<br />
<strong>Overview</strong><br />
So just what the hell is this you might be wondering.<br />
The project's main goals are:</p>
<ul>
<li>The collection and preservation of Firefall related content, be that game builds, concept art, fan art.</li>
<li>The reverse engineering and documentation of the games assets and protocols.</li>
<li>The development of a server emulator</li>
<li>A friendly place to hang out and reminisce over what was</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Who we are</strong><br />
We are a mishmash of Firefall players that loved the game and believe it was something special and worth trying to preserve and resuscitate.<br />
Hopefully you will join us and help unravel the secrets of the games inner workings!</p>
<p><strong>What we have so far</strong><br />
A quick overview of what we have so far:</p>
<ul>
<li>A large collection of Firefall related art assets for you to browse <a href="https://gallery.themeldingwars.com/" rel="nofollow">here</a></li>
<li>A collection of almost all publicly released Firefall builds</li>
<li>Complete reverse engineering and parsing of a few of Firefall's file formats</li>
<li>Partial understanding of others</li>
<li>Enough of the networking protocol reversed to be able to login and start loading a zone (Can't fully zone in yet but close!!)</li>
<li>Custom tools to help work with the various file formats</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>In closing</strong><br />
What we hope to achieve is by no means easy, at all. Reverse engineering the formats and protocols alone is hard work, building a server emulator on top of that even more so.<br />
We are under no illusion that this is hard and odds are it won't result in a working emulator like you would like. Regardless we are going to try!</p>
<p>We hope to see you help us and see how far we can get. Lets try and preserve something that really was special!</p>

    /> I would love a download of what you have so far...I have the latest version of Firefall client but of course can't get past login... You don't by any chance have a 3D model(s) of New Eden do you? I've already created a halfway decent FPS engine and I would like to load that in...it wouldn't be Firefall but people could join and run around and stuff. Here's a video of the game I created with it, mind you I can change it quite easily: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGHotjWEdZo&amp;t=1s" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGHotjWEdZo&amp;t=1s</a></p>
