Adding INFOCARD info
-
Can some one tell me how to create a .dll and add info to it, so i can see it in game, i keep coming across this problem and would like to know how to do it
Also do people know if FL can only read from a limited amount of DLL’s for info cards, the mod im working on already has 2 extra DLL’s and i would like to add a 3rd for my use, will this be ok still
Cheers all

You can add to existing DLLs as they’re set up for different types of text information but if you need a lot of new text in a mod several new DLLs is the way to go.
FL Dev is the best tool for adding names and info cards

I also have a nearly complete FL Dev tutorial I put together a while back, see the attached tutorial zip, the other zip contains the new DLL from DwnUndrs TCM starter pack the first one only has a few used numbers.

Adoxa’s FRC (Freelancer Resource Compiler) is best IMO (My Vote!).
Had to read readme not just few, thousand times until this empty head could figure out how to finish.
Once I did it, its so damn easy now to update with new entries or make fresh new.
The really pain was to convert all GENERATE…. scripts from mod to corresponding numbers in .DLLs.
Basically its just exporting old (used) dll to .frc (text format), duplicating entries, changing numbers / content and importing back to .dll.
After that, updated changes can be only imported over and over.
Peace of cake.Possible that
