  • THe Best SHip???

    Bah...the Shroud is simply the most popular ship on the server because it has decent stats and it's close to home. I've spent the past several hours flying ships in the Altair sector, and there are several designs in that area that can match the Shroud in agility, armor, and weaponry. Styling, however, is another issue altogether. And as for it's hitbox (size) I usually don't have any issues hitting the Shroud with my guns. My personal favorite ship? Well, you'll just have to wait and see. No, it's not the Terror. I'm swapping that out for something else later on this evening.

  • Want some oldschool ?

    My computer can handle recording with FRAPS but I don't know if my GFX card can handle the advanced shaders option. Oh, and I've made a title title animation in Jashakra. It's pretty basic and I can't get it to save for some reason, but it's a start.

  • Viruses

    There is most likely an option somewhere in the software that allows it to automatically delete any files that it deems a threat to the safety of the computer, and that's probably why it deleted everything. This is actually a common option in many different AV programs, as it saves the user from having to delete an infected file themselves whenever they find one (unless it can't be deleted, but that's another issue entirely).


    Just reinstall everything in this order:


    Freelancer Mod Manager -> Crossfire 1.8 (Only install to the FLMM directory, DO NOT ACTIVATE YET) -> Freelancer


    Once this is done, add the entire FL directory to your exceptions list in Avast, and then activate the mod.

  • Screen Capture Software

    I'm planning on trying to make a new promotional vid for 1.81, and I need some help. I need suggestions for some good screen capture software that won't bog down my system while I'm recording, or produce files of obscene sizes. Oh, and it has to be freeware. I'm currently searching Google and around the internet, but I thought I would post here in case anyone knew a program that I might not be able to find through online search engines.



    And yes, I know that I'll have to reinstall the mod with the "screen capture" option turned on in order for this to work, which is what I'll most likely be doing for the next hour or so, besides looking for some software.

  • Viruses

    Move the entire Freelancer directory or path to the exceptions list in your anti virus software. This should keep your AV software from thinking that Crossfire has viruses or is a virus itself. It's a rather common issue, and it's being worked on.

    Most of the professional AV have no problem with CF, just the free crap like McAfee and few others... even if you have one of those AVs, you can still play CF after you put it all as exception...<br>
    And Windows Movie Maker can also do some combining :P

    Have you seen this one ? ^^<br>
    Also, for when you want to make some records in the game, I have a fixed up file which makes yoru screen be clear of any hud panels, you only see the energy and life bar down there... think you can move that part too but not sure :D


    PS: CFPD is keeping the memory of Shroud now ^^

    I watched that on the ModDB download page, and I wasn't particularly impressed. No offense to whoever made it, but it didn't make me think "OMFG I HAVE to play this mod now!!!" Which is what we're going to need our video to do in order to draw in new players, after the AV issue is fixed, if it can even be fixed.

  • Want some oldschool ?

    I'd love to make both of those vids, but the software is expensive as hell...I don't know. When (or if) the modders get the anti virus glitch fixed I and a couple others could work on that to help bring more players to Crossfire. That's the only way I'd illegally download the software needed to make a video that would meet my standards, which are high. And then there's the music, which might be expensive (use a track from a music site).

    Seen it somewhere else too, still, it looks like a movie trailer :S

    Also by BG ^^


    I remember that video. That's some pure fun right there. :thumbup: I should really think about investing in some software like Adobe Premier, I really love editing and composing vids for some reason, I don't know why. My true passion is Photography, though.

  • Greetings and first MP experience

    Quote from SA_ARROW

    the real story starts from X in fact and when you read the news you see the hint leading your to the "/&$? Lair" System, then you go there and look for Death Valley.... It never really was in nephele, only that Nephele was easy to find without seeign the quest init first ^^

    Oh yes, I remember that now. I spent many days looking in that jump gate in whatever sector it was. I must have looked through 20 systems before I gave up and asked someone where Death Valley was, so I can understand OP why you made them more obvious. Less frustration on the part of the player, but also less satisfaction on the part of the player when they do finish that quest. But IMO, the change is worth it.

  • What are the Pro & cons of being in a clan?

    Quote from AbrasDevil

    well..
    pro of NOT being in a clan is:


    you can still be friend with everyone on the server (clan-member or not) and you dont have to worry about enemies (unless you prefer to jump into a huge pile of trouble, on purpose)

    You can be in a clan on this server and be friends with members of opposing clans. It's not like we hate each other simply because of our opposing RP, that's just stupid. Even though you may not interact with the opposing clan members as much as you would with friendly clans, you can still be friends with them anyways. This is a multiplayer game after all, and one of the reasons that people play MP games is to meet people and make friends online (though the community has had it's rough spots in the past). It's simply part of the modern digital age that we live in. And as for not having to worry about enemies, that's not entirely true either. If you piss off a clan member, they can very easily issue a KOS (Kill On Sight) for you or simply place a bounty on your head, and that's much worse than if another Freelancer decides to place a bounty on your head. Or, someone may simply decide that they don't like you and hunt you down because you said the wrong thing to them, or they may not have any reason at all. You never know who you're going to meet online, which is why you should choose your words carefully when interacting with players that you don't know.


    I just wanted to clear up that point for you, I didn't mean to go off on a wild tangent. :thumbsup:
