Planet and bases names.

Thieves

Hello everyone! I’m new here and started modding a bit, added a planetary system called Alpha Centauri A (You know from the movie avatar) And a couple of planets in it (where under pandora) And a base, but here’s my problem:
I can’t see any names, it just shows blank!
Probably all the scripters in here know a solution to this and i’m just a beginner so help me out here please.

They are defined in the mods dlls files. Mainly the nameresources.dll and InfoCards.dll. And also the resources.dll. FLdev is my personal favorite to help edit these files. I’m sure some the others here can explain more and point you in the right direction.

If I were you I would start a new custom dll instead of editing a existing one. Get the empty dll there:

Read the included readme for information how to use it.

This tutorial also contains creating new infocards/names, just ignore the ship creating part and directly start at page 31:

The first step would be to know: how did you create your system? I’m guessing FLE.

If that is the case, you probably have entered all the names in the software. You should have a look at your mods folder (default is C:\Program Files\Freelancer Mod Manager\mods) and check in your mod’s folder for a DLL file. If you do find one, the names might be in there, just not properly referenced.

If you don’t find one, you’ll have to proceed manually. Are you familiar with INI editing?

I’m a bit familiar with it, also i used Explorer and what do i need to open the dll’s??
And could somebody maybe give me a link to an example of this, Like the solar system or something it has to ONLY contain new systems,planets,tradelanes or bases.
