this guy's been emailing me for the last few weeks, and i've been keeping him on a string, which i hate doing, but anyway, the story is something about how he can't access files on his CD (i'm guessing it's because it's damaged or something) and to play Freespace 1 he needs the following files:
the files that i need are
name size in bytes
freesp~1.ex_ 1937408
FreeSpaceAutoRun.exe 91136
FreeSpaceAutoRun.ico 3310
setup.exe 59904
setup.ini 75
_inst32i.ex_ 320133
_isdel.exe 8192
_setup.dll 11264
_sys1.cab 210528
_user1.cab 255758
data1.cab 6120
fred.ex_ 2741760
freespace.ex_ 1936896
fs.ex_ 2184704
lang.dat 4557
layout.bin 353
setup.bmp 74400
setup.ins 59663
folders that i could not access-
i'm thinking this is legit, and not warez, because you can't play the game with just those files, so it's not like he's asking me to send him the whole CD or something. now i was expecting to get my DSL back, but it hasn't happened yet, and i feel sorry for the guy, so if anyone would like to help me (and ultimately him) out here, and upload some stuff to a folder (via FTP), i'd appreciate it and he'd appreciate it even more :)
anyone?

First of all, point him here.
Second of all, point him to the HOTU page.

FS1
HOTU doesn't have that.

first of all, the way he got in contact with me was through here. but because you guys crack down on anything remotely illegal/warez, he was too scared to post anything... so he contacted me. i don't know why, but i intend to help him.
second, he already has FS2.

Actually that is a valid comment even though the problem is with FS1.
As far as I know none of those files are ones you need for the FSPort which suggests for some reason he doesn't want to play the port or can't. Which also suggests the guy might not have FS2 either.

You've got the webspace, I've got the broadband and CD. Password me up, baby.

Stryke did what i'd expected most of you to do... offer to help without probing with questions and "other ways" of doing it.
Thanks a lot Stryke, you've just been raised on my level of expectations :yes:

no one used the word "peon" since Swooh :D
-
"until Swooh", you mean.
-
Actually, I used the word peon before Swooh. Mostly when I was referring to my fellow classmates at school. Things like that.
:D
-
yeah Sandwich, i meant to say "since Swooh" :)

By Swooh, you mean Feudal China, or at least Warcraft, right?

:wtf:
by Swooh i mean the word that refers only to Swooh.com, the private and personal webserver of four Houston high-school kids.
no one else uses the word "Swooh" because... well... it doesn't exist, it was a made up word by one of the admins.

Until Swooh, you mean..... again. :-/ :lol:

What about the Q3W tards when they're describing a blade-swipe sound?
God, I was stretching with that one.

uhh... yeah :D sorry about that ;) :lol: :)
an0n: actually, if you search for "Swooh" on Google, Yahoo, etc. like 95% of the stuff is related to Swooh.com, the other 5% or so, are kids describing sounds in the game, like:
"It made a swooh sound"
it's like they spell "swoosh" wrong, and say "swooh" instead by mistake :D

your PM box is full Stryke.
the guy who wants the CD stuff says:
u gave me the 32bit installer version of fs1, well my cds use 16bit installer.
it is ok. it will work out coz the files being installed are the same none the less.
what i need from u is to insert your cd1 and cd2. open the cd using my computer... and take a screenshot and send them to me. in this way i will know the layout of the cds especially cd2.
(when i try to install using cd1 after it finishes it asks for cd2 and i insert my cd2 it says wrong cd.. so if i see the layout of your second cd then i can make such a cd from the files of the second cd that i already have)
also
at last i got the files, thank you so much...
well, the files u gave me were all ok, although the files fred.ex_ (i got fred.exe instead)
and freesp~1.ex_ were missing. i also need the folders ereg and directx from cd1.
i found another problem, the file hallfight.mve on my cd2 does not seem to play.
i tried to play it with an mve player and still it did not play, so could u find a way to send that file also.
it is 75mb but i thought since u have so much webspace and all u could help me...
and hey, thanx a lot again man, can't wait to get these files soon and start playing the game again.
(by th way does freespace 1 work on winXP)
could i give you his email addres so he could talk to you :)
