11 comments by FW:ToW_Sushi on Oct 30th, 2009 digg this super bookmark




The Freeworlds: Tides of War development team has been busy over the past few weeks bringing the mod to life.  Deety and Myself have completed putting in all the code for all the mod's small craft including the shuttles, transports and freighters of the mod.  Deety has also been busy working on creating new missions for the mod, similar to the scale and nature we previously mentioned  in this news piece: Battle of Yavin.  We'll be releasing more details about missions as Deety completes more of the project.

As for systems, Lilfire has joined the team to help fill in the large empty space we have.  By tediously placing numerous ships, bases, shipyards and container fields, we hope to breathe some life into our massive systems.  Below are some images of what Lilfire has been doing with the assistance of Deety:




Fondor Shipyards

We also have head some significant development with Fondor Shipyards.  The model was originally built by Overfiend and has been textured by Super D.  Here are some images of the large base:





Furthermore, Qi has almost completed the groundwork of our economy.  Unfortunately, there's not much to show you regarding this, but you'll have to believe me when I say that it's going to be epic :)

W0dk4 has also been busy with FW:ToW by creating many new FL Hooks for us.  Some of the creations include:

  • Having mass of cargo/missiles affect how the vessel will handle (More mass = sluggish)
  • Preventing players from moving while in cruise (that means that players will have to point themselves in the right direction before they engage their cruise engines)
  • Speeding up turning rate when you throttle down.  Some of you that remember XvT/XWA know that when turning your optimal speed to turn was 33%. 
  • Creating a missile view mode
  • Being able to rotate the vessel while in 3rd person (like XvT/XWA)
  • Creating a key that causes the ships wings to fold prior to engaging cruise: B-Wing, X-Wing

And last but not least, this is the latest FW:ToW Development video so show you the amazing new bases that we're going to have populate our systems.  The movie also includes some footage of the huge fleets Lilfire has been working on. I hope you enjoy it!


As always, any comments, questions or suggestions are welcome!

To Sushi. Thanx man. I appreciate your help alot but everytime i've tried to do that, the server crashes and then it doesn't show afterwords until i reboot it again and then it still crashes. You guys are genius's i have to say and my hat's off to you but i am still having problems. I'm running win xp on all three of my home computers and they connect with other games i have triplet of but not this one. I hope i've not missed something? It all seemed so simple.

Because this is about the FW:ToW mod. It has nothing to do with the FW 1.66 mod.

To all involved in FW:ToW. Though it took me awhile to get my comp tech cousin over here to load up the mod manager and your HELLA AWSOME reinvisioning of Freelancer so i could play in awe, i have a dilemma. I need to get the LAN for it working. I have three computers and three friends whom i have managed to peak their interest in coming over to my home and playing this game to form a wing but they are not used to the controls and in an effort not to intimadate them, i told them i'd find a way to get Lan functioning so they could practice up on our own to role play on your main server. I need to ask on how can i get it to work and i'd be very grateful for any and all help. Thank you all for your time and patience.

With the mod installed, just run FLServer.exe. That should work unless there is some other issue.

The factions are: New Republic, Galactic Empire, Corellia, Hutt Cartel, Pirates, Jedi, Sith and Civilians.

And it's not just a FFA. They're a lot more we're bringing to the game than just combat; dynamic economy, mining, trading, role play, etc.
