hmmm I've not tried it...

Some of these pictures are the most amazing digital art I have seen since I downloaded a lot of Craig Mullins stuff.

*saves all to desktop*

So how would one go about extracting the soundtracks from his/hers FLCF directory?... So as to listen to them outside the game. (If that sounds a bit more legal)

I am gonna have a look in the game folders for them anyway...

Ok I decided to call my smugglers clan: 'The Runners' (the name says it all)

Thnx to GrandAndreask for an early morning chat and helping me decide on a name, As there are no members as of yet I will ask for friends to point would-be smugglers in my direction.

I will create the new characters soon as possible and join in some PvP to sharpen my evasive manoeuvring skills and don't forget to RP with me if you spot me in your system and want to have some fun

Greetings!

I quickly went on a currency converter online and found the British Pound is 1 = 45! RUR... but I have very little idea of what that means... never been abroad, and to be honest of the few countries I would love to see, Russia would be one of them... not sure which part of Russia though (Mosko for sure) Germany and France I would also love to travel...

hehe can't wait to get my train on my Nostromo acount! I will be the SPACE HULK of the SKY!

I have also been realising the only problems with games I have had are AUDIO caused... like in Stalker shadow of chernobyl I have random short freezes just before you hear certain sounds, dogs barking, giger counter... wierd... must try changing some settings or trying out a sound card...

and have not yet found anything better than Freelancer. i would love to hear a good suggestion!

Freelancer 2!!!!

From what I gather there is no OFFICIAL Smuggler clan so once I have my bearings again in CF I will be forming one I am not sure what to call it. I know that I want it to be a neutral clan, selling there services to anyone. The smugglers I had in mind could consist of people who don't necessarily want to go around fighting other clans and would have just as much fun running from police and selling our wares to the highest bidder!

I already know the Clans Motto: "Be hard to find, be harder to catch!"

haha "wait a minute"

I would simply love it if the ships from Cowboy Bebop got added! I mean if there was ONE film/series that would deserve having it's space fighters and ships made real in freelancer it would be Cowboy Bebop! The series is practically BASED on FL if not the other way round (it's an oldish Animation)

Well I know more about Sound engineering to be honest more than I do about coding... don't know anything about meshes or models etc... I have only ever worked with in-game sounds and triggers etc...

If I was going to be of any help to a modder or team of modders it would be as a sound designer...

Asked my programmer friend about helping with modding FL and he plainly said he would rather spend his time making a mod for a game that WASN'T made before 2005 lol! He did say he could teach me how though...

How many people have been having problems with running Freelancer and/or Freelancer mod?

How many people have tried turning 3D sound off?

If you are having ANY problems with FL and you have not checked 3D sound OFF, TRY IT!

My friend had even started mucking about with drivers and fresh installs of windows XP before I came over and took one look at his FL game and turned this option off... what would you know the game works fine now...

He was getting blue screens and freezes but this fixed it!

Well it's just that I don't PvP... yet. Maybe Discovery would be better for me... they take ages to do anything sure but thats because they talk a lot of RP before fighting or doing something major...

Well I thought times had changed what with the people I heard asking for more smugglers and 1.8 coming out... but it seems I may as well avoid everyone ingame except for other smugglers lol

You guys don't seem to realise that not everyone on this mod has a a stash of 400 weapons, so in my case those weapons I did have were hard earned, alone no matter how "crap" they may be compared to DK weapons etc.

I also don't know where the bounty came from... I didn't notice something like that, it's never happened to me before...

I gotta ask now though after today, is there any point to playing this mod if you don't pvp?

Ok I am angry at 2 |PX| clan members, who I will not name drop (you know who you are) for blowing my character away even though I managed to call a parley with them. I ended up on a planet and they were waiting for me to undock and collect a bounty on my head (which I did not notice appearing there...) They came along guns blazing and I just managed to tell them to hold fire and dock with planet... I explained to them I was a smuggler char. and it would be profitable of them to allow me safe passage for some of my wares/creds... I had a bunch of guns on board I had spent a LONG time obtaining and had just been farming some nomad guns when they turned up...

So they seem to hear me out and we agree they would be given my guns, kill me for the reward and then give back the guns, I could only take there word... But the first instance I open the trade window I see I have something extra to trade over in my inventory, something that was not there on my ship as far as I knew, it was something like a 'civilian Power generator' or 'power plant' and I have never come across this situation before...

So I wanted to ASK these two |PX| people what this thing was, knowing them to be mature players who probably know EVERYTHING about CF. BUT NO! Instead in the middle of trading them my guns, as I am franticly typing in a messege they BLOW ME UP! comletely going back on there WORD and HONOUR!

I tried not to get angry but I told them they had just made an enemy for life if they did not plan on replacing my destroyed goods, so they agree to kit me out with some top guns, which is much appreciated... and probably more than makes up for the lost wares...

My main concern here is there is very little leeway for new players to get along in PvP/RP situations, I can't type in immediately "Hold your fire! I'm a smuggler and I may as well just GIVE you the bounty in cash now rather than destroy what is basically a roaming Caravan of trade-able goods!" I even had my smugglers licence mounted...

Does it mean anything to anyone the idea of engaging in CONVERSATION and not just in COMBAT? We are civilized space faring folk so where's the common courtesy of letting a guy explain himself OR ask a bloody question.

and last but not least: Don't be so trigger happy in future mercs! you might end up blowing up a smuggler! save that for the fuzz

Sorry? I don't really know what you are asking there...

This discussion ties nicely in with my ideas on balancing ships and weapons, it would be great to keep adding in ships, the more the merrier I say, would love to see a fight with 6 or more different types of ships involved... I hear discovery gets over those problems by a very simple system of " the bigger a ship the better the ship the more expensive the ship" and also with fewer choices... So it would be nice unique thing for CF to have the most ships (which it already does) but also the best balancing system for PvP!

I do have a fiend who does a lot of programming and code work... I was going to get him to teach me some basics or get him in on a mod for FL...

yeah I saw how those holo projectors worked... bit wierd to fly with one attached, wierder to engage someone with one active...

yeah thnx for link michael
