Introducing fan missions to Freedom Force.

[Mr. Cogito]

One year ago I have discovered enormous Thief community focused on creating as much extended content as possible to keep legacy of their beloved game alive.

Would it be possible to do the same with  and it's sibling  ?

I remember FFvtr possesed a pack of fan mission for multiplayer purpose (Red october vs Shadow, battle of gods, 40's heroes action). Why not creating some custom scenerio with existing assets and publish them in similar manner.

For example El Diablo vs Shadow in penicilary centrum (nod to Arkham assylum) made from assets of Blitzkrieg bunker and shadowman's as disturbed inmates. Or making Man'o'war pursuing liberty lad during his very first date with sea urchain (using assets and music from pre Microvave encounter mission). Even the story of how unfrozen Sukov start changing local bandits into his icetroopers using some new powers based on blizard power animation and location from first fight with him.

They were even capable of creating two full blown fan extension pack.

Cannot we do the same to create new freedom force on our own?

There are many, many mission packs for both games. The biggest are probably Benton grey's Marvel Adventures and DC adventures, though he's done others. Here's some links to some mods and other files.

Thank you for that info.

Still, what I mean is more about creating new scenarios for existing and fan made heroes/villains from  rather than external series/universes (thou James Bond idea and W40K were astonishing).

In most of Thief fan missions creators try to extend Garetts (or other Taffers) adventures in the City remaining respectful to originals spirit and setting (or in some case they are not for sake of experimentation with existing formulas).

It's a shame that there is almost no new adventures with existing crew of Freedom Force. Especially (ai voiced/fan dubbed) fan campaigns. Speaking of... I would like to talk about pulp fiction adventures but I am unable due to not playing it myself yet. Even one shot missions with OG crew and some modifications. (making fan mission where you are Mr. Mechanicals brand new type of robots and must protect him by destroying  hideout to unable heroes to respawn Red October style).

Seeing Thief fan mission hub and knowing that Freedom Force is part of Thief legacy would it be hart to reproduce that kind of phenomena? It would be great...even Thief fan base starts from primitive skirmish like mods to then achieve solid plot and atmosphere developed project.

There is even that one yt video that have made me thinking about it...

While there are lots of missions out there for both games, I think that at this point in modders for the game, there is small chance of getting getting new missions done. I've done some work on making some new maps to play around on and looked at "ezscript" on making full missions, but found it a bit limiting on what can be done. Benton is probably the only real mission creator left. I would say your best chance for new missions might be to try to learn the process yourself and see hat you can throw together.

There used to be tons of websites where modders had their work, but most of them are no longer around. Plus, a lot of us used yahoo groups, that were totally taken down by yahoo a few years back. A lot of work is gone, but thankfully some have been preserved to still work with.

As for missions with original and new characters, Dr. Mike had done some great work. his website is down, but it should be available on the wayback machine. Take at look at his work, especially his "Patriot City" mod

Oh, and welcome to the forums!

This is out of my league. And I am no coder.

But if we had gamemodes like Tower Defense simlar to Aram from League of Legends. It's a 1 lane duel. With minions trying to destroy your base and vice versa.

Something like that could give new life to the game.
