Freelancer Massive Addon v2 release info and wishlist

Fri Jul 25, 2003 10:26 am by Tygrys

PROJECT SUSPENDED DUE THE LACK OF FREE TIME AND NEW MODS.

Since FMA 2 doesen't differ much from 1.1, I'll wait for more mods to compile into before release.

I'm preparing FMA 2 to the release.

FMA is a compilation of many different mods made by many authors. It allows you to play all this mods in one game. All authors sharing their work to FMA became co-authors of the whole compilation. I'm only the editor/compiler here.

Estaimated release date: not near future.

Features:

Over 100 new ships by various authors, including near all FL NPC ships, gunboats, battleships to buy.

New weapons: all FL NPC weapons like train or station turrets to buy, some new ones.

About 30 new systems, including

-Story Systems(6) -Now you can visit Planet Toledo and Nomad city
-Sol System (1) -Implementation of solar system
-Orion System (1) -Rich weapons storage
-Helios System (1) -Nice place to buy Scythe fighter and porton torpedoes
-Sam's Jump System (1) -Access to Story only systems
-New Stars systems (5) -Now called New Europea
-Earth system (5) -Beautyfull implementation of out Solar system, new equipment.
-Galapagus systems (4) -Check that Battleship!
-New Australia(1) -Look for kangaroos

This will work both in MP and SP, including the story missions.

Editor:
Tygrys (compilation, arangement, debuging)
Authors:
Giskard (Hostile Universe ships)
Kurgan (Hostile Universe ships, Kurgan ships)
Reynen (FL moded ships)
Rapid (TIE ships)
C06alt (SW ships X-wing)
Porsche (SW Ships)
Free Spirit (Ships-Falcon)
Sam, aka Newt (Jump sysytm)
Grendelin (Helios System)
ByteLock (Orion System)
Garion (X-Shuttle)
Buckaroobanzai(SW ships and more)
Kendo THM (Galapagus systems)
Night Crawler (New stars)
Hobbie (New Australia)
Alexey (Earth system mod)
Dracon (Sol system)
Redeye (Elite ships)
SuBXeRo (Osiris, Anubis and other FL expanded ships)
Mike a1freelancers (USS Enterprise)
General Trageton (Toscan Fighter)
GAG (SW ships)

Still searching for more people to credit.
Thanks to all authors who agreed (and liked) to share their work here.

Post your thoughts, wishes and ideas you want to share to this tread.

But remember, this is a compilation, not a mod by itself. As a rule, it will not change the originall game, it will only ADD new systems and new stuff there.
So please don't ask for destructable bases or battleship encounters or shortcuts from NY to Omicron's.

Tygrys.

For the text adventure you will have to wait for The Pinball, it will be something like that. Cloaking is a whole-universe mod and it not applies for the idea of this compilation. Sorry for that. If there is a mod which will implement cloaking locally, it may let FMA have it. To play Babylon systems and races you will have to play Babylon mod by TFK-Killermatrix. All Babylon stuff has been excluded from this FMA release.

First off Tygrys I would just like to say great mod on behalf of me and everybody at my server. Everybody I have talked to including me thinks that it is the best. I played a lot of Freelancer. I had pretty much mastered the game. I needed something new, a change, new additions and your mod delivered. Rather then search for a server with this mod I decided to create my own for myself and others to play on and enjoy this mod. My server is called "Massive Addon v1.1 by Wiit" at the IP 68.184.11.40 for anybody interested in finding a server hosting this mod. The biggest thing I want to see done to the mod are bug fixes. I am going to send you an email Tygrys with a list of bugs that players and I have found in the mod. Other then that I would have to say your mod is already superb and the even more additions you plan is even better so that this mod can never get old because there will always be new things to discover. I was wondering if there was an official forum for the mod? If not I was looking to make one so that lovers of this mod could discuss bugs, ideas/wishlist, and spoilers (I just really want to know where that Slave 1 is

). Thank you again from me and everybody at my server.

Wiit, you put honey on my heart

Sorry for the bugs, I'm still working at FMA 1.2 path. Thanks for finding some more for me. It is VERY DIFFICULT to connect different mods and not to overlook something. FMA 2 should avoid some problems from v1.1. Philosophy of what mods to include also has been changed. Surelly you can setup a forum for this, I'm currently using LR for mod feedback. Maybe there should be a separate thread to discuss FMA 1.1, the one for FMA 2 is now here.

I have done some programming Tygrys so I can understand how bugs can be easily overlooked and I can imagine with so many systems how it can be hard to even identify some of the bugs. An idea I thought of the mod was to build in some anti-cheat protection maybe such as LancerGaurd? Ideas for a forum for the mod official/unofficial? could be at Yahoo! or MSN if you would want one. You are making something good even better. Keep up the good work and I will keep an eye out for any bugs other players and I come across.

I would love to see the computer ai be more difficult and fly some of the new ships that would be sweet, cause i cant be online all the time to play on a server hosting the mod, but CAN however spend as much time offline as i please and besides the ai sucks :/

I made a forum for the mod. Its own. Since it deserves one. Together we can stamp out the bugs in this mod, or at least hopefully the server crashing ones. The forum is at http://groups.msn.com/FreelancerMassiveAddon
Everybody is welcome.

Wiitigo,

Thanks for the forum. I'll do my best to explain all problems. Now I'm going to have some holidays and will be back about 25 august. Have fun with FMA.

HEY! Make some new Russian Systems.

My sales pitch.

Two Russian nations, that hate each other.
One based on the old Imperial System in Pre-WWI Russia, Tzar and all.(Imperial New Russia)
The Other is they Soviet System Post WWII and during the War for Sol(Starlancer)(Soviet New Russia)

New Factions: Soviet
Police: Soviet military police
Navy: Soviet Navy
House Corp: Soviet Consolidated Industries

Imperial
Police: Imperial Russian Police
Navy: Imperial Russian Navy
House Corps: Kamov Manufacturing(HEHEHEHEHEHE!!!!), Imperial Freight

Pirate
Corsairs will make an appearance
New Pirates: Black Star Pirates

They are next too each to each other with 2 border worlds under constant conflict.

Soviet Russian Core Systems: Planets: Stations
New Stalingrad: Planet New Stalingrad, Planet Donu(Uninhabited): Morozovsk Shipyard, Kremlin Police Station
New Leningrad: Planet New Leningrad: Tallmn Base(IC)
Siberia(Wheres the Prisons at!): Planet Sibirskoye(Prison Colony, Minefeild surrounding it.): Gulag Prison(Seperate Supermax Prison, Mined like Newgate)

Imperial Russian Core Systems: Planets: Stations
New Moscow: Planet New Moscow, Planet Vyazma: Kursk Border Station(Near a Debris cloud marking a major battle between the Soviets and Imperials,) Smolensk Shipyard(Also in New Moscow, Chernobyl Debris cloud. It seems to be a very cursed name. Not really, Chernobyl station was originally named The Sphere, A Highly complex facility that was a symbol of superior Imperial Technology. was the site of a Soviet special operation. As soon as it came online, it exploded, throwing raditation and debris all over the system.)
Ukraine: Planet Kiev: Kharkiv Police Base(also home to the Sea of Azov, an Ice Cloud)
Crimea: No Planets :Sevastopol Police Base, Kerch Prison

I know....I could and should make it myself.....but I prolly wont....so.........

EVERYBODY! GET READY TO GET SAVAGE! *Start playing Jungle Boogie*

For this mod Tygrys is a compiler not creator. Correct me if I am wrong?

Wiit

Tue Aug 05, 2003 12:51 pm by Tygrys

Yes, a compiler only.

But I can choose what mods to include and how to put them to the universe. So every such idea can be used to build the final FMA.
