Hm... you prefer to buy it? Err... Isn't it shareware already?

EDIT: Well, I have no idea, so I'm asking too... If it's not... then I may be playin it a little *cough*illegal*cough*... *Quickly deletes his Freespace 2*

I wrote a really funny FL story, but it disappeared when the old forum went away. So, no lulz for you today.

The source code to FreeSpace 2 was actually released some time ago and was adopted by a community of open source programmers and is now in a state of development and enhancement to bring it on par with the current standard of games.

FreeSpace Open Installer

Now I may be off on a few points, its been sometime since I last investigated FS2 but those links should give you the general idea.

I couldnt figure out how to get the stupid open installer to work.

Cryo, how did you get it? I can try that way.

It should just be a matter of running the Java executable and allowing it internet access to download the game resources :S

I tried, I ran it (and I have cable internet so its always connected 24/7) and I even told it where to put the files. But once it gets to the laast screen where it downloads and installes it but it just sat there like a stick in the mud. Any other ideas?

Edit: oh, I didnt tell it to run as Admin, that ruins everything on Vista

I'd say that might have been your issue, I'd suggest attempting it again.

somewhere on their forums I downloaded a complete cd with idiot-proof installation

EDIT: But that was 1.5 year ago

Couldn't find "M"'s CD install. And had no dice with the windows installer. Im now registering with their forum so I can ask the experts.
