Supreme Cmdr Posted July 21, 2005 Report Posted July 21, 2005 For those of you who either never played it, don't play it anymore etc, here is how you can revive the urge. [*]Install FS2 from the CD-ROM [*]Install the patch. You can get it at several places. e.g. over on Avault [*]Install the FSOpen updates [*]If you want to play multiplayer, go here for access to the PXO replacement server. Have fun!! Some important news coming soon
shihminhao Posted July 21, 2005 Report Posted July 21, 2005 Some important news coming soon?? Could've it be FS....3....??? Hehe...IF that is true,INDEED IT IS A BIG NEWS!!
Guest $iLk Posted July 21, 2005 Report Posted July 21, 2005 According to Freespace 2's EULA - it is legal to copy and pass on correct?
Black Wolf Posted July 26, 2005 Report Posted July 26, 2005 Interesting. Not that long ago, you were bagging the SCP, now you promote it. Was it anything specific that changed your mind?
Supreme Cmdr Posted July 27, 2005 Author Report Posted July 27, 2005 erm, who was that question directed at?
EdGardner-MGT Posted July 27, 2005 Report Posted July 27, 2005 Hey, I still have an account here! Forgot I registered when I picked up a couple copies of your games. Good stuff, FS2 was. The FS2 Source Code Project appreciates the nod. Folks who are interested, drop by the HLP forums if you run into snags, lots of problems solved there (the PXO replacement is not perfect, and, well, neither is the 3.6.5 release, corrected soon). Not sure I have seen that setup site before, I need to add it to the SCP links page. One does have to wonder what the news might be
LostInSpace Posted July 27, 2005 Report Posted July 27, 2005 Greetings EdGardner-MGT. I was also checking out that star wars mod for FS2 Star Wars Conversion OMG that looks gorgeous. I gotta fire up the old FS2 once I get done with a few other games. Been busy with so many other things I never realized there was such a community for FS2.
John Prezioso Posted July 27, 2005 Report Posted July 27, 2005 It's amazing how the FS2 community is still thriving. Gotta love the hardcore...
Cougar_DK Posted July 27, 2005 Report Posted July 27, 2005 Great, thanx for the heads up SC. FS2 has always been a favorite of mine.
EdGardner-MGT Posted August 1, 2005 Report Posted August 1, 2005 They're a fiesty lot, those FS2 players We've had some pretty dedicated young programmers submit material to the SCP. It's not perfect, but it's fun
Guest Hellbinder[CE] Posted August 4, 2005 Report Posted August 4, 2005 well.. I know SC was talking about aquiring the rights to FS (if i am remembering right) about 3-6 months ago. with the intent on making A new FS game
shihminhao Posted August 4, 2005 Report Posted August 4, 2005 A new FS game~ That's what I think "important news"... But SC has spare time to do FS3?? I mean UCAWA and UCG must keep SC busy right now...
Joel Schultz Posted August 4, 2005 Report Posted August 4, 2005 So where can one get the FS2 game CD-ROM without having to sell one's own mother and spleen? I saw it going for $70+ somewhere on the 'net. That's ridiculous, especially for a game that old. I thought prices go down as a game ages...
jamotto Posted August 4, 2005 Report Posted August 4, 2005 quote:Originally posted by Joel Schultz: So where can one get the FS2 game CD-ROM without having to sell one's own mother and spleen?With Interplay gone bust, you may have too. Appears people have snatched nearly all available copies.

But unless it's a first edition and signed, I wouldn't pay $70 bucks for it.
Shadow5731 Posted August 5, 2005 Report Posted August 5, 2005 If yo owned the FS original, or used to have the FS2 cd's.....ask around...maby ones who have them will let you 're-live' the moment there for FS2...
Shadow5731 Posted August 5, 2005 Report Posted August 5, 2005 (I'm NOT saying that I would allow a copy to transfer mind-you....I have an original here too)...) I meant is this: If you can get it, then simply can participate is all ...FS2 is a pretty good game there, I liked it alot too as well, but if you have it..upgrade and whatnot, then see what happens...for FS2, used to be part of a Fleet there as well before it flopped...
Guest $iLk Posted August 5, 2005 Report Posted August 5, 2005 Underdog's version is horrible because it cuts video and most audio. Look for the 2 - 3 CD version floating around on BT.
jamotto Posted August 5, 2005 Report Posted August 5, 2005 quote:Originally posted by $iLk: Underdog's version is horrible because it cuts video and most audio.All of which can be found and downloaded at the Freespace Oracle. The link is even provided on the Underdog's site
LostInSpace Posted August 8, 2005 Report Posted August 8, 2005 Well I couldn't wait any longer. I installed the Freespace2 and the Fsopen. What a difference!? Very nice!
Joel Schultz Posted August 8, 2005 Report Posted August 8, 2005 Well, I be a huntin' on eBay now. I might resort to HotU if all else fails, but would rather get the real deal if possible...
