there has been a lower player base lately. but just before Xmas hit it was jumping up and down. when we do CMs theres like 30 players on. which is freaking nuty.

But for the most part ya. were all working on sloving it. one thing is the old ad videos saying 1.3 and now were 1.5 so its all out of date. " not ranting at the staff " but once thats all worked out and huge mass ads are ran i think it will help draw us in.

Right now i have no clue what the numbers are. im out of state with family on my laptop. lol

Well i only said that. as it looks very much like a Kusari fast attack would look like. i cant mod for crap. which is me saying i cant mod. lol.

I would contact Digdug or forsaken on maybe adding it to the Shattered worlds line of ships. i know afew over there would fly it.

Nice ships, very nice dude. i was looking at this one and i think Swwt could fit it. but im not the right person for it.

But i think Shilone HF could be a Fast attack fighter in Swwt. as they are needing a fast attack fighter. but they might need to rename the ship…

Anyways. Great ships dude. i love the wood decked ship btw. be a kool pirate ship lol. " Walk the plank "

i had the same problem when i had to make a new email account, as the old one was hacked and being spammed to the point of not even being able to delete all the crap and i had to pm a Admin to have it changed.

I think a option to change the email would be great. make it a request option, with a email that is sent to the new email to conform the change and than you have to click a link to fully change the email. that would keep bots or what ever from spamming.

just a thought

Im not gonna use FLMM any longer. il keep 1.5 installed just to have it. but to me 1.3 is just as unstable as 1.5.

1.3 does not support vista or win 7 so its unstable there. plus it still creates FLbak files and i for one feel those cause problems of some sort. either way FLMM either needs to be updated or not used. for the reason of it only supporting Win xp.

For the most part theres alot of things that FLMM can cause. like script problems and FLbak being maded. along some other things. which all can cause some sort for problem either with Jason freelancer patch,Hudshift or the mod it self. either way some where down the road FLMM can cause all types of problems. to me in some cases even performance problems.

@Gisteron, True. but for the most part. people that dont know all the techy stuff could get lost in how to do it that way. and would be best to just stop using FLMM and just unzip the mod and than just copy over the FL fresh install. as its the same thing that FLMM does. but it makes all types of things and does things to the install of FL/Mod on the fly such as FLbak. which to me causes problems.

Plus. FLMM is out of date and has stopped being updated. i have 1.5 beta 1 installed and its not even for use in Vista or even Win 7 so that it self can cause problems. plus FLmm is not perfect in the way it handles mods and your files to the game.

Just my deep thoughts. not sure if any of it makes sense. and this is getting of topic. mybad.

After doing some troubleshooting of my own. i managed to get rid of the screen/mouse lagg performance problem. not sure what it was. but i did the following

I stopped using Jason Patch ( Not installer, only Dlls. ) but stopped using it none the less.

Stopped using FLMM ( meaning i copyed over Fl with mod ).

Than using Swwt widescreen and Hudshift. updated Flconfig. and than went to performance tab ingame and just a tad lowered the detail silder just abit.

That all caused the screen/mouse lagg/slow performance to stop. but the blur is still there. that im sure is caused by the HD LED screen.

So im not at all sure what caused the lagg or what not. so one of those is causing it. if not a mix of one or the other. And its not heat related as iv done nothing to stop or slow heat problems.

Thanx for all the advice/support

BF2 = Battlefield 2. sorry. im used to doing that in tech posts. shorting everthing. and the game should cause alittle more problems than Fl.

Iv always read that AMD chips run cooler than Intel and use less power. and to me they are. also more stable than Intel. ever time i have used Intel they seem to crash and over heat far to easly than AMD. which is why i went for a higher price laptop. and we all know that Intel GPUs are total crap. but were getting of subject here. and i dont want to be a jerk.

Theres only one spot on the bottom of the laptop that has a slot that looks like for intake. and FL dont seem to create any heat problems at all. BF2 does how ever seem to create alot of problems such as that. more so on my old pc.

Didnt mean to come off as jerk, never is my goal. but always tend to. Il let it slide til i can get my Video/Sound drivers. and see if that helps. until than, il play around with some settings and see if i can get it worked out. il keep what you guys said in mind.

@Bullwinkle, Okay, no theres no heat problem here. the room im is cold. im freezing. i argee that fans blowing down is dumb.slaps fan makers but this laptop dont have funs on the bottom only one on the side.

the specs of my system are
AMD Turion II P540 Duel Core 2.40ghz, AMD Radeon HD 4250 with 256mb ram and hyper memory. 2gs ram and 500g hdd. so i dont think specs is a problem here. second i can run BF2 with no heat problems aswell and no frame rate lose and the settings are maxed out at 1366x768.

@Timmy51m, thanx for reminding me of that setting, i forgot about it. i dont use a laptops battery when i dont need to.

Maybe its just the stock drivers thats causing it. il get em soon as i can. and if that dont work. than il just live with this problem.

Na, its not a heat problem, it starts just as i log on to the game and comes and goes. at will. and i can play BF2 at the same screen size and with setting totaly maxed out and dont have the problem. im thinking it something to do with FL something on this laptop.

Now im not sure if it does it at 800x600. but i cant anymore fans as im on a laptop. so that cant be done. and the air blows out the side so its clear of anything blocking it.

just to note, its not a conneciton lag. thats why i call it a screen lag. as thats what i feel it is. maybe its the HD LED screen somehow.

I really dont think its a heat problem. a game such as this on a new laptop shouldnt to me cause alot of heat. as a morden day system would be able to handle old game such as FL with out having to work to hard.

I have one problem with Widescreen not sure what it is.

Im running at 1366x768 and it looks great. but the problem i notice is a screen lag and a screen blur type problem. the blur dont bug me all to bad. but the screen lag is such that the mouse somewhat times out and the game gets abit slow.

I thought it was the AMD Dual-Core Optimizer so in uninstalled it.

Snake eye told me about FL and Duel core not getting along and told me about Affinity. so iv tryed that.

i thougth it was my sound ( Windows sound ) being at 24bit/48000 hz so i lowered it to 16.

but none of that worked. i checked the ENB files in Swwt. but that turned up with all settings off.

I posted in Hudshift request as to what i did to get 1366x768 to work. so you can have a look there as to what i did. im not sure if its GPU drivers or not. as i am unable to download them currently.

Another site you can look at for info on my problem is this site to.Swwt ENB also what all Dlls do i need to use. im only using jflp.dll and jflpac.dll.

Thanx for the update. i can see the change in the bar. its more pulled out from what it was. and thanx for putting up with me

Welcome to the Deep dark space of The Starport!

Im trying to peak my head in over and post where i can.
( I feel like all i do is post for my needs. Oo wait i do. lol )

Good to see more joining the world of Freelancer or in this case good to know your still around the deep cold world of Freelancer

I was wanting to post and say that iv got it all running at the screen size i wanted and that it looks good. and post the way i went about doing it

The following steps i know for sure will work for 1366x768/16:9 Aspect Ratio ( Widescreen )

1, Download Jason Dll Hudshift

2, Unzip folder and place jflp.dll and jflpac.dll, in Exe folder.

2A, Unzip folder and place Hudshift.dll in exe folder

4, Added jflpac.dll,jflp.dll,Hudshift.dll to last line of [Libraries] in Dacom.ini file, in exe folder

4A, Place Hudshift.ini in Interface in data folder

5, In Cameras.ini place a ; infront of FOVX that is under winCamera.

6, open hudshift.ini and remove ; from [hudshift] for 16:9 line

7, Open Fl and goto options and choose the video size of 1366x768.

8, open a save game or join your fav server and Enjoy

This is all thanx to adoxa, i just being a smart ass and reposting how to do it. as i know afew will find it hard to do.

Known bugs with this is as follows.

On scanner where players show names run off the scanners.

there is a blur effect ingame when moving or fighting npcs, or using turrert mode. this might just be on my end. so im unsure on this one.

Iv not noticed any other bugs. but im the only one that has ran at this screen size.

Anyways. hope no one minds me spammming again and posting a How to for this screen size.

NVM after some fooling around. i found a fix for it all.

Installed Hudshift used the 16:9 line.
Installed jflp.dll and jflpac.dll via Dacom.ini both to Exe folder
Added ; to Fovx in Cameras.ini, which disabled the file. allowing Hudshift and the Jason patch dlls to run with out it reverting.

The only thing that noticed now is some blurry movements due to the high screen size. but thats nothing to worry over. the game will run on morden day systems with out causing any damage. the thing is tweaking and fooling around with FLs engine.

ThanX again adoxa for help

ya there is a widescreen shortcut but it doesnt run FL with out cutting the hud off. you can always run Fl at widescreens. but the problem is the hud moving in to right placement.

which is the problem im having. the game is running widescreen ( no black bars on side of screen ). but the hud is cut off or not even on screen.

right but that means me having to uninstall the game and the mod. i tryed putting jflpac.dll in exe folder and adding the line to dacom.ini. but it still reverts.

Or am i doing it wrong. if i have to il uninstall the game but i really dont want to have to do that again.

I installed Hudshift and jflp.dll via Dacom.ini at which time i opened the game and loaded a game. the hud and everthing was still off the screen. so i closed and reopen ( as i heard that doing that will sometimes reset and get it going ) and everthing seemed to be widescreened. loaded a game and everthing was fine. til i undocked and it all reverted until you close and reopen the game. which than upon docking it does it again.

the only Dll that i didnt install via dacom or use was jflpac.dll as i didnt know where to place it.

To sum it up i did the following.

Installed Hudshift. removed ; from the 16:9 line.
Installed jflp.dll via Dacom.
open game and placed the game on 1366x768 as it gave the option.

upon loading save game. it was all fine. until a undock which reverted until you close and reopen the game. which than upon undocking reverts it back.

I wonder if theres a way to total over hual the FL video engine so that it can run at widescreens and roll this all up in to one big tweak. so that its not do this and this.

Sweet, Swwt does seem to use rather larger font. which i never noticed til you said it.

could i install the patch with out having to install using the installer?

could i install the dll’s to the patch like that of the hudshift and it work? i just dont see any reason to install it via the installer. and what dll files would i need?

Alright. i can use the shattered worlds video target line command to run the game at the setting im wanting ( 1366x768 ) but the problem is that the hud is totaly off the screen. i was wanting to know what aspect ratio is 1366x768 and if Hudshift can move the hud even if using the Swwt command line to gain the screen size.

I only ask as iv tryed everone. but im unable to get the hud to move in place.

or can i use the jason patch to gain the screen size i want? i tryed the instalable patch and it messed with the game so i didnt want to use it.

Thanx ahead

Ya but the program stayed there. so i had to uninstall the game. no biggy for me as im used to uninstalling and reinstalling. its the easyist way to fix something.

But the program doesnt run at 1366x768. nor does FL or Hudshift. but than again its a odd Screen size that iv never heard of. but than again iv been stuck on tech from 2005 to 2008 so im behind everthing. lol.

If theres anyway to get FL to run at the above size and it look and feel like it. that be freaking sweet.
