    hi i recently decided to get back into freelancer, and i decided to install crossfire. I had some issues with getting the mod set up but i got those sorted out. I was playing for a while under the name 'Archangel' however i had a slight issue with the game and put simply, i have been forced to reinstall it. I wont bore you with the details. I noted my multiplayer id code so that i could keep the characters but for some reason that i aint sure about it wouldnt accept that code, i was wondering if this character could be deleted so that i could restart it. To be honest i quite liked the character name and would like to keep it as it is (could say was i suppose). If you cant or wont then i suppose its understandable, but if you can it would be hugely appreciated.

    You need to update the "myflaccountid" in 2 locations when running CF, because there are 2 levels of exe files, one for FL itself, and one further down the search string in the /mods/cf/exe directory. When this second location is found, you will see that it is blank, unless you had already given up on that character, and created a new one.


    To restore your old character, find the "myflaccountid" file in the CF/exe folder, open it with a text editor (like notepad) and fill in the blank field with your old FL account ID number. To check if the number was entered correctly, just double-click the app icon, ant it will pop up a window listing the FL account ID submitted by the mod launcher to the server. Good flying!
