@ TheDvDMan

Thanks for your help, my man!

You just solved my problem.

Just only a small change but with big meters away.

DOCK!!! 😄

Then your inside now.

No more manual docking. Damn! I hate it. :evil:

Believe that! I am working to solve this docking problem yesterday and searched for answers at different forums and tried their options but didn’t work at all. Then here I just solve it by helping me by the account name - TheDvDMan.

Oh Yeah! My Man! Right there! :lol:

THANKS VERY MUCH TheDvDMan!!!

Am I not too much excited or extremely satisfied? HEHE! 😄

THANKS

I’m always glad to help! Just don’t get over-excited so much, eh?

i can only guess thy problem is the 1.4 patch… maybe a developer or admin over here can give more precise info on that.

Gaahh… If it is, I wonder if there’s a way to unpatch it without reinstalling. >< I would like to, but only because I’m lazy.

Anyway, another question I have is about Suns. I’m using Freelancer Explorer to make systems, and I noticed that no matter what color I set to stuff, it doesn’t change the color of the sun. So I’m guessing you can’t change it unless you mess with the model itself huh?

Also, is there a way to increase the size of the sun? I’m guessing not without touching the models. ><

Um, there are two modes a tablet can use. One is “Mouse Mode”, which leaves the cursor in the same position your pen left the surface. The other (which is likely why the game spazzes out) picks up the pointer wherever the pen touches down. It’s adjustable in the Wacom driver utility. Curious though, you didn’t also get a mouse with your tablet? Even my crappy little Bamboo came with one.

i fixed the problem in the nvidia control panel . i found a bunch of ipv6 stuff that was enabled and so i disabled them. you see sometimes its not enough that you just check off the ipv6 in internet protocals you have snoop around like a blood hound lol.

i had been struggling with milkshape and exporting the models to obj files (with textures)

ive worked it out with some help

ive not used gmax, does it import obj files if it does then it should work but youll need to edit the obj mtl file (when you export as obj 2 files get created, the model (obj) and the texture/material files (mtl))

if you edit the mtl file youll see each section has numbers then the line where the material is pointed to, only thing is not a lot of programms can read dds files (freelancer material files)

so they need converting to png 1st

then edit the line in the mtl change the .dds to.png resave making sure you save as .mtl then should work

here a render of a shire i did

shire

done figured it out why colours not working

becuase i converted the dds files to jpg. the jpg files are not possible to be a little transparent

pngs are

so this is how you convert the ships etc to obj to import to anywhere

1. convert all dds files in the texture folder of freelancer to png files

2. import to milkshape the cmp’s

3. export as obj’s

4. edit the obj mtl file to point to png files, exactly same line as before but change from .dds to .png in the material line (youll see it)

5. import obj into whatever 3d render you have

thats it after 3 days worked it out

then you can do same with the weapons etc

Or possibly you have a good/equipment nickname mismatch. Run your mod through one of the hash decoders. There’s two on my site (CreateID/WhatIs pair, and/or CRCTool).

Did not intend to start a rumble ,LOL

but, every app has it’s purpose. pro’s n con’s

Also, one may not know how to do in one app, may know how to do in another.

Peace.

Well, in this case, “May the Force be with you” Nova!

Lets get back to the subject pls.

fixed it. code for Rh01_01_Base in mbases.ini was missing.

er, please, look on previous page. i have attached a translation already.

Which one? initialworld or faction_props?

Hehe… HL2… some of my favorite moments in my 32yrs of gaming… (well… 26…) are found in the final stages of that game, the newest SMOD is a work of art, easily letting you create skirmishes of your own that are NEVER the same stage twice (the version that uses CS modes).

Its all one great cashcow now 😞 there are only really a handfull of companies left that still (appear to) care more for the game than the overall end $ figure projection… wich they say… is crucial to financing development of any other game… or the next game. The “big” guys are now almost gone… as stated mr roberts wont be coming back, Romero’s making too much $ on phone apps… and carmack’s safely hidden away inside a rocket somewhere… Gabe is around… but he’s busy making the next “big thing” on steam… and his whole world is HL/STEAM, The other guys like (sir)Garriot & Mollunux (think that’s how its spelt) are still in love with Gods/Wizards and general… point and click…

I can go on… but the crux of it is… there’s simply no-one left to do it like they used to. Freelancer can possibly be heralded as an end of an era… with the X type space sim taking firm hold just after, and now EVE pulling massive numbers in, everyone want’s in on the MMO scene too…

As was stated in a previous post GE has the torch now, though still very basic… it’s written by one that knows what it is to be a space sim fan, and has a love for Freelancer possibly greater than myself… that gives me hope for the continuation of the … dare i say… lancer bloodline

Regarding chained animations, the stock mining ship is interesting (DATA\SHIPS\UTILITY\MINING\mining.cmp). The three starboard arms are all Rev, but the first two port arms are Rev, with the third being Sphere. Same effect, though.

Guys - I have a cheap solution for everyone who continues to have these frustrations.

You can now buy a desktop tower up to 2GHz with good sized disk and reasonable graphics card for less than £30 +delivery on e-bay.

Go get one for FL only, and rest your eyes and heart and spend your free time with your friends in Freelancer. Life is too short.

Use your new-fangly PC for the latest games that need it.

Scale_boy looks like you have a flame or engine or damage fuse effect attached to a hardpoint there?

Can you post your DATA\EQUIPMENT\goods.ini entry for the ship? And also the DATA\SHIPS\shiparch.ini entry for it too, then we may be able to help you spot the problem.

prime got it, was a fuse problem. Theres a copy of my whole script on page one of this thread.

thanks for the help anyway.
