Thanks guys, your replies finally sorted something that kept me busy for quite a long time lol. And as often, it’s something very simple - don’t use RLE compression…

@Gisteron: I’m guessing that your graphical program took the original image settings when you imported it, and saved it the same way.

@Chips: thanks m8, that topic was very helpful as well in regards to the fact that not even all images are really needed for the game.

Cheers guys.

I know, the only things I did were add in new ships, new encounters, link together systems with jumpholes, and new music.

@Trainwiz: Look at the start of NoNavMap.cpp.

@Gibbon: Sure, but I meant it has no effect against preventing the lanes being shown on the map.

I believe at this point if anybody knew you’d have an answer already.

I use it for basic object placement, but the actual other stuff I do with notepad.

None of these help, in fact, my server now crashes whenever I launch to space. I haven’t changed permutation, because I have no idea what it does.

You can only loot a wreck once per character. That is hardcoded.

Er, no it’s not. Just echoing Dwn’s comment really as he’s correct with what he says. Visit=16 has always been the line that defines a wreck to be be looted once only. Visit=0 removes the restriction which again is what Dwn said. Just thought i’d back him up on tis lol. It’s early and i just got up 🙂

Oh man, now I remember reading that too 😛 It’d be nice to have a brain that remembers things!

A majority of the things you’ve requested can be found here:

And unless I’m mistaken, if you set the damage of the gun to 1000, and have a gun with 2 HpFire’s (giving you two lasers), you’ll do 2x damage (if all shots hit), 3 HpFire’s will give you 3x damage (if all shots hit), etc.

Glad you like it.

I was trusting you already knew that, 'cos I’m not exactly sure myself. A starting point would be to grab FLEd - Thorn Decompiler to decode DATA\SCRIPTS\EXTRAS\player_fidget.thn. Replace one of the original scripts with one of the above and replace the .thn file (it’ll work fine with the text version). You may even be able to get away with doing it with Freelancer running - just enter another room.

E:\FL\Scratch\Source\Common\Systems.cpp(2889) : *** ERROR: System “Omega-13” has no msg_id_prefix information, which it will need to be referred to by space GCS - See TAYBRO
E:\FL\Scratch\Source\Common\Archetype.cpp(60) : *** ERROR: ArchDB::Get(2181039503) failed

That’s what it says in the console.

i like that lol also…

A base should not drop any loot by default (what would it have to drop?). You need to put whatever you want to make it drop in its cargo through the base’s loadout.

Thanks, but I mean these Hypergate effects:

The big glowy ball thing, I know Crossfire has it.

when the beam leaps off the fire point, thats because Fraps is screwing up the visual, its perfect in game.

Sure, that might help with combining the resources themselves, but there’ll still be a fair bit of effort to change the numbers in the ini files.

Resource Hacker is probably just as good, and it’s free. Myself, I prefer to work with the actual .rc source.

That’s an issue with single-core CPUs that stems from FLDev’s multithreading for the DLL loading routine. I’m afraid you’re out of luck 😞
