This looks like a load of fun, been looking for some new stonic stuff to try out downloading this now :P thanks for all your hard work.

thanks for the responce

does this work with mp or effect mp in any way?

Just like to ask a quick question, why is people only play this mod or there only ever seems to be a server up when these tournaments are on, i have installed this several times now and no one is ever around, i mean not even any servers are up, ive only ever managed to play this once, and what should be a great mod has little to no 24/7 multiplayer support aka dedicated servers etc. Even if you set up a donation button say pay pal to pay for the server id be happy to chip in as im sure others would ?

i think it was second from the bottom with the super gate , u must have tech 5 i think

if any 1 wants to play this online im on tunngle star wars forces of corruption room. for those who don;'t know what tunngle is its a VPN lan.

You can get it from here Tunngle.net

ahh the forum link works now, it might have been a issue with my browser, occasionally when i click links it reports a broken link thanks anyway.

hi i tried going on your forums but the forum button does not work and the e-mail returned a error, as if the server was having issues etc ?

p.s sorry for the late response :)

hey is there any patch being worked on atm ? there are some bad game breaking bugs atm such as camera loosing focus and then u can;t follow the ship, non of the camera keys work when this happens.

Usually happens when you exit the game and try to continue from a save.

looking good guys keep up the good work.

you can download the mod latest version right here > Moviebattles.com

just in case others wanted a tutorial on duelling like I did I have found a somewhat upto date tutorial here which I found very helpful.

Elitewarriors.net

Thanks for the links those are the pages i've seen already , but i will keep on reading through them, the problem is those willing to talk in game keep telling me those guides are out of date but since i came here i have been told by several people now they are still useful guides so thanks again i will stick with those :)

has anyone got a decent saber / duelling guide that is upto date with the current version of the mod, and also a guide that actually details exactly what must be done to duel effectively e.g perfect blocking well yes i know what it is but how does one do it ?

by that last statmente i mean i seen lots of guides but they refer to things like your supposed to already know what it is, or how to do it.

if there is not currently one out there can i kindly ask for one to be made. I have tried to ask in game, but the responses i get are outright rude , disrespectful and quite honestly hostile just because im new to the mod, these so called pro's might be good at the game, but sure are hostile to new comers so much so its a wonder any new people join.

Thanks in advance

Hey there bud good news on your mod, i will be willing to try out the beta and give you a bug report, as well as assist you if you wish with debugging. Also if you are in need of a sound technician / voice actor (with goauld fx) i can assist with that also just drop me a pm and keep up the good work mate.

Best of luck for your future endeavours

if u want to play multiplayer id be up for some, download gameranger and drop me a pm to arrange some MP battles :)

i have been looking to play freespace 2 open online for some time now, however i have been on the hard light chat several days now asking for mp matches and it seems they have all moved on to call of duty / other games or so i was told, no 1 seems to play the multiplayer these days however if anyone would like to arrange a mp game drop me a pm, my time is GMT since i live in the uk, but am usually available at good PST times as well for those in america :)

what happend to the site? what happend to the community i have been trying for ages to find someone to play even the stock games online with, gameranger has gone dead, if you need help starting off the community again id be happy to set up a community forum site for the purpose of matchmaking, and mod hosting.

Well firstly thanks for taking the time to respond, im glad you took my view in the context i wished it to be taken (e.g not offensivly), i did read some of the manual but when i first loaded the game it loaded in french which i do not understand, i assume that first dialog that popped up was asking if i wished to play tutorial or something ? if it was since i don;t read french i would have no idea, however if there is a way to replay or restart the tutorial hopefully in english i will replay and write a new review based on longer game play time and hopefully a better understanding of what MOBA / DOTA games are, and yes it is true i have never played this genre or even heard of it until now so it will be interesting to see exactly how this works.

I hope you can get back to me before the weekend as i work most days and never have much time of a night to play. cheers and all the best

Sorry to confuse a little but its not so much an mmo that i was indicating about when refering to eve, it was more to the complexity hope that clarifies a little :).

A good example of an awful game is here 3000ad.com check out the actual game tho, 3000ad didn;t know what they where making, and probably still don;t they made a game that tried to impliment elements from the likes of eve online and FPS elements from say chrome (old game based on unreal 2 engine) then they decided they wanted to make the game capable of flying a ship into an atmousphere and being able to land the ship etc.

Now i know your game is very different from my example, but the point im making is you should focus from the start when making a game one one genre, not many, because all you will end up with is a fancy gfx, but very poor content/quality game.

I hope you consider what i have wrote seriously with regards and best wishes for your future development.

3rd point - collision detection and asteroids, ships don;t even need to hit the asteroid but just past it and they blow up, also balance issues within the game need to be looked at e.g a corvette inflicting almost insta kill on a dreadnought ??? how does that work ?

4th point - AI control of support craft ?.... plain useless im afraid, my ai controlled support craft simply put ... do NOT support at all, in fact they just race into the enemy base and get pwned leaving me feeling very isolated 1 ship vs a star base + .. god knows how many weapon platforms ?.....

last final point i will allow you to work the rest out after this....

What is with the upgrades ? how long should it actually take to impliment an upgrade ? i kept checking and there seems to be some sort of scale / bar to indicate which level you are at tech wise i assume, but what is and when is anything implimented ? during the fight .. .after the fight ?

This ends my mini review / bug report.

All i really want to put across is, you should recall any games already sold shut down your servers, work out , plan and re-design aspects of this game aka either make it an RTS or make it a FPS space shooter etc...

Or at the very least patch out these major bugs which should not be released on a retail product ! if not i can guarentee you will have one ****** off angry community.

I have played the trial version and im afraid to say unless this game gets some serious attention you will really struggle to actually sell this product let alone give it away for free or even build a player base, i offer this criticism not maliciously but for you to improove your work and eventually make a product worthy of release. Your current build at the moment weather it is a final build or you are already working on patches im unsure, suffice to say the game as it currently is - is awful put bluntly. Graphics are nice sure, interface is a disaster, GUI is awful, controls are limited and non responsive, and the game is lacking any community with just 13 - 20 players per time i have been on and also the fact that its released as a multiplayer only game. This product is going to get no where.

point 1 - The controls... The controls are chaotic,i think perhaps you have designed them to be similar to a space sim, yet you have used a RTS like top down view, a simple right click interface would be much better suited, it took me the first 10 minutes of the multiplayer session just to work out how to go forward. Further more my enemy and allies alike could not even figure out how to fire. which brings me to point 2.

point 2 - Weapons systems, - close related to the controls of the game , the weapons are shall we say in-accurate, almost impossible to fire. Im assuming the green lines are your firing arc ? again implimenting space sim aspects to a top down view is dissasterous, this should be and RTS, the tactical capture points as far as i and also anyone else i have met thus far in game are usless, they don;t seem to serve a purpose.

Well as far as im aware, A2 is quite similar to bridge commander in terms of MP temperaments, you must have all matching filesand a checksum that verifies all plays have the same version and file match or thats when you get crashing problems, it has to do with scripting mainly, i myself was never very good at that as i attempted the doomed Kobayashi maru 2.0 unofficial mod for BC couldn;t quiet get the checksum to work right. However i can help in terms of a MP platform / server , i know how to set up a tunngle Virtual lan server list if that would help.

if you have not heard of tunngle check it out here Tunngle.net

Squire me old chap i always knew you would pull through, when i heard that you where packing it all in, the modding i mean, i was a bit gutted but i knew you would be back more enthusiastic than ever, Really looking forward to this release.

Quick question bud, the multi-player aspect are you setting up a GUI similar to fleet ops in terms of built in Tunngle support ? or is there any chance of a tunggle supported chat room / server room via the tunggle client ?

Cheers & respect

Any chance of throwing up a hamachi MP server ?

Must be said this mod is going to be huge, As my favourite band would say aka front 242 - 'Masterhit' :) haha, seriously tho guys you can really see the hard work paying off in those screen shots and as i have said all along, better to wait and have a great mod than rush and have a half done bugged mod :)

This my friends is going to be very much worth the wait !

Keep up the great work and if i don;t get on before i wish you and the team a Very happy Christmas and a great new year.

no problem mate :) if i find any other bugs i will attempt to squash them as i have 3 rigs i can test it on multiple OS's and hardware :)

I have fixed the problem myself, it was a router issue specific to netgear V1000 firmware , after updating the firmware to V1001A it now allows me to see servers, anyone else having this issue on netgear routers type in google, followed by Netgear router issue + Battlefield 2142. I think its the 4th forums post down which has the walkthrough steps to solving this. If you have any issues feel free to contact me on here.

Cheers
