Freelancer Developer

Hi, I’ve run into a small problem using the tool. Or rather, quite a big one. Whenever I’m done with editing an IDS entry and want to submit it, FLDev breaks.

When I click ‘apply changes’, the program stops responding, then crashes. I’m not sure if this is something I’m doing wrong, but the lack of documentation meant I couldn’t really check.

Does this problem sound familiar to anyone else? Is there a simple fix?

EDIT: I derped, and the fix was indeed simple. Entire Freelancer directory was read-only. That’ll teach me not to think things through properly.

turn the user control to never notify see if that works. what is your os ?

Win7. Not to worry though, I got it fixed. It was a read only problem with FL’s files.

FF - where can I download FL Dev now?

All the links in this old thread are not working, and I can’t find it using Search.

Yes, I gave in and got myself a 2-core desktop at last.

Thanks.

Thanks FF

FF - are you thinking of any further development of FL Dev? I’m not proposing anything, just curious if it is final as is?

OK. Still good.

Sorry for the gravedig on this. Recently got into using this tool, and it is excellent for a number of reasons. There is obviously one thing that’s irritating me though.

Every time i load this up, the program asks me for the location of freelancer.ini and resources.dll. Now i point it to my mod folder where i have them due to the fact they have been modified, but the program doesn’t seem to remember the locations, so i have to do this every time i load up the program. Is there any way to make FL Dev remember the paths, or is it something i just have to live with? Or am i doing something wrong?

Try editing config.ini. It works for me

Dear FF,

Do you know why some resourse dlls can only be edited a few days after the computer was turned on(which means I have to keep it awake for a LONG time)? And why some strings in resource.dll can’t be edited? These have been bothering me a lot.

Make sure that Freelancer.exe or flserver.exe isn’t running.
Sometimes when you close the program it appears as if it closed but you can still find it running in the resources list.
