Hi, i posted the same question in golden oldies, but since rarely anyone checks that part of the forum and i'm eager to play it, i'm asking here.

I decided to to install Freelancer and replay it once again, but for this playthrough i would like to play with some mods. So i'm asking for your suggestions Smile

First things first, i want some widescreen and better graphics mode. I found one for widescreen, but i'm afraid it wont be compatible with other mods so i'm still in a search. Next, is there some campaign mode (SP) which improves it with more ships, star systems, weapons, side missions, but doesn't change the main storyline? I found Crossfire 1.9, but as i see this extends the story after the main events. Mod looks fantastic, but i want to replay the main part of the game too. Is there anything like this?

I suppose i need Unofficial 1.4 update to fully enjoy the experience, right?

To be honest, you're best off waiting for Crossfire 2.0, if it ever comes out, as most of the large mods out there are total conversions geared more towards MP. Most will add ships/equip that are compatible with the base game, but not much else, like missions etc. I recommend reading up on Discovery or The Next Generation.

Yeah i know, but as i said, i want to replay the main storyline too Smile And who knows when Crossfire 2.0 will get released. Release date was stated for december last year if i remember correctly, but since then there was no word on a new release date Sad

The only two I know of that really boost the game content whilst still working on the base game in such a way as to not radically change everything, are Discovery/TNG. The new hard point system is really cool Smile

Just wanted to say that. For now i installed Patch 1.4 with Jason's Freelancer Patch v1.20 and JFLP.DLL v1.21. Smile

After that i'm going to try that Discovery mode Smile

Edit:

Besides HD Textures 1.2 for vanilla version, there is also HD Starsphere mod which improves graphical quality of space Smile

Discovery is great in MP. On a decently populated server it feels like a mmo done right.

Everything about Freelancer was done right, in my opinion, I'm an unashamed massive fanboy of it and gutted that even now, 11 years later, nothing has beaten it and very few have even come close.

Again, in my opinion.

I'm constantly on the lookout for a title to live up to the legacy and epicness of FL but nothing yet Sad For now I have my hopes on Crossfire 2.0 but meh, it's never coming out Sad

Right on dude. Freelancer was just one of those games that did everything right IMOIMOIMOIMO!

I haven't been able to find a suitable replacement yet and I've tried many of them.... x3, jumpgate revolution, black prophecy, eve online... Nothing Sad

I do have high hopes for star citizen and no mans sky though, those look fantastic Very Happy

Starlight Inception, Eve, X-Series, Evocjron, Darkstar One, ZigFrak, amongst many many others. All fun, none of them Freelancer, and while SC originally looked to be a worthy substitute, it now simply seems to be a troll-infested first person EVE with ball-shrivelling system requirements. Neither ED nor Limit Theory look to be competitors either Sad Freelancer was a freak occurrence , ne'er to be repeated Crying or Very sad

I still haven't played any of the X games... well i did X3, but only for half an hour so i can't really say i've played it Razz But the other space sim games i've tried are far from Freelancer. This game is just unrepeatable.

So at the end i'm replaying it with 1.4 Update + Jason's Freelancer Patch v1.20 + HD Textures 1.2 + HD Starsphere + HQ Original Music mods and it's fantastic Smile Just like in the old days Smile So if anyone want's to replay it or play it for the first time, this are the mods i definitely recommend for pure vanilla experience Smile Still haven't tried any of the additional ships modes and i think i won't until i finish it.

The mod is done... just a few more tests, a small bugfix to the launcher and building the final installer... then it can be released.

Ah, I see! I thought it was a news update and I was checking over the other updates >_< It's just like last time when you posted the video and said "soon" despite there not being any indication of "soon" at all, which is why I asked Razz

Eh... ok so just because it's been a while.

Is there any way to force the game into 1920x1080? Also it keeps bugging me about a multi-player ID I don't have. Using version 1.0 of the game with a no cd exe.

*edit*

Should I just download crossfire, and that changes all the settings?
