Matching NPC toughness to Player
-
I was asked in a PM (hi Timmy!) if it would be possible to increase the difficulty of random encounters in zones, since after you level up, a system like New York presents no challenge. Here’s a preliminary version - look at MatchPlayer.cpp for notes and how to install.
-
Thanks for taking the time to look at this Adoxa. It doesn’t work for me though, if I try and add it to my mod it just CTD’s on game launch. The game does launch if I add it to vanilla patched to 1.1 with opensp, but doesn’t change anything, outcasts are still flying daggers and bounty hunters are still flying piranhas in new york at level 38. Did you test it and did it work okay for you?
-
Just created a version for 1.0 (knew I should have done it) and swapped it for 1.1 (so I’m using 1.0 content.dll, with 1.1 everything else). Loaded my standard test save game (from AllNomad, since, at the time, that was the only non-mission save in space and I’ve just stuck with it) where I saw DSE flying Hawks; jump to Buffalo, Outcasts are flying Sabres; jump to Fort Bush, Bounty Hunters are flying Hammerheads.
-
Many thanks Adoxa, it does exactly what it says on the tin! Makes a refreshing change seeing sabres and hammerheads in New York when you’re maxed out. Works perfectly well with vanilla FL, now I have to work out why the hell it won’t work with my mods…
-
The problem I seem to be having is related to FLMM I think. If I apply the changes directly to the vanilla freelancer folder, no problems, works fine. If I try to activate it as a mod via FLMM v1.3 then the game will CTD on splash. Is that to be expected?
-
Yes, since FLMM v1 will add all *.dll files to the [Resources] section of Freelancer.ini. I think the common trick is to store it as *.dat, then use renamefile (but just pointing to the .dat file should work too; they don’t have to be .dll). V2 fixes it (only adding what’s in the main folder), if I can ever stop myself getting distracted long enough to finish it…

You need to clone yourself
Great job and many thanks Adoxa. -
YES. This has more uses than you can imagine. Thanks Adoxa!
-
weird stuff. what is it based on? does it read out the faction’s stronger loadouts? that would make sense since so the user can code more factions all behaving like named corsairs and bounty hunters.
-
Brrr
DLL = MatchPlayer.DLL, , NORMAL
or simply
DLL = MatchPlayer.DLL
?
-
Trying to run server-side:
crash at content.dll; 1.0.1254.11; 000592f6
-
rename the file to MatchPlayer.dat and then
use DLL = MatchPlayer.datProblems solved!
-
@Gisteron: The encounter toughness is changed when the system is read.
@Helloween: That’s a weird place for an error, since it just writes to it a couple of instructions back. Since it doesn’t really work in MP anyway, I’m not bothered.
-
heres a question where to you put the files ?

I should do something similar for the job board - that would also work in MP, then. I just don’t know how I should set it up. Any thoughts?
-

use DLL = MatchPlayer.dat instead, see if that works for you, it did for me. -
heres another stupid question does it work on mods for single player ?
-
Sure does!
