New to Freelancer, want to say hello and ask some ask

Hey Welcome aboard!

The FL V1.1 patch doesn’t fix much that will mean anything to a player like yourself - it’s more for the server admins however it’s always worth having it: http://www.mofunzone.com/game_patch_downloads/freelancer_1_1.shtml#

To install the andromeda mod you will need the Mod Manager: http://igx89.home.comcast.net/~igx89/FLMM_Downloads.html

(I am unaware if the 1.4 BETA has any real problems so best stick with V1.3)

once you have installed the mod manager download your andromeda mod : http://www.moddb.com/mods/the-andromeda-experiment/downloads/the-common-wealth-mod-2001b-demo-version

simply open the file that you download and double click its name in the mod manager you downloaded to apply the mod if you need any more help let me know

;D
…. i d prefer the 1.4beta4.

And please check on the mods Homepage 1st,
if you need to activate any patches / addons / etc.

Some mods include that stuff and you might
corrupt your FL or mod installation.

i tried to use that ship in game on my own server. i does not fit too big. i like all my ships around the same scale. it would be intresting to watch the order fly around with x wings and vipers lol ;D

ok, i downloaded the 1.4 Mod Manager and the Mod.
I activated the Andromeda mod and run the game.

But now how can i get the ship in Multiplayer?

(I have a new Character with just 2000 Credits, i know that iam to low at skill but it would be nice to see the andromeda in an shop to know that everything works, not that i play 100 Hours and the mod does not work How can i test it?)

Thanks for help

HazardFN

I know little about the mod, but rest assured if you have activated the mod the ship IS out there… if you dock with a planet and go to the ship dealer (ship icon when docked) see what you can see…

Clawhammer

Does every ship dealer have the same ships ?
And i had to get a better rank to get access?

HazardFN

Not every ship dealer has the same ship no…you have to find the one you want

as for better rank I don’t think it matters as rank increases with money and usually when you have enough money to buy the ship you are a high enough rank anyway…

Clawhammer

ok… does someone know the mod good enough to tell me wich planet it is?

thx

Wolfie

Any particular reason 1.4 beta is better than 1.3? Personally i find 1.4 is utter rubbish as it doesn’t delete mods after you deactivate them, corrupts freelancer on a regular basis, plus it’s script parseing is different meaning it won’t activate some mods correctly. Stick to 1.3 if you don’t want a headache and constantly re-installing FL

FR

…. a prior version of WTS didn’t activat proper with 1.31.
I didn’t test it with the one we run now
(where it might not matter).

And i don’t know (remember) if 1.31 supports 7z packed mod files.

? Offline

You’re right about that, i know 1.31 doesn’t support 7z packed mod files which i know is a requirement for some mods. 1.4 just makes me frustrated to the point where i want to pick up the pc and throw it through the window. This is the main reason i went back to 1.31, less stressful lol

Wolfie

lol, i would suggest sawing it up into dust, put it in a bag, personally visit bill gates, smack the bag on the computer desk, then say “THERE! HERE IS YOUR OS AT THE BEST!”

;D

oh well this only works if its windows trouble tho

Sorry this has taken so long. I do check Starport very often. Im the creator of the Andromeda Expierment and leader of the Common Wealth Mod Studio.

You need to go into the Common Wealth systems and go to Sol. Theres a shipyard in orbit of Earth, Newport News Orbital Shipyard. Theres the only place you can get Andromeda and its Weapons.
