UPDATE

Okay, I updated the readme and info files for now. What I need to do is as follows:

I am also going to get the official FSSCP readme to lauch as well after installation. [ http://fs2source.warpcore.org/readme/readme_3.6.txt is the latest one I found ]

What I was wondering is how to credit those who contibuted to the unofficial media vp???

Here is what the licence will read at the start of the install.

The last sentence should read:

IMO, mispellings on legal stuff is a big no-no.

W00t!

[q]To: "'Eddie Woo'"
Subject: RE: A feature: full download of FreeSpace 2 Open


Hi Setekh,

Thanks for your e-mail.  I was actually not familiar with the efforts to update FreeSpace 2.  This is an impressive and exciting project.  I would be happy to host the file and promote it like crazy on the front page of FilePlanet and in our weekly newsletters.  I'll do everything I can to make sure that the 8-10 million monthly visitors to FilePlanet know all about it.  :-)

I do have a few questions for you.  First, can you point me to the license agreement for the source code?  I'm sure you guys have thought all this through, but I want to at least glance at the license to be sure that the distribution would be legal.  Second, when do you think the final version will be ready for release?  And third, would you be willing to let FilePlanet Subscribers beta test it before the final release?  This would give me a reason to promote the release even more, and give a little perk to the guys who pay for the bandwidth.  I can give you and your team complementary accounts, naturally.

As cool as that is, I feel oddly resentful that their subscribers should get such a perk.

Why is beyond me. Probably something stemming from my childhood. :rolleyes:

Awesome Setekh. All you have to do now is check the fine print for any "ifs", "ands", or "buts"

:yes: :yes:

That's suprisingly and refreshingly enthusiastic.  Wow!  As far as legality is concerned, I think the only risk, as we've said all along, comes in the artwork and supporting files.  All of that hazy IP stuff.  But if they can host TC's to universes such as B5 and ST, then I can't really see the rather obscure Freespace universe being too much trouble.  Best to play it safe I know, but that's just my $.02
who needs a signature? ;)

Yes. Please. I beg of you. I'm retarded when it comes to entering information in the tables or putting the exact .pcx file where it's supposed to go. I really hope this works out!

Check the link to my FAQ below. I'm assuming you're using the HotU version and I've got a FAQ specially made for people doing that in there.

If I remember correctly you can just type in anything you want as the password as long as you've used the correct username.

Have a look at this thread for more details.
