Good to hear! For Freelancer HDE I encountered a similar issue where my upscaled mission and news images looked bad in-game because they were saved as 24-bit TGA. At the time I worked around it by saving them as 32-bit TGA or dds instead. Now we finally have a proper solution.

Some hacks which I posted in the HDE Discord and private chats but as far as I know aren’t used anywhere else:

rp8.dll, 6AD9, 0i 
= display adapter index, i.e. the monitor Freelancer will run on (0 = main adapter/monitor). 
~BC46 02/03/2024 13:44

content.dll, CCFAD, 
C2 -> C1 
= Ignore gate locks (prevent access denied).
~BC46 08/08/2024 22:05

content.dll, 1195C0, 0.2f 
= Reputation needed for factions to offer missions on the job board. 
The player's reputation must be greater than or equal to the given value in order for the missions to show up. 
~BC46 22/09/2024 14:47

content.dll, 1195BC, -0.2f 
= Second minimum reputation needed for factions to show missions on the job board. 
This value is only tested if the minimum specified at 1195C0 is not met. 
The player's reputation must be greater than the given value in order for the missions to show up.

content.dll, 60D0F, 74 -> EB 
= Faction NPCs will offer missions regardless of the player's reputation. 
~BC46 22/09/2024 14:47

shading.dll, F94B, 0C -> 00 
= Fix color banding with 24-bit TGA textures (render them as 32-bit).

@GoobleGaming are you sure you are launching the Freelancer HD shortcut instead of the Freelancer shortcut? The original one won’t launch in the same way you are describing.

@GoobleGaming Hi there, would you be able to provide your FLSpew.txt file? It can be found in C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Freelancer and might give us a better idea of what’s going wrong when you launch the game!

Hi folks! I’m on my way to cross off another point of my list. I’ll post some intermediate results:

#min distance between waypoints for behavior = wander
#Gold_Sear, 6 January 2025
File: content.dll
118114: 1500f
|-
#max distance between waypoints for behavior = wander
#Gold_Sear, 6 January 2025
File: content.dll
118118: 3000f
|-
#randomize flight direction for behavior = wander
#Gold_Sear, 6 January 2025
File: content.dll
C14EB: B9 D5 FF FF FF F7 F9 [ 8D 14 33 83 C6 0C 4D ]
C1508: 8D 14 33 8D 34 86 D9 C0 D8 4E EC 4D F7 D8 EB 05 90 [ D8 4E EC D9 C1 D8 4E F0 D9 5C 24 24 D9 C9 D8 4E F4 ]
C1520: 1A D8 4E F0 D8 47 C4 D9 5A 04 D8 4E F4 D8 47 08 D9 5A 08 8D 34 86 83 C6 0C 85 ED EB 10 [ 5C 24 14 D9 44 24 24 8B 44 24 14 D8 47 04 D9 5C 24 18 D9 44 24 28 8B 4C 24 18 D8 47 08 ]

I’ll put everything on KraftFragment once the entire point has been resolved.

@IrateRedKite : do I need to provide Google account details?

IrateRedKite

@Gold_Sear This has sort of been on hiatus, but I’d definitely be up for some help with it! The sheet as far as I know is still up to date, as a few folks started work, but things stalled out a bit. If you request access I can give you edit permissions. I’ll try and start picking up a little bit here and there in my spare time as well, it’s about time it was sorted out!

@robocop you’d need to restart the application with the shortcut switch. Usually it just outputs into the same folder as flserver.exe (typically EXE), but as far as I understand it is possible to specify a hard path.

Gold_Sear

I know it’s a bit late, but count me in on this project. I won’t be able to work on it every single day, however. Did have a plan to work through the archive some time ago, so this will be a good ‘stick behind the door’.

IrateRedKite

You’re correct, FLServer doesn’t generate FLSpew in the same way, only the client does. You can log the Freelancer server console log by using the -l shortcut switch, but there unfortunately isn’t a way to get additional log data out of the server ala FLSpew.
