Multiplayer-ID

sweet Now i finaly know how to extract reg entrys with a batch command
Surely a nice tool for people who dont like the Account Manager and/or play with 1 account only!

when you say it resets my ID with a double click. What do you mean by it exactly ?

Does it give me a new ID

Its not possible to store multiple IDs in the registry at the same time so you would have to overwrite the current regfile entry with a different one whenever you want to switch accounts.
Once you have created a new 2nd account (via creating a new windows user, loging in with it and starting the game) you can extract it with your batch file and just doubleclick the resulting reg file for whatever account you want to use^^. Only make sure you copy and save your first account when attempting to extract the 2nd one.
Freelancer Account Manager does kind of exactly the same but with more hassle in startup, memory load in the background (hence its another app you have to start rather then doubleclicking a *.reg file^^). Some people claim FLE to not be intenionally usable either. I think I will switch to the regfile method now

//edit: @ Supercars: Maybe there is a little missunderstanding. The batch file does not 'generate' you a new code in order to make a second account. It does extract the information of your CURRENT code into a handy piece of regfile to export and import anywhere. (So it doesnt get lost or you can take that file to your friend playing with your account from a different place or pc.) If you want to know how to create new FL accounts on the same pc read the sections above and/or take the Freelancer Account Manager readme which sums the process of making a new account up very well. (just google for it).

When I click it says, Out of Environment Space.

Was this Program a joke or something else is wrong.

EDIT: Sorry guys, i'm being an idiot - slap me plz.

nothing wrong with the batch there m8^^.

SYMPTOMS
When you start a batch file or use a command prompt, you may receive the following error message: Out of environment space

CAUSE
The default space for environment variables is 256 bytes by default. More environment variables are being set than can fit in 256 bytes.

RESOLUTION
1. Right-click the MS-DOS Prompt shortcut, and then click Properties.
2. Click the Memory tab.
3. In the Initial Environment box, set the initial environment size you want (from 256 to 4,096 bytes, in 256-byte increments).
4. Click OK.

Thanks for the comment m8 but my Initial Environment is set to Auto. Is it advisable to change that

Please answer friends and maybe some of the non-working games may work for me.

Huor. Sorry m8. I have been very angry the whole day with dumbass people.

well i still think that c:\program files\microsoft games\freelancer\exe\mpaccountid.hta is the easiest way...

that means if you installed FL into that directory

still after the next windows reinstall you would have to put in the code manualy taken from the mpaccountid.hta. With Hours regfile it only needs a simple doubleclick^^.

ahhh. now i see.

ok. great job huor. thx straw for enlightening me.

stickied for its usefulness and closed incase of more spam

Will move to SWAT Portal downloads soon
