Title: Freespace2 Planets in Celestia
Post by: klightspeed on January 05, 2008, 12:37:02 pm
I've been working on an add-on to Celestia with the planets and some stuff like Enif Station and 3rd Fleet Headquarters.
I am ignoring stuff like the difference between Freespace Capella and Real Capella.

I've created a thread on the shatters.net forums (http://www.shatters.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11845) showing it.

You can download the add-on from http://klightspeed.killerwolves.net/freespace2.tar.gz (http://klightspeed.killerwolves.net/freespace2.tar.gz).
Due to not knowing whether I am permitted to distribute the textures and models with the add-on, the add-on must be built from the textures and models from Freespace2.
Note that to use the add-on, you will need to extract the textures from Freespace2 and possibly the media VPs to freespace2/textures/medres and the models to freespace2/models. With the textures and models in place, and with the above tarball extracted, you will need to "make textures" and "make models" from the freespace2 directory.

Here's the GTD Orion wreck portrayed in the opening cutscene of Freespace2:

I can't really see anyone on these forums forbidding you from using the high poly versions of anything in the media VPs for this. As for the :v: ships, well we've been distributing mods that involved altered versions for over 10 years now and I don't remember them ever saying anything. Since this is a free download I can't really see them doing anything now either.

I've only created the hole in it so far. I haven't added any of the girders or anything.
there are better wrecks for download b.t.w.
Where can I find one?

BTW, I've started using Subversion to keep track of this add-on.
The add-on can be browsed at http://svn.killerwolves.net/cgi-bin/viewvc/freespace (http://svn.killerwolves.net/cgi-bin/viewvc/freespace), and can be checked out using subversion at svn://svn.killerwolves.net/freespace

Thankyou.
Would I be able to get your permission to use it in this add-on?

YOU DON'T NEED TO ASK PERMISION TO USE OR MODIFY MY STUFF - USE IT FREELY!

Oops. Should have ready your sig.
