CF 1.62 install

Install Freelancer
Install Freelancer Mod Manager
Install Crossfire Mod 1.62, it will need a path into the directory of Mod Manager, NOT into the mod directory of FLMM, only into the main directory.
After installing the mod you should see it on the mod list in FLMM, activate....play...have fun

PS: I had a problem, that after installing of CF mod, it was not detected by the FLMM, had to download it again...

The thing I almost missed was to shut down FLMM after 1.62 installs; otherwise, FLMM won't display the mod...

As soon as FLMM restarts, the mod is there, waiting to be activated!

Please help me. Got a problem with installing 1.62

I downloaded it twice - to be sure - but when I doubleclick CFsetup Crossfire Mod 1.62 SWAT-PORTAL this message follows....

NSIS ERROR
the installer you are trying to use is corrupted or incomplete. This could be the result of a damaged disk, a failed download or a virus.

You may want to contact the author of this installer toobtain a new copy.

It may be possible to skip this check using the /NCRC command line switch (NOT RECOMMENDED).

I put a copy of "CFsetup Crossfire Mod 1.62 SWAT-PORTAL" into the main directory of "freelancer mod manager", but when I start FLMM, it cannot find 1.62

What can I do?

i have a problem where the download goes fine, the installation goes well; but when i try to activate it, one specific file keeps screwing up and ruining the whle dam thing. i've downloaded it several times, and reinstalled it several times as well. The same result every time.

cool thnxx for the help

I don´t know what the problem was. After downloading it a third time, it seems to work now. Just installing.

Thanks and cu there

Tried it again, and heres what I got:

3784 files restored and 0 directories deleted
Error: problem activating 'Crossfire Mod 1.62 Client Edition'
Error: SHCopyFile failed ('D:\Program Files\Data\Missions\M01B\m01b_11.thn.flmmbak' to 'D:\Program Files\Data\Missions\M01B\m01b_11.thn')
--------------------
'Crossfire Mod 1.62 Client Edition' succesfully loaded
Reading mod script...
Parsing mod script...
Found mod: D:\Freelancer Mod Manager\mods\Crossfire1.62
--------------------

anyone know anything about this file or what might be causing it to create this error? OP?

my oh my....

seems we have kind of a problem there.

My error reads:

[SIZE=3]
3711 files restored and 0 directories deleted
Error: problem activating 'Crossfire Mod 1.62 Client Edition'
Error: SHCopyFile failed ('D:\Spiele\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\DLLS\BIN\content.dll.flmmbak' to 'D:\Spiele\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\DLLS\BIN\flmmbakspcontent.dll') [/SIZE]
What am I supposed to do now?
I hope I don´t have to delete Freelancer completely for a complete new install with new ID and so on? Afraid, that all my online-ships maybe gone then?

Hi, SandsoftimeIII,

I did a re-install of freelancer. And after that, the mod works out just fine. Maybe you should try the same.

P.S. : with selecting "re-install" all your online-ships and servers are still there

WHOOOAAAA! Blood Hunter.....Riddicks head will hardly fit into his helmet now....... Any more compliments and it will NEVER fit.

On a more serious note, I had absolutly no problem with the new installer of OP's. It put everything just where I needed it and then worked fine. Guess I'm lucky?

@Blood Hunter, you dont need to copy and past anything anywhere, at least I didnt...only installed, and activated, but if it works this way, ok
There could be a small chance, that your way could cause trouble or lag, I dont know, if it is so, OP will take care of this, or better to say of you

About your errors, no idea... Im not that good...

Always happy to help.... even if pipl who know me dont believe that [13] [9]

Have fun
See you in space

@ Belphegor and Sands Of Time: You will need to completely wipe and re-install FL to fix that problem every time it occurs (ie every time you de-activate CF....)

I can also confirm that I am getting issues with activating the mod via FLMM

I have tried all different versions of crossfire
I have tried all different versions of FLMM from 1.2 to 1.3 and 1.31 and also the betas

but all failed.

I finally resorted doing a "reinstall" of freelancer and it WORKED.

These are the steps I followed:

- Deleted the Crossfire1.62 folder in "mods" folder inside FLMM directory
- Put in Freelancer CD (or mount CD image if you are a pirate :P)
- CD auto runs...
- Click "Add/Remove"
- Select "Reinstall"
- It does its thing.............
- Re-ran the Crossfire 1.62 installer and extracted into the root of the FLMM directory (not the "mods" folder)
- Ran FLMM (Crossfire got detected)
- Clicked activate
- DONE!

It works now!!

I hope this might help someone...

and don't worry, doing a "reinstall" will NOT reset your online ID so you won't lose any characters on other servers!

thats why i 100 times said "clean installation of fl and flmm 1.31)

yeah, you need CLEAN installation of everything

and about those ERROR's: well, CF isnt compatible with FLMM and you will get some errors almost every time you activate the mod. you get many erorrs when you d4eactivate the mod ALSO

but dont look on that.

install everything from clean and that means: DELETE everything what has something to do with freelancer: the game, FLMM, FL Explorer, and all other tools and whatever you are using for cheating (if you are). ONLY thing you need to keep is the MOD (but have it under different folder saved)

and after you deleted everything, instal everything all over again

it wil take you 10-20 min of your time, but its the ONLY way to play this game.
and THAT'S IT

when i read my old post i`m feeling ashamed
