3D System Editor (part of Freelancer Mod Studio)

Nice work!!! :pint:

Just a quick heads up… the top of the sidebar says “Typ” instead of “Type”…. lol

No, do not drop it. Support those people who want to learn a second foreign language.

EDIT: Though i think of droppign that feature since every body understands english

Yeah, English rules.

Mind of making a 3d navmap?

And BTW, 3d system may call some navigational problems…
Or may not?
Any Ideas?

I’ve read somewhere that npc’s will still be spawned at a 0 level, never tested though.

**Mission NPCs yes, normal NPCs, anywhere.

Good work on the editor BTW**

Well Vital has a good reason, but for the Brits…

Duhhh…

And I want Grik support or else I’ll throw Paklavas and Retsina at you and all over the Plaka Square!

Graaaaaaaagggghhhhh!!!

Stfx - do as you wish my friend, it’s a super tool project.
English would be very kind to those who lack education - the Brits!!

But German language is a MUST!

(ST flings a Paklava and a used Balalaika at Vital)

I am not "Brit’, I am kinda russian(belarussian-russian with some ukranian mix, made in the USSR).
Would not regret being Brit though.

Yeh, I saw you’re from Minsk, I wasn’t getting at you, as I said you have good reason, as English is not your only language…

I was having a peck at the Brits and Yanks that don’t know any other language (except Rubbish!).

If you see what I threw at you, the Paklava is a baked Greek sweet made with thin sheets of pastry, honey and nuts, and the Balalaika is a damaged Russian variation of the Greek Bouzouki - huh?? Since when did they make Bouzoukis in Romania and Ireland? Where is the mother-of-pearl decoration??!! (It seems that the Greeks did go to Russia 3,000 years ago after all - that’s why some Russians are called Dimitri and the others are all called Alexi ! We got there first!). But i don’t know where the women came from, they don’t have Greek names except Anna! (and maybe Katia?)

• So you get a sweet and something to play music on too - that’s friendly, no?

Heheheh. Here’s what a good one sounds like… Bouzouki music solo

You should see what I throw at people I don’t like!

By the way, we also got to Germany first, there are many guys named Andreas there!

wow, amazing tool, cant wait for it to be final

Uh…

Where’s he gone off to?

Awesome tool m8 and i´m really looking forward to have the full editor, but may i make a suggestion.

We worked hard in our mods to hide things, even hack code to prevent that tools like flcompanion or flstat work. So i would like to suggest to make this topic non-private in the admin-section here.
Cause with the tool finding the way to a maze is way to easy. Even things normaly invisible by players are shown. So don´t get me wrong, i like your tool, just a bit more “restricted” would be cool.

cheers
CURSOR

Well - I disagree, of course.

Just because of the spirit of keeping the community alive and giving free access to all.

There are so many other tools out there already anyway that expose systems.

And the community is old, geriatric even, so only a couple of years to go anyway.

Dunno if giving the community free access to everything is keeping it alive. Giving out a good information on how to mod yes, but give away things with that ppl can easy “cheat” ? Sorry if this sounds harsh to ya, but finding out a way through a mine filed maze ingame is completely different than just looking on it in 3D view. It´s a bit like playing a game with “trainer” or “walkthrough”. Giving out such informations instantly spoils the game a lot and afaik, if you know everything about a game it makes it even quicker dying und more uninteresting for players. So in my case of view it´s the same as if you give out all informations about the “anti-cheat-tools” or server side things.

my 2 cents would be to restict it to admins

talking about the other tools that expose systems, they can be made useless.

cheers
CURSOR

That viewer tool… It’s not cheating - doesn’t modify a single file.
Besides, mods like Discovery don’t have trouble with such tools. Why should anyone else have trouble? If anything, that would be where use of said tools would be worse.

And yeah, keep this as free access to the community. Everyone has a choice about how they use it.

There is already enough information in the public domain for sufficient cheating to be done, its not hard to look for a way to cheat.
Not everything is completely public domain, why do you think we have the Server Admins Anomaly? It’s for Admins to get together and talk about these issues and such.

And for players just finding stuff out, locations etc. Anyone can decompress an .ini and read its contents to find out the location of stuff. the tools just make that process easier and more visual. Can’t stop people from taking shortcuts.

No, cursor. If we did that, we’d have to lock down FLE, Companion, the system placer… I’m alright with hiding things that are very sensitive (IE some hypothetical program that would allow to edit memory in real time quickly and easily with no knowledge required), but this must be published and shared as it’s an important advance that will help people make better mods.

There’s no way in hell this goes private and I’ll stand firmly about this.

If you want to hide things in your mod, find ways to hide it better. Trust me, there are multiple ways to hide stuff so that even moderate cheaters can’t find stuff.
