chook.dll) on dacom.ini
Copy and paste this folder /DATA/shaders in FW TOW to Vanilla
Put mods that include Lighting mods like “FL Weapons Light mod v1” or you can do it yourself as Dynamic Lighting limit is now gone.
Open launcher.exe, set it up at your own wish and play
Due to FW TOW HOOK disabling SinglePlayer, you may need to start flserver and join your local server

Do not enable distortion, it will make everything black.

Everything is Transparent!



Now anyone know Headlight mod?
