Hypergate effect

Just to let you know guys as well that if you put the effect in loadout.ini , the effect name is fx_nomadwormhole

for example;

[Loadout]
nickname = ice_solar_06
equip = fx_nomadwormhole, HpRunningLight01

Cheers

do we see #15 and #16 in vanilla and where? just to have an idea of what these effects are without wasting time trying and checking

sdk 1.3b not vanilla?
select_equip.ini

True Gisteron!! If you don’t want to make own effect
But now i know how to make more than 8 nozzles enabled on big ships.
How do you think - time was wasted for nothing?

14 is the ‘fake jumphole’ in the badlands, near the sp research station (was it´named Benford?)

15 is the one near the second research station you enter in sp (bretonia?)

16 - no idea where…

lol, SDK is pure vanilla… although lil bit buggy the 1.3b version. i’d recommend 1.5
and yes, i’d know where to find the files, i just wanted to be informed where we’ve seen them ingame to have a more precise idea of what they are than a short description.

It does not downloading here 1.5
In game - dunno. I have played single-player Freelancer long time ago

the freelancer SDK is an archive with all encrypted ini files of (vanilla) FL decrypted.

can’t remember, where i found v1.5 but 1.3b should be in our downloads section at least.
correcture: v1.5b is there, too, on the second page

there’s this nice little search box, right to your left.

but since im SUCH a nice damned bloke, here ya go.

HERE.

No it’s not just the ini files decrypted.

It is just the vanilla FL game, not a mod, but there are many errors fixed too.

FL was an unfinished work, with open threads everywhere. Some of the early modders got down and fixed as many as they could find.

It is a good starting point when you want to make a mod based on the vanilla game, but there are still errors that were not detected even in version 1.5.

But I seem to remember that Lancer Solurus and Adoxa also continued and fixed many more and put the fixes into their own version of the SDK - adoxa will tell you more.

So one of these may be a better starting point if they are both still vanilla, I don’t know this.

Available from EOA.

My “SDK” is Jason’s Freelancer Patch (aka JFLP - “jay-flip”). It’s based on Buck Danny’s Unofficial FL SP 1.4 patch (itself based on SDK 1.3b), plus most bits from 1.5b15, plus quite a few things I found myself and a few things from other people (a detailed description of changes is provided). An update to JFLP is forthcoming, once I finish off a few other things.

as far as i found, there are only ini’s in both 1.3b and 1.5b SDK archives, so i’d not consider it a mod. moreover, if i let FLScan run above freelancer with SDK files, it detects in the inis most of the dozens of mistakes that it detects without, so… sometimes bini makes mistakes decrypting, this is what the modders have corrected partially, but not too much built in coding mistakes.

I just ran FLScan v1.3 - 0 Errors Found. If you have errors, they aren’t from JFLP. And I didn’t use bini, I used TINI, which uses Freelancer’s own code to read the ini files.

Where can I find TINI?

Absolute Rubbish, Gisteron!

This is your opinion only and is untrue.

First - I already said the SDKS are not mods, each is a set of fixed vanilla FL files.

Second - There are hundreds of fixes in the SDKs, which are still not detected by either of the checkers we have now.

Use a comparator program like Winmerge to find the differences between the original files and the SDK files of each release, 1.3 and 1.5 - these differences are the fixes.

It’s not courteous to devalue the considerable work the guys put into the two SDK’s, especially when they were found mainly by eye and test and retest, without nice tools like LS’s FL Error Checker.

So please don’t make any more throw-away and untrue remarks, I resent it, knowing the work that went into the SDKs, especially since they are not here to answer you.

Or say the same to adoxa about his work, since he’s still here, and see his response!
