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! 

Yeah pretty much! I'm pretty hopeless at this stuff myself, (I searched ages for a site to download the images, until I found that site, Bit torrent wasn't an option for me either). But if you have the latest version of Nero, it shouldn't be a problem. If it complains about file not recognised, (I think my version of nero complained that it required an iso file to burn an image) and what you have is a bin file, you'll need something like PowerISO, which will convert the file for you. I hope you have plenty of HD space, you'll need 1.7gb just for the files your DL'ing then you'll need another 2gb for the conversion process

Good Luck

ahh cool thanks a lot mate....still a bit shaky abt what an image is as opposed to just burning all the files I unzip....sorry abt the barrage of questions, last one i promise!

LOL



A lot of the links don't work because we changed servers a while ago, so some of them are dead.

Does anyone know if ShivanSPS's torrent had the cutscenes included?

[Wobble73]

Read the help files that come with Nero about Cd images, that could prob explain better than I. In fact i'm not even sure you unzip these files? I think they are in BIN format, (a packed file like a zip,rar or cab file), they just need to be converted to ISO format. and then the images need to be burned to CD, like I said, read NERO's help on this, I'm at work, not on my home computer so can't really tell you how at the mo' something to do with an extra button on the toolbar that says burn disk image or summat?

I'm sure it did Flipside, however never used it myself, but I seem to remember it stating it did.

By the way how come I never, ever got a welcome to HLPBB

I cannot believe that all these replies, and no-one has suggested getting shivan's 1.8 torrent. It has all the cutscenes, the FS1 Port and the FS1 cutscenes, along with some of the better campaigns. And it has the Source Code Project upgrade, which this person has not said anything about and he really needs to use if he's just playing FS for the first time, since it makes the whole game look up to date.

Happy?

hey thanks for the welcome Flipside! now I feel right at home here, hehe.....didnt think getting the cutscenes would be this complicated though!...and since everyones talking abt this Bit Torrent which I have never used......is it worth getting it.....hmmm

[Wobble73]

 

BTW Nik, I recommend that if you want to play freespace1 you use the Freespaceport 3.0.3 and the Freespacemissions.vp, just put these in a seperate folder in your FS2 folder and choose them as a Mod

Neo, it seems that Nik is unsure of Bit torrents like myself therefore I didn't recommend Shivans torrent, although this is the best route for a newb I suppose. Can anyone post a link to thread for him to check out! And maybe explain bit torrents for him, I know its summat to do with Emule or summat.

[Flipside]

It's certainly worth getting, but you need to be aware that it's a P2P client, some paranoid types will assume that just because you have it installed that you are using it to download such things as copyrighted movies, music and games, though that's not what Bit Torrent was designed for, that's mostly what it gets used for.

There might be a way of simply getting the movies that I haven't thought of though, and the Torrent would take a good few days to download, it's not as fast as an FTP transfer. Your best bet is to get the Torrent rolling and then, if you get a better option, you can always cancel the download.

if you just want to mount the images, download daemon tools, way better than poweriso or nero's virtual drives...

Now you're just confusing him LOL!!!!

[Nik]

 

[Flipside]

LOL Mounting images really isn't required, better just to install the thing and have done with it, you don't need the disc in the drive to run SCP

By the way, try something like...

hehe thanks for the input so far guys, .....i will let y'all know as soon as I am able to get the cutscenes sorted......what I wouldn't give for a link like FS2ALLCutscenes.avi or something......lol!

Once you're up and running, you have to submit a 45 mission campaign, Its the law.

[Flipside]

Well, wait till some of the other guys get on, which'll probs be a little later on, hopefully someone will be able to give you a faster way of getting them. The advantage of the BT version is that it contains just about everything, and most of it's the latest version. Though you'll probs need to get the latest version of the .exe file when it's done.

If you have any problems, feel free to ask

[neoterran]

Look if he really doesn't know much, all he has to do is go to www.utorrent.com and install that (a bit torrent client for windows) and use that to download the torrent, which can be found on this website somewhere. that will solve his cutscene problem, freespace 1 problem, not understanding how to upgrade freespace 2 to SCP problem and it'll make everything look awesome too ;0P
