Im new at this... where do i start????
Hi everybody, first of all i want to say Good job!! for all you're doing. And second, i have the three FS retail versions but im kinda bored with 'em. So my question to all of you is: Where can i start digging for new things at this site? I also used to do some programming many years ago using C++....... ok i know i'm too waaaaaaay behind all of you and you're probably nodding at this right now, but i know that it is never too late to catch up so... any advice?... I would REEEEALLY love to get involved (regardless of how much it could take).


Greetings.   :)

If you'd like to start running the Source Code Project, the best way to do so would be to use Turey's installer.  If you'd like to take a crack at the programming side of things, you can head here to learn how to snag a copy of the source code.

If you need help using Turey's Installer, there is a link to a walkthrough in my signature. Also, install OpenAL (link also in my signature).

Make sure to check everything on the Installer Lobo mentioned, except for the Mac and Linux stuff. Point  it to your existing FreeSpace2 directory, to save downloading a lot of files.
