Long time no see

Hello Lancers

Long time no see...dropped by to see what's cooking. Played the Spaceforece demo yesterday and I got nostalgic over Freelancer.

So I wanted to ask - what are the best mods for singleplayer ATM?

When I first came here I wanted to add a lot of my own stuff and make a full rebalance mod (all ships and items) + add a few of my own ships but I quit (after allmost finishing the rebalance...still have files..)

I might give it another try...but I have to ask if there's ny good tutorial on adding capital ships..with fuses and the works?

A little more info on what I wanted to make:

- rebalance all factions with thier ships:
- each side has light, medium, heavy and ultra heavy fighters + maby bombers (this would include complete changing hte way progressions works.. in the stock game a liberty elite is pitifull compared to other house ships becosue of lvl progression)
- add shields to all capitals, add more capitals, change captial ships weapons and their stats
- add new ships if needed (if faction doesn have a corresponing one or if better looking ones are avialable)
- add a few new systems
- change singleplayer missions to accomodate this
- FORWARD FIX gun points on ALL fighters (this would make transports and capships batter off and fights more challenging)



EDIT - can I pls get answers to my question in the first post?

Post Sat Jun 02, 2007 1:10 pm

Oh, I know how to mod FL..well most of the stuff...I allready made some ships, systems and a lot of other stuff before..

I've never put in capital ships before tough, and I like caps

And I still like to know what good SP mods there are out there..

And would anyone even be interested in a MOD like I described above?

Theres a little thing I wanted to do for quite a while and I'm wondering if anyone is interested (heh..prolyl should have made a poll )

Anyway, I'd like to modify Freelancer, the SP specificly and re-balance everything, add changes:

- all fighters have forward fixed guns
- all factions have following ships classes: light, medium ,heavy fighters, assault fihgters and bombers
- new capship classes such as carriers
- capships with shields and changed weaponry
- a few new systems
- shields and weapons re-balanced and changed
- all SP mission re-done and improved to accomodate changes

I allready have a lot of models that could be quickly imported into FL and sufficient knowledge to do allmost everything..however it would take alot of time if I were to do it all alone.

Here: Some pics of some ships

Dude, I have two things to say;

1) The fixed gun idea, I have always wanted for a long time, so I am doing that in my own mod I am currently working on. I personaaly feel that it makes it more realistic.
2) I really like the looks of your ships, and I have to ask if you've ever done any person jobs for people, because I am in the midst of looking for someone to help me create all new ships for my mod. I just also want to add on that those look like the kind of things I want.

Also, if you would like, I could help you. Email me any other details at [email protected] if you would like my help. I can't do much more than .ini editing and script editing, but I am pretty good at those, not to brag.

Looks like our ideas for a mod are more than compatilbe

I'm currently trying to get the huge battleship in-game (if I figure out how to work with those fuses).

B.t.w. - you got MSN?

There is a shippack that adds retextured ships, I believe its Firebase's ship pack.. I'll look for it.

Post Wed Jun 06, 2007 5:28 am

Re-textures of the originals?

I meant new ship models that look like they fit in Freelancer - not things like Tie-Figters or Omega destroyers.


B.t.w. - where can one find a good tutorial on some of the finer details of ship making - like FUSES and DESTRUCTABLE PARTS (wings on fighters)???

The easiest way to find topics about what you what is to use the Google custom search engine on the front page. It's set up to search Lancers Reactor data base and brings up excellent results.

Here's a couple of topics for what you are asking about.

**Tutorial** Advanced fuses

**Tutorial(WIP)** - Destructible Ship Parts, SUR Splice, Wireframe
