I assume that when they say “Edit” they mean that I should right click on the Freelancer icon and go to properties and then go to the “Target” line and edit that line so that /Pxxxx appears AFTER Freelancer.exe but BEFORE the quotation mark. But when I do that, a nice Windows message comes up and says: The name ‘C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\EXE\Freelancer.exe /p2303’ specified in the target box is not valid. Make sure the path and the filename are correct.

The instructions seem to be easy… but I know I am doing something wrong, I just don’t know what…

Not Feelancer.exe - you need flserver.exe 🙂 🙂

You can control the port selection with the /P command line option to the FLServer.exe program. For example, if you wanted to have the server host on port 1234, you would use the following command line FLServer.exe /P1234. You can easily modify the provided shortcut to FLServer.exe to include this option. Simply edit the Target line and add your own /Pxxx after the FLServer.exe text.

“Provided shortcut” means start - programs - microsoft games - freelancer - flserver - right click - edit

Something like this.

this was a question i asked recently for my own mod.

I was helped a little here but mostly on Skype.

the way I do it is

open Milkshape 3D 1.8.2.

import a pre-existing icon file (.3db) into the scene,
at the top right click to the “Groups” tab, where it says “Root” rename this to something else like Root_gold_new and then press the Rename button.
go to the Material tab and change the name of the Material group, might be something like “COMMOD_gold” just change it to “COMMOD_gold_new” or something.

remove the existing texture from the material by pressing “none” then click the long button next to it and it will ask you to put in a new file, select your new file from wherever you have it saved (Make sure the image in the file is upside down and .tga format before you add it to the Material because the game will flip it round vertically)

press okay and then export it as a freelancer .3db file,

once in the export menu. drag the scale slider all the way to the left, and press “new 3db file” it will ask you to give it a name, do so and then press continue. your file is now ready to put ingame, just put it in the folder where all the other icons are and add the file path name to the commodity you want to have with the new icon and save.

jump ingame, and there you go… new shiny icon. 🙂

So, if you play in MP, you may want to ask a bug fix. Just tell Discovery team and ask them move the mount hp upper or downner.

Google “Key remapper” - something like this.

Probably, but if you have many keys not working, Goodwill usually has used keyboards for $2.99

Well I don’t know if it would have any effect but my brother took the cd to collage with him (sorry little punk xD) so I installed it with a copy of the cd, it installed fine but it wouldn’t run so I used the no cd download. Again I’m not sure if that would effect it but that’s all I can think of.

^^yes anyone can create a server. if you have the global workaround [which you have to have to connect these days] it’ll automatically be visible.

Wiping that thingie did it. Cool. Many thanks. 🙂

Fixed my grafics but my audio for voices are gone, got only music…. =( Any ideas what i can do??

That’s great news, excellent.

Hi Timmy. Real life called, and no more free time, usual story.

Good to see the servers and player numbers are still high.

I occasionally have the same issue usually a reboot fixes the problem for me. If you’ve done that then check your connection to your router especially if your connecting via wifi, freelancer hates wifi. IF that doesn’t help try the starport’s connection tutorial HERE also right at the top of the page

Discovery already has resolution changing in DSAce. Add “-d1280x1024” to your Disco shortcut.

Thank-you. So obvious too!

Somehow I forgot that you have to fly to the waypoints and dock…I was trying to just fly into it.

Try to remove your characters…

They lost the source code? It was not long ago I was reading about how supposedly impressive their temperature controlled source code storage facilities were. It was an interview on bit-tech if memory serves me, have to try and find it again. They’re supposed to have kept everything they’ve ever done. Perhaps it’s a nice room with nothing in it 😉

fuken’ awesome!
Curious how u did managed to have it.
Need hud like that! - only text and icons to display!

Well, I agree, I did mine like that, just add opacity in utf.

The LODs are defined in the shiparch.ini or the solararch.ini (LODRanges = ).
The first value must be 0, the second is where the next LOD level begins and so on for every level.

But normal there should be these problems you’re describing.
