Where is the Freelancer Mod Manager 2

look into your script.xml

<scriptversion>2.0</scriptversion>

This is NOT the version of your mod, but the version of FLMM.
So if you want it to run with FLMM 1.3 or newer, make it so its:

<scriptversion>1.3</scriptversion>

for version 1.4 and above:

<scriptversion>1.4</scriptversion>

damned u worfeh, i was gonna say!

If you have text resources in the xml, the mod manager will convert them to ids entries for you and place them in a .dll. It sounds like there is already the limit of new .dlls in freelancer.ini and thus it doesn’t have anywhere to place them. Mind pasting the libraries section of your freelancer.ini to confirm this?

FLMM automatically adds any DLL found in the mod’s root folder (the parent folder to EXE or DATA).

Cutting my text resources in the xml will make room for them?
Any connection with that?

-.- again me and my questions - sry

freelancer.ini

How can I use more than 8 custom .dlls ???

They should be in dacom.ini under [Libraries], not freelancer.ini.

It should look like this:

scroller.dll
RandomJumps.dll
MultiCruise.dll
jflp.dll
healing.dll
d3d8_.dll
Cloak.dll
d3d9.dll
chklootvol.dll
moors.dll
ShieldOffline.dll

Don’t trust FLMM in all it does, it does some stupid things.

They r in dacom.ini aswell but how to force FLMM to automaticly only apply his own generated names/infocards (flmm1.dll?) and this bypass for making no errors in activation?

… lets try this way.
How I group more .dlls to one?

Hmm? You got to ask Adoxa for that.

Also, you can’t stop FLMM in doing that without putting them in another folder, which will make them stop loading.

So where are the dll’s on the FL folder, in the root of the game? Is this why they’re in the root of the mod folder - that’s where they have to be for FLHook (or whatever it is) and FLMM copies them across?

If so, can’t you put them into a sub folder and then use the script.xml copyfile method to move them to the root folder in FL?

(if this is stupid, it has been about 5 years since I used any xml scripting of FLMM, so I can’t remember #$%% )

Ok I got a fix strange way. Please dont laugh!

I renamed some custom **.dll**s to **.dat**s and that way avoid them to be generated in **.ini**

Puting original .dlls in any subfolder aswell made entry in freelancer.ini.
Do I screw this way something?

Not sure if it’s of any help (must admit I’ve only glanced over a few posts :oops: ) but to prevent troubles with extra DLLs, I’ve been using the following solution, to my satisfaction:

Stuff the new DLLs in a folder named NewDLLs, all with the extension .newdll rather than .dll

Then, use the following script - and it should be one of the last to be run, so name it ZZZZ___DLLs.xml or something similar:

First off, why would anyone laugh?

Second, I don’t think FL will like .dat files. You should do as Chips say and use the XML to make it copy files.

well, just make the freelancer.ini part of your mod. then only what you wrote there will be there. in my freelancer.ini there aren’t those plugin dll’s listed and they nonetheless work quite well.
oh, and “copyfile” is a comparably instable method, at least in FLMM v1.31
