@xerx classy man, a little bit of variety is good for a forlorn freelancer dreaming of yesteryear

@gazzer, lol what little i remember of elite was the fact that i could never get it to go properly on my amiga 500

@fallout, im in the same boat... i cant get it to run on my current system, hence why i dug up an old p75... all of the current pc - pc emulators are having trouble with emulating EMS memory, so priv wont run

Xerx: I hear you about the Privateer music, I'll never forget the music for the city planet (I think it was that, my memory is now fading), very eerie and solomn. Although I remember the lofty goals that Privateer was meant to fulfill (any parralels to Digital Anvil?), i.e. gourand shaded 3d models, yet they ended up using Wing Commander like sprites. Although I was using a 386 DX 33 at the time, so I don't think it would have run if they'd have used their original engine spec.

Those were the days, plus I got Privateer for my 15th birthday opened it at 1am (speech pack as well) and played it until 5:30am, boy was I tired at school that day... plus it was expensive! £50 for the game and another £20 for the speech pack.

LMFAO
i think im getting ahead of myself...
ive already started to build the custom resource dll for the systems
ahh well ne'er mind.. it goes according to.. i cant say plan.. cos im just doing it haphazardly but ya get the picture

Ok i officially suck... im having real problems with the tradelanes...
any help would be appreciated...
how does one calculate the angles correctly, ive read the other posts on the matter and cant make head nor tales of them
I can make lanes that are in straight lines vertically or horizontally, but angles in between.. are a big no go.. ive looked at the examples in the other systems, and they only zeem to rotate in the Z(?) axis... humph i am not a hppy camper

Privateer MOD!
That would require all new ships, skins, weapons, not to mention an ENTIRE NEW STARTSYSTEM. It can be done, but with the tools that are out now, that would take an eternity. Although, i would like to see a mod for my favorite game of all time, i think this project will be possible once the visual system editor releases and the code is better understood(IE: Capitol ship creation, easier encounter creation, ect).

Farewell, hope i havent crushed anyones spirit

starsystem rather

Shion I've already started
but hmm youre right its gonna take an eternity
On the upside im using it to teach myself about how Freelancer works
but so to speak ive only just started the Troy system but its coming along
As for the ships.. hopefully someone knows how to extract the ship mesh's from teh original Privateer .TRE files, sure they'll need cleaning up and stuff, but oh well its something to do
