Need Help Tool Q's

Im trying to learn the Awsome tool’s made for modding
a slow proccess to be sure ive been actavating them as needed per tutorials and read me’s
but some are kicking me Blue.
I’m Hoping i can be pointed in the right direction for info pertaining to these tool’s.

If my questions are of the DUH nature i apologize in advance but i clearly have not absorbed the obvious.
1: msCMPExporterV3
as a test i added a turret hard point to the starflyer and tried to update existing
it clumped all the hard points together and ate half the ship i’m not clear on how the number of groups and the group quantities work are hard points a part of the group? Is a wing by itself a mesh or a grouped group of parts a mesh that i would count as a number of groups to export? giving the line below i don’t imagine that possible
Number Of Groups: Default = 1 (Maximum quantity is 18) you would run past 18 in a quick hurry.
what is quantities asking for? is that the individual groups?

–--------------------------------------------------------
2:Create Id
I have been unable to find any information on how it works
do i need to put it some where in particular. The app itselfe or the short cut to it?
All i get is the black screen with info and press any key to exit <try running=“” from=“” command=“” promt=“”>by pressing what would apear as a command prompt it does as promised It EXITS.
3:FledsID

using the empty Dll
i have placed the empty dll and added it to the freelancer ini files in the EXE Folder
i have entered in (start here) in the lower right corner and put the number gained (458753)
in the top left ids_name and pushed the Get ids_name button
and recieved the (start here) in the big white box
i did this for both.
The thing i’m not understanding is WHY are the Id Name and the Id Info number (458753)
the Same every thing i have seen or observed tells me that they can not be the same
and the infocard importer/exporter agrees with me.
from what ive seen it should be somthing like (458753)(459753)
or_elite_power01 (Order Heavy Fighter Powerplant)--------IDName-263735 -IDInfo-264735
ge_oe_engine_01 (Order Fighter Engine)–IDName-263702 -IDInfo-264702—/Coralation–Anubis
or_elite (Anubis)----------IDName-237041 -IDInfo-66581
WHAT AM I MISSING???
Any thoughts on tools i dont know i need i have pretty much downloaded all of the … Well pretty much all of the downloads in star port i’m quite certain ive more than i need but Which ones do i need most.
4:I Have managed to change my starting ship and have altered weapons Compared to what was possible for me a short while ago i have learned a lot.
if any have a tip or two or three or four or… i would love to hear it.

How do i get FL Infocard IE
to stop erroring on them

WARNING: >’ not found at the end of ids 458753…fixing
WARNING: >’ not found at the end of ids 458753…not fixed 458753
info card start here
WARNING:duplicate ids 458753
WARNING:oldtype name=NAME
WARNING:old text=start here
WARNING:new type =start here
laoded 18444 infocards

i get this at the end of info card Import/Export
i have no idea what i’m doing.
i hope it did not seem like i was saying i did

frustration is winning the race.

I need a better understanding of this tool and its counter part’s.

also do i write over start here or does it need to be there

and what of the ships that apear to be in the dll it apears to know there there and they have ids do i start below them with the NEW

i guess i was trying to use the HTML and modify them from the empty dll
im not sure if i have a way to create xml i’m sure that i am missing somthing big i just don’t know what

k ill try it thanks

ok i seriously don’t want to mess up and have to replace with backups because im not entirely sure what’s going to change when i push the button.
i got the anubis by get ids name and info on the left side
on the right the info card dll is showing by default and on the bottom right i set to the new empty dll
don’t know what convert would do and the bottom ids name and info i do what with
if i push save ids name and info for left side and confirm save it’s gonna do WHAT
i geuss i’m hoping it saves it into the empty dll where where i can create a new id for it
but i dont dare do any thing untile thats confirmed right or wrong.

Ok I found a tutorial

thanks for all your help.

sumanuti gave me some helpful information on CreatID through a link
unfortunatly for me i don’t apear to have a RUN function does anybody Know where it would Be on a W-7 64 or how i would work around the lack of the function.

@ khayman - For hash thing, adoxa’s tools is all what u need.
1. Get the CreateID and Flunhash and place them in your user profile foolder: C:\Users\user\ or C:\Document and Settings\user
2. Start-run-cmd
3. Type createid -sh to create hash database hashes.dat
4. Drag and drop fl-server-errors.log on flunhash.exe file and u get fl-server-errors.txt with nickname related hashes.

COOL Thank you sumanuti

i got it to acknowledge it now i just have to PLAY with it
