I want to help!

  • Hey! I just started playing crossfire this week, and I'm enjoying it immensely. I was a big fan of starlancer (I still play that game sometimes, when I can find my joystick!), and I recently docked in x-3 and found the reliant, which I may have to purchase sometime just so I can run it into an asteroid and pretend it's a coalition carrier.


    I'm not a computer programmer, but I do have linguistic skills with ENGLISH and SPANISH. So, if I can help with some of the ship/station/object descriptions, or anything like that, I'd love to. I don't want to offend anyone who made this amazing mod but I could help:


    1) correct grammatically incorrect descriptions of:
    a) ships
    b) wrecks
    c) other objects
    2) add unique descriptions for some ships (all the starlancer ship descriptions are the same!)
    3) add unique descriptions for some wrecks (many just say "xxxx wreck", and those 2 battleships in oasis both need some correcting/additions)


    Is there someone to whom I could send corrected versions of these descriptions? I'd just do it whenever I found an object.


    I think that a small thing like this is important in adding polish to the mod, and helps keep the pilot immersed in the game. Much like reading a book and coming across an error, an error in the game's language can make the user aware that it's just a game, and not a world in itself.


    Thanks for reading! Again great mod!

    Only dead fish swim with the stream.
    Don't discuss with idiots. They only drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience there.


    This is ten percent luck,
    Twenty percent skill,
    Fifteen percent concentrated power of will,
    Five percent pleasure,
    Fifty percent pain,
    And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!

  • First of all, welcome to the forum BorealisD.


    It is always great to see players that enjoy the mod, and are willing to offer some help to participate!

    I like you already, same here!


    See you in space hopefully :)

  • Sounds good OP, I'll send you a few tonight after I get home from work : )


    Edit: I sent them to your email on the forums, if that's all right. Most of the time I just rewrote, but I came up with a few original blurbs for wrecks and the Starlancer models. I'll send you some more tomorrow. I tried to stick as closely as I could to Starlancer and Freelancer lore for anything original I added.
