  • Hello, i just finished Crossfire, it was very nice and awesome job you guys do. Thought, its pretty hard on averanje dif., on the last missions i was stuck whit the VHF wherewolf since the beggining, and on some missions dont have other choice but put god mode to pass next missions, its impossible at least for me when you have 8 nomads on your tail who never left it or change formations to have 2-3 enemy ship in every direction, making almost impossible to doge, also the CD from nomads and DOM'"" are insane to doge even whit the adv.countermeasures, and the crazy enemy ship unatural insta-turn.


    Now i want to try out WTS World CNN, whit -afther a bit search- its dead, problem 1, no SP, well, it work a bit but it CTD here, there and now. I download version 4.17 from this web, and afther a litte more search found the version 4.20, i manage to get runnin flserver afther download a zip file named "Content-0C458F.dll" and "Content-0C458F.cpp" who the server was missing for run FL modded whit WTS World, i like to have a bit help if possible or a hit or two to where to search for make this work to at least play in lan mode whiout have a crash every time i set a waypoint to manhantan planet or every time i exit a tradelane. i like if posible to make it run whit SP campaing on Lan server or whit no missions, just to play and test configs or explore. OR add all ships and equipment from WTS World to crossfire. But like i said before, whit begin able to conect to my lan server, who works but on version 1.0 and WTS is 4.20 so it dont connect, i be happy. Also I sorry for post here, like i said WTS is dead, no forum, no server, no web... and since I registered here a few days ago to add my grap. card to the game for improve/fix graphics issues, dont know where to post or who to ask for help. Thanks in advance.

  • Just finished reading all messages on here: Crossfire LAN server


    ALL 70th OF THEM, Lmao, i like this one becomes frienlier, also i forget on merge whit crossfire, I have a litte exp. whit minecraft servers, and those are "easy" because of Java and the "Drop & play basically", well, not 100%true, have to edit configs, add tools mods ect ect ect ect looooootttssss of testing. I will be happy if it just run basically whit WTS. Any constructive tip/tips is/are welcome. thanks for your time.

  • Whatever answer I can give is potentially wrong since FL mods are very custom made and in MANY cases not compatible with another.

    It is not as simple as copy/paste a few files. Files are interconnected. Mods have different settings and structures and in some cases even very unique stuff that makes them 100% incompatible with other mods.

    Everything transfered from one mod to another requires adjustments. e.g. ships almost never have the same layout of hardpoints.

    Everything transfered also requires manual integration into the mods settings, starting with inclusion of the general ship settings, setting up default equipment, market files, effects, etc.

    All of that requires knowledge about the mods and their differences.



    The crashes you describe sound pretty strange. Since the system does not instantly crash when being loaded my assumption would be that it is a NPC spawn error. Many old mods have such because... well... there are not that many people that really understand how this part of modding really works.

    The Content-0C458F.dll can in theory suppress a NPC related crash but I dont know if that is the same cause as you experience in manhattan. Only error logs would show if this is the same crash offset.

    However, you can add the file by putting it into the dll folder of FL and then refering to it in the freelancer.ini unter the "initial MP dlls" section.

    Maybe it will help, maybe it won't.

  • Thanks OP for answering, I was hoping the very same issue you told me in your post, so basically its going to be a big head pain, all this crashed append in versions 4.17 and 4.20, in 4-20 its worts because you dont start on mahanttan and the game CTD when you dock even on a trade lane, you may or may not pass 1 or 2 tradelanes and then pufff, on 4-17 got campaing screwed afther saving a research station from rehynald military assault, afther that, ctd if you try to fly to california minor or when undock from the rescued research station, but weel, that didont matters for now, the file Content-0C458F.dll i downloaded i just unpack it on DLL folder and then the Flserver.exe begins to work instead Ctd afther several second, i noticed this afther switching to console view in flserver.exe. Well, now i going whit the good news, i was blessed by all lucky goddnes on the universe, and i still dont belive it, but afther some hours searching on google, whit very old and litte sites abd by changing a bit the search query, i got WTS 4-16 server pack files, and afther the 3rd and last site matching my query, a working instace, the first 2 where corrupted and cannot unpack, the sited was 1/3 english 2/3 russian, whit i dont understod a single word, but the files are ok, enable me to SP play and mount a Lan server, well, need 1st to make a virtual machine to run the server, FL didont like to connect on the same machine hoting the server, but whatever, whit all of this, i think, 1 of my 1st post is fixed, mount a basic wts working what lets you play, the mergin option, whiele still begin complicated, whit those files i suppouse it could be now done, at least for SP campaing. Right now in a few days i not going too be hable to connect because RL issues, but i like to give it a try to merging or try to fix version 4-20, i dunno, this things time to time are fun for me instead of playing, i m not a programer or coder, but sometimes its fun triying to understood/learn how stuff works. Can i have permision to do a litte project to mergin both? at least the content, ships equipment ect, i need to know what tools i need to get 1st, also whould you like to have me upoad the wts 4-16 server pack files or post a link whit the file so you people got acces to it to add to your download page if you wish, of course. Well this post its getting very long XD. I be back when i can. Thanks for the reply, will try out the edit you tell me in freelancer.ini on both cases if applicable, MP and SP and see if fix anithing or have to get dirt my hands in a IDE or notepad+.

  • merge what?

    CF and WTS?

    What for?


    Ive never given such permissions nor will I start with that due to many reasons. And taking WTS content and putting it into something else also would violated certain terms of use.

  • Ok, no problem, wts is dead and trying to contac/search the creators whould be like smash the head agains a wall, what leaves all to your aproval, and its a clear no.


    Could you tell me whats tools do i need to fix or triying to update the server files for they work whit the final version, pls? i just finished all 13 missions but cant explore the whole galaxy because of some "ramdon jumpholes" dont work, leaving me stuck in that system until i load a previus save, and that sucks if i dont have extra care before explore.


    thank you OP for you time.
