Mass Effect : Horizons

[Vladimir Borodin]

This is a new project, probably for Freelancer unless I find something more suitable. At this point, I have started gutting Freelancer in preparation for the coming craziness. I am looking for a couple people to assist with models and special fx, and if someone has a little coding experience one or two features I have planned will need it. Please note these features are completely feasible, as another mod has done it, but this other mod is somewhat close-minded when it comes to sharing information.

If anyone is interested, I want to make it VERY clear right now that any coding or features that go into this project is 100% OPEN SOURCE. Models and effects are not necessarily, but code IS. I want people to be able to take the work here and build on it or at least use it themselves. It really irks me how close minded people get sometimes. The only thing I'm aiming for right now is to prevent server side data from getting out. I'd rather have one server with some people on it than 50 with none, right?

I didn't post here to attempt to draw people away from Discovery, merely to announce what I'm doing and if anyone is interested. I'm actually aiming to do most my recruitment directly off the Mass Effect forums, provided BioWare doesn't request I stop.

As for me, I have a decent amount of modding experience. I made a TC for the orignal Homeworld based on FreeSpace. Had all the ship models in and hardpointed, was starting on special effects and sounds when I managed to corrupt something and couldn't fix it. This was my first lesson in "Redundant Backups". Freelancer-wise, I know how to edit INI files and such, but am in the process of learning the whys and wherefores of inserting ships into THIS game. Somewhat more complicated than Homeworld was.
