karl2002

Hello guys

Im here to ask for help from anyone possible

With a addon to Tng thats pretty much is going to add new ships to tng to revive it.

now me and my friends have been working on thought we had fixed it from not crashing at start up. but it sitll does that. And were not even sure why we spent hours and hours trying to fix it without luck

so im hoping if someone could have a look at the file and see if theres anything that you notice wrong and im hoping fix it for us?

I would be truelly greatfull too

Eh…wasn’t there a tool called Error Checker from Lancer Solorus? Might be worth a try.

karl2002

Yup we used that then fixed the errors without luck still crashed on us.

I can’t even get it to decompress, downloaded it twice…

FriendlyFire

Tried with 7-Zip? I didn’t download the file, but I know 7=Zip makes weird .zip files sometimes.

LancerSolurus

Tried both… says invalid archive

karl2002

Could you plz provide a ship arch that isn’t BINI’d?

karl2002

Bined?

Compressed ini files. You need to make them uncompressed so you can read the data in them

TNG has a hacked EXE allowing
prices over 9,999,999 like

….
[Good]
nickname = oracle_hull
category = shiphull
ship = oracle
price = 350000000
…

And is your modinfo.dll
added to the [Resources] in freelancer.ini?

Yup modinfo.dll is added to resources too.

And we still get a crash at Start of freelancer but it crashes at where your just about to get to the FL menu.

No idea why though

If thier Reynen’s original files then they’ve been recompressed in such a way as to stop ppl from using BINI to decrypt them, TNG is that old it was before all of the current anticheats, so this was Reynens way of stopping cheaters :P.

FlSpit is a script that removes the errors from FlSpew and sticks them in a new file, thus allowing you to see the errors without all of the rest of log entries getting in the way.

karl2002

Ah

is there though any way we can get this to work? or is it inpossible to do?

As were not cheaters:p were just a server that wants to remain on tng but just want to give it a fresh breath with a addon

Thanks:)

karl2002

and they are his original files

Think I just found the problem, the shiparch.ini is encrypted, but you’ve added the new content to it in an unencrypted format, basically you’ve f***ed the shiparch as you can’t have both formats in a file.

To work on TNG you need Reynen’s own unencrypted .INI files, or figure out how to break the encryption on them yourself.

It seems that adoxa’s site is down, but when it comes back, I’d suggest trying to use TINI to decrypt the BINIs (get it from this page). Since it uses FL’s code to do it it should work even though the normal decryptors don’t.
