Freelancer Perfect Widescreen HUD (Screenshots Included)

Hi Kirzan
I’m new here and I only joined today to say thank you for this fix, you totally rescued my game for me!! since I bought a 22 inch monitor I have not been able to play because of the HUD position problem. I looked for mods and fixes for weeks to sort the resolution and HUD issue and none of them worked. I found yours today and it’s amazing, it works beautifully, you are a genius man!!! Thank so much for doing this!!

I just recently started using this mod and man its great! really!…how ever I’m running into a random issue where at random my FL game just crashes out with no warning what so ever, this is happening on a Discovery server and its not related to a cheat detection auto kick as my server warns you then kicks you lols, I’d like to keep using this as I like the idea of playing FL in 1080p, but sadly until I/we figure out what is causing this issue I wont be using this method.

have you modified the fonts.ini and the rich_fonts.ini or are they the originals ?

Nice spent 3 days trying to find a solution to my Freelancer addiction! Found this and 10 minutes later I’m playing FL on my 55 inch tv

@Mirkha: JFLP patches Freelancer so editing the font files isn’t necessary.

JFLP should automatically determine the proper camera; nofovx only prevents users changing it (an anticheat measure to prevent fisheye). You should also not need to edit perfoptions.ini, as JFLP will add your current desktop resolution to the end of the resolution list in the options. And the latest HUD Shift should determine the shift value automatically, so you shouldn’t need to edit HudShift.ini, either.

HUDShift.ini is in the INTERFACE folder. I want to use 1680x1050 but the requisite section still shows [;HUDShift]
perfoptions.ini also still shows the 1280x960 resolution.

Any ideas what I’m doing wrong? the Library in dacom.ini is entered correctly.

Cycle through the resolutions in the options menu, if it’s working correctly then you should find 1680 x 1050 in there.

i made a lil mod for the widescreen setup, check it out, its on the Strategy informer website and the name is
“Rasauuls Widescreen mod”

I realize I’m late to the game, but I got a new comp with a 1920x1080 monitor it it screws up the display on Freelancer. Unfortunately, both the Hudshift and the JFLP links in Kirzan’s post are dead. I tried downloading JFLP from the “Downloads” section (can’t find Hudshift anywhere) and the new JFLP is a .bin file, not .zip or any other compressed file and I don’t know what to do with it.

Suggestions?

I suppose you downloaded the “bin” file from here? -> click

just rename it from “jflp.exe.bin” to “jflp.exe”

There is a link for the standalone DLL file at Adoxa’s site, too.

Thanks for the quick help! Had to muck with the .ini files a little bit (I had to copy-modify-delete-replace because they would’t save within the EXE directory) and got lucky finding hudshift.dll in the plugins, but now everything seems to be working great at 1920X1080.

Thanks again!
