I just found out, in the Beta data\Ships\kusari\ku_battleship\ku_battleship_dmg_rear.3db is the correct model.

Nice catch!

Edit 4:
Seems like ther was another special station like Baxter or Benford:

Hackert Research Station is a fully automated research facility administrated by the Liberty Security Force (LSF).

The name “Hackert Research Station” is “West Point” today (but not the Academy, seems unused).

Hackert appears in the vanilla nameresources.dll, in the section on base personnel it says “Hackert bartender remove” or some such. West point has two entries one specifically for tradelane use as whereever -> west point military academy projects out the side of the dialogue box. I suppose they just used an empty ids entry to make it

Now it says Beta Expired in anycase even is date is September 2002, seems to be i will need VM too ;(

Huh, it means without vodka i will not manage
Thanks - it works.

Delete HKCU\Software\Digital Anvil\Freelancer\xp to reset the first-run date. I’ve submitted an unprotected exe, so you may only need to do it once… The new exe also restores New Game (it starts when you land on Manhattan; crashes on Mission 2 going to Colorado, but AutoSave continues) and Load Game. You can start the story now by copying exe\Accts\SinglePlayer\restart.fl to exe\Accts and loading the game from the Tutorial. Doesn’t seem to have affected anyone else, but I’ve also enabled Multiplayer when you’re offline.

Shift+I is a thorn debugger - just shows the timestamp and script file.

Use command line option -t to add player trail options - FACE to face the target; TRAIL to stay a set distance behind (this is great); and STRAFE LONG to strafe along a target (doesn’t really work).

Single player has jobs, although only certain bases have news (not that I’ve looked). Manhattan has a real newsreader for the first story news, but it seems all the others are TTS.

I think they made the right decision in cutting the trader dialogs…

Tried again and this time realized it didn’t let me upload (doesn’t accept type octet, even though it’s a zip). Uploaded to my site and it took the link, so now you should find it. Could you copy it directly so I can remove it from my site? (Not that it really matters, I guess.)

Do not fly to Honshu. Gamecrash because of some archetype.

Just got that PM. Why the fuck do we attract all the crazies?

Let him publish it so we can analyze the cheats

Btw I forgot to thank adoxa. Wodka got it decrypted, but the import obfuscation and the other stuff would have taken us too long so we decided to not do it.

:P</flinfobot></flinfobot></flinfobot>

Well, we are hiding it, aren’t we? I know its gonna be released in a week, but whats the reason in the first place? Not that I care much, but from his perspective I would understand that one can be annoyed. He could just have asked nicely, though.

Maybe post all data of that one in the silly cheaters section.

Cambridge Research Station was called Kingston Border Station.

The debug keys work - here’s the quick list & notes I made:

key = USER_WARP            ,65,ALT      ; no apparent affect
key = DBG_INFO             ,66,ALT      ; lots of info (space only)
key = DBG_INFO_2           ,67,ALT      ; no apparent affect
key = DBG_INTERFACE_VIEW   ,68,ALT      ; interface tree list window
key = DBG_BLINK_WARP       ,69,ALT      ; no apparent affect
key = DBG_TEST_EFFECT      ,71,ALT      ; no apparent affect
key = DBG_DESTROY_TARGET   ,72,ALT      ; kills ship
key = DBG_AI_TOOL          ,73,ALT      ; ai window
key = DBG_CONSOLE          ,74,ALT      ; debug console (lots of stuff)
key = DBG_OPTIONS          ,75,ALT      ; get/set options (view shields!)
key = DBG_TEXTURES         ,76,ALT      ; number of textures, memory usage
key = DBG_FPS_GRAPH        ,77,ALT      ; fps graph
key = DBG_NAVMAP_TELEPORT  ,78,ALT      ; jump to location ("teleport to" works!)
key = DBG_NAVMAP_DRAW_ZONES,79,ALT      ; show all zones on navmap
key = DBG_NAVMAP_DRAW_SHIPS,80,ALT      ; show all ships on navmap
key = DBG_NAVMAP_SHOW_ALL  ,81,ALT      ; show everything on navmap
key = DBG_SHOW_MISSION     ,82,ALT      ; mission details

```You can view shields by using Alt+K for the options, press Right to make [Outlines] 1; press + to open up Outlines; then select Shields and press Right to make it 1\. Voila, visible shields. Unfortunately, [Outlines] doesn't exist in retail.

Yay, teleport works - need to check. I saw it at Alpha video

Hello, friends.
Some new for me. Freelancer beta have interesting effect with gravity rings. See this:

http://www.elite-games.ru/images/freelancer/game/test4_03.png

Put amber.ini to ring in omega41 and view this effect. Ring is disappears if you fly around him.

But puffs have many bugs…
