Besides, both parts of the name have to have the first letters capitalized. Red Faction.

And yes, it's very short.

Damn, glad I hate shooters. Flight sims are one thing, tooled-up Doom clones completely other.

You wrote it is mod manager? Well, that's nice. Would be even better if you wrote its mod manager.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/lol.gif)

Is there really that much desire for one? You guys have Red Faction Watch and that other 3dap hosted RF fan site to go to...I'm not sure we can cover RF in any way shape or form...

Post by: Setekh on October 08, 2001, 03:06:00 am
Yeh, Sector Five. Apart from RFW as a  factor, S5 is hosted here with GS, so we're not meant to be competition for them... :/

Post by: Fineus on October 08, 2001, 03:10:00 am
I suppose we could provide some coverage... I mean - how far does competition stretch? we provide info on the game, a forum and a mod database for anyone that wants to submit mods? So long as we don't mimick what they do and so on we might be able to do it...  Note to staff:
Discuss in the new topic of the staff forum...

I wonder if there are any programs like Descent Manager that can open Red Faction's VPP files.......

Thanks for the information.

The point is that I spend most of my time on HLP (cool heh?  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)) and I'd like to find more stuff there, rather than go somewhere else.

We talked a little about it - but theres just to much else to do right now. Maybe in 6 months time, in the meantime I think you'll have to cope with.... shivers... being away from HLP whilst you look at RF stuff...
Title: baaaah!!! read Faction is too short!!!
Post by: Carl on October 10, 2001, 01:21:00 am
but HLP is mainly a space sim website, isn't it?
Title: baaaah!!! read Faction is too short!!!
Post by: Fineus on October 10, 2001, 01:55:00 am
That's just a coincedence, a while ago we were going to cover Quake3 as well. But that was right back at the start of HLP when we didn't realise how much work went into covering one topic properly.

Take your time guys. One game at a time.

I also spend most of my internet time at HLP forums.

And how come the FS Art I sent to you guys haven't been posted up yet?!!!

Yeah, the fact that we are covering all space sims right now is really just a coincidence. Obviously we started with FS, but it seems that us HLP staffers just get attracted to CSS's (combat space sims? Never seen an acronym for them before), so it just happened this way.

Anyway, there are other problems with covering RF. Lots. So unfortunately we can't handle it - not yet, at least.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

It's coming... I've just been a little swamped [with non-HLP stuff] lately...
