Title: I am new need help.
Post by: KeekBBB on November 23, 2004, 03:16:38 pm

First I have to explain why I am here.
Freespace 2 was included in an German Games Magazine called Gamestar.
I wanted to play it online but PXO seems to be down.
And I heard about an FS2 opensource project.
The project this forum is about.
So my question:
Where can I get the latest version of this open source files and how can I play online then?

PLEASE!!!
help me!

THX

No problem. I suspect we're going to see more of this now that Freespace has appeared on that cover disk.

The latest versions of the project live in the Recent Builds forum that you may have noticed on your way in here. My personal advice is to try using 3.6 first though as that is more stable than the latest builds since they are mainly for the community to test new code with (That doesn't mean that they are highly unstable by any means. I've used nothing but latest builds for the last year and had very little in the way of problems).

If you download the 3.6 installer don't use the new weapon effects as that is for single player only and will result in the game reporting that you are using hacked tables (which in essence you are! :D ).  Make sure you do get the core vp file though as if I remember correctly one of the files in there is needed for multiplayer. All the other vp files are optional.

Oh while I'm here

Try the official SCP Site's player section (http://scp.indiegames.us/content.php?content.2), namely the SCP installation guide and the files list. :)

Welcome to HLP!
Exits are to your left, flamethrowers are to your right, but don't bother using them, they are filled with water. shotguns are under the seat, but they are empty, to you'll have to bash people with them. the real weapons are in a locker that can only be opened by an Admin, V god, or hyperitelligent shade of blue or aquamarine. do not go crawling in the air ducts. if you absolutely must, and you see a shivan, it's probably me. give me your lunch and i'll leave you alone, unless i'm in a bad mood. There is no FS3. Beam-free-all.
