Title: FreeSpace 2 Refrence Guide
Post by: Krackers87 on August 31, 2003, 06:09:06 pm

I have created A datbase similar to Sandwich's Ship guide (which alot of the info is from, THX!!!) that allows someone to search for specific things like: Name, Class, Initials, Race, First 3 missions it appears in, and faction and to see the rtesults from the filters picked.

This will hopefully make it much easier to find the backround of a certain ship and all of its characteristics.

Right now its in its Beta testing stage and is missing some components but i would realy like to see what people think of it so far.

I have also included some components to view th database for people who do not have Access installed. IMPORTANT NOTE: Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) are not supported on SQL Server 7.0 or 6.5 clustered installations. Please do NOT install MDAC on such servers; doing so will break your cluster.

Zipped Database  (http://swooh.com/peon/Bubsy87/FS2RG/FreeSpace2RG.zip)

Components  (http://swooh.com/peon/Bubsy87/FS2RG/MDAC_TYP.EXE)

I still have much to do with this and hope for it to one day include FS1 ST and the Cannon user created campaigns.

I've downloaded the file and the components, but it still doesn't work.  I have micro**** office but not access.  How can I get it to work?

dont worry about it

#1 its not in a very useful state yet (major info on ships is missing)

#2 Next version will be written in VBasic so i can compile it into a self running .exe
