Hitchhikers Guide Mod Demo Release

[bluedragon]

Well, since it appears that there has been a lull in the Genesis testing I have another mod you guys could test out.
It is nowhere near the level of modding Gibbon does so no high expectations.

You can feel free to report any bugs in this thread.

I already know some of the obvious ones and not all of them have fixes that I know of.

1. The Guide stops short of some very good reading. (no fix known)
2. The robot in Magrethea's bar doesn't give rumors. (I think I know how to fix it)
3. No news Vendor buttons. (Don't know how to fix)

Hi bluedragon, maybe you could give us a quick rundown what your mod is all about? Also, when I try to download, it's only downloading as 0 bytes.

your mod wont extract into freelancer mod manager. on the other about no news vendor buttons i think you need this

[Hotspot]
name = IDS_HOTSPOT_NEWSVENDOR
behavior = NewsVendor

thats in the rooms folder when you go into universe, systems, li01,bases,rooms, the room its in usually the bar.

As far as the news vendor thing goes I have already done that but for some reason it still doesn't show the button.

The site I uploaded the mod onto said that an error occured that they have never seen before and they are looking into it. Appearently, even tho the file says it is 320mb, when you download it, it is an empty folder. Sorry for the hastle but I will hope to have it fixed within the week.

Now, the mod is loosely based on the series of books by Douglas Adams. The 1st book was called "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" and was made into a movie with the promise of more movies to come that never came. This demo only has 2 systems in it that are accessable (the rest are still under constuction) and some unique graphical changes that may have been incorporated in some other mods that are out there. It is a total conversion mod so don't expect anything but the ships and buttons to be the same. All infocards and faction names have been changed. If the news vendor decides to work then the news has been changed as well I will admit that the demo is kinda boring but releasing it gives people a chance to look over my problems and help me find fixes for them. The full version promises to be alot better as I plan to introduce new ships and a mission based story line. And maybe some other bonuses I am working on
