Save Editor newplayer

VNM51

Hi all,

I have a weird problem with this save editor 1.0 : if i edit the newplayer.fl and the loadouts, the newplayer.fl jump back to its default value in the game (ge_fighter, etc…), and after the file itself shows the defaults again.
The file doesnt have write protection. The new equips could be found on the starflier but thats all.

What did i miss?

Thanks in advance

Usually happens when the file cannot be written to - perhaps because it is in use, either that or the program has an unfixed bug.

Either that or the single player file is uneditable and a bit of code in Freelancer makes sure it is returned to default on load to prevent tampering or cheating in SP…

such things are possible through INI editing anyway - you can also edit a single player save, so start a new game then save then edit the save file instead

The file couldnt be in use because every time after exit from the game i deactivate my mod and close the flmm, so no freelancer or its programs are runing.

You mean i save my game at the begining and modding that?
Hm, thanks i will try.

No luck

The save editor opens it but it is coded

**Actually I think you just answered it yourself…

“exit from the game i deactivate my mod and close the flmm”

FLMM writes the original file back if you have the newcharacter.fl in your mod.**

@Lancer:

**Actually I think you just answered it yourself…

“exit from the game i deactivate my mod and close the flmm”

If its true, then all of my ini files in my mod directory should back too…
Example: if i made a new entry in the shiparch.ini in my mod folder for a ship and after i exit the game and deactivate it, then my shiparch.ini would be same as the orig but its not.

And in my previous post i wrote i tried to edit the savegames. If i want to edit the newplayer.fl that appears in right form.

FLMM moves the savegames once a mod gets (de-)activated, so try with activated modification.

Same result. Appears like:

I dont get it. In the save editor it appears like a block., not like here.
Anyway, i have no clue what are these numbers instead of names at the ship_archtype, cargo, equip, etc…
Im affraid, if i want to make new factions, i’d must modify the newplayer.fl, and its turn back after deactivation by flmm, then how can i make it?
Many modder here made new entries for new factions as i saw at the tutorial part, so it can be done somehow.
I really need a hand.

Thanks in advance
