SinglePlayer Commands Console

FOR: Freelancer(and any mod including Crossfire): -Plugins
SinglePlayer Commands Console aka SP's offline FL Hook
ALERT ! Possible huge spoiler if overused.


Note: It works on all known/tested Freelancer mods, including total remakes.


Introduction:
This little .zip (it can be opened by any WinRAR, 7zip, and any other common .zip unpackers) will allow you having the MultiPlayer's Chat Interface, the chat box which appears when you press "Enter", at SinglePlayer, including most known options including admin-type ones.
It's usseful without spoiling the game as you can "Park" character at a station/planet and pick up another character, allowing you to swap between your "trader" large and slow money maker ship to a "killer" figher ship for making missions or even a "Commander" capital ship such as battleships or destroyers, without having to sell your ship to buy what you need for a certain mission.
You also have a "bank" option, certain reputation with NPCs editors and a lot of other more or less usseful possibilities which doesn't spoil your gaming experience.
Yet, it can also "create" money out of nowhere and teleport you anywhere in the universe, getting certain overpowered weapons and other options that can finish your story and fun in few minutes.


You will have all the power you ever wished in Freelancer, can you handle it ?


Installation:
Note: It will require typing a line in a settings file, which is known as "modding", not allowed for most mods, and with no effect for multiplayer experience. In the case of the "Crossfire" mod it will undo your editing and you will loose any change you've done since you double click the Crossfire big X icon. So, as you only want and can use it in Singleplayer,(for Crossfire) it's recommended you temporarly disconnect from the internet before starting the game(there are many ways), also works not allowing Crossfire connect to internet with your firewall/antivirus or pressing the "Singleplayer" button in less than a second after you clicked the CF icon.


To install it follow theese 5 steps:
1. Download and open this "console.zip" file to see the archives inside, no need to extract it.
2. Go to the folder/directory where "Freelancer.exe" is located, in a normal situation at "C:\Program Data\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\EXE"
3. Copy the file called "console.dll" next to your Freelancer.exe, in the same folder.
4. Next to the Freelancer.exe you will find a file called "dacom" with the ini extension, so it can appear as "dacom.ini" for Vista users, open it by double clicking it or left click and open with NoteBlock/Wordpad. It looks like this: Ini-Files-Manager.icon.gif.
5. Inside it right on top there is a " [Libraries] " word that starts a "section" of other words, all of them ending in .dll, right under all those .dll words add a new line and type/copy in " console.dll ", save the changes and exit.


Ready to enjoy !



Tutorial aka "How to use":
Once inside the game, starting it normally(or as said in the introduction for the Crossfire mod and others which will undo your changes) press "Enter" as in Multiplayer and type in "help" without the commas. You will get a list of all commands and it will also tell you can type "help commandname" for getting more info on a certain command, what it is and how to use it properly.
The only option which doesn't appear is the "about" which will show author and version info.


Note: You have a "readme" text inside the downloaded zip with a less detailed installation tutorial and the changes made in each version, all which is written here is made by me(Michael).
Note 2: You only need the console.dll file as you will ONLY copy that file, the rest are the source code and coders files, for who can and know what to do with them.
