Cutting FL to total 0

? Offline

Simple answer to is it worth it is yes. Many mods have been total conversion, i made one a few years back. Nightstalkers Universe mod is a total conversion. I’m in the process of doing one now. Why? because you have a clean code base with no original FL error laden code present. Trust me when i say it’s a godsend error checking because i know what i’ve put in, where it’s gone and why. No tripping over other peoples screw ups.

Time consuming, yes, takes ages, yes. Do i care what the community thinks? No. Only because i firstly write mods for myself, as long as i’m happy with it then it gets released. If other people like it, it’s a bonus.

Help please!
FL crashing at startup after i deleted all systems except start system (ew04), “intro”, “miners”. Cleared universe.ini, pathfinding and market files too.

But FLserver shows me this:

you have to delete the reference to. anything that is asking for those entries. market files, pathfinding files, everything.

I understand! What is “everything”? I cleared markets, pathfinding, cured the SP by opensp. What else?

Gisteron

universe.ini, mission files, bribes, all that stuff that somehow has a base or system parameter.

Account files. You need to remove the references from them. Or just purge them.

Quarks

mbases.ini, news.ini, newplayer.fl, …

Use an editor like Notepad++, with it you can search in all files for the nicknames!

It can be done in common windows search.

Btw i already solved my trouble. I downloaded RIP’s pack and cutted all ships, factions and equipment from it, and all became ok.

Windows search is able to do this? Sorry I never noticed this
