Did you check our [[Getting online]] section?

Nonono, I didn’t mean it that way.
What I meant was that I couldn’t join a server that I hosted on my own computer, so I hosted it on my laptop instead.
I can join servers, I usually play on the official Discovery server.

Oh, right. Why weren’t you able? I assume you’re in a network since you have two computers.

Could ipv6 be the reason you couldn’t host your own server? Does the server ip address look like a load of garbled nonsense rather than a normal ip. Sure someone will direct you to a fix for that if so.

Guys, your going off of the topic he is having the issue with.

Friend of his btw.

He wants to know how he can fix the mounting of his weapons, He can’t mount any of them.

Try with a diff version of FLHook, i had similar problems with plugins.

Flak88 one is similar but with stuff built in.
Doesnt give same flexibility a plugin system would but if it works

Afromana

Will do, I’ll post again soon if it works or not

Afromana

Well. that sadly didn’t work.
And I don’t think its my freelancer files, cause I just reinstalled my entire Freelancer directory and then reinstalling it with flak 88.
Weapons are still unmountable and un-purchaseable.

If your laptop is 64 bit I would suggest you get the 1.6.1 version of the plugin FL Hook.

Disable the FL Hook and see if you can buy equipment then, that will let you know one way or another if thats what it is.

I had the same problem, very few of the plug-in work on my 64 bit system, FL Hook didnt work period until I switched to 1.6.1…

Afromana

Ehm, I appear to have fixed it somehow…

After reinstalling, I kept using the same character.
I had the idea to delete that and make a new one.
And weapon purchase seems to be possible in this character…
Guess the problem was fixed when I reinstalled after-all.
Thanks for all the help!

EDIT:
Actually… It appears its all about the ships.
When we use small and normal ships, the bug does not appear.
But when we use Discovery specific ships (Like Battlecruisers and such), The game will not allow us to buy stuff.
I think I need your help once again.

It sounds like you are mixing 2 mods to me?

Afromana

The current mods I’m using is Flak 88 FLHook and Discovery 4.85.
My theory is that FLHook does something to the hard-point files that matches the original game.
But it doesn’t register the new ships hard-points and doesn’t really understand whats going on.

You said “Weapons are still unmountable and un-purchaseable”

“un-purchaseable” ingame ? if so is a mod problem id assume not a hook problem as hook shouldnt be stopping ingame purchases.

“Weapons are still unmountable” using hook commands/
i belive you need to know the hard point your wanting to mount it on.
Could it be that the custom ships are not using standard hardpoint mount names so youd need to know the custom name by reading the cmp or the shiparch file.

Afromana

They are “Unpurchaseable” due to me not having a correct hard-points.
Though, some Liberty ships appears to work.
Sorry if I didn’t explain that.
Also, I have tried that command but I never found the hardpoint names, I’ll see if I can find them in the file you said
