freelancer expansion

Hey it's bin about six months sinds i was here... but i came up an idea....
sinds the modders are perfect in creating new things... couldn't they just create a whole expansion pack.... and change the game engine and stuff sow that you also can hire your own wingman and stuff... cuase at the normal game that can't be changed but in axpansion pack it can.... think about it.... if you have the time for it and want to do it it could be perfect...... and then just put de expension pack for downloading on the internet..... if you want

Doing that kind of stuff would require tinkering with the .exe file. And I gather that's a no-go

Im not a modder,but you would have to ask Microsoft for help I think,or you would have to know all the exe.files realy well.As well as making new speaches.Eaven a experiansed modder would only make a crap one(no offence),it would take 1 month for a Sory line mission to be compleat.And if your very lukey,it will work.A waypoint might apper in the middle of the sun if you dont do it right(low chance).

A storyline ownt be a problem, afaik there are some excellent writers on TLR, esp in the fan fic forum, between them they would probably be able to write the best storyline ever.

Post Sat Mar 26, 2005 2:34 am

creating a storyline isnt a problem, you need little motivation and it's easily accomplished. however, scripting it is something many will despise.


but the real problem is the code.

we have a petition for Freelancer 2 (started by one of my friends) and we have communicated with several microsoft and da people, but none have been able to get in touch with DA and MS together to negotiate the development.

however, we could start a new petition, requesting the release of the source code to the public or to a specified group of people, similar to Halo with Bungie. That would need a fairly large team who are in personal and virtual contact with each other, who are motivated and willing to commit to the project. Starfyre studios would be a good example, and with a few additions of more computer-based and not just freelancer based programmers and the like, they would be the preferable team.

Just because we have great stories dosent mean you can add speaches..the coders would have to just put there words together, it would sound lie one of those japanese Fighting Flicks with bad english..wouldnt work...and im sorry to say probley wont ever work..

Nice to have some reply's ... butt about the speaches... the actors who did that first time or who made them could do that again if they are willing...... and i think they will... because look how many people want it... it could work....
and for the .exe files.... nocd patches can be made..... and trainers and stuff... sow if some work together they can create everything....
and iff some need help with creating ( if it will be done ) then maybe i can help.. i don't know **** about modding and programming... but i know some people in my neighbourhood who are verry good at it.... ( some computer experts are willing to help me out )............. see ya

So are you going to pass around a hat to take up a collection to pay them? Or maybe they will work for free?

Post Sun Mar 27, 2005 6:59 am

Everything is worth a try... don't you think?....
you don't know sh*t if you don't try .....
and if the don't want to do it....
then screw those speaches ... ...
