Tolwyn:
As you say, Fleet Tactics is probably the best WC III resource.
Unfortunately, Trucidation expressed his love of Privateer 1, and was seeking information on Privateer 1.
Fleet tactics doesn't really have anything related to Privateer 1.
So, how good a WC III resource they are is a mute point.
Only hard-core fans of WC III would even care.

I would put it this way, the website explains everything about WC1-3, nothing about Privateer and the so-called Privateer 2. But most of us can live with it.

you are working on the dragon? May I ask where have you got the model? Not that we do the same work

LoL You may, its the one from Wing Commander 3D (one of yours I presume). PantherX gave me the link way back when I though of making a dragon for Evolutions. So far I have converted textures to tga and started with hardpoints when MilkShape started make problems. I though of converting it to FL and then start working on a merc version of the Dragon called Black Dragon.

Thanks, I'll check out those pages. When I find time off from work I'm going to reinstall Privateer again Btw... is it just me, or is having ships with too many gun slots in Freelancer kinda makes choosing guns less important?

Some VHF models have 8 gun slots, I mean, that's just insane. Perhaps if we reduced the average # of gun slots then choosing the right gun would be fun again. You know, balancing refire rate, power drain, etc like in Privateer. I haven't played your mod yet (saving the best for later ) but in other mods the custom ships seem to be... overpowered. They also tend to make LFs not worth buying cause the HFs and VHFs are too maneuverable.

Good luck with the mod, absolutely looking forward to it!

I can help do some other random odd-jobs for the mod too if needed.

Thanks

lvxoccvlta:
Could you contact BoH_Havoc?
He needs textures for the Galaxy, and some Privateer 2 ships that he's done.
Thanx!

Bob I have sent the dragon mesh with textures to <[email protected]>. So it should be on its way.

Warzog, it would be great.. but I dont know how to contact these people or where to go. A team-related forum might be in order.. a place where those of us doing different jobs of the project can get together.

Is there a cmp editor? As I understand most weapons in this mod are cmp and sur format.
UTF Editor can edit CMP files.

CMP is for models - as far as I know nobody has imported any weapons models (yet). You can edit the weapon stats with any plain text editor.

LoL
Erm I know this is a bit pushing luck, but any chance seeing Phase Transit Cannon on cap ships.
Jokes aside lets say I want to make special weapon that wont mount on normal gun hp but instead hp like CD and Torp. Reason I want to limit the number of that type of gunns that can be mounted on normal gun hp is. I cant imagen(In this case it stormfire) 6 or 4 guns consisting from them, they would just rip most ships to sherd in seconds. I would like them function as secondary(missle & torps) weapon. Would it be practical or a bad idea?

A sugestion. Change the current Banshee to a better looking one. And without turret.
Ships to add: Razor, Longbow, Avenger, Bearcat, Rapier, Scimitar & Salthi for Retros.
Can the taunts/pics of NPC in Priv/WC* replace the ones in FL or is it hard coded?
