  • Crossfire 1.9 Features

    yes, it's called "TeamSpeak 2". OP would have to load it onto the SWAT Portal and allow users/clans to manage their own "rooms". then you could even have a main room for anyone to be in (i.e. Freelancers). this would be a very effective way of doing RP without having to get shot while typing your message. LOL!

  • Introducing InterStar

    Raxor, good luck with your merc clan. what system are you calling "home"? please register at the SFP forum and I'll make an "Ambassador's Office" for you to open a dialogue with my Clan Ambassador [SFP]Mellon a.k.a. "Bond".

    P.S. need help, don't hesitate to ask.

  • Change for bounty hunting

    if faced with multiple advesaries attempting to acquire one bounty, the best plan is to run until you are among friends that can assist. like Lucy said, if u manage to kill your aggressor, why would u stick around long enough to give them another chance? the smart thing is to run and try to connect with friends.


    we manage to do this quite successfully until our great plan fell apart and the merc got a lucky shot. the point is, DbrDbr was well protected by many police.


    although this "unwritten" rule makes sense to a point, it's my firm belief that the way we conduct RP is sufficient and we need to have better tactics in place to keep us alive long enough to get help or evade the mercs.

  • Solurus Systems New Hi-Speed Server + 1.175 Version Online

    Quote

    Download and run the program from HERE to install version 1.175. Use 'Install From Web'.


    Ok, tried today and was able to connect to TeamSpeak. When I tried to select the link from your post, I got to the digitalbrilliance website but it had a 404 error where the file is supposed to be.

    Edit: never mind. sometimes i can't help my own stupidity and my occasional hatred of Vista. i forgot to set the updater to run as administrator. all is right in the world!

  • Message rights

    well abuse of the system channel is not good and those involved should be dealt with but i would just like to point out that we cannot RP without system chat. it will be difficult to RP against a pirate in a system if i can't chat with them.


    i don't mean this as a joke or trying to instigate anything. i just wondered if not being able to conduct RP was taken under consideration before removing that feature. is there another way to communicate?

  • @ Mellon

    this has got to be the weirdest conversation i've wasted 5 minutes of my life reading. i've got 5 Euros on Lucy that she could kick him so hard he forgets who he is. ROFL!

  • Connection problem - non firewall

    as you're doing your clean installs, make sure you run a registry cleaner like CCleaner to make sure you got rid of all of it. and like Burro said, make sure you follow the directions in order. if you still have issues, post again and we'll all pitch in to help.

  • Crossfire Server offline

    sorry to hear you're having these issues. thanks for the update... i was beginning to worry for a minute. my trigger finger is trying to find other things to do but can't seem to stop thinking about CF. :D no rush, take your time. i wish i could help you out but my server knowledge isn't that great. :(

  • FL Intro ships

    OP, the first capship is awesome. the fighter reminds me of the "Buster" in X3:The Reunion. perhaps you could take a few ideas from that model and apply it to this ship. it has very similar features and the wep mounts in X3 are placed well. have u seen that model?

    ***Edit***
    here's one rendition:


    here's another one that i'm more used to:

  • Crossfire compatability with Vista

    Trojan - there are a few threads on this subject. i would run a search if you get stuck and see if you can find your answer. if not, plenty of people here are ready to help. i also run FL on Vista using Avira AntiVir with no issues.

  • CF1.8 development process

    @ OP, would you have any issues if i posted your videos to the SFP forum under the general section for everyone to view? i'm working on getting some BBCode that i can post video that way people won't have to download them but just view them from the post. i want to use your videos as a test. let me know.
    thanks,

  • SAVE FL - Collecting ideas

    ok, this may not be what you're looking for but i'll post it anyway. if this is not the place to say it, please let me know so i can post it in the right place.


    idea:
    background: i can't exactly remember what game i used to play that i was able to take escort missions... (DS1, Tachyon: The Fringe, maybe X3).


    for consideration: dock at station/planet, go to bar, click on various people in the bar (like frieghter pilots), they offer you an escort job for so many credits.


    possible problem: the escort mission will enact "pirate" NPCs to attack which could effect players rep with that faction. i know most people don't like messing with their rep because it limits where they can dock later. maybe a way to not allow rep to take a hit?


    possible opportunity: pirate clans (SMG, Fallen, LP, etc.) can sit outside planets/stations and wait for players to undock and see they have joined an escort then attack the escort mission directly and turn the mission into a RP scenario.


    i know from conversations i've had with Gunny, Michael, and Lucy that RP has been lacking lately and we've taken steps to improve that but this would add a new element to RP. please let me know what you think and if this is even possible.
