    The Genesis mod is an addon mod for Freelancer by Digital Anvil/Microsoft that works in Open Single Player or Multiplayer, putting you into the game just after the original campaign has finished.


    The mod adds many new features and is based around events just after the storyline finishes. With many new ships to fly, places to explore, items to trade in a simulated dynamic economy in singleplayer or multiplayer. Many new systems have been added plus other items of interest, plus a full visual enhancement of the game with HD textures and widescreen support.

    If you have any issues with this mod or wish to report a bug, click on the html link included with the mod and post on my forum, or feel free to post in the Genesis thread here at the portal as it is checked regularly :)

    Gibbon: can be created here on portal Gallery section with pics from your mod? ... some ss which I saw on MODB was rly awesome. And it can also give ppl much better idea what all you put together.

    :) You have two choices. First is use your personal gallery which you can access via your profile (and this is working without problem), or second is ask OP about creating new "Genesis" section here: index.php?page=Gallery2&g2_itemId=73# (... but I see there were removed access rights, so dunno how it can be used right now :( )




    And here is something for ppl who not visit Mod DB .. this video looks great :thumbup:

    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!

    As with a large project and a one man setup, (ME), nothing is perfect. A couple of tiny errors have surfaced, pointed out to me by one of my own forum members and with some simple editing, can be easily fixed. If you click on the hyperlink included with the mod that takes you to my forum, follow the simple instructions in the Genesis 1.0 bugs section, and the errors will go away.


    @R@F1


    I've been writing mods and making ship packs for years, but as anyone who knows me will tell you, i normally work on my own. That said, i've had a number of RL issues to deal with over the last year which means i haven't had time to deal with anything Freelancer related during that time. I wrote Genesis over a year ago and been sitting on it all this time. OP knows if he needs help with anything, he only has to ask, but to become a full time member of the team is unlikely due to my current RL situation, which while steady is hardly settled.

    Moved to Freelancer News (sry forget do it earlier), now thread appear also here on Portal page.

    Good work! Good to see that the test is performed after the work is done! I have been playing with it, and I want to play multiplayer with it as well. I hope this can become a reality as soon as possible!
    I really like the enlarged planets, ships and planets in the elaboration of the lighting systems. Good luck to the mod.

    Glad you like the mod. Don't forget there are four little fixes worth applying which are in the Genesis bugs thread on my forum, really simple to apply and help a lot with stability. I've included downloads for all four files, simply follow the instructions and replace those that came with the mod with the new ones i've done :)

    I have played your mod for 16 hours or so. Great stuff! can you convert it to a multi player format? Not related to your MOD but a issue with crossfire mod became corrupted while attempting to switch mods in flmm. Had to reload everything. Wish crossfire was more robust and able to handle activation/deactivation process.

    Well the good news for those wondering about a multiplayer version is that it's almost ready. Everytime i think i'll release it i find something to fix, but it really isn't far off now. I'll also release a new version of the OSP version as well which will have all the fixes from the MP version that apply to the OSP version. The MP version will include various features including player banking, cloaks, custom join messages, gender recognition and many other features :)

    Good news then, and let's see how you can make female players work, as in having the female aspect and voice on the server.

    Yes, that always happens, some fix, or little improvement here and there :) So it's normal.
