FRED 2 Section

This section is currently under massive construction. FreeSpace Watch intends to release the most comprehensive guide to mission development in the FreeSpace community, so be patient with us as we learn and work with FRED 2.

In the meantime, there are quite a few resources to get you started with FRED 2:

First, be sure to read the excellent FRED 2 documents installed in your FreeSpace 2 directory (freespace 2/data/freddocs/index.htm), which were written by the mind behind many of the FRED 1 reference materials, FRED guru Peter Drake (aka Mundungus).

Second, don't forget to check out the massive FRED Help section right here at FreeSpace Watch, which covers how-tos, reference materials, file lists, critical design resources, and mission design editorials.

If you want to get answers from and participate in a discussion with some of the most dedicated FreeSpace mission designers, you definitely need to join the FreeSpace Developer's List (FDL).

Another excellent resource dedicated to FRED 2 is the FS2 Reference Guide which you can get by clicking that link.
