Make me a challenging 20 system pack

Thu Apr 24, 2003 1:41 pm by danny

Hello.

I finished Freelancer in half a week and explorered 48 systems and 2 (random) nomad systems (the one with a single sun, and the one with the monkey and robot planet).

I need a challenging 20 systems pack.

-It can be more than 20 systems.

-Starts from a Tau, Omega, Omicron or Sigma systems (or all of them go to different ones. None can be connected to a civilized place (i.e. A jump hole can not be right outside Manhatten)

-No Tradelanes

-No Jump Gates (only Holes)

- No Jump Gate construction sites

-Must have ships (i have come across a lot of systems made and posted here that have no ships in it, unless if it is a station)

-Do not include Police or Naval forces or a transport company in it.

-At bases or planets, do not make things cheap by adding all of the weapons buyable and all of the best ships avaliable.

-Must have at least 5 systems that are owened by a powerfull Criminal organization (do not do something stupid and have the liberty rouges own a system)

-ONLY criminals can own systems and planets. Research companys or construction companys (i.e. Daumann Heavy Construction) or bounty hunters, own stations or battle ships. Battle ships can not be in enemy territory, only thier own.

-Needs Nebulas and (if possible) abandoned ships.

-If there is a research station (i.e. Solarius Station in Omega 11 that is owned by Daumann Heavy Construction), then any company can own it and any ship can be in that area.

-If possible, try and find your own music that fits with the sytem. I am also pretty sure it is possbile to make your own sounds too and insert them (some of what I've seen, when i exit a planet it says "...freelancer alpha 1-1. this is, docking ring cleared, ..." )

-Make at least one planet in at least 10 systems. The planet must fit well with the system (i.e. think about it, a planet like manhatten in Omicron Beta)

-You CAN make another kind of Nomad system (one that is even more crazy than the monkey planet and the robot planet that is allready there.)

I will try one pack per week.

lol, you just expect someone to make this whole thing simply because you want them to? i think you can dream on mate....

there are hardworking modders out there who are working non-stop on projects such as the star wars TC and the babylon-5 mods, for the ideas you have, you're going to need an experienced modder, and all the experienced modders are making mods for the community, not just for individuals demanding that a mod be made for them.

dont get me wrong, the ideas you have a good, and if this mod were realeased, i would definitely download it, but you cant expect people to drop everything and make sumthing just for you, simply because youve said you want it.

why not try looking into system creation and making the mod yourself????

i hope im not being unreasonable here, if i am im sure im about to get mega-flamed.... oh well....

There should be a "mod request" forum with the description "Here's where you can request any mods you want made with the full knowledge that it will never happen unless you do it yourself, so you don't waste other people's time and risk getting flamed by posting it in the editing forum"

Now, was this a request, or a demand? Because people don't usually take too kindly to demands. You want twenty systems? And I take it, you want EVERYONE to make 20 systems... Have you any idea how long it takes to make a system? First you have to decide the size of the system. The you have to figure out how many planets you want, how many stations you want, if you want tradelanes or not, which systems it should link to, and finally what kind of system it should be (ice, sulfer, stone, scrap, whatever). Then you have to decide where to put the planets and stations, what kind of planets and stations they'll be, who runs them, what they'll sell, and how much things will cost there. After that, you have to make the ROOMS for each of these bases; if you want custom planets, you also have to model a 3d landing pad, skin it, and place all the hardpoints and write all the code to make it work properly. Then you have to populate these bases, and come up original names for them all. After this, the system background must be chosen, the nebulae and debris fields must be made, with exclusion zones as well. You have to figure out if you want the system to be radioactive, or just a nebula or two, or none of the above. You have to place wrecks, decide what will spawn from them, create encounters, sound bites, music, and ships. AND, you want it all right now, again and again and again, and for free. A project like that would take MONTHS. Even with more than one person working on it, no one's made a complete system yet. Everything is still WIP, because it takes a !@#$ long time to put everything into place and troubleshoot it.

So, if you want twenty new, original systems per week, complete with new backgrond art and music, as well as new ships, pilots, factions, and whatever else, I suggest you either ask VERY VERY nicely, or become VERY VERY good and VERY VERY fast at doing it yourself.

*falls over laughing* This is the kind of request that needs to be posted on a comic relief board or something. Thinking that someone will build you a mod just because you want it, and then follow YOUR specifications in their mod? This is the most selfish mod request I've ever seen. Somebody should teach this boy some manners or somethin.

What a clown.....

Systems take a lot of effort to make. Making 20 of them will take all year

this is funny...

It would be even more funny if he added a due date

i call this humourus newbie spam

hahahahaha, I didn't even notice the "one pack per week" demand. Well, apparently this guy promptly disappeared off the face of the earth after posting this, because he still only has 3 posts.

Man, I really needed that, that was funny.

What we need is working as a team and also get everything manageable. Like having a Mod manager for the game will be cool. We can't have everybody editing and posting their mods for whatever request out there, that will just be a mess. I have experienced that in UnrealTournament. By the way, that "20 system" request is impossible for now. Danny you can dream of it, but you won't have it.

haha. I think we laughed him out of the forums completly.

"Hey...aren't you the guy who asked for a 20 system mod? haha!"

Is it meant to be a joke from the start?
