Walk Around

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anyone could make a mod where you could walk around in the diferent locations; eg. bars, landing pads, commodity stores etc.

The rooms are already made (the model) so couldn't you just write some code so that Trent could walk around the rooms?

A noble ambition I must say. A first person experience vis a vis 'downtown FreeLancer' a la "Deus Ex". Yummy!
Unfortunately there are no 3d model versions of that 'downtown' in game-to interact with in first person perspective.
In FL 'space', we are dealing with essentially image and skeleton files given volumetric and imaging values with the use of .sur, .mat and other linked files.
Technically, it is feasible however, you will wind up creating a whole new FreeLancer game in which one could switch from your space vehicle to
first person mode on landing.
This has been done in games such as "Universal Combat" (I think it was named) and a few others.
Should Digital Anvil create such a game, combining the attributes of FL and Deus Ex it would surely be a game to 'die for'.
