As the title say, Can I have precisions about the Freespace Conversion ? (like in the topic "Campaigns")
-
This is a direct quote from the "Features" page of my site.
This is a port of all the ships, weapons, and missions from Descent: Freespace- The Great War into the enhanced engine of Freespace 2.
It will eventually include the Freespace campaign, the Silent Threat campaign, and a massive alternate campaign along the same lines, but from the Vasudan pilot's point of view. The pilot will even be able to choose partway through if s/he wants to join the Hammer of Light!
The modifications allow full compatibility with existing Freespace and Freespace 2 missions, allowing you to convert flawlessly every campaign developed for either Freespace (barring other modifications.) Multiplayer co-operative and team vs. team work fine but new dogfight missions are required.
In addition, your favorite FS1 campaigns can be fully converted easily. Details coming soon.

Thanks :yes:

But FRED2 can open fs1 mission and campaign files, so basically all you're doing is opening fs1 files and saving them as fs2? And maybe converting a few models in ModView.

somebody's got to do it :p

Pretty much. There are a few changes to be made, like changing Vasudan ships from PV to GV and making backgrounds, but yeah. I've also converted all the weapons. Like Untouchable said, somebody's got to do it.
