@afx

i tried the game, no problem here, runs smooth, just a question.. In the first tutorial, the instructor told me to press the "\" key to get full speed.. but here nothing happens.. i have to change my keyboard layout from amiga os prefs??.. now using italian ISO-8859-15

OT

it's funny to see that pressing the "STAMP" key makes grab of the current game

 Re: Descent Freespace 2 for AmigaOS4.1
that's strange since SDL should take the current keyboard layout without any problem (otherwise any game wont work correctly..)
I'll take a look

 Re: Descent Freespace 2 for AmigaOS4.1
very nice but i only have a classic PPC amiga so can`t play unless there`s a upgrade.

i do have the three CD version but it`s the *special edition* version where only 2000 copys were made it has extra missions.

Fab! Shame I probably have literally no time to play it, as I really enjoyed the original Freespace.

Yes, it will work. However, you'll have to install it manually. I had the GOG version installed on my PC, and copied the files over based on where Andrea's installer script puts the files. It took me a few attempts to get it right.

Looks like a game worth playing, done a quick search on ebay and not single copy unfortunately, will have to keep a look out.

@Daniel

Getting the CD pack might be hard, but you can buy a downloadable version fro http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/freespace_2. Like I said above, installation from the downloaded version is a bit of a pain, but it is the full game, and it does work.

how about a little script that copies the files from the download version to the right place? Just to take a way a little pain from us dump (or lazy? ) users?

thanks,

 Re: Descent Freespace 2 for AmigaOS4.1
Hmmm, I also got the issue with the \ character... It appears Freespace 2 simply doesn't recognise it - nothing will bind to it so I had to bind full throttle elsewhere... No biggie I guess. Also, the voices don't work for me. I happened to quite like them from the first Freespace :(

It'd be nice if it was added to the Amiga installer itself. And also add installer selections for addon items as well if certain pieces of them have to go in different certain places.

How do you choose which mod or to play the original game? Is a startup manager to select things in order as well?

 Re: Descent Freespace 2 for AmigaOS4.1
As we have the .exe for os4 to launch the game, why bother with the native installer? I tryed it last night and it took hours. Here is the magic quick and dirty solution: Use windows to install the complete game then burn the extracted directory should be C:\games\freespace2 (thats the defult install) and burn it straight to disc. Now, once you have done that boot into os4, find your freespace2 os4.exe and copy all files from your burnt disc into there should take only 20minuits, then voila. Launch the os4 .exe and you will be playing freespace2 in no time.

I can confirm that this seems to be a good solution that works well and fast if you got issues installing it on the amiga side.

 Re: Descent Freespace 2 for AmigaOS4.1
I bought it from the GOG site and downloaded. After installing it on Windows, I moved it to my SAM and it works. I have no problem using the Full Throttle backslash key, although strangely I can't type it here.
