The FFED3D Thread

Hi Steve
The mod switcher is to be "found" in the FFE3D download on the Russian boards, but for me at least,it's corrupt and quits before the download can complete. I wonder if Darkone at the SSC has maybe updated his download to include it? That might be worth a try

geraldine; nice vid,:D no never seen it before, i'm not often on youtube.
amiga pics i only preserved, i'm not responsible for it (nor am i the creator).
other ffe related pics, i uploadet to ssc, here
and something that gets you to mars, there
your names really geraldine.

dart; what "unofficial archive" do you mean? hoopers? it's just a single executable, hacked by hooper. ... now i see you're referring to geraldines hint, does'nt matter i think, you can download additional stuff anywhere around, ok starts to get a puzzle, i don't mind.:p

steve; "mod switcher" original "generic mod enabler" was in the last pack i downloadet from elite-games.ru, but you have to rename the folders in ....FFED3D\MODS\"remove remnants from kyrillian letters in the folder names", to make it work. it works also with a lot of other "moddable" games, cause it only moves and backup folders you specified.
the actual version you find here :cool:

do i have to google for you guys :confused:

my name is "drachen er sorgt" (it's a anagram for my full name).

once i have a question too, i downlodet a file (can't remember from where, i'm a real messy guy) "ffe_univ_ruspatch.rar" in it is a "MISSION.DAT" file, does somebody know what's with this file? is it a update? a enhancement? a debugged version? i don't know (but i will find out), maybe somebody allready knows whats the difference (the includet text files are not very helpful, cause they're in russian.). :confused:

i'm stupid, it's to patch jjffe & ffed3d to russian language (u can use it to patch JJFFE to any lang., theres no difference else i think, mission.dat includet works only with patched .exe).
still i will give it a try and patch a version with the includet engl. text sources to find out if there are any other changes.

Yes.
Simply Russian better understand what updates are needed in the archive, and which were laid for the test.
They do not need an interpreter and they can watch for updates of old files. =)
It would be better to distribute files from their site. IMHO

This is the Russifier for JJFFE (no for D3D - although it may work, perhaps).
Created by the author Novosibirsk's Elite (Elite 3 for the ZX-Spectrum).

you think? latest compilation was a mess! some model folders included the original models as spline.x, which leads to several missdisplayed ships, i had remove all manually. additional some textures/models didn't work properly now. like the turner in the intro (did anyone else got that problem) is partwisely missing (must be a missing model, there are some models only for the demo, maybe i deleted it), the missing texture for the saturn rings (it was there before, i swear) and some ground textures are missing (which was the reason i did my "little town"), i will get it to work all proper, just gimme some time. :)
also i started a new replacement town with a more 3250a.d. "church" and a modern "small house"

apart from that, i was working on some texture replacements for the system map (in ffed3d), especially because i didn't liked the look of "venus" and any other "rocky planet with a thick corrosive atmosphere", i think the pic should reflect what is described and not a "naked" venus (thus can be seen only by x-ray and radio spectrum and the used little pic is a computer graphic from several sources. took me some time to find a full picture of the "clouded" venus, thanks to russian space flight). the stars are even crappy conv.s of original ffe art and should be replaced.
but after all i'm not very satisfied with my work and i think i will recreate the planets on blender and render them to give them a unified FFED3D look. ;)

steve; aha, thanks

i'm bored of my avatar, hmpf:(

It can not be. Why can not I see?
1 - only in the 221 folder. But this does not give error.


" the missing texture for the saturn rings "
I have it textures. Maybe your computer is not working properly.

" turner in the intro"
Yeah, but in an unOficial archive its work? Can not be.



I do not know where you found your archive............................

but i can't find what i downlodet then, i'm a real messy guy i said.
respectively the files content seems to be clean. :confused:

yes, my computer didn't works properly, it's a PC! (piece of crap)

computing: (nav.) to estimate (calculate) position on open sea
computer: large buildings in 19th century (uk) where loads of people was engaged to do above.

hey, you removed your last post, why?

anyways, proof one is infected. but i can't tell you from where i downloadet it.
but someone should descramble that for us and setting ffed3d up so that it can be started by mouseclick even by a complete noob.
sometimes txt files are added to the models, but i don't have to tell you that we (the rest of the world), can't read them.

HI Oz Falcon
Thank you for providing that link. Getting a hold of the latest version was proving to be troublesome. Well done to you and you have even broken it down into smaller parts. Great!:D

Downloading part 1 now;)
 
good job OzFalcon :D
i will peruse it. ;)

i did.... and part 4 seems to be currupted (i downloadet it two times, just to be shure) but i didn't think data is really corrupted, the whole rar folder is a mess when i open it and shows everytime i do, different folders & names, sometimes 4 sometimes only three or one.
maybe you should not preserve. it seems like the kirillyan typefaces (or remnants of) confusing our OS's. you know in ascii a lot of code was reserved as commands for DOS and still restricted by OS to use for names, it's still a PC, they can be very serious (start to act silly) about such things. windows simply don't allows the use of them, but if they come in a compressed folder, allready named with "\","/","¦", or "*" noone knows what happens then (not a lot in fact, it simply don't works). or imagine it contains some of the good old [* esc commands...... maybe your computer starts to type your instruction to the printer rather than extracting the archive. or redirect to source folder and overwrite with no data would be also possible i think with the right combination, to perform a sudden reset would be easy, it's expandable by choice......

geraldine i know you must have downloadet it too, is it the same for you?

maybe it helps if i install kyrillian typefaces on my machine, so the letters won't be wrong interpreted.
