Erm… i have no such amazing space imagination to hold and visualise all object positions in my mind. I have no idea how to make nice system without an editor (Freelancer Explorer)

Try FL mod studio it has a universe map editor that allows you to position systems on the active mod.
I’ve uploaded an image showing the uni editor, to add additional systems just copy an existing one rename and edit the location coordinates.
The system editor can be used in a similar manner and remember with it you can build 3D systems.CK256

CK256, wow, thanks man. May i ask you to try to place system with
pos = 8.5, 9.5
before i install program? -
Here you go I’ve moved New York to the new coordinates although I haven’t tried the New York system I do have other systems with non whole number locations and they appear fine.

How to plen a mod? Button’s grey…
Also when i open the universe.ini, doubleclicking on system makes program crash
-
I’m not sure what you mean is it how to plan a mod? if that’s the case pen and paper is a good place to start, I also use Google Docs for storing modding tutorials, concepts, images etc.
Storing you mod data safely is really important so make multple copies on different storage formats DVD/HDD and online using DropBox or something similar.
I couldn’t replicate your crash double clicking a system on the uni map just centralises the system in the 3D viewing window and right clicking allows me to open the system ini.
Have you got the latest version of FL Mod Studio? mine is 0 9 6 0, are the system files read only?

May yu give the download link to 960?

Sure no problem, I think that crash was one of the bugs on the earlier releases.

The approach I use with FL Mod Studio is to do a number of edit’s, additions say adding a few bases and trade lanes to a system.
Then I’ll add these changes to the original/earlier unactivated mod data then activate the new mod data and repeat.
I think the major advantage here is that the changes are fairly small so mistakes can be found more easily and the fact the mod is active means you can quickly see the effect of the new data.CK256

Lol, this one worse… here i cant just open universe.ini

You could try an earlier version as the 0 9 series did have a number of issues but I believe they were all resolved.
see following link for earlier release

The original thread may help with the issue you’re having
What OS are you using Windows XP, 7 Vista? my setup runs on XP SP3 with no issues

I think you are wrong NOVA, it works well for me. I think you do that : pos= 1. 1 but it is 1, 1 the coma is necessary because 1.1 in english is 1,1 and 1, 1 (here) is 1/1 (like 1250/1024).
