like I said in my last post it seems to need the goods.ini file to have a reference for it to add necessary equipment
even if it used the starflier, the ship wouldn’t go anywhere without an engine and a power supply

FriendlyFire

Have you simply looked into the loadout? Everything’s defined there… Yes, even the engine, radar, tractor, whatever.

thedarkmarauder

once I adjusted it the way I mentioned it started working and it didn’t work before
it seems to need that other stuff for MP mode and not SP mode

you guys need this file its in the exe folder its mpnewcharater

Thanks rsabantino. I am sure if this is causing any trouble, but it wouldn’t hurt. My mod is actually loosely (understatement) based on 88 Flak as it is the most stable mod I have ever seen, and I remember being told by foxUnit01 that I had forgotten to add a mpnewcharacter.fl. However there is one conspicuous difference between what you just posted and what Fox uses in 88 Flak. 88 Flak does not have what appears to be a loadout section, and 88 Flak runs very stably online. I also know for a fact that I never had issues similar to what DM mentioned here. (http://www.memes.no/88flak/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1458). I still firmly believe that DM’s troubles are simply a FLMM deactivation error or some other similar issue. (Such as making sure to use completely separate Accts folder from 88 Flak. IC and 88 Flak bicker when they have they share Accts folders.)

I also just now used the version that I downloaded off of Starport, and was able to run and join my own server with no problem. All crashes are crashes that happen during gameplay, and thats where the real problem lies, not in the newcharacter.ini. (Although hopefully the mpnewcharacter.fl will help some.)

no the load out is from my mod it puts the player into the anubis. if you dont use that it will just give you the regular ge fighter
this is vanilla

I have run it on a fresh install with the freelancer save folder deleted when I had that trouble
somebody told me that goofed up newcharacter.ini files will often do that exact error
I even reinstalled flmm and it didn’t change the error any
the strange thing is I’ve had some mods that did that before on my desktop computer and not when run on my notebook
yes, they were both running XP

thedarkmarauder

I think some of those mysterious crashes are hook related
I had it skip loading hook and the server ran crash free for a couple days now
can’t use Ioncross with it right now because, it doesn’t have the right codes for the weapons, items, ships, and other equipment, in the Ioncross folder
trying to run it without the right data is making my Ioncross freeze on startup
need to find the hashcodes and fix that later
if I can find the spare time I will try to do that part for you

rsabatino

use cd lite much easier to use and more flexible. i cant tell you anything i have to see your exe folder and see whats in there to help you a little more. but in relality the new charater file has little to do with mp some people actually delete that file and put everything in mpnewcharater file like i showed you. if you have a multi player load out you can put that right into that file like i did with the anubis and it will work.

Chard_Wreck

Hey Dark,

I’m still getting the ‘Character name already in use’ whenever I try and log into your server. I’m assuming this is due to a difference between the version of the mod I am running and the version you are running.

I’ve had no problems running IC using IONCROSS. I used FLMM 1.4 and the latest release of IONCROSS and the server seems to run ‘ok’. Of course I am connecting to the server locally and I do get the random crashes and the server seems to hickup during fights (momentary hesitation of the game that I don’t get when playing SP).

I’m beginning to think my ISP is blocking certain ports since I can’t seem to get a connection from outside even when I DMZ through my router but that is something else entirely.

If anyone needs another set of eyes to help test I’m all kind of available. I haven’t been this excited about a mod in years.

One thing I have noticed is that sometimes the NPCs will get stuck in an auto-manuver for docking loop at some of the stations causing a backup of NPCs that are waiting to dock and also blocking you from docking. I think this may be related to ship speed. I’ve had it happen to myself as well and had to ESC and reposition myself manually then dock again.

Oh and Happy New Year everyone!

So I was browsing ModDB and I found so many obscure mods I had never heard of. Which got me wondering. Why isn’t my mod here?

So now it is. http://www.moddb.com/mods/itano-circus/

I have your mod in my download area as well for another mirror

Hello everyone, I have small problem with this awesome mod.

When Im activating this mod via FLMM (and deleting saves etc too) and when I try to launch game… nothing happens.

Screen goes dark, I hear only fragments of audio and game is not even loading.

My comp spec is:
P4D 3.6ghz
1.5gb ddr2 667
GF 7600 GT 256mb

Other mods are working, only this one causes that strange error.

If you know how to solve that problem, please help.

Bas

Vista user?

zvr

Nop, I have XP Pro SP2.

As I said, screen goes black, I hear only fragments of audio and game freezes… Other mods are working fine

Bas

Try delete the savegames…just an idea.

Worfeh

Looks like an directx issue.
Check if all the the DLL’s in the Freelancer folder are the same as the ones who come with the mod or copy them manualy.
