a very easy to follow walk through to install. and make needed changes for today’s computers.

I played for the first decade on many Modded servers, even helped on a few Mods, but been years since I played frequently. and my primary computers are Apple. So I don’t remember how to make sure you have all previously saved files removed from Fl and FLMM to make sure you have a clean install, I don’t remember how to manually install if needed. I don’t remember many things and I have to search and search to try and find threads that wind up in archives. So not all previous players know how to get things running.

I do look fwd to seeing where the mods go. especially with better graphics and skins.

Hello, I originally went By Maxthor, so some might know me. though I did see another now using that name.

I am an Aerospace Manufacturing Engineer, which means I make build steps and instructions on how to build and modify aircraft.

I wanted to give some insight to possibly help you get people to your servers.

There are a couple thousand registered bodies in the starport, yet you usually see just around a hundred pilots in servers throughout the day.

why?

Let me give you some pointers. (Rules for training, education, and instruction)

1. Never Ever assume a player/Pilot knows anything. even if they had done this before they may have forgotten. act like you are showing your own child how to start playing.

2). because of rule 1, always give detailed baby steps into how to get your mod onto their computer and play. and I mean STEP by Agonizing STEP. “but the steps are in the mod spaces if you search for it.” NO, you write your step and put a link if you want to that. Human nature is if they have to click away from more than once you lose them.

3. Have your “How to” Steps in multiple locations, don’t rely on another link to support you. if that link goes away you lose.

4. Advertise! you have the ability to put pictures in here, place photos in between the steps of your universe to make them excited to go explore.

5. Be there to help. these days you don’t have to pay and run your own forum Server, you can set up a free business Facebook account and put all kinds of content in there, get notifications, place your steps and advertise. be there for tech support. another place to have your “How to”.

You can ignore this if you wish but if you’re not helpful and excited to play this game why would anyone else want to join?

So the 4.68 is actually 1.68?
Does it, self install, need to be in FLMM, need to be put in manually?
Does it need to be installed manually on a fresh copy of Freelancer?

I loved this Mod and Shadow works studio for it. However those who have had the servers have always done weird things. the web sights are never properly associated with the Mod. always has a different name, first, it was Zeus’s home of the Gods. then it was Galactic gate, neither of which was ever easy to find and the Mod was always hard to find a link was broken many times. just as not the server is up. for EU. but the website is down. so you can’t find the new 4.68 mod anywhere. and you cannot click on the mod in the server list for info as you have to have that mod in order to see info. so if anyone knows who what where for NSU, It would be appreciated.
