do we see #15 and #16 in vanilla and where? just to have an idea of what these effects are without wasting time trying and checking

sdk 1.3b not vanilla?
select_equip.ini

True Gisteron!! If you don’t want to make own effect
But now i know how to make more than 8 nozzles enabled on big ships.
How do you think - time was wasted for nothing?

14 is the ‘fake jumphole’ in the badlands, near the sp research station (was it´named Benford?)

15 is the one near the second research station you enter in sp (bretonia?)

16 - no idea where…

Gisteron

lol, SDK is pure vanilla… although lil bit buggy the 1.3b version. i’d recommend 1.5
and yes, i’d know where to find the files, i just wanted to be informed where we’ve seen them ingame to have a more precise idea of what they are than a short description.

It does not downloading here 1.5
In game - dunno. I have played single-player Freelancer long time ago

TheDvDMan

WOWOWOWOW!!! WAIT A SEC! What is this SDK???

TheDvDMan

The effect made a mess. Now I need to recode the jump from RKS to Sirius… Not souch a big deal. Or maby I only think it isn’t…

Gisteron

the freelancer SDK is an archive with all encrypted ini files of (vanilla) FL decrypted.

TheDvDMan

So where is it?

Gisteron

can’t remember, where i found v1.5 but 1.3b should be in our downloads section at least.
correcture: v1.5b is there, too, on the second page

Sizer

there’s this nice little search box, right to your left.

but since im SUCH a nice damned bloke, here ya go.

HERE.

No it’s not just the ini files decrypted.

It is just the vanilla FL game, not a mod, but there are many errors fixed too.

FL was an unfinished work, with open threads everywhere. Some of the early modders got down and fixed as many as they could find.

It is a good starting point when you want to make a mod based on the vanilla game, but there are still errors that were not detected even in version 1.5.

But I seem to remember that Lancer Solurus and Adoxa also continued and fixed many more and put the fixes into their own version of the SDK - adoxa will tell you more.

So one of these may be a better starting point if they are both still vanilla, I don’t know this.

My “SDK” is Jason’s Freelancer Patch (aka JFLP - “jay-flip”). It’s based on Buck Danny’s Unofficial FL SP 1.4 patch (itself based on SDK 1.3b), plus most bits from 1.5b15, plus quite a few things I found myself and a few things from other people (a detailed description of changes is provided). An update to JFLP is forthcoming, once I finish off a few other things.

Gisteron

as far as i found, there are only ini’s in both 1.3b and 1.5b SDK archives, so i’d not consider it a mod. moreover, if i let FLScan run above freelancer with SDK files, it detects in the inis most of the dozens of mistakes that it detects without, so… sometimes bini makes mistakes decrypting, this is what the modders have corrected partially, but not too much built in coding mistakes.

adoxa

I just ran FLScan v1.3 - 0 Errors Found. If you have errors, they aren’t from JFLP. And I didn’t use bini, I used TINI, which uses Freelancer’s own code to read the ini files.

StarTrader

Where can I find TINI?

Absolute Rubbish, Gisteron!

This is your opinion only and is untrue.

First - I already said the SDKS are not mods, each is a set of fixed vanilla FL files.

Second - There are hundreds of fixes in the SDKs, which are still not detected by either of the checkers we have now.

Use a comparator program like Winmerge to find the differences between the original files and the SDK files of each release, 1.3 and 1.5 - these differences are the fixes.

It’s not courteous to devalue the considerable work the guys put into the two SDK’s, especially when they were found mainly by eye and test and retest, without nice tools like LS’s FL Error Checker.

So please don’t make any more throw-away and untrue remarks, I resent it, knowing the work that went into the SDKs, especially since they are not here to answer you.

Or say the same to adoxa about his work, since he’s still here, and see his response!

TINI at Adoxa’s site (http://freelancer.adoxa.cjb.net in profile)

Yep, can unTini original freelancer ini’s and grab effects :))

Sorry, missed the second page!!

So why not delete your post instead of this?

Gisteron made me grumpy today, watch out all of you!!
