The FFED3D Thread

[Sterlino]

hey.. it didn't work for me the new skin...

probably i miss something ?

seems that the model reads the textures from the main folder textures and not from the file36.
There should be the model file for the model 36.
where is it ?

edited now: never mind... i read the old post ... i missed it. ^_^

 

[Steve]

New skin for the cobra just extract it to file 36.http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HCAOL06X

Nice work Got it on my FFE D3D installation now.
By the way, check the Russian forums to fix the landing gear issue...

hi to everyone who's played this (and I know I should just see for myself) but does anyone know what Earth looks like in this game? Has the old brown ball been replaced with a more Earthy looking Earth - or even better a real Earth?

Its more "Earthy". Trust me its well worth downloading.

I'm aching to get my hands on the next version of this mod, any updates on when the next version will be ready and what's planned in that update ?

I'm left wondering what else is going to be achieved with the mod because it's all very impressive work .

 

[Sterlino]

i discovered one of two updated ships that in the last version are not included.
to find them you should go there and search for the models on the posts.

http://www.elite-games.ru/conference/viewtopic.php?t=36365&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=980

to update the model download the files and unzip them in the right model number's folder.

model 34

model 38

model 30 (viper defence class)

model 15 (interplanetary shuttle, very nice)

pls note: whenever a model has a number of folder not present in the models folder create it.

the viper class is amazing.

still looking for further updated ships.

those Russians are doing an excellent job with Frontier.

Thanks for finding these Sterlino

The updated ships are dotted about on the Russian forums and are quite hard to find. Hopefully they'll have a central repository before long...

EDIT:

Actually, the links don't seem to be working now

 

[Sterlino]

Actually, the links don't seem to be working now

Sorry, yeah... got the hang of it now. That Interplanetary Shuttle looks amazing

 

[Sir.Tj]

Thanks for the links sterlino, it's pretty tough navigating the site so cheers for routing them out.

The Russian mods are getting more and more impressive.

It's going to be interesting to see how far they can take it. Would be great if they also added some hand coded missions as well. Fingers crossed.

 

[DraQ]

Can someone make some sort of model compendium? The links are spreading across the whole thread.

 

[Ufonaut]

Quest, Viper MK1, shuttle, eagle I and III, cobra with animation:

In FFE all eagles uses one model in folder 23, so you can use only 1 model.

of course.. open with notepad the file ffewin and change the line where is the resolution at your choice.

As soon as I saw your reply I remembered how to do it. Please excuse my senior Moment. Cheers 1920 x 1080 here I come

Well them ruski's are doing a fantastic job on this one, the 1 thing that would get it really hot though is (and i know this is a biggie) multiplayer, ah man that's the only thing i ever wanted from this game, even if only 8 players could join it would be my boyhood dream come true.

keep up the good work you have a cult following already.

Damn...didn't work...Did on JJFfE's version but not on the Russian Mod.

If I could work out how to register on their site I'd post on there.

There seems to be an issue with FFE D3D where some resolutions cause the panel icons to disappear and other settings don't work at all.

Assuming it's not graphics card or display related the best thing to do is experiment with various resolutions until you find one that works. I know that 1280 x 1024 does, because that's what I run the game at. I've heard that there are higher settings which work as well but I don't know what they are.

Good luck
