Freespace and HLP are mentioned in a article on swedish gaming site. The article is about old space sims that are now free to download.
http://www.gamereactor.se/artiklar/9227/Det+v%E5ras+f%F6r+rymdspelen/#1415643
The article is in swedish but they mention HLP as a central site for Freespace.

Cool... wish i could see it (damn surfcontrol... :mad:)
-
Nice to see we got a mention. Although, not the most flattering shot of FS2, to be honest.
-
Nice to see the mention, but sorry to be off topic here; Bob-san, please do something with that sig. It's too big and too annoying.
-
I toned down the annoying part of it, but i'm keeping the link to Kara's FAQ and Snail's 7 commandments...
-
yeah, some people were jerks about sigs so I turned them off so I don't see them. I still keep my modestly annoying signature, though. it contains wisdom.
by the bys, isn't gamereactor some magazine too? I seem to recall some publication of that name, or a similar one.
-
Kode: I hope you're not calling me a jerk. I happen to like my sig very much....
Anyone have a translation? I cannot read Swedish; I can only eat Swedish Fish... :nod:
-
He probably refers to the people using marquee style in the sig.
But when your sig is substantially larger than your message, something's wrong.

yeah, stuff like that. And I can't tell if bob-san is a jerk from his signature as I can't see it.

I guess I can do a quick and sloppy translation of the fs2 part of it:
Freespace started as a space adventure featuring lots of action and possibilities for gigantic space battles, but after some hassle between volition and distributor Interplay, THQ took over the developers and the result was, surprisingly enough, that the source code was released freely. Since then, Freespace has literally exploded as a flexible game engine for all kinds of space games, and there are almost professional versions of Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica, Wing Commander, among other modifications. The Freespace fan headquarters is at Hard Light, and even if they do not presently have any direct downloads, it is a good place to start looking for it.
Yes, the article has a few factual errors, but frankly, I don't care enough to correct them.

Seems like FS does all the PR work for itself.

i used one of those online machine translators, give it a url the original language and my language andt it translates every 3rd word and fugck to grammer, but i kinda understood it :D
-
Star Control 2 got a mention too......

Gamereactor.se the publisher of Scandinavias biggest gaming magazine wrote an article about old space simulator games that are now free to download, and Freespace is one of them that is mentioned. You can find the article here (http://"http://www.gamereactor.se/artiklar/9227/Det+v%E5ras+f%F6r+rymdspelen/"). Observe that the article is written in swedish, thatswhy you can find a translation of the text in this thread. (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,43886.msg897941.html#msg897941")

So we should expect to hear a lot of
"I have a problem with the SCP. Bork! Bork! Bork!"
Or maybe not.
-
Topics merged.
-
Ooh. Frontier! I tried to get hold of the geometry for that game once to mod it. Unfortunately the geometry consisted of an array of numbers embedded in the code ;)
-
Glad to see that FS was mentioned and was first on the list no less.

I think we should make one big noobfriendly DOWNLOAD FS2 OPEN HERE button with link to ShivanSPS's torrent and Turey's installer or some guide on the mainpage. Many noobs are confused what to download and its causing bugs in their FreeSpaces. If i was new here i would be confused too. :nod:
