Has Anyone Ever Played Freespace?

Dr_Zer0

<div class="IPBDescription">Request</div> If anyone here has ever played FS1 then you'd prolly know what Im talking about, Iv been working on putting shivans in my game but it just never comes out right, I did the retexturing good for the Hive locations and the Hive itself, but I would really love to see these things in the game

you you wanna see more pics of them the just go <a href='http://www.descent-freespace.com/goodies/gallery/' target='_blank'>here</a> and look around for the big red guys with 5 legs

these also might help <a href='http://www.descent-freespace.com/goodies/gallery/species/' target='_blank'>http://www.descent-freespace.com/goodies/g...allery/species/</a> (just ignore the brown guy)

Funny you should say that, I've been converting ships and looking at the techvids for the Shivans and thinking "Hmm... you know, he could work for Onos..."

And why ignore the big brown guy? You know those Vasudans wouldn't be half bad as Fades, especially with that flight armor <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Dr_Zer0

Dr_Zer0

only one prob with Vasudans being Fades, Vasudans are suspost to be your friends <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

but then we could have a big box of headz on him <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

btw, dont just make the shivan for onos, make a baby shivan for Skulk or something <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Darkness rising? oh great game, only played the OEM version (like a biig demo) sadly but it captured me completely

if anyone knows the compression algorithm for the textures in FS1, i would like to know how to decompress them.

*cough* i totally aint gonna rip anything off, honest *cough*

Jaeger

textures in .pcx, models in .pof. Get VPviewer from the Descent Net site and you can extract the archives. You'll need some .dlls to run it, you'll have to Google for those. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

Dr_Zer0

I would know the whole story since I was one of the ones at the VBB before it was closed for good...
Interplay bought over the rights for FS because they distributed it and then started claiming all the work for themselvs basicly and it shows that Intergay would rather make a Briteny Spears games over FS3 <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->

If anyone wants Freespace 2 I know where you can download it for free and legally.. <a href='http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?id=4150' target='_blank'>http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?id=4150</a> its only like 200 mbs and it free yay!! thought I would post it here since its about freespace <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Dr_Zer0

Iv seen that on the HLP but I did'nt bother since I alredy have FS 1 and 2 bought <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

btw, there is a mod for FS2 that converts it into FS1 <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

The free download is crap, lol <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

Don't bother with it. To get it to work without the cd they had to axe the music, cutscenes, mission and campaign briefings. Shell out the 15 bucks for the vanilla version, it's a great game and unless you get to experience it wholesale you're gonna feel cheated after having beat it.

Dr_Zer0

well you would kinda want the cutscenes, my favs would be the FS1 cut scenes... The Intro and the Hall Fight, as for the hall fight, I have my reasons <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::fade::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/fade.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='fade.gif'><!--endemo-->

*gasp* I just go another idea... for the HAs, model the vasudan just for the hell of it and put them in as HAs <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Jaeger

GTVA Colossus and Bastion Dies pwn them both, imo <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

But yes, the original intro and Hall Fight are both very good.

"Oh my God!! We're dead!! WE'RE ALL DEAD!!" <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Dr_Zer0

"Prolly all dead anyway" "Cut the chatter darnit!"

Dr_Zer0

*bump*

so is anyone gonna make a shivan or not?

ZeroSaber

You **** are trying to convince me to reinstall FS2.


And yes, I have the legally purchased Game of the Year edition <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

The same with FS1.

Dr_Zer0

I copied my 3 CD set for FS2- 2 times just to be safe, same with FS1 <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'><!--endemo-->
