Freelancer Mod Studio - 1.2

[Xarian_Prime]

I think it looks great

But tell me… can i trust it? I code by hand now thanks to FLE & me not working out well… i still use FLE but will never let it touch my mod with its confused sticky fingers… as was stated previously… changes are made, then its a long process of lifting the relevant data from my “dummy mod” into the real mod…

How far removed from that scenario is this proggy?? keep in mind i code just about everything from scratch/templates… and prefer the hands on approach… even to market files… Thus has FLE turned me into an anally retentive monster… will this somehow help in my recovery of trust in modding programs for FL? … besides the ones that actually do as there told… HCMP, FLDev… ect

Looks nice though.

Well you should be able to trust it completely. It might try to be clever and reorders options based on known Freelancer .ini option order and you can even change them globally when editing the template.xml in the application’s directory.

In the new version you can manually reorder blocks because those need to be in a specific order in some files.

About the option values. Well FLMS does not try to force any values for them. You can enter anything you like (right now) but Freelancer may not like it. Actually it was planned to support you with that as well but I did not have the time to implement it yet.

OK … what I want to say is that everything you see after you saved the file is entirely your doing except option reordering. Therefore you can definately trust it as it wont magically change things or crash because of strange values or something like that.

0.9.5 released

Download the latest version here
View the changelog

You can also use the autoupdater of your Freelancer Mod Studio if you have it installed to automatically upgrade.

I rearranged a lot of options inside Template.xml which define the save order or options within a block - for example if nickname = … will be saved before ids_info = … or the other way round

But there are still lots of options left to rearrange in template.xml. If anyone wants to help please feel free to compare them with FL vanilla .ini option arrangement and send me your differences. Thanks

I just tried the latest version but I couldn’t get it to load system ini’s or universe ini’s (or display them), it will read files like initial world so I’m guessing it might be related to the 3D display function.

[stfx]

duh made a stupid typo - will upload a hotfix now

EDIT: 0.9.5.1 is online

[CK256]

Me again! the system ini files now load and display the ini code but when I try to activate the 3D viewer I get the following error message

“FreelancerModStudio, Systempresenter. SharedGeometries” threw an exception

CK256

[Mirkha]

also the same error for each system

it works for my vanillia folder

[stfx]

What the heck I guess I didnt test it enough this time.

Mirkha: Mind sending me your universe.ini? Because if I understood you right your vanilla ones works - thats correct?

EDIT:
CK256: Mind sending me your system+universe+solararch file as well because I cant reproduce it with my vanilla files?

[Mirkha]

ok, sent by email

the vanilia folder works fine and the freeworlds not

[CK256]

I’ve attached the requested files, but all of them work with the .2 release from March.
These files are in a hand coded format not FLMS layout (nothing wrong with the FLMS layout I’m just used to the originals :))

[Freestalker.fr]

This Mod studio is sooo…. USEFULL!!! Notepad is finished! :x
Thank you so much!!! 8-)

[NeXoSE]

WOW, First time download and frist time use. COOL i can only say.

[CK256]

Great job M8! and the ini order is unchanged as well

Many thanks for your time and effort

CK256

[stfx]

Hey,
thanks for your praises =]

Now CK256: Did you solve the issue?

Mirkha+CK256:
I tested all of you files and they work perfectly fine for me. If you still have that issue you could uninstall and install the application but I doubt that this would help. If you cant get it to work we might have to meet in irc so that you can tell me in detail how to reproduce it (otherwise its hard to fix)

PS: New update coming out today because after drag&drop a block the 3D viewer has still saved the wrong IDs and therefore if you select one block on the list, the wrong one will be selected in the viewer.

[CK256]

The loading issues have gone although the download release appears to be the same, anyway it now works for me

(Edit)
I’ve just had a problem during a copy/paste action (the copy/paste worked after restarting) I did notice two panning targets just prior to this, I’ve copied the details (looks like English but I don’t understand a word LOL)

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

Wow very impressive!

I will definitely be using this, especially for the overview

[stfx]

Mirkha: I downloaded the full mod and I found the reason why it was crashing.

Those two blocks where defined multiple times in your solararch.ini
space_habitat_dmg
droidcs_destructable

In next version FMS will automatically take the last block if there are many with the same name (FL behaviour). That will fix it

CK256: Will try to reproduce it. It always happens when you press paste after you copied a few blocks and restarted FMS?

[Xarian_Prime]

I must say… thank you stfx for your work & effort here, even though i may never use your tool ( i may… it depends… im quite confident doing it all by hand now) its great to know someone’s still trying to make that ever elusive “all in one” tool that would have made my 1st mod just that much easier…

Kudos to you stfx :pint: :pint:

[CK256]

I had been copy/pasting several area_defend zones around the system and this might have been the forth or fifth copy/paste operation.

Your software makes system building fast and efficient and if you’re mad enough to build a 3D system it makes placing and orientating trade lane zones a lot easier.
