It seems all the links I have tried don't work.....I got FS2 from Underdog, and I really need the cutscenes but the main link (freespace oracle) where they are meant to be has exceeded its bandwith! Could any of you guys help me out with getting the cutscenes??? would be really appreciated. I really hope there is still a way to get them cos it would be a shame to miss out on the experience.  Cheers!

Im sure that someone will post some advice on that, in the meantime..

[Nik]

Thanks for the welcome Colonal......I stumbled upon FS 2 literally a few days ago.....am ashamed callin myself a long time gamer and I just found this gem....

I used to love X-Wing back in the day, but just from the tutorials on FS2 I could tell this one is smthing special.....so I simply cannot start playing the game proper without the cutscenes!

[Colonol Dekker]

Most of the good stuff is ingame anyway,
In the meantime, Download the FS port from the main page (http://www.hard-light.net) youll find a link to it,  And play through FS1 (no cutscenes needed) itll walk you into FS2 nicely.

[Nik]

So all i need is the freespace 'port' and I can start playing FS 1?  as u can see im a total noob, ...and yeap that would be an excellent transition into FS2, but I do need those cutscenes real bad!

After 2 mins of search, this might help you out...

(FAQS in the siggy by the way)

[Nik]

Thanks Dekker I checked it out but the link on that page directs me back to that same Kajorama's freespace portal where the download cutscenes link doesnt work anymore......I really hope someone knows where to find a working link!

Erk? Sorry mate i had no idea, I own RETAIL so ive never neede to DL them, It cant cost much on play or amazon nowadays, I got the pair of them a few years back to replace a damaged FS1 cd for 9.99, I bought original for £30 back in 99.

Sorry to tell ya but the original CD's are going for upto £100 on Ebay best getting the Cd images an burning them! Cutscenes are included! If you have a fast enough connection that is you can get them on bit-torrent.

But why pay for them when you can download em for free?

An who the hell is Avalon interactive??

[Nik]

surely there must be a way to get hold of the cutscenes via a working link if the game is still available for free.........?

[Colonol Dekker]

Im just saying  Wobble73  why pay 100 on ebay whemn they're available guaranteed for a fraction of the price  
If Bit Torrent is feasible for ya Nik, by all means fill your boots  

[Wobble73]

Fairy Nuff! 

[Nik]

haha im using windows xp and have a reasonably fast connection but being the noob that I am Colonol I have never used bit torrent so i dunno if I can use those files mate!

[Wobble73]

Don't know who's this site is but this is where I got my images from

ftp://ftp.iinet.net.au/games/freebies/Freespace2/

[Colonol Dekker]

I dont use it myself the last thing like that i used Was Kazaa back in 02.
Nik do whatever Wobble tells ya m8 and you wont go wrong 

[Nik]

Wobble u the man! so this is just a straight download and unzip and i get the full game with cutscenes?

[Wobble73]

Glad to be of help, however, you don't just unzip them, you have to either mount them as virtual drives (?? i don't know how, but there are way??) or your hard drive or use nero to burn IMAGES to cd's. Note i said Images, not just the files. You may have to convert them to Bin files or from BIn files to ISO's, can't remenber which but I downloaded PowerISO to do this, a free little app, that requests registration, I chose Register later and it all seemed to work fine!

[Nik]

ok so by Images I can just burn these to cd using Nero....after unzipping the files yeah......I suck at this kind of stuff as I was telling Dekker.....I hope this is not too complex a process!
