Conventional Modding

lolwut productions

lol, havent watched Phils vids ina loooong time… think imma have a nostalgia trip 😄

Huhu, masternerdguy ^^^^^^^^^^^^

Eh…could you might be a bit more specific?

Ah, I didn’t realize that. I do know there was another packer/unpacker pair, but the packer would generate junk once the file was too big. The bini-tools packer is okay, but decided it was better to write my own than modify it to work without the quotes.

ahhhhh, thanks for clearing that up :p. Last night, I had the thrusters set for 500 m/s and it drained the power in less than 10 seconds.

just delete the Freelancer.ini from the mod
For Widescreen you dont need this file
(its an [;Display] section –> a deactivated section)

You were right, it works without the freelancer.ini, thanks. (it was a bit confused because that wide screen mod contains this file, i glad it doesnt have to use)

But… im just curious:-)…. how can i fix it?

Ras made that i think… over on the FLcommunity site goes for about 2 pages if i can recall… I have it saved here I’ll send it to ye…

As for posting it… I’ll ask Ras about sending the info here as well or reposting it myself if he allows 😉

Freakin stuff makes my head spin… lolz 8-)

Thanks Bejay!

range = 2500 //visual range
cargo_scan_range = 2000 //scan range
lootable = false

You also need hex edit FL, check this topic.

@Arvis Taljik
I know that Arvis, i just want to know how to set it.

@Mindhunter
So, the value is a float not int? Well, i get try this, Thanks.

Wow, I would have never thought of that, this brings thing into another perspective, Thank you so much for the hint. Fortunately I’ve managed to ‘kinda’ fix the issue by taking the physics for another cap ship from another mod and by increasing the dock radius of objects to 600. This way small ships dock the same way and large ships don’t have to position themselves perfectly for the docking sequence to begin. Still this angular drag thing makes sence. I will look into it as soon as I have the time. At the moment I’m continuing the Destructible Universe mod. If’ you’re interested here’s a link:

Man you saved my life! Thank you so much! fianlly I can get that 1mil poly model into freelancer :))))) just kidding…it’s only about 850K poly 😛

Could you elaborate please mr solurus? 🙂

This is purely experimentation to get some idea of how things could play out in another project of mine.

I’m learning C# at the moment for use with the XNA framework to program my own game in top down arcade style but with rpg, rts and arcade combat elements. I’m currently working on the design document so if anyone has any ideas such as things you felt were missing from Freelancer, i’d appreciate it.

Particulary if it relates to universe interaction, i.e; how the player can effect the world he/she plays in.

As far as i remember most bigger mods are strong to play.
KI kicking your … is part of FL and when i played on a vanilla server the first time i got also bashed by various factions 🔨

I hate to admit it but, I remember the first time I join a multi-player server. I started out ok but then, I got my butt kicked so fast so many times before I had a chance to do anything, it was a month or two before I decided to go back on one. It was totally unexpected and I was so nervous I made sure I was ready to defend the next time.

I was only using a Laptop with a touch pad at the time and thought I was pretty good with it but, someone convinced me to but a mouse and it’s been on every since, all comers and as many NPCs as the game can muster. 🙂 :evil:

@ crazychop

Once you get that hang of it, you’ll be ok.

Not sure if I got off topic or not but, if so, my bad.

Well, I tracked it down and downloaded the .zip file so I could have a peek at what’s involved. Looks pretty intimidating so far, but I’ll do some digging and see if I can figure out what’s what. Thanks for the lead, I appreciate it.

Could you please post the link to the KNIGHT79’s Ship Component Mod? Thanks.
