Warzog, while playing ur mod, i found out a few disturbing matters...1 of the 4 guns of the hellcat doesnt shoot...
The hellcat is irritatingly flying really closeby if u fly it, it takes up a lot of ur screen...
It is actually twisted with ur starting ship which flys too far away from u...
I was hoping u could do something about this all....

TommY_4_life:
1)Please read the post at the top of the page.
2)I already know about the problems with the Hellcat, Sabre, and a few others.
3)The camera angles and distances have been corrected in the current mod.
4)As soon as I find & fix the bug that's keeping me out of the new Gemini systems, I'll upload v2.0, and hopefully will satisfy everyone's complaints with v1.06!


'Til then:

Watch your 6!

Warzog - Chemus is right, "flspex.txt" is located in;

C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Local Settings\Application Data\Freelancer

The only reason that I can think of (off-hand) that would cause the file location to vary, would probably be because XP is saving the file under the same directory as the username of the person who is running the FL process. That is to say that it may not be "Owner" (which is the username that I assume you use because it is the default), but "Local Service", etc. Therefore, flspew.txt will most likely be located in the above directory, but under the username of whoever XP thinks is running "Freelancer.exe". Run FL, go back to the desktop, and use CTRL-ALT-DELETE. This will show you who owns the process (I assume that you know this, however). Mmm, SS might be right, we should probably continue this in another thread in this forum. Not that I mind of course; as far as I'm concerned, it's your forum!

As long as you don't ask him about proper English (or english) he should be a tremendous help!

I'll get you for that!

Umm, am I the only one who remembers the Stralthi Kilrathi ship? Or are you intentionally avoiding it due to its abilities?
------

To the best of my knowledge, there is no "Stralthi" ship, either in Privateer or the whole of Wing Commander. Do you mean Salthi or Strakha, perhaps?

I should have the Orion up soon. I wasn't terribly happy with the Tarsus textures (gmax is not the most flattering renderer), so I experimented with my own ... which are probably even worse, but whatever. I'll probably sub another texture in the next release.

heheh, the Stralthi/Salthi/Strakha (whichever one of those that had the cloak :p) isn't the only ship with those "abilities" how bout the Dragon and Excalibur (though was only for the last mission)

Whichever I saw in the Wing Commaander Academy game about 8? years ago. 'They seemed to come out of nowhere!' :p

The "Stralthi" was the 10,000-credit starting ship from Priv2 if I'm not mistaken.

Actually it is called the "Straith" and I always got rid of it as fast as possible for the "Shaman."

Sir S

I did find what I was looking for on the site that falcon posted. The link to the Kilrathi ship (notice I'd mentioned that it was Kilrathi earlier ) is here: http://www.wcnews.com/ships/wc2strakha.shtml

It's the Strakha medium Stealth Fighter. I thought that I remembered it from Privateer, but realized later that I saw it in WC Academy.

Esquilax:
It's in the "all users" folder because that's where, and how I loaded FL.
It jumps to "local settings" if I go on line, and haven't rebooted before launching FL.
It jumps to "owner" because that's what it has me as.
The "all users" and "owner" folders are where it goes the most, but it jumps back and forth.
Of course, I don't sign in, so XP may just be confused.
I've noticed that XP does the same thing with cookies, "links," "favorites," etc, text files, and the like.
Most of the time it places stuff in "all users," but every once-in-a-while it tries stuffing things in "owner."
(And then I have to punish it.)
It's slowly beginning to ignore the "owner's" folder completely.

There seems to be a file that tells it where to place things, and where to retrieve them from.
By constantly moving them into "all users" it's starting to completely ignore the "owner's" folder.
(Which suits me just fine!)
I figure, a few more "lessons," and it'll ignore "owner" completely.
(Just gotta show it who's boss!)

Watch your 6!

I was dorking around with photoshop the other day. I am putting the final touches on some seamless metal textures I created. Perhaps they can be used for perry naval base, or any other base that needs some skin?

I also obtained Milkshape 3d.. and I find it sucks as far as a modelling interface is concerned. I am considering Gmax now. As an old 3d model hobbyist, I am seriously considerin getting back into this, and only need some time to figure out the newfangled 3d programs (oh why, why god did they change so much since 1996ish).

I am working on ur second ship right now...the shaman, its kinda hard though, first ship..

SS - Your right. It is the "Straith" .

Warzog - Sounds like you are making progress and have everything under control (or as much as you can with XP). A proper re-installation with fix ALL of your problems! Trust me . Still, I'm still around if you need a hand.
