Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly is Freespace Zone?
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

Ah, well since I have never had to download FS2, I wouldn't have known. :)

Hunter, you cannot legally host Freespace or ST - their source codes have not been released, and they are not abandonware, sorry.

 
so sue me LOL

 
jk...


... volition is giving me problems about my freespacezone site, heres what they said in the email

My name is Mark Allender, Studio Technical Director for Volition.  We
recently ran across

www.freespacezone.com

While we appreciate the attention and praise for FreeSpace 2, I do not
believe that it is legal to distribute the CD images of the 3 CD's for the
game.  It is my belief that the EULA for FreeSpace 2 prohibits distribution
of the binary data that accompanies the game.  We have only released the
source code.  In fact, not all of the source code was released -- certain
sections of the code were omitted.

I would respectfully ask that you remove the ISO images from your site.  If
you have any further questions or comments, please feel free to contact me.

-------------------------------------------------------------
I told them that I only wish to distribute the game, no source code included, I also asked for the contact information of EULA so I can try to make this "legal" threw volition

That's a first. Might be a new staff member? Anyway, the EULA does actually state that you are allowed to create free copies of Freespace 2 and give them to friends, as long as you do it for free.

Also, if you do host FS1, I won't sue you, but there's a chance someone else will.

 
lol, well i probably will only host the FS1ST torrent in that case.

I've told you enough times. He can't legally host FS2 either. I guess this point has finally been proved now. :rolleyes:

Hunter. Good luck trying to get :v: to allow you to legally distribute the game. And Kudos to :v: for not simply sending the typical cease and desist letter that most companies would have.

Bad idea. If you do this, don't announce it publicly and for the love of :v: CHANGE THE FILENAMES.

One would wonder why the hell :v: simply doesn't buy the rights back from Interplay. The way Interplay's going, :v: can afford 5k for the rights, and Interplay will be happy to get an extra 5k, amirite?

 
Good work Hunter. Spread the happiness.

Legally if you can. Else it might cause you sadness. Which would make me sad.

Annorax: There's alot to be said for whatever parental or creative feelings :V: (can't remember how to do that, that is unless it turns out ok after I post) might have for the FS series but they've got to be realists too. Like alot of people have been saying, space shooters are pretty much dead, at least at the minute, and it could be suicidal releasing such a game. Or at the very least an almost guaranteed failure.

Plus would THQ be willing to advertise it anymore than Interplay?
Watch out for the Guns! They'll getcha!

Perhpas :v: (it's a lower case v) & THQ would at least distribute the game, even if they don't advertise it.  At the moment you can't even buy it other than on eBay.

First of all, if you're planning to email Allender, it's a stupid idea. he's not going to change his mind.

Second, you, sir, are just plain retarded. Turn out good? Come on, man. They're threatening to sue him (note, i said sue, not compliment him) about this. They DON'T like it. I dunno where you got this idea, but it's a half-assed idea. :p

Well in reality I think it would be Interplay that got to sue, not Volition, unless the license has already changed hands.  :v: gets no say over distribution, unfortunately.  That's probably why it wasn't a cease and desist, too.
