Qi may i ask - which VM technology you using if it is not a secret?

it’s been a while since i played with that, but from what i remember the code to get/set the path for loading the .dll file doesn’t work right.
once i rewrote it in .net style and it did work.

here is a basic checklist what could make LoadLibrary function fail:
1.1. “AppPath” found in “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\1.0” doesn’t exist.
1.2. “EXE” directory doesn’t exist inside “AppPath”.
1.3. “common.dll” file doesn’t exist inside “EXE” directory.
2. RegOpenKeyEx function fails.
3. SetExeDirectory function fails.

here is the code snippet that worked for me:

using namespace Microsoft::Win32; using namespace System::IO; Common::Common(bool loadres) { String^ cwd = Directory::GetCurrentDirectory(); Object^ reg = Registry::GetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Microsoft Games\\Freelancer\\1.0", "AppPath", nullptr); if (reg != nullptr) Directory::SetCurrentDirectory(String::Concat(reg->ToString(), "\\EXE")); ... Directory::SetCurrentDirectory(cwd); }

so you could either debug and fix the original code or use .net, which i recommend anyway.
hope it helped.

Disconnecting from the server should be all that is required. There is no difference between a disconnect (not going to the character selection screen, an actual server disconnect) and closing the game entirely.

The kick function does just that.

Remind me again how does it work? You know, entries, parameters and stuff… I just deleted it with the readme since it had bugs…

Thank you for all the replies. I am checking out the possibilities with the info you gave me. This is great.

These are all great programs.
And source code included.

Thank you all!

I will write a nice report on mechanics once the dynamic economy is done.

Adoxa’s suggestion worked. When I added the base = setting to the docking ring, two things happened

The docking ring, if targeted, now showed the name of the base (before it only showed its reputation name) the base showed up in the visited list

But I will also make market_commodities.ini alphabethic

Thank you!

Wow this is gold.
Thank you!
