thanks for all the possibilities guys but im just trying to stop it from CTD’ing at the minute, only changed his clothes to orrillions but the game didnt like it haha

ahhhh CTD’d hmmm theres a way to make the mod into a file for FLMM isnt there? so i can practice getting everything right? and do you just edit the files in the word pad pop up then save? dont know its thats the right thing to do noob

yeah and it doesnt work, which was the point of my comment

hey mate, the link doesnt work no more, ive been going crazy trying to change just a few little things and no-one seems to be able to help, but i stumbled on this which has pretty much everything ive been looking for, but the link doesnt work so im still stuck, any chance of sorting the link or pointing me in the right direction?

cheers

OK maybe i should explain a bit more what id like to do::

change trent’s clothes to something less…. brown
make All ships Level 1 to buy
change the weapon level on the ships to a minimum of 7
change the power cores of lesser ships to anubis core
possibly make juni’s defender available to buy (if poss)
change the start ship
increase difficulty

and can some one please help me on finding a way to access and view the data files

be a big help as i dont like any of the ‘balanced’ mods

cheers

haha ill be getting the internet! but for now just wanna make SP a bit more fun ^^

no im not playing online, i have my setup at my mums but im moving everything to my GFs who doesnt have the internet, so just single player for me,

ill have a looksee at the links youve posted

haha fair enough ill have to pay attention to what im doing then ^^

cheers mate

Hey guys, finally got my PC sorted and freelancer working fine, but i fancy changing the vanilla FL around a bit to make it more balanced, and so i can use my favorite ships without them sucking so i cant explore anywhere

i believe i have the difficulty bit sorted but does anyone know what value to put it so NPC arent retarded but not impossible?

id also like to modify ship hardpoints, shield class and weapon class… any ideas on what tools and programs ill need?

and if anyone can give me an easy to understand way to do this ill be very grateful, i mean ive looked up but no one seems to have an easy to do guide anymore

many thanks to any that can help

hey guys i know i said this before but some mods just wont work no matter how much pokiing and prodding i do to my system,

the latest one is when im trying to play one of my favourite mods (tie universe)

it comes up with this ::

Error: FLMM has determined that ‘TIE Universe v2.1’ won’t properly activate.
Error: Unable to find dest ‘archetype = li_dreadnought’(…) in ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\data\ships\loadouts_special.ini’

and the file is nowhere to be found, same with all other versions

help???

kris

well its working better, exept now i cant get any mods to work because the computer refuses to save them to FLMM they have padlocks on em and dont show up im gonna cry

is it possible just to remove the integrated stuff by changing the motherboard??

***UPDATE

manage to get one of the older freeworlds mod working, and turned off the background stars seems to run fine now …

thanks all for help but ill post again if i pinpoint something else

well, i havent a clue how much graphics memory. its a 4.4 score according to this new system setting windows used. cant find anything but defonately no background tasks. as i said nothing on my system anymore

im running Nvidia 9200 series if that helps? (no i dont have money to change the actual motherboard)

never i just completely restored my system theres nothing on it, exept freelancer now, just had a test run, seems better but was one bit of major lag again,

could it be my display drivers?

(but game running ok now… so going to try with a mod)

Run a stress test on your pc and find out if anything is on the blink. Try sandra lite demo or something.

ive a really good system, everything updated… i think i may do a system restore because i know my brother was downloading stuff from various websites (which i dont trust) so maybe restore will clear some stuff up

Looks Freelancer CD has been removed from almost all Online Store (B2C) i can found, without eBay of course.

Maybe Microsoft stoped make new Freelancer CD few years ago? That’s may explain why player is less and less…If peoples cannot got the CD, they will can’t play FL.

try www.amazon.com

i baught mine brand new for £5 including shipping.

ofcourse i dont know where you live but it wont be much, check it out

i did a full uninstall and complete install, seemed to work better including graphics but got to the second part of the first story mission (forming up) and massive lag infact so bad we just lagged down the tradelane and went to pittsburgh instead of fighting :S

ive removed a load of games in hope of freeing some memory, and im currently defragging my system (twice today) and ill inform of the results, if i can get vanilla working ill try with a mod

UPDATE

well all was good, 0 lag even on full detail, 1600x1200 resolution… and then middle of space (NO NPC’s) no debris field or anything and just started really bad lagging again, so i turn down detail to 0 and drop to 800x600 and it stopped. i dont get why it just decides it doesnt like to play right

So, it’s seems not fixed.

Let’s go to find the reason:
Open Windows Explorer, enter this address to the address bar:

%UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Freelancer\

You will find a TXT document in it. (If not, may modder disable it)

Open it up( with Word Pad i recommend), copy the last few line (at least 10 lines) and post it here. If there is any error, we will see.

Had a similar problem, I think. The game ran fine vanilla nad even when I installed the first mod. But when I uninstalled the mod the game refused to boot. I’d double click the icon and get a few seconds of hourglass and then nothing. I eventually gave up trying and just uninstalled/reinstalled. It’s worked fine since.

ive done fresh install, ive got a 1080P screen and im having to run vanilla on 800x600 32bit and hardly any effects on, and it still lags when theres a nebula in the distance

same situatuation with fallout 3. but new vegas works

it tried running as admin and how do you edit permission?
