@Warzog, I don't know if you saw this on the previous page, I know Tolwyn did, but you should ask Pantherras for his Banshee!



by Pantherras posted in his thread The WC4 banshee

Also, I was reminded of JohnHawke who was working on several WC ships. I don't know how far he got, but contacting him as well should be lucrative.Wing Commander 1 Hornet in the works

Also, Maverickdan, although I don't know far he got, Wing Commander Ships. At the very least, there are some 256 color images of ships from WC1.

Sir S

Pleasure Planet music shouldn't be nearly that big :\ I'll try run a conversion on it tonight. BTW, which one are you using?

-----------------------------------------
You left out 3 ships:
Ferret, Sabre, and the Vindicator.
Who gets credit for them?
-----------------------------------------

I *believe* they were all done by Lynx (at least, the skins were) .... however, I do know that WCS had a sort of lend-lease program with Eder's Standoff, so the models might have been done by him. I'm not sure, I wasn't involved with that.

indeed. A lot of models were made by sheherezade though (I am not sure about the spelling).

As for the Acid, very little is known about his whereabout): as far as I recall he received sad news about his grand mother. More is not known to me.

Take care, Tolwyn

I'm Glad to see that 1.07 is nearly out and can't wait for the DL.
Also i noticed a bit of the Paktahn. They were a Confed Very Heavy Bomber/Gunship they had either 2 Raipers or 3 Broadswords escorting them Besdieds that they were built like a Tank and moved about as fast as a crippiled Slug. just needed to park me galaxy a good bit and send a volley or 3 into the shields then volley and proton torpedos right up the ol tailpipe and watch the fireworks. But going into a dog fight with one was always something i needed those shields for.

Sir Spectre:
I saw it.
I just thought that we were making a MOD called Privateer, not one called Wing Commander.
And, I don't recall seeing a Banshee in Privateer.


Update:
Tolwyn has delayed the MOD's release until next week.
He wants the Concordia in it, and he wants to resize the ships, and add missing hardpoints on some of them, before it releases.
(I have my doubts about his doing all of that in one week.)

barkeepa: You're probably thinking of the Paradigm

warzog: Well, if you want to get into it, it has the Demon, and that looks like the Banshee in WC Armada ... <G> Seriously, though, I don't understand this Privateer-only thing ... Privateer is a Wing Commander game, and the two take place in the same universe and timeline. That doesn't mean we should try to fit every single little ship into the main game, I rather like the idea of having the Privateer ships as a core and a select number of additions, and then using the rest of the ships as easter eggs on derelicts asteroid bases ...

i agree, privateer is a wing commander based game (i dont know which of these i like more, privateer or wing commander).
yet since i expected freelancer to be some sort of "enhanced" privateer, and since this is a privateer mod, there really should be some privateer ships in here...

but relax, they will come.

Bob McDob:
I've noticed that few seem to understand it.

Watch your 6!

Really? That's weird ... Privateer is easy to understand ... fly around, blow up ships, make money, buy better ship, make cargo runs, get shot at by MIlitia, kill big green egg. Simple!

Good news, everyone!

I just uploaded commod3dbs.zip (please don't kill me for that horrible, horrible pun), which contains all the Privateer commodity icons in 64x64 .tga format for Freelancer. Actually, it might need some work on the alpha channels, I'm not that skilled.

More relevently, I also uploaded privateer_pleasureplanet.wav . Huzzah!

edit: oh, and warzog, would you mind getting a free email account? I can't send anything at all to your current one, it keeps rejecting me :

warzog: how much progress have you made in planning Gemini? LIke I said earlier, I tried to run FLExplorer earlier and was foiled by the fact that it hates my computer. A lot. Have you tried modeling anything with that yet? Or do you get the same weird errors and crashes?

Bob:
Try this one, I don't use it much, but it still works:
[email protected]

I don't have FLExplorer.
So, I wouldn't know.
The last mod editor I downloaded messed up myWin98SE, wiped out my DVD player, and IE.
Took me a couple of days to clear it up.
So, I don't even bother anymore.

I've already got my Universe.ini mod'd for the Gemini Sector.
I redid yours, and labeled them to make it easier to mod.
I've decided to break the missions up, since they're in batches.
There's the:
1st batch in Liberty
2nd batch in Bretonnia
3rd batch in Kusari
4th batch in Rheinland/Osiris
I plan on spreading them around, like maybe one per Gemini quadrant.
That way the player ends up traveling around a bit.
The biggest problem is going to be doing the paths between the systems.
They're very time consuming.

Edit:
BTW-I downloaded the Pleasure-Planet.wav, works great!
And the icons are supposed to be in 3DB format, not TGA.

warzog, i just stumbled across something called FL ini analyzer when i looked for the fl explorer.
maybe it helps you in finding errors/bugs in your ini files.
