Thread: FreeSpace2 Source

  1. #1

    FreeSpace2 Source

    Hi everyone

    i've been toying with this idea for a while now.

    Anyone interested in helping out on a FreeSpace 2 Source code conversion for Delphi and Free Pascal :?:

    Everyone these days seems interested in First Person Shooters, personally I would love to see FreeSpace 2 running under Free Pascal but I don't know if anyone else would be interested.

    I made a start but to be honest it would take me ages to convert it all myself (on top of all the other projects I'm doing). So if anyone is interested please let me know and I'll try and get something together for people to work off.

    Wow, they released the FreeSpace 2 engine source?

    Even the first game rocked! A worthy translation if you ask me.

    Are you using the SDL sources from - http://www.icculus.org/freespace2/?

    It was released a while ago, I've had it sitting on my hard drive for a while now, I just got hold of the fs2open version which has been updated and had a few bug fixes by the open community http://scp.indiegames.us/news.php I've made a start but I haven't got very far I'm afraid. :cry:

    If there is enough interest I could setup a web site similar to the Quake 2/3 projects and use the same rules to get it converted.

    That would be cool. The Freespace 2 engine for Linux. :drool:

    What was the company who made those games again?

    I think it was MicroSoft?

    I'm interested, but doubt I have the neccessary skills ... let alone the fact that I never even played the game.

    It was made by Volition (Micro$oft did Free Lancer). I think there is already a linux version. the existing C++ code has DEFINEs for mac OS and linux.

    C++ to Pascal conversion is usually quite straight forward. It's when you start doing pointer arithmatic it get's complicated.

    If you want a good place to start on C++ to Pascal conversion check out

    As well as the Quake 2/3 projects.
