New to this board and I have to say...
I am one happy man. Not only have you guys made the game look so much better, but there are so many new missions that you have put together, it will take me a very long time to go through all of them. And what some of the others have done with BSG, WC and and other MODS, I am going to be playing for a long time.

Further, all of the help you give has made this one of the best experiences of my life. This was always one of my favorite games and I was always sorry that it was not continued, but now I see that it has beyond anything Volition could have envisioned.

Absolutely spectacular what you have done. I can hardly wait for my flying skills to come back. I asume there is still mutliplayer somewhere.

Again I am one happy man right now.

It's a bit more involved to set up than just clicking a button and the game taking care of the rest (though it will do this after you set it up the first time), but it's there :)

First, go to This Multiplayer FAQ on the Game Warden Forums. It is a detailed walkthrough of how to set up multiplayer on FSO. Since you already have the game, skip step 2. With that out of the way, go to This Thread here on HLP to pick up the multiplayer mission package, which I recommend putting in your mediavps directory if you want to play with those that enabled, else in a seperate mod directory. Either way, never stick a 3rd party VP (even one as official as this) in the freespace root directory. Note, you may not need to DL these if you used Turey's installer to get the game. And that's it, you're done.

And now, as promised, all you have to do to enter the multiplayer game lobby is to start the game, pick your MP pilot, and click on the ready room. That doesn't mean there will actually be any games happening, but that's a different matter - And you can always make arrangements in advance to have people show up at a designated time.

Shortly after it left.

A series of localized forum in-jokes
A clever and self-referential comment on the nature of signatures themselves.

Re: New to this board and I have to say...
Welcome to HLP buddy. Hope you enjoy it. By the way, you wouldn't happen to have any skill in texturing, FRED'ing, or voice acting? There's some big campaigns up n running, and they're short handed, so hope you came with talent.

No? then nick off ! :ick:



LOL jk. :lol: Welcome to the boards mate

Any way we could re-instate squadwar on FS2NetD?

Re: New to this board and I have to say...
No I never flew on the squad war site. Back then my computer was pretty low end.

As far as having skills to add, I wish I did. I would love to be able to add to this site. But I am not a programmer.

And I really am impressed with the work you have done. I am going to go through the original missions again and then onto the MODS. Hopefully, I can get some of my skills back. I am getting old :lol:.

It's already in the PXO code that's slated to be reintroduced once Taylor has it all nice and stable, which I believe is tentatively scheduled for 3.6.10. So in other words, yes :)

Re: New to this board and I have to say...
There was that one mission on line that I did play it was where you had to go through series after series of shipd ( Shivan) until you get to a ship at the end. I think it was called the Guantlet. That was really intense. I think it took me close to an hour to get that done. So I did play on line, I just never played squad war.

Find the reset button on it... check the user manual (Google your model # and the word manual).

Very soon. But Squad War is as far as I know a 3.7 feature not a 3.6.10 one.
