Player And Ship Model Show Off Glitch
-
Durring my several hours of testing to see just how much of FL I can remove before it crashes, I came across something that I thought was just flat out cool, and had to make a video to show everyone as it could be a possible way for TC mods to show off new ships and uniforms. To do this, all you do is remove the PetalDB = PetalDB.ini line from your Freelancer.ini.
It’s funny too because I just realizedI had my mic. plugged in and you can hear the TV.

PetalDb.ini is an entry that contains references for all of the CMPs and 3Dbs used in THN files. In order to add custom ones, you need to add em to petalDB. I use a heavily edited copy to reference parts i’m going to use. same goes for rtc_shiparch.ini If a ship model isn’t refenced there, it won’t show in THNs.
(Edit: Finally found the ’ key on this damn european keyboard!! ;D" -
Oh wow, that’s really awesome, Alfa. I’m going to link my devs to this

But it’s practical to make ship show-off vids ::)
-
and now that you have done that check your flspew file
… from experience i asume that it is full of new errors now due to missing templates in your scripts^^Dude, I’m on vista, so that file doesn’t even exist. Why, IDK, probably , but if you follow the system path to where it’s supposed to be, it isn’t. I have to mod freelancer by, “Does it run? Good, on to the next step.”

The most likely reason it isn’t there in Vista is the new naming used in the paths. For example, there is one that has (x86) in it, this will cause problems with the built in windows path routines. I found alot of older programs have this problem so I don’t install FL at it’s normal location when using Vista. There is a place in the registry where you can change the path but unless you know what you are doing it isn’t a good idea to mess with it.

I know exactly what you’re talking about. I install all my games on my secondary HD, otherwise I wouldn’t be albe to touch their files (i.e. mod FL). The only reason that file doesn’t show is because it’s directed to the C:/ drive, which means that without extreme permissions, it won’t be created.
