  • Hudshift with 1.82

    Hi
    I finally got Hudshift to work on 1440x900 with the Hud nicely back in the corners of the screen where they should be...This is what I did:
    1.Clean install of Freelancer and FLMM 1.31 and then Crossfire 1.82.1 activated.
    2.Download to an empty folder and unzip the latest version of Hudshift version 2.11
    3.Put Hudshift.dll in Microsoft Games\Freelancer\DLLS\BIN.
    4.Open Freelancer.ini found in Microsoft Games\Freelancer\EXE and at the end of the [Initial SP DLLs] section add this line DLL = HudShift.dll
    5.Put Hudshift.ini in Microsoft Games\Freelancer\DATA\INTERFACE
    6.Open Hudshift.ini and edit the first two lines to look like this
    [HUDShift] (I removed the ; before the word Hudshift)
    Horizontal = auto
    7.Go to Microsoft Games\Freelancer\DATA\Cameras.ini and set all fovx values to =0
    Run the game, it works for 1440x900 and my understanding is that it should adjust itself to your native desktop resolution.
    Cheers

  • Hudshift with 1.82

    OP
    If you're lost on such topics then I dont hold out much hope for me,I would like to test this stuff
    but I dont know where to start,which files to alter etc.
    The Mod looks much better at 1440x900,it really enhances it.Shame I cant get the HUD to the
    corners,I will carry on testing hudshift.
    Thanks

  • Hudshift with 1.82

    Hi All
    Can anyone tell me if Hudshift will work with Crossfire 1.82,I've got it running on 1440x900
    but the HUD is about a third of the way in from the screen edges..any way to shift it to the
    corners using Hudshift.dll,Iv'e followed instructions from various places but to no avail
    maybe it just wont work on Crossfire?
    Thanks in anticipation

  • Weth

    Hi
    I feel like Reibens is right the inner core aliens have been changed or something's happened,they don't drop as near as many guns as they used to either.

  • nvidia driver black bars

    Hi all
    I recently downloaded a new nvidia driver 270.51 and Crossfire suddenly has two black bars,at the top and bottom of the screen.
    It used to fill my 19"lcd monitor screen and I haven't touched options in Crossfire now it looks squashed by these two mysterious
    black bars,other games are as they were before and don't seem affected its only Crossfire.
    Is/has anyone else had this problem with a new nvidia driver? recently its a shame cos Crossfire looks even better
    with the new driver but its squashed so I s'pose I'll have to do a roll back driver to play using the whole screen again.
    Any ideas?

  • What is the point ?

    Hi Again
    Many Thanks to all of you for your encouragement and info and especially SA_Forlon, you have given me hope:
    "Maybe it come useful: In systems where you know that NPCs spawn right behind JH (as Weth) never come in enemies in your back (escaping by jump) - lure them away or kill. Not doing so, you have much bigger chance to be spawn-kill by NPCs. Second: start use your mouse wheel and thrust key (usual TAB) repeatebly before!! you have 'ship control' and the same with bots/bats. This tricks saved my skin many, many times. Sure it is not 100% quarantee, but it works".
    That as I remember is exactly what happened to me,just before I jumped to Weth there were 4 Savage Heavy Fighters bearing down on me and the jump hole saved me (or so I thought!)
    now I understand why I was destroyed,they followed me to Weth and I was spawn-killed by them instantly when I arrived in Weth so really it was my fault for not luring them away
    or killing them before I jumped. I honestly didn't think that they followed you through the jump-hole so I relaxed thinking I'd made it and as soon as I appeared in Weth Boom!.
    I will try again and hopefully this time I'll make it.I thought I knew Crossfire by now but it still has surprises, which for me makes it an even better mod than I already thought it was and
    without this forum I would have stopped playing,so many thanks to you all, see you in space.

  • What is the point ?

    Hi Ryleous
    Thank you for your reply and concern,I appreciate that the Inner Core is the most hostile place in Crossfire with Extremely aggressive aliens and no safe haven until Weth but I have been
    across there before and lived to tell the tale in Sirius (admittedly in single player,when there were no more challenges in Sirius I practically lived there) but this time round I'm in multiplayer
    and yes the aliens are even harder but in my new Redemption ship I killed at least 8 aliens and gathered a couple of very handy alien guns and made it through into the Weth system,it was
    only then that the instant I appeared in Weth I was blown to bits before I could engage free flight or even move....see I am good enough to get through the Inner Core solo I did it!,don't
    think I'm not grateful for your offer of a wingman but I gotta do this alone cos I know I can.
    Maybe I'll try again I don't know...I'm more tempted to wait for 1.9 an see what that's like cos there's nothing left in Sirius or Altair that I cant kill an just making money gets
    boring,the Inner Core is certainly a step up that's why its a pity there's no place to dock there...there should be.
    Perhaps we'll bump into each other in the future in 1.9,( I'm particularly looking forward to new quests and missions I'll certainly check those out)but for now Thanks for all your
    help,you and everybody else on this forum.

  • What is the point ?

    Hi
    I've just negotiated my way to Weth in the Inner Core I'm on friendly terms with the Dom'Kavash,through many battles with IC aliens,picked up some guns,all going well then I get to the Weth jumpgate dock with it materialize in Weth and before I can get into free-flight I get blown to bits by an NPC lose all I've gained and dumped back in bloody Omega 3.
    What is the point of going to the Inner Core at all if when you reach a safe haven and are friendly with the system owners (the Dom'Kavash) and you die the game puts you back to Sirius (Omega 3) and not your last jumpgate,will this be the same in Crossfire 1.9? cos if it is I wont be bothering with this mod anymore which is a shame cos I enjoyed the rest of it and the game
    will have lost a player.I'm sorry to have to say this is a Major offputting factor in multiplayer to going any further and after being encouraged to leave single player I can only say how very dissapointed I am.
    Bye Bye
