Hooray
I believe many people have been enlightened by your post, even those that don’t really give much feedback, like me. Thanks for the update!

Do you maybe have some examples or more detailed info so that I can look into it?

Hey STFX,

With this last update, I’m unable to edit the FW:ToW systems anymore with the 3D editor. I keep on getting these errors:

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

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

 <configuration></configuration> 

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Also, question, when you get a chance to add this function, could you make your Mod Studio be able to add vignette zones like FLE? Just a simple click to add the zone and a click to where you want to put it? I’d really appreciate this functionality.

Thanks for all your work thus far!!

Looks like your HelixEngine.dll is outdated. How did you update the tool? via auto update or manual download? uninstalled the old version first (should not be needed but I still want to know)?

Sushi

I used the autoupdater. Reinstalling it did the trick, thanks!

Just fixed this issue. Some files where not replaced when installing over an already installed version (like auto update) because the version numbers of the dlls were the same

? Offline

And how to edit? Is’nt it just 3d preview with properties editor? After FL Explorer i fear to change anything by automated tools of this type

stfx

Oh boy why does everyone mention FLE in connection with not trusting tools anymore

Didn’t you already use it? It is perfectly safe. It doesnt change the ini section order (only the option order within each section to make it unified). It doesnt remove anything on its own (except comments). It only changes one file and not the whole mod.

And yes, currently it does not support transform using the mouse in the 3d view

0.9.8 released

Download the latest version here or use the auto updater of your Freelancer Mod Studio (works now).

Added ability to focus the selected object by pressing CTRL+F

Added setting to save ini files without spaces around equal sign

Added setting to save ini files without empty lines between sections

Added setting to sort options based on categories and/or alphabetical (categories need to be written in the template.xml first)

Added setting to show option description/help (descriptions need to be written in the template.xml first)

Improved object models by making them light illuminated again - its now also easier to identify the rotation

Improved 3d editor selection by not moving the camera to the target

Fixed all rotation issues

Fixed ring zone models

Fixed inverted gradient system connections in universe display

Fixed double click on a system in universe not showing the context menu

Fixed loading of language from settings

Have fun

Congratz and thanks for continuing this project .

Thaddeus

Cant seem to get it to work, no start, irritating window says:~

The Settings file “FreelancerModStudio.xml” could not be loaded

The type initialize for “<module>” threw an exception

The C++ module failed to load during appdomain initialization

The system cannot find the file specified</module>

Clean install on an XP_SP3 system

Ezekiel

thanks again for the tool

stfx

@Thaddeus: This one is unfortunately not reproducible for me. An internet research resulted in the fact that your system is probably somehow not working flawlessly. Try reinstalling .NET Framework 3.5 and/or DirectX, hopefully that fixes it

Sushi

Oh baby! This is epic!

StarTrader

Great work, stfx - many thanks!

stfx

Alright I am gonna release, most likely, the last/final version of this tool in the near future. Please report all bugs which you want to get resolved now otherwise it might be too late

Here is the changelog of the things I already fixed:

Thanks

EDIT: Uploaded 0.9.9 beta

cata123

Just a feature - can be released also as a portable program ?
I install copy and uninstall and works ok .

Sushi

STFX, is there any way to click ADD in FMS, click on the system editor 3D and add zones? Or is that too much work to add as a feature?

Also could you possible add vignette zones as a zone with a pretemplate?

Thanks man! Love this tool!
