Corrupted Files

[sukothai]

Just to give you an update, all mods work on FLMM 1.31 except for Scifi Universe mod.

[robocop]

It says the files are corrupted or does it say the mod failed to load?

If FLMM says the mod failed to load it should give you an indication on where the problem(s) lies.

If it says the files are corrupted can you open the file using 7zip?

Perhaps you can unzip them with 7zip and rezip them with winzip or rezip them as a zip file instead of a 7z file.

7zip refuses to let me extract the mod directly into FLMM mod folder. I would love to add a photo/screenshot into forum, but I do not know how to do that.

[sukothai]

I do remember on the old LancerReactor site, someone told me if I had the original FLMM, the sci-fiuniverse1.1 would run on that. But I do not seem to be able to find it in the mod downloads.

[Thaddeus]

Syntax changes made various versions incompatible with some flmm mods. Most would take to much effort to re-write.

Found flmm 1.21 if you want to give it a try

FLMM 1.21

[sukothai]

My computer would not let me download it, got a message saying it could be harmful for my computer.

[robocop]

Try this, make a second copy of the file and change the extension from .7z to .flmm.

Then see if that imports.

[sukothai]

Still didn’t work. Game still will not load while Scifi Universe mod is active.

[robocop]

Look in your Users<username>\AppData\Local\Freelancer folder for a file called flspew.txt, see if it gives any clues.</username>

[sukothai]

I don’t see the AppData folder anywhere.

[robocop]

Open up file explorer and select your c drive
Then go to the view tab and click on options.
Select the View tab and select Show hidden files, folders, and drives and a couple options down uncheck hide protected operating system files (recommended).

that should give you full view of the contents of your drive.

[sukothai]

This is what is repeated through out the flspew
C:\work\builds\dalibs\dalibs-build\build\Src\WavLib\wavlib.cpp(32) : ERROR:General:StreamingSound: missing MP3 codec?

[robocop]

I think that’s a normal error.

Where do you see the message that the files are corrupted? Is it something that FL generates or something that FLMM generates?

Lemme try something.

That should’ve been change it to .flmod, not .flmm.

I tried that as well, just to see if it would work, and same thing happened, game would still not run.

[robocop]

Try downloading it from my server. I repackaged it and it installed into FLMM 2.0e just fine although I’m getting errors in the syntax in the files possibly because FLMM 2.0e handles the scripts a little differently I think.

Game still will not launch with FLMM 1.31, and does not show up in 2.0.

[robocop]

It doesn’t launch in 1.3? Are you still getting a corrupted file message or is it just not activating?

It doesn’t show up in 2.0?

I assume you’ve unzipped the .flmod file to your desktop and then double-clicked on the file to install it into FLMM.

If FLMM starts at least you’re not getting the corrupted file error again.

At the bottom of your FLMM dashboard is the log of the mods loading. Scroll down until you see any errors. Then look at the errors to see if they’re related to the SciFi_Universe mod. If so that log should start giving you clues as to where the mod is failing. I fixed the BS_Encounters files but when I saw other files had errors also I gave up, just no time.

[sukothai]

The only error message I get from 1.31 is “Error: problem deactivating ‘Sci-Fi Universe 1.1’
Warning: SHMoveFile failed (‘C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\DATA\SOLAR\DOCKABLE\docking_ringx2_lod.sur.flmmbak’ to ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\DATA\SOLAR\DOCKABLE\docking_ringx2_lod.sur’)”

For 2.0 I get a box upon opening FLMM reads “There was a problem while loading one or more mods. Please read the log for more information.”:

Log reads, "Unable to load mod!
Error: Freelancer - BS Encounters Advanced Equipment.xml:7: first line of section (‘nickname = br_battleship’) doesn’t start with ‘[’.

I did unzip it on desktop and tried to load it into game from desktop with both versions, not getting any corrupted file message.

[sukothai]

I also just tried double clicking on Sci-Fi mod to activate it, and got this error message in log box.

Error: FLMM has determined that ‘Sci-Fi Universe 1.1’ won’t properly activate.
Error: Unable to find section ‘[Object]’(…) in ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\Data\Universe\Systems\intro\intro.ini’
