Ignore last post. All now working.

Only issue is Ioncross doesn't feature the crossfire addons, but hey..

I'll work on it

Cheers,

Well, one problem fixed.

OpenSP now working after another reinstall in a different directory. Sorted.

However, despite installing VB runtime files, Ioncross still refuses to load the save, despite finding it, without the comdlg32.ocx message..

Sigh..

A new development.

Tried running both character editors in Admin mode (windows 7, pehh..)

Simple one still freezes, Ioncross finds my save, but when loading it i get this:

Runtime error 339: comdlg32.ocx or one of its dependencies missing/invalid.

Problems, upon problems..

I know, it seems such a simple program, but yeah, I find the Savegamexxxx file, load it and it just stops responding.

Every time I start a SP game, I get the Freeport 7 cutscene and have to wait it out to save, too..

I hate to say it, but it ain't working on my installation. Same happens after a complete reinstall.

And surely if people want these options for SP, they are wanted?

I know I'm not the only one.

Any thoughts on the savegame editor? Ioncross simply doesn't find my saves, and Simple Editor hangs when loading the saves.

Arg.

Cheers for the quick reply,

However...

I've tried both the Ioncross Character Editor, which searches for savegames, finds none, and sits there looking useless.

And also the Simple Save Editor, which hangs as soon as I load a savegame.

Also, whenever I select OpenSP when activating the mod, I still get the storyline, I know this is an issue a few people are dealing with, but haven't found a solution as yet..

Any more ideas/suggestions why the save editors aren't working?

Hi all,

As a complete noob on this forum, I was hoping you'd do me the kindness of helping me out.

I've played Freelancer since it came out, and happily rediscovered it a month or two ago, since when I've been playing Discovery mod, and enjoying it immensely.

I would dearly like to now move onto Crossfire, but there are a couple of things I just can't work out/things that I'd like to be able to do.

1. Is there any way of completely disabling the storyline, so you just begin, with all gates unlocked, on New York, and can go from there?
2. " " " " of altering starting credits?
3. " " " " of altering starting system, if there is no story.

Most of you will recognise these are all starting options on Discovery Mod, which make the game a whole lot more fun in my eyes, and as it's all Single Player, the only person I'm cheating is myself, and I'm fine with that

Due to the changes in difficulty, working my way through until I have the finances available to go ship-shopping somewhere far and exotic would take longer than I have available to play the game.

The only other way I could work round this is finding a 'completed' SP savegame, but I can't manage to find one, ANYWHERE.

PLEASE, PLEASE give an old Freelancer his wings back, and help us out.

Look forward to hearing from you,

B
