Shadow of Fear is not only the work of a few Developer like us (who did it) but of a whole Community.
You may think: “but you made the Ships, Planets, Faction Story and invested your time…”. Well, thats right but we used the tools others made to create everything. We was reading their Threads and How to’s, we printed their turorials and so on. So it is also on us to say thanks to those who did the work before and while we was creating SoF.
This Credit list only shows the nickname of some people but it is need to know that there is much more behind these nicks. To mod or create a ship, system, tool, dll, plugin or whatever else you need some knowledge about the basics and how to use everything and you must be willing to share your work.
Freelancer is now more or less easy to mod because there are and was a hundred and more people doing the stuff and releasing it under public license. Here must be a place where we can thank everyone who made Shadow of Fear possible except us.
For the moment it is just a start and will hopefully improved everytime we are going to use something which was not done by ourselves but by those willing to share their own time and knowledge to improve all Freelancer Servers.
At the very Beginning are the Developers of the 88Flak Mod in front of them it’s creator Fox.
They was handing out a great mod with a ton of features. 88Flak comes with a most interesting feature pack such as wingman support, playerdockable ships, Bots, an already pretty well balanced Ship behavior, the grafic features of Itano Circus and a hundred more features. One of the most important reasons was the clean code of 88Flak and the already given support to other modders by countless descriptions and how to’s within the Mods directory when you download it.
88Flak Main Page don’t miss their Forum 😉
Close after the 88Flak Development Team comes the Starport, as THE Source for people modding Freelancer.
Countless Threads on this portal are helpful and well organized pages to learn from. At least you will ever find someone helping you soon. But also TSP is the home of those people writing the Tools and serve Downloadsections. If you want to support Freelancer as a whole we would like to ask you for a donation to the Starport, so it may live forever (on the left of the TSP page is a button named Make a donation).
The next ones are together the Communities of the Discovery Mod and the Hamburg City Mod. Both wasn’t helping active (because we didn’t requested something) but their Forums holding the easy stuff on how to start as beginners. And tons of explanations for the very beginning.
To not end the list of the important Sites helping to create we have to proceed with Celestia an open source project bringing the stars to your home.
A major part of sources also was the modding community of Soase (Sins of a Solar Empire and all the followers) where we can not point to one site only here. With their released work they also made some of our models possible.
Now we come to the Gizmo Studios and Griff for the excelent and eyecatching Elite Shippack which is also holding the Coriolis Station. “If you read this griff we would die for the rest of your Stations converted to something readable!”. All the Elite Models of Griff was converted by Gibbon.
The WikiSky.org for Information about everything you need to be informed of while making a Space Simulation Mod.
The Site of donjon RPG Tools so we wasn’t needed to invent everything by ourselves 😉
The oOElite Community for several grafic related Development Tools.
We also want to name a few single modders in front of all of them
And of Course the Development Team of Shadow of Fear
and the Developers of 88Flak
