I remember you Forsaken 🙂 It’s been a long time.

Not sure. I suggest turning on the performance timers in flhook to get an idea of where the problem lies. Get hold of me on skype or msn and we can discuss it.

Ok thanks man, I appreciate it!

Might want to look at the spawn distances in the encounter ini files.

zone_creation_distance = 0

Most are set to the above so the encounter will spawn ships very close to you. I made a liner encounter where i changed the creation distance to 3 which spawns a fair distance away due to ship size. While this doesn’t totally stop the planet diving, it’s about 90% improved.

yay - in the top 100 again
i request a special award for constantly being there ^^

however - yes votes have different values
to be exact there are 2 values

user votes guest votes
only user votes count, guest votes are only taken when 2 mods have the same amount of user votes

the time being member of moddb does not matter

I am not sure if i can submit a mod article. I made the mistake to release the next version of my mod (after 2 years working on it) right in the middle of the mod awards and fixing the last problems on the server have priority now. I have asked someone from my community to write such an article. That one will be submitted.

2nd priority is the moddb site as its getting up to 1500 visits per day and the swat sites also receive 4000-6000 visits per day while TSP is not very player orientated.

next week is fine I don’t expect you to do anything in 24 hours, I meant I will send the files your way in 24 hours.I will learn that splicing thing eventually cuz it’s inevitable but for now I have too many things on my to do list.

As far as I can tell, there is no limit to the number of systems in the path files, which suggests the problem is actually with the number of gates/holes in the system itself. That was “fixed” in the related topic.

works fine so far 8-)

Apparently it was a pathfinding issue. I suggested it, and Digdug tested it, and the crash quit. I’ve yet to do it on my end and see how it works.

To fix this, there are two options:

Modify the SP to lock all of the stuff which was unlocked for multiplayer at the start of M01.

Modify each of the missions to remove the waypoint function at the start of the mission.

At any rate, I’m really glad this is sorted. Hopefully the singleplayer guys will be able to play the full SP storyline using the additions and improvements of Shattered Worlds :: War-Torn

Many thanks to those who replied. 😛

One side note, there are some older model formats in FL that use an entirely different layout and no importer yet made will open them. You’ll know if you open it up with UTF editor and see “openFLAME 3D N-mesh”, “Rigid body”, etc. Then there’s the UI models, which don’t have a VMesh in the same file. That’s going to be a very long process piecing them together 😕 seeeriously.

Ras made that i think… over on the FLcommunity site goes for about 2 pages if i can recall… I have it saved here I’ll send it to ye…

As for posting it… I’ll ask Ras about sending the info here as well or reposting it myself if he allows 😉

Freakin stuff makes my head spin… lolz 8-)

Look at the start of storylvl.cpp (mentioned that on the site, but neglected it here). However, if you want to include it as part of an FLMM mod, put it in EXE and add the path (…\EXE\storylvl.dll), since FLMM won’t read it from DLLS.

Does anyone know what formation fighters used during missions?

This was the correct answer.

Thanks LS 😛

After spending many lurking and occasionally posting, I honestly need to say something.
Almost all of you, are pathetic, even me to an extent
I spent time with so many other modding communities, but coming back to Freelancer just makes me cringe.
Every last thing is always bicker bicker bicker, argue, this community sucks, this mod does this, this mod does that, they all suck, etc.
I’ve seen games that were in much worse situations than Freelancer that ended up better simply because of a united community.
Look at Half-Life, look at Morrowind, look at Oblivion, all games that have been able to keep strong because of amazing modding communities.
And look at us. The majority of people who actually know about Freelancer think the modding community is awful.
I’ve finally been able to accept that Microsoft will NEVER, EVER release Freelancer 2, the source code, just deal with it.
WE however, have a chance to create a Freelancer 2, all our modders might argue, and many are immature, but god damn, they have talent, and talent could finally make that dream mod we all look for, and it wouldn’t take just one person, but all of us.
Right now, I’m with OP, that chance is so low it might as well be impossible.
But they said that things like Morrowind and Oblivion going online was impossible, and that happened, thanks to the community.

So for those who can’t read that much text, and want a shortened version. Here:
If you don’t stop being immature, and work together, Freelancer will die. Painfully.
And I doubt you’ll ever stop arguing about who’s mod is best to actually do that.

Hmmmm, my method is different to this, i added those entries not in the shiparch.ini but into the rtc_shiparch.ini and it works fine 😄

that is a good idea and place links so people could down load and try new mods 🙂

Has anyone made some progress on this?
I still dont get the sur’s to work with this way doesnt matter if I use only boxes or only spheres, the ship to ship collision detection wont work.

I know in what situations I use each one of them. But I hoping someone had done some tests and observed how the npc reacts. Example: Npcs enter by cruise, then wander for 1 minute then they leave.

Since noone else has tested, I guess its the only thing to do.
