Release FreeSpace 2

[Moridian]

Another question, could you make the cutscenes work, atleast for the GoG version where they are added with the install?

 

[ptitSeb]

Cutscene do works.

I use a 3CD versions, so I can't tell about GoG version, but files should be the sames.

here is my populated appdata/freespace2 folder:

I hope it help. Cutscenes are the *.MVE files.

First time playing Freespace, bought them both from this thread.  Pretty fun so far.

Ah thanks, on the GoG version the mve files are located in the data2 and data3 folders. so just had to move them into the freespace folder.

You should also try it on PC with the graphic upgrades.

It looks like this:

The mouse sensitivity must be set to the max, or almost the max for the game to be playable.

Because the turn rate is quite awful with the default setting

(I'm still a bit confuse about axis, being used to real joysticks, I have troubles with nubs  … 

[troll]I wonder if my sidewinder force feedback would work on pandora [/troll])

Yes, I have forced mouse sensitivity to the max for new profile, starting with build 02...

Just wanted to say I very much like the fact that you get an ERROR-Message with instructions on where to put the files (and which files are needed) instead of the the usual "nothing happens, where can I read up on what *exactly* I have to do?" ... going to try the actual game next, but I found it noteworthy.It's little things like this that make a good port absolutely perfect ^_^

Ah :unsure:   Since I've updated from the first release and kept  the appdata folder, it used the old config

Sorry about that.

With the right mods you can do even better

it seems the nub configurator does not config . It all defaults to right nub mouse and left nub button/click.

 For me but I prefer the opposite being left nub as my mouse and right nub as my button/click as I use this normally on my Pandora.

Referring to Freespace 1

 

[ptitSeb]

I haven't put Nubs config on FreeSpace 2 yet. will come soon.

I wish I had a more powerful computer  I've completely lost touch with the open-source community around Freespace  :unsure:

 

[ptitSeb]

Added (working) nub configurator.

Build 04

----------

• Added a menu to select nub configuration

 

[Stainy]

Horray..
Was just going to post that i got used to left nub flying ( as its been swapped around now )


Sent from my A500 using the cli.

Yep, the Mods are great, I just relied to the original missions, which are quite a lot and really great.

For those interested, here is the diff from latest SVN of the port to Pandora:freespace.tar.gz

It also use eglport from Pickle.

 

[Askarus]

Is there any way to use the L button.

It can't be set up for any action.

 

[ptitSeb]

L button is Shift, and Shift cannot be used alone but as a modifier. So you can use it but not alone, you have to pair it with another key.

I may try to change L trigger so it can be used alone, but I'm not sure it will be good in fact. So, may be doing a pool?

 

[Askarus]

Is there already a Pandora recommended control configuration?
