I figured I'd try out Crossfire, it being one of the better mods.
Unfortunately, it has been a nightmare.
I finally got the game to work, followed the tutorial and re-installed freelancer and the mod, got it all working.
I activate it, and there's all the different options. I didn't know what any of the things looked like, since there was no preview, so I figured I'd just see what they look like in-game, and change them whenever.
Turns out there was nothing in-game to change the colors of HUD, cursors, and such, so I figured I'd disable the mod, and re-enable it with the configurations that I wanted.
Mod wouldn't disable, tried a few times, still didn't work.
So, I deleted freelancer, tried to disable the mod, still didn't work. Reinstalled freelancer, still didn't work. Reinstalled freelancer, deleted the mod, re-installed the mod, and when it was put back into the mod manager, it was already "activated", even though it actually wasn't. I still couldn't deactivate it, because there were no files to change, it wasn't active. How can I activate it again if it won't deactivate the damn thing?
EDIT: Before I got any replies, I did a little more thinking. Reinstalled the mod manager, and then the mod was deactivated.
However, now I can't seem to get it to activate properly... *Sigh*... Going to reinstall freelancer AGAIN...
Edit: Reinstalled freelancer, tried again, still can't activate it...
I'm going to delete everything, install everything again, it's gonna take forever, but oh well...
Should have edited this post sooner, but I was busy playing the mod. I got it working a few hours ago on my own.
