 Let's have a vote, who wants a conversion of the FS1 missions to FS2?  (or has anyone done it before?)

I'd love it!  I've never played FS1.  It'd give the game more replay value for me.

Can I vote twice?

 
Didn't we have this discussion  already and it got shot down for legal reasons (aka; unliscenced distribution of intellectual property)

I told you that It would be done by November, well, mostly anyway...

I'm working on something new... shhhhh, it's a seceret.

No to both.
Why? Cause some people are just to lazy to BUY the thing. It's only <$10

but it'll have better graphics in FS2! besides, you can make it if you don't sell it.

That's not entirely true, its that very thing that got places like NAPSTER in trouble.  We would basically be providing FS1 to people for free (as long as they have a copy of FS2 that is,) thus depriving Interplay (or whoever currently holds the liscense) from the income of that sale.  The question is, would they care? (concidering the ongoing battle over the source-code, they just might).

Personally, I'd be all for it if we could get permission from the liscense holder to do so.  But I'm relucant to risk getting HLP in trouble over it.

I'm sorry guys, but jonskowitz is right. Adam flat out said no, basically - it's intellectual property that is still up for sale elsewhere, and we'd be putting it up for free. Pirating, essentially. Sorry, no can do.

For the one's that didn't read the whole topic *toughts about alpha1*
---------------------------------------------

I got a repley from Adam Pletcher read B!tches  

1.Would it be legal to put the conversion up for D/L?

I'm almost certain this would not be legal.  It would essentially be
offering FS2 content to people that haven't paid for that product.

2.The FS1 .ani files are 200x150.But the FS2 ani files are
wider do they
need to be resized,in order to view them corectly?And would
there be any
quality loss if you resized them?

Yes, you would have to resize them.  You would lose some quality, sure, but
it depends on how it was scaled.

3.Can the FS1 missions be saved as a .FS2 file whit out Fred2
errors? like
unknown ships.

I doubt it.  The formats differ in many ways, not just what ships they name.

4.If this is legal to put up FS1 cutscene's up for D/L? (Doubt it)

Definitely not.
