NP, thank you.

Oh, I mean, in Single Player.

My bad, I forgot to mention this.

So, I ended up in #, where the shielded Styx Nomad Base is located.
I am white to the Nomads, the Base is white to me, but I fail to get in there.

I'd like to enter and see what stuff they have there.

After 2 hours of trying, I have had it...

Hence I came here.

Thank you.

Oh drats.
Any other map system?

I was not thinking of doing it during campaign, Sir.
Thank you for the info.

What is the name of this "centerpoint" up-right in the galaxy-map?
I see a billion worm holes clogging together there, but I see no name to it in DataStorm?

Sir, I had no other saves.
Each de-install, I had all data removed.
That includes the additional data (under My Games, the Freelancer folder entirely).

Can one enter the added systems in Campaign/SP?

Start, as mentioned before.

Game tells me to launch to meet this King fella for the first mission (Donau pre-mission and the hauler escort mission).

Well, it's finally working, just finished the Kill Base mission.

YAY!!! XD

Meesa happy.

Thank you Sir.

It IS bizarre, I grant you that, for sure.

Honestly, I thought for a moment that my SP saves were stored on the server, like the MP saves.
It could have been like this.
And that could have explained my issues, the online SP file damaged in some way.

I'll AGAIN de-install the game, remove anything, clean the register, coldboot, and reinstall the whole once more.

Thank you for helping out here, Sir, you have no idea how much I appreciate the effort.

On a completely different note, but still mod related: is there a ship list somewhere, with specs?
I'd like to get me a decent, good looking shippie once i can afford it.
That is, if they finally let me go from New York.
I feel so caged up... (that is, when I finally get to get ingame).

It is, and I tried...
Game tells me to launch to meet this King fella for the first mission (Donau pre-mission and the hauler escort mission).

I launch.
But no King, no mission follow-up, nada?

Damned, I was looking forward to this mod in SP, so much

This so called open SP, is this a Single Player mission run where others can join in?
Like a shared mission type game option?

No sir, I did not...
Not even a clue what this open SP is?

I'm stunned by this.

Aside, isn't the normal "end level" not like 30 or something, much higher than 18 at least?

So, I have it installed again, it seems to work, but...
I deleted everything save (logical, as I did a de-install), begin game, and I see myself land, with the message "you became level 18".
No intro, no anything, no matter what I try.

Any idea what it can be?

I believe someone's uploaded a save game from the "after the Hovis race" point.

Besides, I saw MF showing a video of acing that race in a Clydesdale and I also remember completing it in a Basilisk with my nonexistant pilot skills.

How on Battleship Missouri did you manage that?

No, that just crashes the game launcher...

Easy mode will do the thing, sure of it.

Travelling 25 meters downward and hitting concrete is not that healthy...

There is one thing that worries me... that race with that Brettonian fella...
I'll never get through that one.

Just cancel the daily updates(about 40 files or so) and your edited files will remain, however be advised that your economy will remain the same, meaning that your prices will remain the same forever instead of changing everyday. I also recomend not changing your shields because by making it stronger all enemies that use that shield will also be stronger, its better if you simply make it so that your enemies are spawned without nano/shield-bots until you get used to the improved AI at the game(I will admit i used to do that at the beggining), also check the battle tutorials, you might learn a few usefull tricks. Also this is more realistic than vanilla freelancer, in here is not good to take on more than 4 enemies(that are as strong or well equiped as you) by yourself, the good thing about this is that your allies are not useless like they used to be.

So, just for information, one can cancel these updates?
IF I were to, how would I proceed?

Just for information's sake....

Thank you Sir.
I was already told about this.

Xogroroth-666 Use "Options->Choose a different Freelancer Directory" in FLMM if you reinstalled FL elsewhere.

You can also change difficulty manually. Open My Documents/My Games/Freelancer/PerfOptions.ini, find a parameter called DIFFICULTY_SCALE (default 1.00). This is (apparently) a coefficient of damage dealt to player.

Will do in 21 hours.
Comprehensive Diskscan does a 24 hour scan run O_O
Thank you Sir.

D:\Freelancer, Sir,
It worked before, then I turned the slider to Easy and... it closed once launching the ship to space.
Ever since I could not start the game again.

Removed it again, I did a complete manual clean of the register, hopefully this might help me a wee.

Quite darned bizarre...

Removed it once more, trying different location: D:\FL...
Keep you posted.

So, FLMM does not activate the mod, because D:\Freelancer\EXE\Freelancer.INI does not exist.
Logical, as the game was removed, then the whole register was cleaned, even manually.
Game, though in the same drive, installed to D:\FL now, still refers to this non-existing folder.

I'm baffled.

I am not a PC noob, usually i get my stuff fixed fast, but this is... just weird...

Running enhanced diskscan...

Peculiar: when I turned it to easy, the game collapsed to desktop.

Restarting game gave a Copy error, which I was not able to bypass.
Retrying, the error became unable to connect, pressing Single Player resulted again to Unable to Copy.

I am removing the whole game, and I am reinstalling it as we speak.
Will keep you posted...

And again I run the ERROR LAUNCHER UPDATE [E000001AB]

Followed by ERROR COPY [E0000046]

Suggestions?

Thank you Sir!

The thing is... we can give support to players with the original files. Once files have been edited we are no longer able to give support since we dont know what exactly has been changed. Therefore we are not giving any advices how to change the mod in any way... singleplayer or multiplayer.

Once you edit stuff.... e.g. shields... and then all of a sudden the singleplayer storyline breaks because you have edited a shield that also is used by NPCs and which is supposed to have exactly that value we have set it to (in order to trigger an event at some point) .... then the whole singleplayer campaign might stop working correctly.

Based on what are we supposed to give proper support to you in this case? Based on your values or based on what we know to be the right values?

I understand, Sir.

Thank you for your assist!

OH?
Where can i find this, sir?

With all due respect, sir, I am not going online.
I have read the agreement, I am not in any way going to publish, share, or make it available to others.
As stated, sir, I play single player.
I have an issue with my hand-eye coordination, and for this, i edited shields to be slightly stronger, to compensate for my delayed reaction time.

I do not believe there is any harm in this, sir, I just would like to play this nice mod, and survive a bit longer...
