    Hey ChiefRedCloud,


    I'm not a brand of Biscuits


    :)


    Sounds like you got the idea, and the sequence.


    You might want to stay


    away from those Nomards 'till your guns getter bigger.


    See you out


    there....

    Dear ChiefRedCloud,


    Good news, you will not have


    to start again, your chars should work fine with the mod, both in SP and MP.


    See you


    out there,

  • TO EVERYONE IN CF

    Dear Gunny,


    I have done exactly as you suggested:


    I have un installed 1.54


    within flmm
    I have confirmed that not old files are in my flmm folder
    I have removed


    all saved games from my \Documents\My Games\Freelancer\Accts\Singleplayer folder
    I


    have downloaded ne copies of 1.53 and the 1.54 upgrade
    I have installed same.


    It


    might be helpful if people did a quick post saying "I have a clean install". So that we can


    see progress.


    I will be on the IRC channel - #SWAT-portal of se.quakenet.org, if


    anyone needs help.


    If you need help with IRC, post a quick note, and I will post


    instructions.


    If you need help with posting, you should be in bed by now


    :)

    Could not agree more Centaurian.


    Made it


    difficult to know if the jump hole you entered, led to a minefield, or you'd been


    "lagged".


    I rushed my first attempt at mapping, which made it useless. With my second


    map, I zoomed in to each cluster of jump holes and mapped position, ignoring color.




    I checked every jump hole in the system. Long winded perhaps, but helped when lag


    killed me.


    I could now get in and out, in about 10 minutes.


    My only comfort


    while spending nearly 4 hours in there, was a mental image of OP's frustration at designing


    and de-bugging it.


    Cruelty comes so easy to us all.

  • Crossfire 1.54

    Dear ChiefRedCloud,


    If you are having problems using


    your software, eg FL and Acrobat, it could be one of 2 problems.


    Either your user


    profile is damaged (common) or


    Your Registry is. (Also common).


    Set up a new


    user on your system, and try logging in as it, if your able to use Acrobat and FL -


    solution.


    If not, then your registry is probably the problem, in which case you may


    have to think about reinstalling your Operating System.


    If your system was working


    until recently, try to do a system restore from a recent stable date. Might


    work.


    Hope this helps!

  • need to hack an account

    To Arvedui,


    Sorry if I am being pedantic, but does that


    allow you to reset the admin password as well?


    If so, very useful information, thank


    you for that.


    Geek Control Out!

  • need to hack an account

    To Arvedui:


    I read your post with interest,


    and I would like to know if you have tried your suggestion. I have not heard of that


    one!


    I came accross an article that seemed to describe what you were suggesting at


    http://security.itworld.com/4352/030218winxp/page_1.html


    But if I read it


    correctly, it only allows you access to the files of the system, not reset the password


    itself.


    I have used a package called L0phtCrack in the past for this problem, but I


    appear to have lost my copy of it.


    The tools on the web site I mentioned in my other


    post seem very good, and you can always ask again for help!


    Good


    luck!


    Remember kids don't try this at home!

  • need to hack an account

    If I read your post correctly, your friend cannot remember the Operating systems


    Administrator password. Therefore you cannot install software, change settings and the


    like.


    It is possible to reset the Administrators password, without re-installing the


    operating system.


    Have a look


    at:


    http://www.petri.co.il/forgot_administrator_password.htm


    Full


    instructions in English, and links to the tools to do it.


    If that does not work, or


    you damage something in the process, then as stated in an earlier post, boot from the


    install CD and format the drive from there, before re-installing the Operating


    system.


    If however you are locked out of the BIOS, that is a different problem with a


    different solution, just correct me if I am wrong :)


    Have Fun!!!

  • Faction Balancing In SP....

    To


    Darkstalker:


    Crossfire is a modification to the Freelancer file set. It does not


    replace the main program for the game, nor does it add any new ones.


    Crossfire does


    not communicate to the outside world, and therefore does not need to pass through the


    firewall. This is all handled for it by freelancer.exe.


    Freelancer uses the


    Directplay8 set of protocols to communicate first with the Global Catalogue server to obtain


    a list of servers hosting multiplayer games. It uses UDP on port 2300 to do this.




    Once you have selected the Multiplayer server you wish to connect to, another UDP


    connection is established with that server in the range 2300-2400 (but usually starting from


    2302). You need these ports, to allow each user to attach to the server and play (each


    player needs there own port).


    It therefore follows that your firewall must allow UDP


    traffic through ports 2300-2400, or you will not be able to communicate with the Global


    server, or connect to a hosting server.


    Please see the following articles for further

  • Faction Balancing In SP....

    Some questions for you!


    Have you double checked your firewall?


    Can you


    tell me what ports are open for FL?


    What firewall are you using?


    Have you


    installed any software since you last accessed an FL server?


    Are you getting any


    error messages when you boot your machine?


    Do you have ICQ or MSN or IRC software on


    your machine (in case we need to talk)?


    I may be being pig headed here, but I still


    think the problem lies with your firewall.


    Regards,
