Steve's life has just taken a downward turn. His grades from his first semester in college are dismal, his relationship with his girlfriend is rocky at best, and now his dad is shipping him off to some farm for the summer so that he can "build character." What's a poor, lazy, college kid to do?

Take control of Steve as he spends a summer in Fairbook, working on the farm, making new friends, and maintaining old relationships.

You can raise and sell your own crops, but you'll have to work hard to keep your land well watered and free of weeds and insects, or your crops will fail. Stop by the flower shop to buy more seeds, but choose wisely. Some plants take longer to mature, and some crops will get you a better return at the market.

There are four girls who you can spend time with. Maintain a good relationship with them by spending time with them and learning about their hopes and dreams. You can impress them by improving your skills, but if you only focus on one thing, they won't be interested. Build a strong enough friendship, and it might even bloom into romance.

You can plan your weeks and who you spend time with using the weekly scheduler. Customize each week, spend time with who you like, or ignore everyone and work all day. Don't forget to take a break once in a while, or your health will suffer.

The game features nine different endings that change based on your decisions throughout the game. Will Steve finally learn to be responsible? A good farmer, even? Will he make up with his girlfriend, find a new romance, or end up alone?

FreeCol 0.9.2 released

Mar, 09/03/2010 - 22:58

FreeCol 0.9.2 has been released. This is a bug/feature-fix release, the main changes being:

- The increased native land claims in 0.9.1 have been reverted to the more moderate 0.9.0 behaviour, following comment that this made the game too difficult. This feature will be back in a later release, but only after implementing the feature that at least exempts your *first* colony from having to buy its land (as was the case with the original Colonization).

- Fixed a serious bug in privateer combat.

No new features were introduced with this release, and saved games from previous 0.9.x versions should remain compatible. We hope this release will provide a stable, playable and enjoyable version of FreeCol.

Campobasso, Italy - January 26, 2010The new year begins like the previous ended, that is, bringing a nice surprise to BOH players!Today sees the release of update9, which:

BTMappack-1.05-3b1 Released

Sab, 30/01/2010 - 18:13

I have released the latest version of the BTMappack. The version is BTMappack-1.05-3b1.

The BTMappack is a collection of community contributed maps that I maintain for the cross platform game Legends. Legends is similar to Tribes, a FPS+Z team oriented game and is freely available for Linux and Windows.

Legends, the actual game, is available from http://www.legendsthegame.net. This mappack is an addon for that game and greatly increases the number of maps from the basic list that come installed with the game.

Here is the final list of changes that were done prior to release of this version of the BTMappack.

12/20/09

Updated CanyonCrusadeBT and CanyonCrusadeBTNR (change in mis file to hopefully correct forcefield not open after generators down)

1/9/2010

Updated FinalFrontierBTt1 to t3
Updated MoonbaseBT-LGt1 to t3
Updated MoonsideBT-LGt1 to t2
Updated StardustBT-LGt1 to t2

1/13/2010

Added DogboneLakeBT (fixed version with corrected in base forcefields and fixed terrain gaps on Alpha Base)
Added AxedBT (OOBs extended to more playable distance from bases)

There were also a number of small fixes and adjustments that are not mentioned in the changelog. They were mostly just corrections for small errors in the maps, nothing major.

Even though this is a finished version of the mappack I am calling this a beta. This does not mean it is not feature complete and playable. It is and all maps are of decent quality. The reason I am calling it a beta is because for several maps I have additional changes and additions that there simply was not enough time in my personal and work life to complete before release. Since I did not want many of the new maps to just sit in the can awaiting those additional changes I decided to go ahead and wrap up what was finished and release it. You should consider THIS to be the actual current mappack and replace all old versions with this one.

On to whats new in this version of the mappack:

New Maps

ArdenaBT (Knochensage, converted to CTF by me)
An excellent small map by Knochensage. Good for small numbers of players to large.

AxedBT (Legends Devs, OOBs extended to more playable distance from bases)
A correction for a long standing and annoying oversight in the maps OOB settings.

AzraelBTt3 (me)
Referenced in the following post thread. More changes in a future version on this map.

BloodMoonBTt1 (me, based on an evolved idea from Defender)
Set on an alien planet. More changes in a future version on this map. Referenced here.

DM_DeathlyQuietBT (Wraith plus Legends Devs, converted from CTF by me)
A very Quake style map and much like DM maps you would see in that game.

DM_GuhlBT (Knochensage, converted to Deathmatch by me)
Another great map from Knochensage. The best DM map in Legends in my opinion.

DM_HeliousBT (Knochensage, converted to Deathmatch by me)
Also a great map from Knochensage.

DM_HorusBT (Diskreet, converted from CTF by me)
A conversion to DM from the CTF version. Something like the empty terrain DM maps in Legends but a little more playable.

DogboneLakeBT (Legends Devs/Pak with various fixes by me)
Fixes for several long standing errors in the map.

FinalFrontierBTt3 (me)
A map set in space with the teams bases separated by a field of crystal like asteroids.Also a lower gravity map. More changes in a future version on this map. (server admins see note below)

GuhlBT (Knochensage, converted to CTF by me)
A very high intensity CTF conversion of another of Knochensages great maps. Works with small numbers of players and goes absolutely bonkers as player numbers climb.

MoonbaseBT-LGt3 (me, based on original version from Defender)
Set on a moon like planet. Also a lower gravity map. More changes in a future version on this map. (server admins see note below)

MoonsideBT-LGt2 (me, somewhat based on a different map from Defender using the Tribes 1 Broadside style)
Set on a moon like planet. Also a lower gravity map. More changes in a future version on this map. (server admins see note below)

NerebusBT (Knochensage, converted to CTF by me)
A really nice map by Knochensage, great stand in for the Ocular type of map.

OldBigOneBT (based on the original Legends Dev version removed from Legends a while back)
A revival of what I considered the better version of Big One before it was revised.

ParanosBT (Knochensage, converted to CTF by me)
A really nice map by Knochensage, also a great stand in for the Ocular type of map.

StardustBT-LGt1 (me, based on original version from Defender)
Set on a moon like planet. Also a lower gravity map. More changes in a future version on this map. (server admins see note below)

StonehengeBTt1 (me plus Legends Devs, inspired by original Tribes version)
An attempt by me to bring into the game a map somewhat closer feeling to the original Stonehenge from Tribes 1. This plays MUCH faster than Monolith does. More changes in a future version on this map.

There are 123 maps in this version of the mappack. Thats quite a jump from the old version.

Various Map Fixes

ArenaGuhlBT (corrected lava layer)
CanyonCrusadeBT (change in mis file to correct forcefield not shutting off after generators down with Base Rape)
CanyonCrusadeBTNR (change in mis file to correct forcefield not shutting off after generators down with Base Rape)
CitadelsBTv1 (small placement correction)
DangerousCrossingBTv1 (terrain fixes)
DayFallsBTv1 (small placement correction)
DustDevilBTv2/DustDevilBTMissilev2 (lowered visibility to increase player performance)
FirestormBT (small adjustments)
IslandHopBT (terrain correction)
MynarisBT (added generators to each teams base to allow for base rape in ctf)
NightOnSummitMtnBT (fixed incorrect light on skiramp model and terrain fixes)
NightShiftBT (small terrain corrections)
RainFallsBTv1 (small placement correction)
SeptimusPrimeBT (fixed flagstand model, small terrain corrections)
SkiSummitMtnBT (fixed incorrect light on skiramp model and terrain fixes)

Note to Server Admins regarding Low Gravity Maps:
Your server may not be set correctly for Low Gravity maps. If that is the case your server will ignore the -39 gravity setting in the map and use only the default -45 setting. This will eliminate the feeling of low gravity for players in the LG maps. Please check that the following line is in your prefs file:

$pref::Server::ForceDefaultGravity = 0;

Note to Players regarding old versions:
If you have been playing Legends for a while you are likely to have old copies of the mappack and other old files hanging around your copy of Legends. If you experience problems such as not being able to connect to a server with error messages kicking you off check that you dont have any old files left in your copy of Legends. Remove these files as they may cause conflicts with the current mappack.

To download this newest version of the mappack go to:

http://www.filefront.com/user/lpbbear

Download the file called BTMappack-1.05-3b1.zip

Extract the file and read the various howtos before attempting to add the mappack into your copy of Legends.

The smaller unf version of the mappack should be in the Legends downloads area soon also.

If you are a mapper who would like to get your map in circulation please contact me about how to submit your work. Unfortunately, because of the amount of time and effort this requires I doubt there will be another mappack release for some time. In any event your contributions are welcome.

Thats it for this version. If you are interested in contributing to the mappack, please contact me. That can be maps, models, textures etc, but they should be your own creations. Not ripped from your favorite game.

Please read the unfinished mappack guidelines before submitting.

http://legendsthegame.net/community/mappack:readme

Thanks to all of you who patiently sat through all the downloads during the testing phases of these maps.
