RankDiff.ini

After some times searching by hand and using the search engine I didn't found anything related to the RankDiff.ini in the missions folder.

Most likely they have something to do with leveling up during the game (that's what I would think already just by its name).

Is anybody able to explain, what it's really for and how it works and can be worked on ?

Thanks already in advance

[SIZE=3]AHA [/SIZE] ....

And how do they work?

[RankDiffDB]
rank_diff = Base_0_Rank, 0.082100
rank_diff = FreeTime_01_02, 0.112387
rank_diff = FreeTime_02_03, 0.205129
rank_diff = FreeTime_03_04, 0.351002
rank_diff = FreeTime_04_05, 0.480486
rank_diff = FreeTime_05_06, 0.657737
rank_diff = FreeTime_07_08, 0.900376
rank_diff = FreeTime_08_09, 1.232525
rank_diff = Mission_End, 38.983860

These are quite odd numbers and I assume they may be kind of a multiplicator. .....But what is the base, that gets changed with them ?

Is it money ? Then, what's the base ammount ?

Is it reputation ?

And (of course) where does it apply ? In SP, OSP or MP ?

It is not my intention to mod your mod, especially [SIZE=3]NOT[/SIZE] for the public.
[SIZE=1](And still I think it is my right to do on MY PC whatever I want to with programs that ARE open to the public. And as long as I don't give anybodyelse access to what I do, there is no violation of anybody elses legal or ideal rights.)[/SIZE]
I just wanna LEARN something with the goal of becomming at some point in the future able enough to really contribute to a modding team or even do some OWN stuff.

Quite the opposite!
I don't want to make anything easier, I look for a way to make things HARDER in a sense that you have to work more, until you can proceed in the story,

not in a sense as it has been done i.e. in "BigDaddys mod", where just the lengh of a single fight seems to be endless due to the kind of equipment thats accesseble to you,

not in a sense that the npcs are just unbeatable due to inhuman-ai-flying-abilities, loadouts and numbers that are given to them.

Well, I think one reason for forums at all is, that if you start getting into anything, you don't have to reinvent the wheel.

Then, perhaps, I might get an answer to a GENERAL Freelancer question somewhere else.

Thx anyway

Well, for your knowledge, a general FL site's answer wouldn't work on this mod, as the coding itself is quite different... that's why the char wipe from 1.7 to 1.8

That's fine with me.

All I ask for is some help/advice in how maybe other mods in general BUT the ORIGINAL in special works and can get changed/modded.

And if you say, that Crossfire is so far advanced and developed away from the original, that what you CAN advice would not work - OK !
I already got the messages: [SIZE=3]DON'T TOUCH CROSSFIRE ![/SIZE] . Especially not, when I'm in danger getting tarred and fetherd, if I do so.
