I love Mechwarrior so this is great news to me
Shame the free release is taking so long but it is lovely to see some new content from mektek out.

I think what bullwinkle means is that if you are interested in a ship you have found, it might be benficial to you to ask around (pm people) and see what their opinion is of that ship.

If yopu have a graphics card which is newer than the cards available at the time FL was created then for obvious reason they wont be recognised. My graphics card for example is an Nvidia GS 250 and i get that message but just ignore it because my graphics card is so new i know there is no problem.
On the otherhand if you have an older card than the recomended ones FL needs then you may have problems because the older card does not have enogh power to support the needs of FL. Hope this helps a bit. :>

Hey, I just found Crossfire the other day by accident I'm looking at making my own mod, was poking around for inspiration/ideas, saw screenies of CF and have, uh, decided I needed to "research" this mod Seriously, kudos to everybody who participated in this. I haven't had a chance to install yet, cause of work, but I'll be in-game shortly...

Anyway, the reason I post here is this. Aside from a few scattered servers, there is a dwindling number of people playing this game. I personally I'm looking for some way to attract more people to FL so we can all keep playing. Here's the thing, though.

There is a strong tendency around the FL community to "horde". This is not the easiest game in the world to mod, and many different people have come up with many different wonderful ideas. However, many of them have the attitude "this is MINE" and "we've built this from the ground up that's how it's gonna stay", etc, etc.

If society as a whole worked on these principles we'd have never left the stone age. Why does everyone have to reinvent the wheel everytime they want to do something? For example, I have NO EARTHLY IDEA how to do most the stuff y'all have done. I would be hard pressed to even figure out how you did it TO steal it But suppose I wanted to use some of those ideas, you expect ME to spend years researching and experimenting just because YOU did? How can anything progress at that rate?

I gathered the whole point of CrossFire was to demonstrate what FL was capable of, that it can still compete. What's the point of doing all this if you aren't going to let other people learn and use it, too? Most people are not outlandishly wonderful modelers, effects guys, coders, etc. If they are, it's usually only one of the above. If they can't use somebody else's stuff, at least in part, they probably are not going to be able to do much without a massive team of people with multiple talents.

And as someone mentioned earlier, what happens when you lose interest in CF? It ceases to progress? It gets pulled of the server and mod sites? Taken very far at all this attitude just becomes very selfish and stupid. It is a COMPLEMENT that some else was so impressed by your work that they wanted to include it in their project. I'd be delighted if someone did that for me.

And again, FL is slowly dying. And you're wanting to disrupt and drive off people? Even if some of them are assholes, I'm sure a lot of them are not. All you'll end up doing is stirring up a lot of shit and both sides look pathetic and juvenile.

I'm not defending the guys that stole your work, they sound like dickheads, they should at least credit that they got/learned from you. It does however sound like you're making a far bigger deal out of them than is necessary. They are a private click out there, playing alone, and you're worrying about them. Forget it and find something productive to do before you piss of their hackers.

If you're not careful, you'll attract MicroSoft's attention and they'll close ALL OF YOU down. Cause guess what, in relation to this game, virtually EVERYTHING YOU DO belongs to them. Even your original work, aside from graphics, much of the coding and modifying you did to the base game, that base game belongs to THEM, as none of this would work with any OTHER game, that means it, also, belongs to THEM.

You've put a tremendous amount of work into this project, all of you have, but seriously, WTF? Lighten up. This ain't the end of world, and at the very least it further promotes FL. That's a GOOD THING. Don't be tight asses.

So you think its good for people to benefit of your work?
Ok imagine this hypothetical situation, you create an amazing piece of art like a painting or somthing that people would pay a lot of money from, and some guy comes along, takes your painting and passes it off as their own and makes millions off of it.
Would you be happy that they are getting all the rewards off of your hard work? exactly.

The fact is OP and those who helped him created this mod with their own time and money. Of course theyre going to be protective of it, theyve put effort into something they dont expect to make any money off (excluding the clan system rent of course). And someone just takes it and tells OP to go fuck himself? wake up!!
Of course its ok for people to use others work as long as they ask and give the creators credit for it. But what is the point if you create something in your own time only to have some lazy shithead benefit off it because they cant be bothered to make it themselves.

Stereotypes

Yes they are, thats because 4chan is pretty much made up of racists and bigots who are too ignorant to learn about the world outside their computer screen. :p

AHAHAHA! Theyre such a bunch of waste of space faliures who fail at life. xD

The actual installation using FLMM took about 5 minutes for me, but im guessing that the installation time may be longer if you have an older pc.

when you start out with a starflier, it can be alittle difficult but it gets more managable when you get better ships. Of course CF is all about the challenge which makes sp more fun i think.

That is some amazing work =o

armoured core wasnt turn base, i think you are thinking of another game.

If there were a small pole with a traditional pirate flag on that we could attach to our ships... that would be win.

what happened

Get a huge donation going and buy the source code off of microsoft and then go mod crazy.

LP here.
we own Daedalus.
welcome to Crossfire

Id sure like to read it.
hope it goes well.

i dont mind you using LP tags if you decide to, and about info on the mod, if you have a play with the forums search engind then im sure you can find quite a lot of info on the mod, its development, the story and more.

gunny going on a payback trip?

site is back up, the last one was cancelled for some silly reason

...and welcome back

i support this.
