Tachyon: The Fringe Database, more Tachyon info than you can shake a big ship at

These are 3rd party files for download that may enhance your Tachyon: The Fringe playing experience.

*Note* Neither Tachyon: The Fringe Database nor it's owner can be held responsible for anything negative that happens from use of these files. (The likelyhood of something bad happening is very slim, at the worst you'd have to reinstall your copy of Tachyon *Mock Horror*). The Files are in no particular order and we are working on a menu of sorts to fix it...

*Note* The download problem has been fixed. You no longer have to download the html file to your desktop and then click the link, but you do have to right click on it and select "Save Target As..."

You may either scroll down the list of files that we have available, or you may make your selection by right clicking on the leftmost part of your screen to automatically scroll to a category. Disabled because it doesn't work worth crap



Alternate loading program files/patches for Tachyon: The Fringe

This first file is one that we would definately recommend. It is a patch that you put in your tachyon directory (it's only one file). When you run the program file it makes tachyon more stable, reduces the chances of getting a space.icd error, and speeds up the gameplay (This was my experience). An icon is included for your eyecandy needs...

No Fog
size:514kb

This one is similar to the nofog patch. You put in your tachyon directory (it's only one file) just like you would with the nofog patch. From what I could tell it get's rid of the remote sapper bug and speeds up the gameplay, plus a few other misc things (This was my experience). An icon is included for your eyecandy needs...

Screenshot galleries of the SSX1 and SSZ1 from Stealth Shipyards

I got a little happy with taking screenshots of the SSX1 prototype, They are all 640x480 and I weeded out most (if not all) the boring ones. =)

Tachyon: The Fringe file extractors/repackers

Extract the .pcx files (flat picture). The .pak files are the useful ones though. This lets you add/delete/extract. *WARNING* Full extraction takes out about 8 thousand files and a LOT of your harddrive. Open up the .pff files in your tachyon directory or cd. NovaCentral will make a full manipulation program (and post it) when they finish up a few other side projects, hopefully. (Novacentral Mirror)

*FwO* Raven PFF Extractor

Now that you have extracted the files and modified them, put em back into the pff so the game can access them. (drag file over the packit.bat icon). Note: This is a basic rip off of the PackIt for DF, correcting file names / errors.
