obj to sur
• T Timmy51m

  All the old posts relating to it seem to be locked off, is it still available for download anywhere, or is there some other tool being used these days?

  Edit: Disregard this, I found an sur exporter for milkshape on Adoxa’s site. Awesome tool. The guy is a legend, so many amazing tools, plugins, hacks, and just an all round super helpful person.

  I don’t know why someone hasn’t made a tribute mod, I think it would have to be a bit like Voyager from the original star trek motion picture, Adoxa returns from deep space as a shrine at the centre of a monstrous nebula filled with all the knowledge of Freelancer. There can’t be a mod out there these days that isn’t built on the back of his work in some way.

  You have my thanks once again Adoxa.

How to get Vanilla Freelancer running in 2025 (no cd)
• R robocop

  Thanks Raik, that was the problem… Dummy me.
  Worked fine with a brand new vanilla character. Once I got FLMM working properly everything loads fine.
  Sometimes you just need to work out these things by talking it out with someone else.
  Thanks for steering me in the right direction.

Amount of NPCs at a bar
• T Timmy51m

  @CommanderArgelo Yeah, I thought it had worked in the past. I’ll have to test spacepop for ships in space when I get a chance, maybe I’m just getting old and mad lol.

  Disregard that, I don’t think basepop changes that at all, at least not from a quick test.

How do Countermeasures really work?
• T Timmy51m

  @Beagle Have you tried approaching the problem from the missile end instead of the cm? Making missiles slower and dummer until you do get a good cm effect?

  @CommanderArgelo Have a look at EXE/freelancer.ini and you’ll find these entries. I think from memory some of them shouldn’t be messed with, but I think spacepop and basepop might work, I’ve definitely played with them in the past. Try changing basepop to one of these BELOW_NORMAL, NORMAL, ABOVE_NORMAL, same with spacepop

  [Initial SP DLLs]
  path = …\dlls\bin
  DLL = Content.dll, GameSupport, HIGHEST
  ; required to operate gates and docks
  ; required to create ships in space
  DLL = Content.dll, SpaceSupport, NORMAL
  DLL = Content.dll, BaseSupport, NORMAL

  DLL = Content.dll, StoryLauncher, BELOW_NORMAL ;story/static missions
  DLL = Content.dll, SpacePop, LOWEST ;populator
  DLL = Content.dll, AISandbox, BELOW_NORMAL
  DLL = Content.dll, TestAutomation, BELOW_NORMAL
  DLL = Content.dll, BasePop, LOWEST

How to get Vanilla Freelancer running in 2025 (no cd)
• R Raikkonen

  @robocop Try wiping out the Freelancer folder in My Documents/My Games (after backing up your MP ID of course)

  Also as its MP, are you 100% sure you are loading a Vanilla character? e.g. no FLU modified equipment/ships mounted?

• R robocop

  Running Windows 11 Pro.
  Game installs fine, noCD patch applied, no other mods.
  Game opens fine, I get to the character selection screen, select my char, enter game, and a black window opens up and nothing…
  When I alt-tab out to switch the black window closes and Freelancer.exe is not running in task manager.
  What’s up?

NPC Shield wont go under 10%
• T Timmy51m

  @CommanderArgelo I might try again if I find spare time, I just wasn’t expecting to encounter other problems along the way. Hope you get to the bottom of it one way or another.

NPC Shield wont go under 10%
• T Timmy51m

  @Gold_Sear It’s weird mate, he gave me a download link for the mod, it won’t even launch for me, so there’s not much point trying to replicate what he has. There’s lots of mods to shields, loadouts, equipment, you won’t replicate it by plugins and hacks alone.
