Re: Official new people thread!

Re: Official new people thread!
I joined HLP recently. I started with a 10 mission demo of Freespace in 2003 that came with my Wingman Joystick.  I beat it,  but I didn't end up finding the full game in stores and almost forgot about this game until I found the full thing on GOG in 2015 along with the prequel.  I completed both of them and they took up much time until I got a PS2 emulator in 2016 and started playing through the Ace Combat series.  I slowly started playing again in 2019 then found Knossos in 2020 during the Covid 19 pandemic

Re: Official new people thread!
Typo in my post, it was a ten mission demo of Freespace 2 that went to the mission "Feint Parry Riposte."  By prequel, I meant Freespace 1

Welcome. Feel right at home. Freders are always in short supply.

By the way, would you still have those 3 campaigns somewhere? They could be hosted.

Thanks. The first two are lost, I have the third one, but it's an absolute disgrace.

Act 1 of the fourth one, which I started making during quarantine, is close to release. I'd love to post it on the forums, once I read through the rules of doing so.

Great to see you both here!

Thanks <3

Do you have the names by any chance?  Possible someone stashed it somewhere if it was uploaded to the interwebs (and if you know the name of any site it might be archived on archive.org or similar).  Also if it's on an old hard drive that's crashed and you feel like trying there are some things you can try to retrieve the information (I believe I have a signature post to that effect).

Thank you for your kind advice. I'd be sure to heed it, but those campaigns were sadly extremely low quality measured by today's standards. Nothing of value was lost, but they were good FRED-practice for me.

I am now looking for testers for my current project, here is the relevant thread: https://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=97475.msg1908941#msg1908941

Hello, new user here. I started playing Freespace when I bought it off of GOG, and I've been lurking here for a while. After I posted a question on Discord, I thought the time was ripe to, perhaps, participate in the goings on of the community.

Welcome aboard pilot :-)

Make sure you check the getting started thread, I have posted a few guides on there in the last few months which might help you get the best out of Freespace - such as the auto aim guide and the guide to using Knossos to make the game look its best - link below :-)

Re: Official new people thread!
Hello everyone, I’ve recently joined and I have to say that I am amazed at all the hard work and passion that has been put into this, FreeSpace definitely has to be my favourite series, I hope that I will be able to contribute, even if it’s just as moral support!

Re: Official new people thread!
Yeah, I've been lurking around here intermittently for a while (2008!), but I never did an introductory one. So...hey there to everyone!
FS remains my favorite game, even after all this time (always). I loved it so much that, even when i didn't have a PC that could play it, I would go to a cyber-cafe and install it there, play until my time was up, then next time I went started all over again. Must have played retail campaign over 20 times (but only some missions tho) over the years.
Nice to meet you all!

BTW I'm Sparda on the discord.

Hi there! New to the site and new to the game. Was craving a space shoot 'em up game of some kind and after much research found FS and FS2 and then, the hard-light forums. Hoping I can find my way through this universe with your help!

Hi!

The installer we primarily use (Knossos) for installing the SCP & mods is here: https://fsnebula.org/knossos/

Useful Terms:
SCP: Source Code Project, upgrades the FS2 Open Engine
MediaVPs: asset upgrades to FreeSpace
FSPort: FreeSpace Port, a port of FreeSpace 1 / The Great War & Silent Threat add-on to the FS2 and FS2 Open engine.  Also has asset upgrades.

If there's anything you need to know, or if you run into problems, just ask!

EDIT: handy guide, here: https://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=91849.0
