    The most useful written tutorial I’ve used is “System building from scratch by Giskard” it’s worth getting a copy since it covers most system building aspects.

    The document is here in among a lot of other FL modding data

    http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/file/913966/25096

    FL companion for trade balancing is essential

    HardCMP for viewing ships etc

    A good editor like Notepad ++ makes ini editing almost enjoyable lol

    Awesome, I might give TNG a try first, I never played it before so it’ll be a new experience for me anyway… 😉

    Thanks fellas. After a couple of days of experimenting and setting the right versions of the sw I was able to get cloaks working. It’s pretty damn cool.

    Funnily enough, I had a MX 440 in the past. And 4 other graphics cards between that and now 😛

    But yeah, I’m really afraid that is caused by your GPU being unable to cope with the effects or an incompatibility with it.

    And to avoid that this is happen again.
    Delete the standard .fl restarts in FLShell –-> Dots

    Like corsair.fl and such.
    These causes those problems.

    I wish it were that easy. Players on my server are not doing that. They are only trading and fighting. Nobody needs rep hacks as often as this lag is occurring.

    Just got JFLP from my site, no problem. Keep trying, I guess…

    Use a Command Prompt to run console programs.

    There was an issue that would cause a crash on startup, usually if restart.fl is corrupted in the my games folder for freelancer.

    Delete your single player files and start FL again and see if that works.

    A command line solution using FlCodec:

    for /r %j in (*.fl) do @flcodec "%j" ```That assumes you're in the Accts\Multiplayer directory and flcodec is also there or on the PATH. It keeps the .fl files and generates decoded .ini files. If you then want to replace them:

    for /r %j in (*.ini) do @move /y “%j” “%~pnj.fl”
