Error: Unable to find section (1 rep):
[Player]
in ‘C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\EXE\newplayer.fl’
What have i done wrong this time ( keep making small mistakes and I can never see them: cue the startport community :P)
EDIT: here is the code, if your interested (there is more than one instance where the player section needs to be edited….so if i find out whats wrong…i can edit them all.)
<data file="EXE\newplayer.fl" method="sectionmodify" options="9:2">[Player] <source> rank = 100 system = MARKET01 base = MARKET01_01_Base ship_archetype = 2151746432 equip = 2265531853, HpHeadlight, 1 equip = 2802020621, HpRunningLight01, 1 equip = 2802020621, HpRunningLight02, 1 equip = 2802020621, HpRunningLight05, 1 equip = 2500775748, HpContrail01, 1 equip = 2500775748, HpContrail02, 1 equip = 2494027655, HpDockLight01, 1 equip = 2494027655, HpDockLight02, 1</data> -
I think you have the wrong end of the stick.
Why are you making all the changes with scripts?
The script is meant only for small changes.
For all other changes, make the changes in a copy of the original file.
Save all your changed files in the right folder in a directory tree like this:
My Mod
My Mod\EXE
My Mod\DATA
My Mod\DATA\EQUIPMENT
My Mod\DATA\MISSIONS
My Mod\DATA\SHIPS
My Mod\DATA\SOLAR
My Mod\DATA\UNIVERSEIf you have a script put it in the header folder My Mod\
(I use one only for FLMM data and for renaming the docking ring sur file so that big ships don’t crash into it).
When you have made all the changes just zip from My Mod
as yourmod.zip.flmodTest the zip to make sure it works, then rename it yourmod.zip.flmod
And it’s ready for activation using FLMM.

I’m using the script for a selection. That selection being, “what system would you like to start in?” hence why i’m using a script…that I know of you cant have 3 copies of the same file and switch between them.
EDIT: Even if you can, the syntax would be near enough the same…
-
newplayer.fl is encrypted.
Use the script for case selection. Make a new one for each case and just replace the entire file.
Are you sure you can’t have several copies? Use diffferent names e.g. newplayer_opt1.fl, newplayer_opt2.fl, etc and copy the correct one of those as newplayer.fl dependent on selection?
-
it is. but the same if you want to look up the sur in the HardCMP, you have to open the save editor and then via the tab menu open up the savegame file. the result is a decrypted and editable savegame (the editor does not work with already decrypted saves). it is built similar to an ini but it would not tell you what parameter controls which value.

Hiya MkNote: Look in his post - he used the Save Editor - hint:- his one must therefore be encrypted. Because the Save Editor doesn’t open plain files, it hangs.
Your unencrypted one is not normal in FL.
Anyway, I addressed his query.
To my knowledge, FLMM scripts cannot read or modify encrypted .fl files (saved game files).
Except mpnewcharacter.fl which is a plain-text file in plain FL.
