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.

Just got that PM. Why the #$%% do we attract all the crazies?

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

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…

Alucard

Screens look neat, too bad I don’t know how to get this to run. I hope you guys get some good things from this.

@Alucard: Assuming you mean you can’t get past the CD check, did you miss this.

Alucard

Yeah I downloaded it but had no idea what to do after that, lol. Something about two files in there with no explanation* on what to do…. well i don’t know. Well to bad I just can’t install like normal stuff.

Edit: thought was the other thing, I’ll try it out.

Alucard

Nope, says missing common .dll.

adoxa

Just go to your Freelancer Beta\exe directory and replace the FreeLancer.exe there with the one from the downloads.

Timmy51m

You need to download daemon tools lite Alucard and use it to mount the files you’ve downloaded, they are an image of the disc.

Alucard

So I did as you guys said and wow. From total lock ups and blue screen crashes. Never got past the main menu at which point it locks everything up. Thanks for trying though.

[d]commenting out SoundStreamer.dll from DACOM fixes the sound buffer error and still has sound, but no music or voices[/d]
Edit Installing the codec with custom option with everything except web plugin installs them, after that just open Run and run “regsvr32 iac25_32.ax” and sound fully works now

Start the game with -w command line so it starts it window mode so if it locks up you can kill it in task manager
If you get success errors just click ignore

Also the graphic settings have shadows DAFQU!!!??
Can anyone figure out how to enable them??

The ScenarioSaves won’t work becouse they are missing a system E3, i wonder what might that be lol

Can someone addapt Adoxa’s console for this version, would be fun to explore the 58 systems

My discoveries

Newark is still under construction and its called Interspace Commerce Base.
Ship pilot names are randomly generated
Weapon groups
Auto-turret toggle
A lot more derbis in New York system
Reputation is shown on selected ships as the selection box, Rouges are orange when attacking the convoy in the first mission
Pilots scream to death on coms when killed.(Like in the missions in the final)
Sometimes when pilots die they say “Come on you son of a bitch” to their ships
Kings’ voice is Microsoft Sam :lol:
In Freelancer Beta you don’t need to read the news they are read to you 8-)

Pittsburgh cant be docked X<

Made a no story save, jobs are available, at least on Newark

[d]God mode
Enable console by adding key = DBG_CONSOLE,74,CONTROL to UserKeyMap.ini
press CTRL + J and type god_mode, typeing help gives most of the commands[/d]
Edit works only on targets :[

SYS isn’t listed but it reloads the current system, it does not work porperly tho

You were able to make the Beta campaign/singleplayer work?

Yes, you just need to start it properly just like in the final version, go to the bar, talk to Juni, go to the equipment dealer and so on

I mean, how were you able to start the SP campaign when the Singleplayer button is greyed out? Did you modify the tutorial’s .fl file?

You need to use Adoxa’s unportected exe

Thanks, I overlooked that. Didn’t know it enabled singleplayer gameplay.

It’s funny how King goes through about 2-3 different voice actors as well as Microsoft Sam from launching off of Manhattan to meeting the USV Brandt. I didn’t have any problems with Pittsburgh and went on to the XT-19 mission, but I gave up because I kept getting fatal error dialogs that I had to keep closing when I shot at enemy fighters near death.

The Beta Order use some weird ranks, like Father, Brother and Wurm. I wonder if any other missions are different, I was listening to some of the voice files and in the escape from Liberty the IMG warn you that the Navy stormed Freeport 4 and they give you directions to Mactan.
