Don't think so - V never got around to releasing FS1 for free like they did FS2.

Er... I'm not the expert on this but I think that since FS1 was never released as a freebie, you aren't allowed to give out the voices and other media associated with it to people who may not own the game themselves. Now, V probably wouldn't care all that much themselves, but GameSpy are pretty hot on copyright rules which means the HLP admins have to be. Go talk to the Port guys, see what they say.

All you need to do is say in the readme that all the creddit gos to V, and V's voice acting crew. And the stuff saying that u can't use and/or sell these bla bla bla and then it would be fine. And I did but their all too scared to do it.:(

Hmmm...

But it still would be illegal, right?

If you have FS2, you can download the FS1 conversion (available from the main page of HLP) and play a version of FS1 with better graphics but fewer frills.

Is FS2 free for DL like somebody here said? Can you give me a link to DL FS2 complete with Videos and Sounds or is only the demo available. :nervous:

The HotU download doesn't have all the videos or sound but by searching around you can bring it up to a full install.
 Either way it's hardly a demo. You can find it here (http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?id=4150) after you've downloaded it have a look at the HotU page in my FAQ for help on how to get it up and running as a full version.

And to think I bought my brothers (2) a copy of fs1 and they don`t even play them... Tried to make it a family thing but it backfired on me..

This may have been taken the wrong way... I wasen`t mad because my brothers didn`t play, I was just dissapointed.:D

If you mean for playing the FS port I doubt anyone would care.

Post by: Whitelight on June 27, 2003, 02:30:58 pm
Well then, if thats the case i`m in the position to make Stargunner an offer.. If he can`t get FS1 anywhere else.. All I ask is if he would consider helping AHTW All Hands To War..

Admins This is not warz..

 (edit) Hippo has accepted me on the staff of AHTW, as a mission tester and i`ll be doing some voice acting for him also..:D
Title: Freespace for DL?
Post by: Hippo on June 27, 2003, 03:04:45 pm
I have no problem with him or anyone else helping, but isn't he looking for FS1? :confused: I'm probably just confused from the heat... (115 degrees)
Title: Freespace for DL?
Post by: Whitelight on June 27, 2003, 03:22:16 pm
Ok I should have posted this in the begining.. I know everyone here doesen`t know me that well and would freeze at an offer like the one that i`ll make to Stargunner... Before you buy FS1 somewhere else please read this post..

I`m willing to give an authentic copy of FS1 to you, no strings attached, Since my brother didn`t put the game to use I asked him if he would consider parting with it and he did, and no i`m not playing with you to hurt your feelings  ..
This will be my part to keep both FS2 and FS1 going for as long as it will.. If anyone thinks i`m dumb for giving it away, well then they are the one with a problem, not me.. Anyway the offer is valid.. No strings, you want it, it`s yours..

The copy comes with both disk 1 and 2..
The flight manual and the Quickstart Key Controls..
I have looked the disks over and they are in excellent condition.

The disks are in jewel cases to prevent damage from sliding in and out of that corny folder they came in... And i`ll throw the folder in also, just don`t use it to store the disks in..
Whitelight

(edit) Oh forgot to mention all i`ll need is a mailing address.. I`ll even pay the shipping cost... I can also be reached at [email protected] Hippo can verifiy my e-mail address so you know this is not a hoax..
If you have any questions you may also post here.
Title: Freespace for DL?
Post by: Whitelight on June 27, 2003, 03:40:14 pm
115 Wow it`s only 70 here..:eek:

I`m probably scaring everyone and that is not my intent..
I`ll be happy to answer any questions anyone has here if that would help..

I understand Stargunner only wants the voices from FS1, and as Hippo stated he has no problem with anyone helping out on AHTW..
I can understand why it would be taken the wrong way (my offer to Stargunner), who else would just give away a copy of FS1.. But the point is I am willing to do so. If Stargunner doesen`t want to help AHTW I have no problems with that and the offer still stands, no strings attached.. Oh and I do have another copy of FS1 so i`ll still have access to FS1 to help Hippo:D  and Both my coppies are store bought from Media play.

(edit) Stargunner may decline this offer, that I will leave up to him.

They don't know what they're missing.

Wow Whitelight, what a generous offer..has anyone taken you up on it yet?

If not, then I would be very greatful if you could send it to me. I live in Canada, so I dont know what the shipping on that would be. I'de pay the shipping, casue you're already giving the stuff for free

I'll email you about it from my other comp tommorow. If you need help we campaigns or something, I'de be glad to help out where I can.

You're a nice guy, I have no idea what you're doing on the HLPBB;) ;)
Title: Freespace for DL?
Post by: Whitelight on June 28, 2003, 04:25:08 pm
Yes the offer is still open.. Like I stated before the copies are in excellent condition.. An e-mail will do fine and it stll will come with what I had stated in my previous post... As to why i`m on HLP, I can`t seem to keep away from anything freespace related, it`s a great game still even after all these years.. And as for helping on AHTW, you can get in touch with hippo, and thanks for your compliment..

(edit) Do you and Shivannode have a copy of FS2. It would really help even better..

I`m sure he didn`t mean it in a bad way.. There are good people here besides me..:D

I know some people may disagree with me on that, :lol:

You hear it alot, that if an offer sounds to good to be true,it probably isn`t... Well i`m in a position to change that;)

(edit) has anyone seen the movie pass it on..

How long would it take to send a package from the us to canada.

Well I live real close to Lake Erie, but since it`s out of the country, maybe 6 to 8 weeks.. My best guess.

 (edit) Question, how many PM`s can the PM box hold?
Title: Freespace for DL?
Post by: Rictor on June 28, 2003, 09:10:39 pm
I dont know exaclty how long it would take, probably under a week. Yime is not really important to me, so whatever suits your schedule.

Also, check your PM, since I can't email you throught the board

As for the how many PM can the Inbox hold, I dont know that there is a limit. I may be wrong, but unless you have like, thousands I wouldn't worry about it.

Once again, muchos gracias Whitelight, its an extremely kind offer
Title: Freespace for DL?
Post by: Sandwich on June 29, 2003, 04:48:20 am
70's the limit.

Apparently that includes the messages automaticly saved after you read them...
Title: Freespace for DL?
Post by: Whitelight on June 29, 2003, 11:42:38 am
Yes i`ve seen the saved PMs
One question, how do I go about clearing them once i`ve recieved the limit (70) I have deleted a few but do not understand how to remove the saved PMs.. Not that i`m close to the limit as of yet but I know that can change pretty quickly..
Thanks in advance Whitelight

Hippo how do I go about getting on ICQ..

(edit) I`ve just learned how to use the Quote, as for edit that came pretty easy.. Forgive me for any of my faults, Whitelight

 (edit) PS.. Ignore the ICQ part, I did a search
Title: Freespace for DL?
Post by: Whitelight on June 29, 2003, 12:14:59 pm
Let me take a wild guess at the PM saves.
You just delete the folder and the PM saves are cleared?

Hmm I don`t currently have any folders.:wtf:

Rictor, i`ve sent you my mailing address in an email..
I didn`t add that the address is in the United States, didn`t know how to handle that part, but the post office will so we should be good to go once I get your mailing address.:D
Title: Freespace for DL?
