what i need to play fs2 open
Hello im new to the fs open and i wanted to know if the demo of freespace2 could have files added to it to make it compadible with the open launcher, or if i would have to get the full retail version of the game.
(Dont want to download much on dileup)

 
Re: what i need to play fs2 open
Dial-up?Oh... that's bad.

I don't think that Open affects the demo. So yeah, you'd need a full version.

I'd recommend ShivanSPS's download... but on a dial-up modem that'd be... longer than you want to know, I think.

Just looked, it's 2 Gigabytes. So... if you want the download, here's the link: Click here!


If you don't want to spend hours upon hours downloading it, you'd have to buy it from somewhere (like eBay). Runs for somewhere around $60.

If you're looking for small, the HotU version is exactly the same as getting the actual CDs, with the exception that it doesn't have the cutscenes. It' only 685MB.

Interestingly enough, HotU seems to have moved from www.the-underdogs.org to www.the-underdogs.info . odd.

You could just download overnight, unless you're one of those pay-as-you go schemes?

i could try to download it but three months is not over night.... 685mb is far less though.

Slow on the uptake, aren't we? ;)

<Aesaar> literary criticism is vladimir putin

<MageKing17> "There's probably a reason the code is the way it is" is a very dangerous line of thought. :P
<MageKing17> Because the "reason" often turns out to be "nobody noticed it was wrong".
(the very next day)
<MageKing17> this ****ing code did it to me again
<MageKing17> "That doesn't really make sense to me, but I'll assume it was being done for a reason."
<MageKing17> **** ME
<MageKing17> THE REASON IS PEOPLE ARE STUPID
<MageKing17> ESPECIALLY ME

<MageKing17> God damn, I do not understand how this is breaking.
<MageKing17> Everything points to "this should work fine", and yet it's clearly not working.
<MjnMixael> 2 hours later... "God damn, how did this ever work at all?!"
(...)
<MageKing17> so
<MageKing17> more than two hours
<MageKing17> but once again we have reached the inevitable conclusion
<MageKing17> How did this code ever work in the first place!?

<MageKing17> It was all working perfectly until I actually tried it on an actual mission.

All the links in the FAQ are broken, and that's the shortcut I was trying to take to get there.

Now that's just odd. I'm sure I fixed that link a while back. Oh well I've got to look at the FAQ quickly anyway today so I'll fix that one while I'm at it.
