Talk:FreeSpace Alpha

Drama

Oh, man. You've nicked my talk page(!)... Alrighty then, perhaps it can be made into a semi-coherent article then. I'll see what I can do. Selectah 01:17, 10 December 2007 (CST)

• Ok, replying to myself here. I cleaned it up a bit, there's only so much that one can add. I don't really see why my talk page was turned into an article, but there ya go... Selectah 02:36, 10 December 2007 (CST)

And you did an excellent job. Thanks. It's an important part of FS history. Mustang19 08:10, 10 December 2007 (CST)

Trailer video

The Descent Network link to the trailer appears dead. I put in a Youtube link. Edit: Nevermind, that's the FS2 trailer. Mustang19 09:43, 10 December 2007 (CST)

• Trailer works fine. If you want to place another link there, that's fine, too. This one would be fine, for example. Don't delete a working link, tho. Selectah 22:30, 10 December 2007 (CST)

It works now, under Mozilla. Down with Internet Explorer!

• Another question. You still haven't told me exactly where all this stuff came from. I can understand where you got the screenshots from since I've seen them on the Volition website. However, how did you get a hold of the weapons table? Mustang19 11:23, 11 December 2007 (CST)

Ah, from all around, to be honest. I have a couple of old CD's with stuff that I gathered back in the day, such as the (voiced!) Slaser campaign (nope, that's not "Slasher", that's "Slaser"), Alpha/Beta stuff, et cetera. I'm not a terribly good archiver, though, so I've probably lost 98% of that old stuff. (If I recall correctly, I think I released most of those campaigns as Selectah's New Year Extravaganza™ some years ago.) But yeah, if I can find any more references to the tables and such on the 'net, I can insert them as links and stuff. Hey, the Wayback Machine's an all-too-underused tool, don't y'know? By the way, some of the dropped stuff planned for release at the time of the Alpha/Beta versions is still available, by digging a bit deeper into the official stuff. The "news scene" -- mentioned in the FreeSpace Reference Bible -- was voiced and in the process of being rendered when time/money ran out. A clip of the voice acting can still(!) be found in the Descent: FreeSpace demo with the name "Voicetest.wav", and it's just a tiny snippet from the longer newscaster monologue. I remember having some hi-res rendered images from that news scene, but I've lost them. They are probably still out there on the 'net. Et cetera. Selectah 01:27, 12 December 2007 (CST)
