I've been dying to play this mod for years, but only recently switch from a Mac I ran Freelancer on in Crossover and couldn't run Crossfire to a PC that can actually do it. Buuuut, I can't activate the mod. Looked everywhere on this forum and elsewhere for solutions, but can find none. Any help? The error itself is a single character changer of the file city_maneuvertab1.cmp to _city_maneuvertab1.cmp with the only change being the underscore at the front. All of these .cmp files lack the unders…

It is installed there with that exact directory name. The crossfire mod appears in the mod list on FLMM and I have the option to activate it. But when I do, it gets near the end, stops, and then this error appears.

How can I make sure I have permission? I already start FLMM as an admin because it won't open otherwise. Do I need to tag the entire directory? If so, how do I do that?

It does. That's why I listed the file name. I've looked at the file. It is there, it just doesn't have that underscore for whatever reason that it wants it to have.

Unless you mean in the flmm mod outside of the mods folder?

It does not. The one in the Crossfire folder is city_maneuvertab1cf1 and the one in the Freelancer folder is city_maneuvertab1 and neither has that underscore. If it's a permissions problem, how do I solve it? I'm the only profile on the computer, and I'm already running FLMM in admin. Do I need to do something to the Freelancer directory, or the crossfire directory, or both in order to have write permissions? Also, I appreciate the help!

So it still isn't working unfortunately. I've deleted the Freelancer folder, and the mod manager, and the crossfire mod, and reinstalled them all. Both flmm and freelancer in just in drive D: and not below any other directories. I made sure the mod manager was connected to the right directory, put crossfire inside the mods folder. Went to permissions for both flmm and freelancer and changed permissions to add full control (Both already had write permissions though) and yet, still no cigar. Exac…

Gonna be honest Marek, I have no idea what your instructions are Delete everything using CCleaner and install using a mod script as well as placing crossfire in the flmm mods directory?

I cannot at all I can't activate the mod. That's the problem.

I don't understand your instructions. Can you clarify them in bullet points maybe? Talk to me like I am the stupidest brick you've never met

Well as wise as that advice is, it is unfortunately unhelpful since I have already installed all programs (Freelancer, FLMM, and Crossfire) appropriately and they still are not working. Unless you know for certain that the issues I'm describing are because of an incorrect installation.

Guys I don't know what to tell you. I've followed the instructions for installation 3 times now, and I'm still getting the same error message. How about we start earlier. The very first problem I had is that I have to open FLMM as an admin. If I don't, I got the warning "Unable to access/creat 'HKLM\Software\Freelancer Mod Manager'! Possibly you're on a limited NT account that doesn't have permission to access HKLM?" Mine is the only account on this computer, and to the best of my knowledge sho…

I'm using FLMM 2.0 downloaded from here The Starport - A Freelancer Game Fansite :: Downloads and I'm on Windows 10 64bit, version 1709, OS Build 16299.611

Got it. I'll check out 1.31 then. Also rest assured that I was not touching my computer while CF installed. I've been reading forum posts for the last week trying to solve this issue, so I read the part where it can just hang because it's so big. I'll update after work if it works or not.

Everything seems to work now. Glad it was such a simple fix. Grappling with resolution stuff now, but I've seen some other threads here, so I can probably figure it out on my own. Thanks for the help all!
