Crossfire 2.0

Thanks NucNuc, i'll try my best to get the server running stable. Today some players had to bear a lot of restarts - i was trying something here and there. But they were not tired to login again. Thanks for the people who support it and dont get frustrated to login every now and then after i had to restart the server. Meanwhile the server runs stable with the majorities of plugins enabled. Although not all are active. Meanwhile the server runs for more than 4 hours so without any restart. Seems i could find some bugs and solve them. Please dont stop to report them in the bugtracker. There i can keep track of the problems and work on them step by step.

So now to your questions:

Quote from NucNuc

Is it possible to set this "calculator" different for tax/find on the one side and "normal" PvP on the other ?
Otherwise things like "training PvP" for clans or sometimes occurring battles (police<>pirate, maybe ASF<>CSF)
as well as participating in some events would become for many players almost impossible.

There is currently only one parameter to define if the balance should be taken into account or not. If we deativate this then its also deactivated for the PVP. However we have an additional parameter to calculate the PVP amount that is transferred. If we deactivate this then the players will get all an equal value - which is not different for all players - means lower ranked players have an disadvantage over old and rich players. Please make an suggestion on the bugtracker again. When there is time i take care of that.
Incorrect. There is an additional parameter already available for this. We can try to deactivate that completely. Then the amount is solely calculated by the ranks of the players. We can try that out.

Other question : how do I pay fine/tax, if I don't want to fight ?
How can I see the amount I have to pay ? Has it to be done via usual "trading" ?
Or is there a command to use as easy as the fining/taxing procedure ?

Ever tried the help command?
I tried to comment each command and put a help text into the game. The tax/fine can be send if you either type the name of your opponent or just select the player and type /tax or /fine. Additional if you dont want to fight and just withdraw that money from your account then just type /yes. If i am not totally mistaken this is also plotted once you receive the message about being fined or taxed.
If you just select a player and /tax or /fine him then the ammount of money is automatically calculated. But you can add a sum if you wish, so /tax 100000 for example.

WELL..I,m done end all i can say is ..Amazing!
The storyline end spatially the ending was heartbreaking end greatly written end honestly waiting for 10 years to get that ending makes wort a while .Awesome job OP,Huor end everyone in the team! This is the best Freelancer MOD by Far . You guys should be proud of that !

There aint no rest for the wicked i guess

Think I've found a bug to where you go to equipment dealers and they don't deal. It just zooms out and no window or anything when you click the dealer.... first found the bug on Pittsburg

Had this issue myself once or twice visiting different location OR re-docking fixes it for me at least may help other(s) with similar problem

that worked, thanks.

Sorry, but theirs an issue with the enb presets or it's the launcher because when I launch the game with Sweet_FX enb, it will crash back to desktop. I know it's not the hardware in my pc because some games I play have an ENB added. Just saying it crashes when I launch with it enabled. Thanks.

@kaboth - pls open a Bugtracker tkt with this info. Tks!

OK I get it. Presumably as of this date 11/10/14, at no time does the 4 line instruction for the FL 2.0 activation work and it seems you folks may be aware of it. The activation always fails, regardless of PC (laptop or tower) all Windows 7 based. I think others may have a better experience. But for me, there is no crossfire that works, i.e. 1.9 or 2.0. I posted a more verbose rendition in the bug listing. The activation always times out and the error always tries to write one file (C:\Program Files (X86)\ Freelancer Mod Manager\Mods Freelancer 2 - Crossfire\EXE\multiverse.dl2) TO (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\EXE\Multiverse.dll). SHCopyFile failed to complete this task though I don't understand how or why it would work anyway. I removed Read Only from all relevant directories to no effect. Completely removed (after a number of hours) every instance of Freelancer, Freelancer Mod, Freelancer Mod Manager and tried again with no change.

You guys have gone way out of your way to provide a respectable and beautiful mod that should have been embraced by Microsoft - Crossfire 1.9. The quality for non-Microsoft full-time programming staff was nothing less (in my humble view) than spectacular. I tremendously enjoyed years of error-free play of this add-on. Right now, 1.9 does not work and I can't get 2.0 to install on any of my 4 computers. I have every reason to believe you folks will get it right and let us know when to try again. For now, I can only hope. Indeed, Freelancer Crossfire was a large part of my spare time. I know I'm asking for selfish reasons, but I hope you folks can get this thing working again in the same professional manner you did 1.9 originally. Thanks

Do you have NET frameworks install in your PC ? IF not you need 3.5 +
Do you have original Freelancer disk ?
1.7,8,9,2.0 all works fine in windows 7 so it must be your freelancer game _ not the mod

defender33: SHScopy error issue can have only 2 reasons: 1st is copy protection and second is corrupted file (failed mod installation). There are not any other reasons. Have you please followed guide posted in FAQ? (second line).

Quote from SWAT_OP-R8R

The crossfire installer is set to request adminstrator permissions during the installation process (for win xp... windows vista, windows 7 and windows 8 ).
The installer then installes the fonts under admin mode (this was tested on all mentioned OS).
The installer also disabled the creation of write protections of files during the flmm activation.
And the installer is supposed to disable the visual desktop components to allow the intro movie to play without black screen.

All these functions are clearly covered by the installer... running in admin mode by default.

People that have problems with the stuff above must have something on their pc that prevents the installer to do its job. This can be UAC... firewalls... antivir tools or any other security tool which takes over windows functions.
There is not much we can do about that... its something on the client pc... something we couldnt under no circumstances expect to happen.

I installed CF more times on two PC (win 7 64bit) and never experienced issue with shs copy. Please check file sizes for your setup file and freelancer folder, they should be similar (Crossfire 2.0 )

My turn, probably doing something wrong. I'm trying out the singleplayer version. Installed ok, i've talked to Juni, got my starflier, ready to meet King in space, pressed launch and.... nothing happens. My Starflier won't move. Any tips?

***** EDIT *****
Looks like the launch icon is de-activated for some reason

Just tried in multiplayer as well, can't launch from Manhattan, other players on the server so it must be something my end, baffled

Ship rolling activated? Have had this in the past and my ship couldnt turn or move either until i deactivated it.
Hm havent heard about that the launch icon is deactivated... Eventually something went wrong during installation. But i am not so sure.

Gibbon: just tried new start to be rly sure and all works here. There may be security trigger not allow you launch until you do not visit bar and equipment room. But after talks you should normaly takeoff like I just tried. Have you some old save in save-folder?
