So that's all I have. 60+ links to tutorials that relate to some form of Freedom Force modification. I'll try my best to keep this list up to date. If you have something to add, please do.
Major thanks to Tiobe, (double props to) Stumpy, and everyone whose tutorial I'm linking to. Hopefully, this will help everyone keep up with what's what.
STICKY PLEASE!
thanks for putting this togeather for us Prev, it will be most helpfull to the new guys and us older ones as well.
Stickied!
Thanks, Prev. :thumbup:
(BTW, I took the liberty of updating the Miscellaneous FF Game Topics / FAQ link to point to the more up-to-date version here rather than the one on the archive.)
I tried download the 2 installers of the "Repeating Mesh Animations Fix" topic, but I received a "Sorry, the file you requested is not available." warning.
The file used to fix syntax errors is not available too.
May someone, please, re-upload them?
Thanks!

Thanks a lot, Prev!
This is an incredible amount of information. Thank you to everyone involved in putting this together. I think it will take me a few months to go through all of this, but I look forward to it.

Thanks, big guy! I should know you would already covered it.
This list is back to being fully functional thanks to stumpy and the mod/admin staff! please use it at your own leisure.
We should add FR World's FX tutorial under that section in the first post.
http://frworld.wikispaces.com/Installing+FX
don't know if this is the right place to put this, but I have a couple of ideas for new fx. i know that there was a fx tutorial on fxforce, but is there anything that shows how to make new fx using nifSkope?
If you want a very simple Tutorial (But long and with lots of pictures), I can send you something, but as far as real Tutorials, I don't believe that I have seen anything anywhere.
i will take whatever you have. :thumbup: and what exactly is a 'real' tutorial? :unsure:

A real Tutorial is one written by someone other than me. :P
The link for adding a character to the campaign is down.
Unfortunately, wikispaces no longer offers free wiki hosting for non-education wikis (including non-profit ones, like FRWorld). I don't know who here was an admin on the FRWorld wiki, but it might be possible for them to arrange access to that content, at least for long enough to get enough of it to make it available elsewhere.

I downloaded everything I could, all the HTML Files, but don't have a clue as to what to do with them. There was a Forum Member who I thought was setting something up, but it's been a while since I've talked to him. If anyone wants these files, and wants to try and set up a new site similar to the Wiki, I would be glad to send the files their way.
On a side note, M25's Mod Tools are no longer hosted as well, but I do have them hosted on MediaFire as a temporary solution until proper hosting can be found.
In the meantime, try this: http://www.mediafire.com/view/h317h2hk4wwp4cn/Modding_Tutorial_for_Adding_Characters_to_FF1_by_Wickerman.docx
I'll try and pitch on this on my end as well. I'm pretty adamant about getting community effort going were we all try and educate one another and increase our skills. I also want to current links list for meshes and skin, more on that elsewhere.
Do any of these happen to mention game menu changing or something like that?

I am not sure what you are asking here. If you can be a bit more exact (perhaps give an example), maybe it will ring a bell with someone.
Never mind, I fixed my problem.
Wow! I just got back into the game and can't remember how I installed everything. These tutorials will come in handy. I saved everything on an external hard drive. Now I just need to install everything in the right order in the right place again. Then once I do that I'm going to download all the cool stuff here that has been created over the last five years or so. Thanks for putting this list together. I'm going to need it.
Easy way to install :ffvstr:
1. FFvtTR (obviously :P)
2. EzFx 6.0 (found here: http://www.alexff.com/goodies.php)
3. FFX 3.3.1.0 (found here: http://ffx.freedomforceforever.com/)
4. PFX 1.2 (found here: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/2455688dit53d/FRP2_Backups#yqsrnslblsvy7)
5. FF Mod Tools (found in the same spot as EzFX)
6. EzHero 5.7 (found in the same spot as EzFX)
That should set you up pretty nicely ^_^
Thanks Spydermann. Going to do it this weekend. Just don't have the time I used to.
I stumbled upon this today, and since this seems to come up quite a bit, I figured I'd post the Link in the event that anyone is interested.
https://www.howtogeek.com/340372/how-to-take-screenshots-of-your-pc-games/
Just a heads up though, I have not had a chance to try this out yet, but if anyone does, and it works, please let me know, and I'll clean it up and put it into a PDF File.

Probably won't happen any time soon, but you could try going here: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Freedom_Force_Resources/info
You should find most of the information that was on the wiki.
For those of you using Paint.Net, and would like to use PhotoShop Plug-Ins, there is a tutorial located here:

Hey, would someone edit the wiki Tutorials to point to my new hosting of them now that the wiki is defunct? I don't have all of them, but I'm adding them (slowly).

That would probably have to be Prem since it was his original post. But in the meantime, I had downloaded all of the HTML Files from the Wiki, so if you're interested, I could send you those. Plus, I could send you everything else I've either found or created that's in the Resources Yahoo Group (or is waiting to be placed into the Resources Yahoo Group). For most of those, I should have both PDF Files and Word or Excel Files.
Going to be a bit hard for cyberburn to supply them to you seeing as he is no longer with us unhappily.
I've held my tongue up till now with your necroposting but...check the dates of the posts and pay attention to who you are asking things of. Asking a respected member who is no longer with us does nothing but dredge up old memories and reminds us folks like CB and daglob are no longer around. Doesn't really make folks want to help out when you do stuff like that!
If you are really lucky BG might have them and when he gets time - which is something he is short on right now - maybe point you to yikes they are kept but knowing how busy he is...questionable.
News about cyber burn's passing is easy to find...two or three threads below the news about da glob in the general discussion section. Might i suggest you spend some time reading some of those pages along with the stickie's at the top of each section - you will learn a lot that way and not have to "rely on so many interactions"...because when you do something like this here - it comes off as you didn't even have the respect to spend time looking around the forum first and learning about the community/catching yourself up on what has transpired since you were last here.
BG is short for Benton gray.
Were the tutorials from Yahoo Groups re-uploaded anywhere? If not, I still have them and could upload to mediafire for the time being.
So I'm going to wade in here... I sympathize with not knowing cb was... gone (nothing in here directly links to it, and my guess is you saw dg's thread because I've mentioned his passing multiple times) but DJ is correct that:
A. This is a thread from 3 years ago, and if you had pulled up his account you would see he was last online sep 1st 2020. At minimum he was not currently active.
B. This is an OLD thread, and you would have been better served making a new one ("I saw a thread from 2019 about tutorials, heres a link to it, does anyone here have them?") Rather than necroposting something from 2019, specifically *because* you have no idea who is active, who is dead, who isnt here... etc.
C. I don't put full responsibility on you for it (i want to be clear that i do think it is unfair for dj to fully expect you to just know) but Cyber's passing is recent enough that any amount of board searching would likely have pulled up something, either here or on the discord. So while I dont think you deserve the full reaction dj has showcased, you do bear something like... 10-20% of the responsibility for not even trying to look first. As dj says, the thread about it is still near the top of general discussion (fifth down) and is titled "News about Cyber Burn".
El,
We understand where your comming from trust me we do and everyone has stated that we understand where you are comming from.
No one is blaming you directly...
It's just very painful for us especially many of us O.G.s
That have been on here 20+ Years.
We either grew up or grew older together.
It still hurts me just thinking about it.
Its just painful to be reminded that's all.
