    Bump
    Seems like all i can do except for using debs and pissing everyone off so that they would post in that thread :P

  • Uncertainty... RL/CF? Is there a difference?

    Personally I believe that I could have fun without insulting anyone.
    Lets just look at it the civilized way.
    There are people here who say they do not want to be insulted by anyone, especially not if
    that person is out of the reach of their fists.
    And there are some people who think that insulting is some basic aspect of the RP.
    But shouldnt it be possible to know your opponent good enough to know how far you can go?
    I mean this community is not that large and most have been playing here for years.


    Also, you can call a pirate a one eyed bastard, which I would consider a RP based insult. But
    calling someone a retard or asshole takes it all to a whole new level. I would aviod that.
    Insult a certain faction if you feel like you have to but just dont insult someone as a person.


    Anyway insults always make me think of immature kiddies playing CounterStrike :D
    Because in how far are you better if all you do different is claiming that it is all RP.


    Instead of using the well known phrases like pirate scum or rats just be creative.

  • SinglePlayer Data Disc Question

    I think someone mixxed something up then. The disks gain importance with the story but think of the one you got as a reward for a sidequest. The real story starts in Nephele where some ancient sleepership has appeared.
    You will find many more disks if you play the story which is a good because most players here have missed it. You are right with how to read them. So...
    Good luck

    This is it with Debilitator Effects. I also made some Screenshot:


  • CTD

    Well just use some random effect then. If you want ill look up the ID for the class 7 Debilitators
    But before I spend another hour would you tell me if you would integrate it anyway? I dont wanna do that when every answer I get will look like your last one.

  • CTD

    I could fix it in SP.
    Here is the ini i edited:

    I changed this



    to this


    What I did is just using everything except for the stats and the ID from the Tizona. That means everything looks like a Tizona (ugly projectile) but it seems to work.
    Maybe this could be tested by someone or just insert it with the launcher or something.

  • CTD

    I think ill mess around with the inis in SP. The Weapons ID is 263495 in case anyone else needs that. MAybe changing the effects will be enough. I was thinking that because in vanilla Freelancer it uses a different effect.

  • CTD

    Yes all of the crashes happen exactly when the ship explodes, but only if you had Debs mounted.
    Also in the past other people tried the debs, but it seems like wrangler proofs im not paranoid.

  • CTD

    Would screenshots turn this rumor into a fact? All I would have to do is participating a couple of TDMs or Top Guns and ask everyone to to tell me after they crashed. If you would believe me it would be easier of course.

  • What's dockraping?

    Very right Slyer. The term was created in vanilla Freelancer.
    Now i vote for closing this thread, as there are plenty of answers and this thread might develop into a discussion that is far from Lucys question.

  • CTD

    Well it only happens when you kill with this gun. so if youd remove this gun there is no problem anymore, right? Leaves us with the lack of a potent shield killing gun of course.
    But creating a new one would solve everything even if nobody understands the bug itself.
    Thats how i thought

  • What's dockraping?

    When your opponent has to undock more often than you he will complain your dockraping.
    But honestly if you dont waait at the ring to be behind your opponent and if you let him do a
    first move everyone should be happy.

  • CTD

    They cause crashes for some people. The problem is wierd but this thread shows that im not the only victim of that bug :P.
    So what happens is when you kill a NPC/Player with the Debs mounted and activated 2 problems occur:
    Nr. 1 is mentioned by wrangler in this thread. The shooter has a crash to desktop
    Nr. 2 is random people in the same system have a crash to desktop


    The method to solve nr1 is to turn down the general details (the bar that moves all other bars)
    Funny enough you can max everything else again, just make sure this one bar is low.


    Other peoples crashes however can not be solved. There is no pattern as far as i know, because it happens only to like 50% of the players.


    Maybe giving the weapon another model and another projectile would help, maybe you could just copy the stats of the Tizona, which works, rename it to "blacks fav. weapon" and give them a slightly more poweful shield killing effect and a high projectile speed :)


    Its propably not as simple but it would be cool if youd fix it for 1.8 or something. Thx

  • CTD

    Nah I need a Gun with less power drain when I am using a guns only setup.
    But more important the projectile speed is closer to the ppcs, which made this weapon a very good choice.

  • CTD

    Do you use Debillitators (thats the name of a weapon in case you dont)?
    Sounds familiar to me. For me changing to different weapon types "helped".
    No crashes anymore but aiming is harder now.

  • Game resolution

    Ok you need to undock once after you started the game. Best thing to do is undock, make a sreenshot while in space, then dock. If the camera still is at a wrong angle, you better check the camera ini again.


    But normally you should be fine after undocking
