The address is correct, I've used it in the past. You must be doing something wrong with your editor or your game version is wrong despite your claims (don't just assume the version number is correct, it's very easy to change).

At this point the IP and engine are worthless anyway. Decade-old code, much of which is using deprecated APIs (DirectX 8, DirectPlay, DirectSound, etc.), an old and largely forgotten lore and universe, the main brains behind the franchise back in action on another game... Just bury it already.

We're modding it because it's flexible, we're used to it, and it's still the only released space sim with such flexibility, but it's only a matter of time before it gets supplanted (finally!).

Spamming emails is known to do the opposite of what you want to do: it makes everybody really angry with the community doing it. It's caused some Kickstarters (like Camelot Unchained) to fly under the radar because journalists were pissed off by the deluge of identical emails.

You won't win anything from Microsoft this way. The only thing they care about is money. Bring them enough money to develop the game or buy the license and maybe, just maybe, they'll listen.

Also, the spellcheck is your browser's... We don't control that.

Same thing. If you don't put more thought into your posts (not asking for a novel here, but not even a full sentence? Come on), I'm going to do some house cleaning.

Basically what Schmack said. There's little logical correlation between low level programming skills and high level programming skills, and even fewer between programming at all and game design.

You can be an awesome leet coder, but a fairly terrible game designer. Case in point: one of the best programmers in the entire industry, John Carmack. He's so good he'd run in circles around Braben a few dozen times with both hands tied behind his back while under the influence of a full bottle of vodka, yet he can't seem to design a game worth the engine that's running under it.

But hey, I'm sure Roberts doesn't give two shits about the irrational dislike some people seem to have for him. I personally think you should criticize his methods, his concepts or his arguments, not his person. That's useless.

Find the star arch that's looking like that, and then just copy/paste the code. That's clearly from a Liberty system so it should be quick to identify.

DLLs can store multiple languages for the same IDS. They're stored under different language codes. FLDev only writes English language codes.

I'm not really bummed. I didn't trust LucasArts to make a good game when their best title in the past five years is TFU.
