I finally logged succesfully the Hard Light forum.
I'm from Italy,so please don't pay too attention on errors.
I played the Freespace 2 demo version for 2 years,and 3 moths ago I bought the game from Internet,the FreeSpace 2 gold version.
The game is beautiful,FRED 2 is heaven(I'm creating a campaign,now there are 30 missions).
The graphic quality of my Fres 2 is pretty different from yours,it's the 1999 version... Where I can find the patch that improves graphic quality? I can't play with a full poligon game in 2006!
Help me!

http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/board,97.0.html here u go this should help i tink! You should download the latest build and install it! read there more to see exactly what to do! Sorry thats all the help i can provide!
-
You have two choices. You can go to here (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,39499.0.html) and download the full version of FS2 with FS2_Open already added or you can follow the installing FS2_Open guide in my FAQ and update what you currently have installed.
The first one is more simple but the second one saves you downloading about 700MB worth of data which you already have.

:welcome:
:rolleyes:

I'll try it.
But one more thing:I understand english well,but I had trouble understanding the Introduction voice and the GTVA Colossus introduction video(expecially the Vasudan voice).Is there anyone here that may write it for giving me a better comprehension?

Welcome to HLP, Mobius. :)

"Thirty-Two years have passed since the great war. The Shivans vanished half a lifetime ago, and now we live in the mausoleum of history. We inherit the legacy of ghosts who haunt these ruins. The elders call us the lost generation. I remember stories of a glorious civilisation, of cities with spires that reached the sun, of a blue planet with vast seas, of people with myths of humanity everlasting, of children who saw in the embers of dying stars the destiny of their race, and they hurled themselves into the void of space with no fear. They say our people have no present, only a past filled with horror and a future they can only dream of. Now we forge a new alliance to guard the tomb of space, and to find within its cold expanse the salvation of our race"
This in an awesome intro text. I get chills every time i read it.:)
-
Thanks,Windrunner.
I have trouble downloading mods:sometimes I need to log on "fileplanet",this requires money and a credit card.I'm 16,but in Italy you must be at least 18 for doing these things.
Where I can find small campaigns,like Warzone?
-
You don't need a credit card for fileplanet. There are free downloads. Look a lot more carefully at the page cause they are hidden very well :)
-
Thanks!
I have a lot of questions,I'll use this topic instead of creating another.
1)What does ASAP mean?
2)Somehing about the Inferno mod?Is it full of bugs?Is it exciting?
3)I want to join a group and create a campaign,or even search for players and programmers for my created campaign.What I need to do?
4)I don't have the first FreeSpace,but some of my mission are in FS1 explored systems,so I don't know how was the background for example in the Ross 128 system and in the Ikeya system.Ikeya has population or it is like Gamma Draconis?I must know it because in my campaign,a rebellion starts in Ikeya.
-
1)ASAP = As Soon As Possible
2)Inferno releases chapter 1 of their campaign, then decided to scrap it and re-do it entirely. The new one isn't released yet. Original Chapter 1 (R1) was created for Retail, but a patch was created for it to play under SCP, but that became outdated. A guy named Shadow0000 has fixed this on his own, and improved the effects considerably. You can find his stuff in the Inferno forums.
3) To join, have skills and volunteer them to a project that interests you. To start your own team, get talented individuals interested in your project, enough to help.
4) Ross 128 was not heavily populated, but it posessed a decent presence there, considering its proximity to Delta Serpentis. Ikeya was considerably less populated, which is not surprising considering its distance from the core systems and the front lines of the T-V War. You may want to play FS1 by using the Freespace Port.
-
Do we actually have any canon info on either system?

Benvenuto al HLP. Non fare attenzione alla mia grammatica :D
Welcome to you, now in English. There aren't many Italians around, save KARMA, who is usually away. Says me who posts again after months of being inactive.
-
Ottimo italiano,amico!
Who is KARMA?
I wnat to show you all at least three missions of my campaign,but how?!?
-
KARMA is the most senior Italian forumite, project leader of the Star Wars Conversion project, and superb modeller. He isn't around very often.
To show us some of your missions, you need to upload them first and give us a direct link. If you do not know the how-tos, just ask.
-
So I have just to add a link to a site that contains my campaigns....
And if I want to help someone creating his campaign?
I have mastered FRED 2,but I think I'm not a your level.
Maybe as a tester...
-
Just give us a sample mission, I'm sure it wont be the worst one we've seen.
Anything is better than nothing :nod:
-
I think it isn't possible for now.
Can I send FRED 2 missions by e-mail?
If it's possible, every interested HLP member can tell me his address and have the missions. The main problem is that they need a better english grammar on messages and briefings.I'd like that someone volunteer for a correction.

Ciao, allora non sono l'unico italiano che gioca ancora con Freespace2.
Non sono solo !!!!!
Ora sono anche felice

Im Italian. I was born in Rome as a child. Then by the age of 5 we immigrated to America. Greetings, friend. And because i was not here first, :welcome:
-
Piacere,non siamo soli!
Potremmo usare questa DISCUSSIONE come base operativa per gli Italiani di HLP.
Ma come faccio esattamente a moddare? Non chiedo chissà che, basta cambiare alcune caratteristiche delle navi.Come fare?
Qualcuno di voi conosce la serie per Playstation Colony Wars? Perchè qualcuno non prova a convertilra per FS2?
Avete cominciato a contare tutti gli abbattimenti nelle simulazioni di volo?
Ho visto i miei dati salvati in Colony Wars 3,Ace Combat 3,4 e 5 e ho piacevolmente notato di avere 32107 abbattimenti confermati. Vedrò poi con gli altri giochi...
For all non Italian members:I suggested all the Italian members to use this post as an Italian member private zone,if possible.I've asked for a Colony Wars conversion,how to begin with modding,and how many kills I've achieved in my career of pilot.
-
Modeling- most people use either a paid for modeling program, or the popular TrueSpace program. Check in the HLP Modding forum or HLP Art, to find links for TrueSpace. Hope this helps a bit.

FS2 doesn't work!
I have installed Inferno and played it,but when I've uninstalled it I couldn't play the normal FS2 anymore.I can't open FRED too,it searches <vesuvius.pof> and doesn't find it.Now I can play only Inferno.
Someone please help me!
-
Please it's very important!
If I need to create another post for this problem someone please tell me!

Ok, appena posso lo installo così ti posso contattare.
-
Per favore aiutatemi! FS2 non parte!A chi posso chiedere?
PS Come base operativa potremmo usare il mio post....
Sempre che l'uso di una lingua che i mod non capiscono sembra scorretto....
-
Sounds like you've still got the -mod Inferno enabled on the launcher/Fred perhaps LGM?
-
Let me explain everything.
First,even without Inferno,I couldn't listen the mainhall sound in the normal mode.I've played with the Neo Terra campaign,that required the raynor model i don't have. I have put the INF main file on the FS2 folder,and since that moment there is only Inferno.Only.Put the INF Main in another folder,and the CPU doens't find the <vesuvius.pof>.FRED works only with the Inferno models.And that's not all:the Inferno ships had no weapons(problem I've solved about yesterday).
I don't know what to do,if reinstalling the game or uninstalling it and then installing again.Inferno is beautiful,okay,but with only 15 missions in the 1st chapter I don't have so much to do.My created campaign also requires the normal mode.I don't know what LGM means,but I think that what Flipside said is true.
-
Is the launcher confugured tyo use a mod which isnt there anymore? That could sometimes cause tabular conflicts..
-
As far as Fred is concerned at least, iirc, it doesn't use the Launchers -Mod setting. Check your shortcut to Fred and make sure it hasn't got -mod Inferno or anything at the end.
Yeah, if you drop the file into the main folder, it starts to take over the universe, I'm not sure why you are getting the Vesuvius model missing though, maybe someone from Inferno can help here?
-
umm did you remove just the inferno mod from there?? Cuz i played Inferno then ripped it out and all worked fine. oh wait where exactely did u install Infermo?
-
Follow the instructions here (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/karajorma/FAQ/installingfs2_open.html#upgrade). Just don't actually install FS2_Open and you'll have a clean retail install.
-
Karajorma I have already installed FS Open thanks to your FAQ yesterday.
(The Satis and the Hecate are pretty ugly however,and the game sometimes become slow,expecially when firing beams).With FS Open the problem seems to be resolved,the main campaign is playable,but FRED can't open old missions anymore.My campaign contained about 30 missions,losing them is a pity.
I don't know,I'll try to check the shortcuts and solve the problem as you all said.Thanks for pay attention on my problem.
I have installed Inferno in the main FS2 folder.It works properly(but not with FS Open)and no bugs are reported.
One more thing I don't understand:FS Open is the only way to enhance the graphic quality?Mods like Inferno require the old 99 graphic?How to make my old created missions playable with FS Open?
-
Use the old FRED2 exe, :D
-
altri italiani nn ce ne sono?
Wow! Finalmente trovo altri italiani!
Sto facendo con un mio amico una campagna per FS2 usando il mod Inferno patchato per SCP. Per ora siamo solo all'inizio. Se qualcuno di voi vuole aiutarci, mandatemi una mail!

There's no reason why you'd have to. I can already see several possible solutions for your problem but I haven't been watching the thread closely enough to pick the correct one for you. So if you'll answer my questions I'll be more than happy to tell you what to do :)
1) Have you followed the instructions in my guide exactly? Inferno, the media VPs and any other mods you have installed should be in their own folders. Your FS2 folder should look like this.
(http://homepage.ntlworld.com/karajorma/FAQ/FAQ-Images/Installing/CleanFSOInstall.jpg)
(except without the rar file, with folders for Inferno and your other mods and maybe with a different name for FS2_Open).
If you have any differences from that report them now.
2) Do your missions require Inferno to run on or were they designed for FS2/some other mod?
-
Status update:the problem was in the shortcuts.Now Inferno works with SCP,and I guess I can't play single missions because I changed the main data folder name(dataOld),so the mission path becomes incorrect.
I'm not using my computer,I'll try to change the dataOld name to data,and data to dataOld(the normal data folder contains player and freddocs folders,as karajorma told me).The path will probably work.
As long as I use FS Open,there aren't problems.Thank you all and of course thanks to my massive IQ. :cool:
[ITA] Anche io sto creando una campagna.Se siete interessati alla trama o volete darmi una mano,mandate una mail all'indirizzo [email protected] è il mio,ma per ora è l'unico tramite il quale potrette contattarmi.
Ad ogni modo vorrei comunque dare una mano a voi,per creare le vostre di campagne.Con l'estate ho moltissimo tempo libero e beh credo di sfornare altre 50 missioni!!! :pimp:
Ma la vostra campagna è in italiano?Servirà un membro di lingua inglese per eventuali correzioni?Si possono mandare le missioni via e-mail?Oppure,qualcuno di voi ha un sito internet?Se sì,potrebbe accogliere le mie missioni per mostrarle all'intera community di HLP?
-
La nostra campagna sarà in inglese, per permettere a tutta la comunità di HLP di giocarci. Ho già postato una breve descrizione nel thread di Skippy dove sono elencate le campagne attualmente rilasciate o su cui si sta lavorando (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,20956.msg821968.html#new, post #547). Se ti interessa una descrizione (provvisoria) più dettagliata posso mandartela via e-mail. A dir la verità è un progetto piuttosto ambizioso, e abbiamo seri dubbi sul fatto di riuscire a finirla per intero. Per ora stiamo facendo il primo episodio di 7 missioni, e abbiamo finito la prima dopo 2 settimane...
Per quanto riguarda un sito dove pubblicare le missioni, anche noi abbiamo lo stesso problema. Se riuscissi a trovare un sito di free hosting potrei anche farne uno io, però non so come rendere scaricabili i file...
-
I'm not using my computer,I'll try to change the dataOld name to data,and data to dataOld(the normal data folder contains player and freddocs folders,as karajorma told me).The path will probably work.
A more sensible choice would simply be to copy anything from DataOld\Missions that ends in .fs2 or .fc2 to Data\Missions.
IF you had mods installed in your old data folder cancelling the change to DataOld will bring them back and possibly break FS2 (That's why I told people to rename them in the first place :) ).

dunque per far scaricare dei file, puoi usare il sito di filefront (http://manage.hosted.filefront.com/), farti un account e uppare i file ke vuoi fare scaricare, e poi li linki da qualke parte ... per esempio si potrebbe creare un forum italiano su freespace2 come punto di riferimento italiano sul mondo freespace, chissà magari quanti italiani ci sono in giro :)

Grazie per le informazioni. Ne terrò presente quando avrò finito la campagna... ehm... il primo episodio della campagna. Per quanto riguarda il forum: sono capace di fare un sito, ma non sono capace di fare un forum. E poi bisognerebbe trovare un dominio che ci hosta...
-
be il forum si fa su uno di quei siti ke offrono i forum gratuiti come forumfree e altri ( http://www.forumfree.net/ ) e si puo fare un forum generico su freespace2 italiano e diverse sezioni tra cui quella per il modding e le campagne :)
potrei anche crearlo io se so che verrà frequentato
-
È piuttosto evidente che, nel caso si faccia un forum italiano di FreeSpace, non arriveremo mai ai livelli di HLP...
Però ho notato che esiste un forum polacco di FreeSpace (http://www.freespace.pl/forum/) che ha 186 utenti registrati. Non credo sia difficile riuscire a raggiungere quel numero... Si potrebbe fare pubblicità al forum italiano chiedendo a tutti gli utenti italiani di HLP di mettere l'indirizzo del forum nella loro firma :D
Ci sono però dei problemi:
1) I moderatori devono essere persone competenti in grado di risolvere i problemi tecnici posti sul forum (esatto, sto cercando di evitare di fare il moderatore... ::))
2) Bisognerà mettere una parte in inglese per permettere ai guru di FreeSpace di aiutare la comunità italiana
3) Avendo notato che i guru di FreeSpace sono già registrati a tutti i forum attualmente esistenti di FreeSpace, credo che chiedergli di dare assistenza anche su un altro forum sia per loro un impegno in più (anche se spero di essere smentito)
Boh... nonostante tutto il discorso che ho appena fatto non saprei ancora cosa dire a proposito di un forum italiano di FreeSpace. Vedi un po' tu cosa fare...
-
Ma non è necessario creare un forum di FS2!Il nostro problema è semplicemente quello di postare le campagne.
Se uno di noi riesce a creare una sua homepage,basterà mandare le missioni a lui(o lei) in modo da avere un link da dare agli utenti HLP.
la mia campagna,l'ho già detto,conta 30+ missioni ma è tutta roba grossa(nel senso che si tratta di pezzi fondamentali della trama,non di semplici missioni di intermezzo)anche come originalità.Ho creato ad esempio una missione,chiamata "Decisions" dove dall'abitacolo del caccia si compiono decisioni che andranno ad influenzare la trama(per l'esattezza si può entrare nella ribellione di turno,SLA nel mio caso,con conseguenti missioni contro la GTVA).Avendo già provato campagne del calibro si SAH,Inferno,Homesick,Solar Wars ecc. posso dire che per il momento non vi è nulla di simile!
Ora sto combattendo con la voglia di rompere il monitor....con L'SCP i cannoni rallentano il gioco in modo vertiginoso!
Vedrò di mettere un'antemprima della campagna qui su HLP.
Ricordo a tutti che sono disponibile ad aiutare nella creazione di nuove campagne,di provarle e di dare consultazione(ragazzi se avete creato solo così poche missioni da soli credo che vi serva il mio aiuto!).Eh sì con l'estate c'è tempo per far devastare l'Universo!
L'indirizzo e-mail corretto è [email protected] ,prima ho sbagliato a scriverlo.Aspetto le vostre mail!
-
Sembra intressante la tua campagna. Potresti mandarmela via e-mail a darthdysko<at> libero <dot> it? Grazie.
Per quanto riguarda la pubblicazione di una campagna, il consiglio di YemminatoR mi sembra buono:
dunque per far scaricare dei file, puoi usare il sito di filefront (http://manage.hosted.filefront.com/), farti un account e uppare i file ke vuoi fare scaricare, e poi li linki da qualke parte
Per esempio potresti pubblicare un release thread nella sezione campagne di HLP, come molti hanno fatto.
Inoltre, ti manderò via e-mail la trama della mia campagna, che cerca di sfruttare tutte le possibilità offerte dalle navi del mod Inferno. Magari riusciamo in collaborazione a finirla. C'è un piccolo problema: con l'estate non ho molto tempo per devastare l'Universo, dato che ho uno stage d'orientamento di 2 settimane da mattina a sera e subito dopo parto per 2 mesi...
-
Ragazzi,Italiani e non,cerco aiuto per la mia campagna!
Almeno dal punto di vista della trama,visto che non avendo Freespace 1 non conosco molti dei sistemi nei quali il gioco è ambientato.
A Beta Cygni,per esempio,ho messo i Vasudans(tradurlo in italiano verrebbe bruttissimo,<Vasudani?>).Ribos è scelto come luogo d'arrivo per il primo Sathanas,l'SJ Khorne,ma non si sa da dove(uncharted jump node?).
Se qualcuno mi vuole aiutare,basti che mi informi su questa discussione.Diciamo che se è italiano,è meglio:ci si capisce e si procede più in fretta.
[ENG] I've got a question for all experienced modders here in HLP.
1)Were I can get a TBL editor?And a VP one? The TBL editor by Metaldestroyer isn't complete...
2)I have no intention of dividing my campaign in two episodes.Because the second part presents more new ships and weapons(I know that the dimension of a TBL file is limited)because it's <ambientata> 5 years later,I had an idea:put a middle alone mission between the two parts,where you are told to exit from the game and substitute the first ships tbl with the second,the first weapon tbl with the second etc. etc. Of course in this mission you fly alone a fighter which is present in both tbls.Is it a good idea?Will it work?
-
1) You already have the table editor used by 90% of modders installed. It's called Notepad :p Basically Metal Destroyer's editor will be a nice piece of software once it's finished but the majority of people find a simple text editor is all they need. As for a VP editor you can get VPView from the tools pages in my FAQ but that won't allow you to create VP files only extract and view files in thim. There are a few VP creation tools around. Check the HLP downloads page.
2) I'd advise against this. You're basically sabotaging the replay and ease of use of your program in order to do something much better achieved by simply releasing the campaign as two chapters. If they player has to exit the game to change tables why not simply have them change mods from Chapter 1 to Chapter 2?
-
KARMA is the most senior Italian forumite, project leader of the Star Wars Conversion project, and superb modeller. He isn't around very often.
To show us some of your missions, you need to upload them first and give us a direct link. If you do not know the how-tos, just ask.
If you define "senior" as "italian hlp forumer who has been the longest around", that would actually be me (...as if that counted anything...). But if you define "senior" as "oldest age" you're probably right.
:D
Enough OT.
-
But notepad is blocco note?
I mean,that program that allows you to write with that strange design?
If I rename the notepad file "ships" and put it into the table folder I'll have a nice mod or not?TBl files have multiple sections,such as ship classes and default ecc. With notepad will be the same?
I already have the VPView,i'll check the download section out...
Question for the mod(erators):If someone creates an Italian community here in HLP,of course you won't understand what we'll post in italian...you'll delete the discussion or what?!?
I now what do you intend for sabotaging the replay,but releasing the Campaign(there are 50 missions at the moment)divided in two chapters will allow players to play the second part before the first,they won't understand a thing and they'll know at once what I put far in the first part.
The Command Briefing of the first mission of the second part says:
"You were in coma during these five years,because of the powerful disturbation generated by the SLD Ampharion that destroyed the GTD Valahia you were ordered to assist and all your squadmates" ecc...We are talking of about five years later,but in an unique storyline contest.It's not like SAH,where dividing the story in four chapetrs was possible.
What I said before is possible?Can I insert a mission at the end of the first part,where the player is suggested to exit from FS2 and change the tbls?(of course in this mission you'll fly alone a fighter present in both the chapters)
-
1) I have no idea what swapping the tables halfway through a campaign would do but my bet is that it wouldn't be pretty. If I remember the code correctly from when I did the team loadout changes the game works out what ships should be available in a campaign mission based simply on their position in the ships table. Unless you put the ships you were allowing in the same slots you could easily end up with a mission with no useable ships or weapons.
2) You're assuming that people will follow your instructions to the letter. Experience of troubleshooting on this board will teach you that given the download you're suggesting about 1 in 3 people will fail to read your instructions and simply install the tables before playing the first mission.
If you don't believe me go check the Transcend release thread and see how many people posted having problems with the fade SEXP despite being clearly warned that they needed a very new build to run it. And that was for something fairly obvious (which this certainly isn't).
3) If you bundle the campaign in two folders called Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 and someone is stupid enough to play chapter 2 first they deserve every moment of confusion they get over the plot.
Hell you've already revealed that your campaign has two parts and there are at least 20 FREDders on this board alone capable of opening your VP file and playing any mission they want to in any order they care to. We won't cause new campaigns are a semi-rare treat and playing them in the wrong order would spoil that fun. I very much doubt anyone will attempt to spoiler themselves over the later missions and your attitude to those who would should be **** 'em.
As for the tabling I do indeed mean notepad. The program that was installed with your copy of Windows. Follow the link at the top of the page to the wiki and you'll find an explaination of what all the stuff in the tables means in the development section.
-
If the player flights the Ulysses?It is the first of the list,and even if it isn't used in the second part..well I'll put it in the ships tbl just for the middle mission.A player can also try the chapter 2 when he isn't able to accomplish a mission in the first chapter because it's too difficult...
The readme will explain in the details that the player has simply to put the Chapter 1 files in their respective folder when he plays the Southern Cross for the first time...Further explanations can be given before putting the link for downloading...
I'm using the notepad to modify ships but there are problems regarding changed turrets(from gun to missile and viceversa).They just remain the type of turrets they were!I modified them with modelview...maybe I should use PCS...
The system also crashes since I put modified weapons...I don't know why,I have just changed their names and damage parameters...
And how I can play this MODs with SCP?A conversion is a big matter?
-
Gun and missile turrets are the same thing. The game doesn't care if you shoot missiles from a gun turret or visa versa. Most modder use the two simply for organisation purposes only if at all.
To change the turret type you need to change from PBanks to SBanks in the ships table and specify a different weapon.
As for swapping tables I still don't think it's a good idea.
-
Thanks for the PBanks/SBanks.
At the moment,swapping the tables is the only thing to do.If the game crashes of course I'll divide the campaign in two parts...
How about converting my MODs so I can use them with SCP?
