I was wondering appealing to volition to create a patch for all the modders and campaign makers (not to mension the mission makers) for freespace 2 so that it could improve the modderability of the game. But just when i thought about writing the email and start chatting to Adam (V) but then i realised what would want to be changed / improved so come on tell me what would u like to be in it?

does   have the rights to make a patch? or would they have to get permission from Intercrap to do it?
I know the ST: Armada Dev team made a patch after Activision broke them up... but they were still under employment by them...

It's not going to happen.

[Shrike]

So negative.....

Unfortunately, probably quite true.  I seriously doubt that you could get a patch from   unless one of the guys did it as a personal, unofficial project..... and the likelyhood of that is slim at best.

Why not? there's a guy at digatal anvil, he's working on a mission editor fpr Starlancer during his spare time. Not going fast tho...

[Shrike]

Yeah, and SL is like a year newer than FS2, and they've been waiting for that mission editor for like 10 months or something, and they're still waiting.  I'm not saying it's impossible, but you'd have to find one of the programmers at   who can and more important would do something like this... really, they've moved on.  Don't let that stop you, stranger things have happened, after all the worst they can do is say 'no'.

[Ace]

Yes   could develop the patch, but it would have to go through Interplay QA in order to be official.

*That* is the tough part...

I'd like to see numerous limitations removed, such as:

- player must be Alpha 1
- squadrons can only have 4 (or 6) ships
- targeting laser should be able to rack up kills
- KB/entry limit for ships.tbl and weapons.tbl

A number of other stuff as well:

- Scroll buttons in the Command Briefing text area!
- Enable the player to end a mission in a fighterbay as well as jumping out.
- A command-line option that will load up the specified mission immediatly; for dragging-'n-dropping missions onto the EXE, to help out all of us mission designers.
- A SEXP for certain actions depending on what fighter the player chose to fly.
- A SEXP to instruct capital ships to barrel-roll a certain number of degrees.
- Documentation on the "debug" SEXP, as well as including the "grant-promo/medal" SEXP's in the menus.
- Support for animated textures???
- Explanation of the various flags in the .TBL's

That's all I can think of ATM...

Id like to see us able to add our own cutscene codecs in instead of having to rely on that peice o crap SMK player.

Plus more extensibility in the beams department and perhaps the ability to put glow bitmaps on anything (make the shivan ships look waaay cooler anyway)

I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired!!

[Nico]

mmh... I think you're asking more for an addon than a patch here...

[Falcon X]

They also may be rusty on the code....

[Vertigo1]

Another thing that would be nice is having lens flares applied to weapons (ie: weapons like a photon torpedo).

Actually, you can!   You'd just have to re-texture every model in the game with a wireframe texture.

I wish they could include the option to allow the selection of enemy wings through the comm menu. Ie. Beta wing, attack Taurus wing, instead of Beta 1 take Taurus 1, Beta 2 take Taurus 2, etc. That bugged the hell out of me.

fixing the green colour bug for voodoo cards so I can use that in my models. That's a bug and should be corrected, after all.
