You`ll be lucky if you can find the cutscenes on Kazaa as most people just leave them on the CD's. There is a transcript of all of the cutscenes in the Storyline section of my FAQ but that is a poor second to having the cutscenes themselves but I think that's probably the best you`ll get. I`ll try to put up the names of the cutscenes by this time tomorrow.

Okay, so these .vps are just like .paks for quake engine games. Still need to find the last few, though.

Do I need to unpack anything from the high resolution .vp?

I believe that one can be used as it is.

the inevitable newb question
Ok another noob. Well noob-ish. I was on the ol' FDL for a while way back when and I've been lurking here for a bit having just dusted off FS and FS2 again due to complete and utter disillusionment with Freelancer

I noticed that some people seem to have difficulty with the HotU rip since the briefings fly past, having no sound to slow them down. It doesn't mention it in the FAQ but there is always the 'pause button' option then you can just step through the briefing stages with the 'next' arrow and have plenty of time to read. Click it once and it stays in that mode for the whole game btw. Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best.

All of this would be so much easier if Interplay actually started selling FS2 white box editions.  Heck...just the CDs in a jewel case would be fantastic.  Sell em for $9.99...cash in on FreeLancer's success....it'd be great.

Amen to that. Honestly Freespace 2 has to be just about the most sought-after games on the used market (Just look at the prices on ebay if you don't believe me) and I for one would sure like some replacement discs. Mine are just nasty. This would be the perfect time to do it, too.

 
the inevitable newb question
tell me about it, i've got an order for the withe label running at the local book(and multimedia) store, from last december, and i doubt i''ll ever get the full game. i have the voice, music, and some of the cb's, however.

Thanks for the pointer. I`ll add that to the FAQ too. :) I`d only heard about problems with the in game speech but yeah the briefings would whip past quickly too now I think about it. :)

Yep, all. Sorry, but you're something of a joke round these parts. Although you did manage to reply in only one post this time - well done :)

only in a few off topic situations.
with the exeption of the ocasional anti-American rant (though he does have legitimate grevences, unlike most) and missing the point of the ocasional joke he seems to be a fairly decent member of the comunity.
