  • Comments for reducing BS cargo change in CF 1.9

    The thing with human beings is, even if they have everything they want, they want more. It's such a common phenomenon.


    What is actually the problem I wonder, why people ask and ask for more and more, even though there has been done a lot? Is it maybe because the extend of the mod makes the game appear like a
    game that "has" to fullfill certain requirements? Because I don't think it has to. Freelancer as a game was limited from the beginning in aspects of Multiplayer. There were simple task you could do, but nothing really worth achieving, worth spending hours upon. Crossfire, like many other mods, did a lot of pioneer work in this area, that has to be RESPECTED. Just because there are many mods out there doesn't mean the achievments and contents of one doesn't matter anymore. I mean, dude, it's 2011 and we're still playin' a game from 2003 or earlier, seriously, common.


    I loved Freelancers SP and now, for the first time there is a real chance that we will get an SP part of Freelancer, that continues this great story with a rich universe, that was created during the years of its creation. If it was for me, I would SELL it as an Addon, not just offering it for free, but that's what we are getting, and awesome extension to the game we all love so much, for free.


    So why piss off the one guy, that sacrifices so much time for a huge entairtainment experience for all Freelancer lovers? If you do have something to contribute, do it in a civilized manner. I mean you don't walk up to an Artist and say, that HAS to be like that, not like this. You don't walk to a programmer and say, no you have to code it like this, not like that.


    Our part as a community is to tell the OP what and how we would like to have it, and the OP will try to fullfill those wishes, but you can't do things that ain't doable, from outside it's always simple to judge, to say "it's not that much, just that and that". I mean modding must be a f****** intensive and time consuming entreprise, I myself can't imagine how much workload there was and will be when thinking about all those textures, models, graphical enhancements, balancing works etc. I mean just from my point as someone who has dealt at a low-level with things such as these I can imagine how much effort went into this mod.


    So don't forget, you as the community do have the right to contribute your thoughts when asked for, even if means reporting bugs and other issues, but you don't have any privilege to ask for things, especially if you are not invovled in the modding process.


    Bitte bring Crossfire 1.9 mit neuer SP raus, egal wie lange es dauert, FL ist das einzige Sci-Fi game das ich überhaupt spielen vermag und wenn die Story endlich mal auf eine Weise enden könnte, würde das für sehr viele glaube ich viel bedeuten.


    You do a great job OP.

  • Worst threat to human kind: Lagg, Bugs and mini particles that make my transporter filp

    Well I gathered some data


    PING LOSS FLUCT
    51 0 2
    54 0 2
    50 0 3
    56 0 2
    53 0 4
    50 0 2


    dunno what's that supposed to mean, the only programms I have running in the background are Avira Antivirus,Adobe Bridge, Daemon Tools. When I'm speaking of a slow down I mean more a sort of wiggle all around where I look , especially at areas with lots of graphical elements.


    The System is Win 7 64bit.


    Checked today the issue with the train again, still there and right now, I can only go from Planet to Planet with the Scouser from Earth. It's not that I'm getting a denial, I'm getting to the very part, where the cinematic sequence starts when docking in generall. It's just that in that mode, it keeps ramming the station instead of changing to the "inside" view. It's not like I only tried once, I tried it about for an hour, and at various other stations, too. Same result.


    The asteroid problem isn't that bothering, even though it sucks hard sometimes. i wonder if it isn't possible to just remove asteroids around jumpgates? Rather than finding a solution, just avoiding it. I'm not sure if it is only a FL engine problem for that matter too, because I know of other players playing Discovery FL who don't have such problems with trains.(so they claim at least).


    I think i may have activated that shader you were talking about during installation, if it were only causing graphical slow downs, I can live with it, but if you say it also affects data transmission, thus causing lagg, I may reinstall it without that option.

  • Worst threat to human kind: Lagg, Bugs and mini particles that make my transporter filp

    I have few question regarding the 1.82 version of Crossfire in MP:


    - Why in the name of God am I lagging this much?(even when my ping is around 40 - 60)
    - Why can I dock at stations at some time and at another time my ship just keeps crashing into the station in video mode(docking)?
    - Why are little asteroids making my transporter flip like crazy?
    - Why do enemy ships behave like quantum particles? (appearing and disappearing in space)
    - Why is the game slowing down at some points in space?(My Rig is quiet intensive, Intel i7 CPU Hexagon, 3.4 GHZ each, Ati Radeon 5800 HD 2GB Ram videocard, 16 GB Ram, 64bit, and about 3 Terrabyte harddisk space, with one being a 10'000 RPM one, I doubt it's because of that)


    I do love the extend of the Mod, but these things ruin it really everytime I play it. Especially the NPC issue drove me crazy in the beginning. Because it's one thing the recharge with Nanobots and Shieldbatteries(I actually love this, it's more realistic this way) and another that they don't move in the same time-space as I do. Another thing is the Asteroids issue, I once had to make 10x360° roations to just jump to another systems,because of water particles.


    I was wondering if these issues are beeing adressed for 1.9 or if it is just an issue of wrong settings on my pc.


    thx

  • List of wishes in 1.9

    I don't know if I'm the first one to throw it out, but where are these factions? Israel and Turkey are the major powers in the middle east, not the Arab states and additionally Turkey has the biggest army after the US in the NATO and also has strong connections to the other turkic states. Israel is supposed to possess nuclear weaponry and a fairly strong army, too. It's not that I want them no matter what, but it seems to me to be more logical that these states played not a minor role during the Alliance-Coalition wars, I don't know who on which side, but I can't imagine the scenario without them tbh. I see that within the 1.82 in Crossfire there are now several arabic and chinese systems within the Coalition domain, which I find nice, but I think there should be also systems like Yeni Istanbul, New Karabagh, Jerusalem 2.0 , Antiochia, Ankara and others symbolizing these nations, dunno if within Coalition or Alliance domain or even apart of these.


    What do you think of this? Especially the Turks(Turkey) played a major role during the history of the Middle East and Europe, there are over 4 Million Turks living in Germany today and more do live all over the world, yet there is not a single reference to them(yes, the ones within the Russians don't count as such, as their role is minor compared to the Turkey Turks in that region).


    Don't know, I was just wondering, what your opinion on this subject is, I would be willing to create everything related to them, if necessary.

  • Crossfire 1.8 screenshots

    lol, aren't those ships above from Spaceforce 2? They look awesome, do you also put some ships from Stargate Episodes, Battlestar etc. like discovery did?


    And more BS!! plz! :) good work, really.

  • Crossfire 1.8 screenshots

    Hi Swat-Team,


    you're doing a great job, I'm appreceating your mod a lot.
    But I'd have a small demand on you. I read on an official site that the Coallition is made up by the Arab States, China and Russia( as leader ). Can't you somehow mention that? Just for identification you know, like if I was german that I would be happy to play with Rheinland things.


    I think it wouldn't be that big job, just a little change in the story text.


    thx for the mod and good luck with v.1.8.

  • Fire button: Can't "use" it!

    Hi guys,


    I installed the Crossfire MoD and wanted to play the SP. Then I had to realise that pushing Mouse 2 button didn't make the guns fire. I tried to reset the Fire Button with Mouse 2. Didn't help. So I tried it also with resetting it to Mouse 1. Same. I even tried to reset it to a alphabet on the keyboard. It doesn't help. It doesn't want to fire by the "Fire Button".


    I can't use this "preference". Any help would be really great. I really want to head over to sol systems, but without being able to fire, ... it's no fun.


    Besides, in Crossfire, does the Story continue after you have finished the "orginial Freelancer SP" ? Like you have to go to sol sytem and do this and that?



    Thx for your help, thx in advance.
