Hmm... you have the SCP?  ;7  If not, may I suggest Turey's Installer?  (Link under "Walkthrough" in my signature.)

Greetings. First of all, seriously. Don't listen to Titan. Next, something useful. There are a number of funky things behind the Useful stuff link in my sig, which you can use once you've acquired SCP. Including but not limited to: LightSpeed's pretty Nebula backgrounds, Bobboau's stylish beams, a fixed training mission for the FSPort and a few HTL ships you can't get with the mediavps. Check them out and get 7-Zip for extracting them, if you don't already have it.

You really could use a HTML page\forum post to explain how to use some of those things.

Be warned though, that's kinda how my FAQ got started. :)

Yeah the SCP is the Source Code Project.  If you have DSL/Cable/Something decently fast, use Turey's Installer to download 3.6.9 (the latest version) and you will be pleasantly surprised (quite an understatement actually).  The installer is very easy to use and the thread is stickied at the top of the General FreeSpace Discussion page.  Have Fun!

EDIT:  and the Installer includes the option to download many of the best user made campaigns all pimped out for the SCP

Yeh, installing FSO isn't a big deal. Just follow the instructions of the walkthrough jr2 mentioned and you'll be fine. Just remember to install it over your FreeSpace 2 installation so that you don't download anything unnecessary.

first mobius, now lobo? whys everyone writing in funky colors?
Title: Re: Newby
Post by: Jeff Vader on October 25, 2007, 02:13:40 pm
I write in Red because:

1) I'm an Inferno Fanboy;
2) Red has always been one of my favourite colours;
3) The Ferrari is Red, and Kimi Raikkonnen won the Championship;
4) The third colour of the Italian flag is Red;

:P
I write in blue because:

1) I'm protesting against Mobius' colroful texts;
2)I like blue;
3)Lada is a fine piece of hardware and their logo has blue;
4)One of the only two colors in the Finnish flag is blue.

My eyes are Blue and I like them, so you're just making me happy with your coloured posts :P

Fine then, I'm protesting against your eyes, too.

I'm not writing in flaming text because I can't be bothered.

We can't have avatars, but we can make HLP a better place for you and for me.

Maybe we could have light blue backgrounds and really neon pink text as default. That'd hurt some eyes.

Flipside is around... :blah:

But seriously, this is a good idea. Scrolling pages full of coloured posts is fantastic! :lol:

You know it's just a matter of time before someone comes down here and locks the thread...

Oh, and when Flipside pops up and locks the thread, I can edit this post to say "told ya so"!

Told ya so. (sort of)

Maybe the thread has taken on a new topic....pretty font colors...so there's no need for it to be locked...but everyone hide when flipside comes around anyways

Yeah, and once we get caught, we can start pointing at Mobius, yelling 'He started it!'.

Does it count if I lock it instead?

Quit the spam guys.
