MSensei''s MP Mod with detailed explanations (server side on
Hope someone finds this information useful. I will also keep it updated on the forum of my server's website msensei.com/freelancer/ or http://www.msensei.com/freelancer/forum ... c.php?t=66 and of course I will keep reading here.
If someone who has more information is interested in helping me fillout this document I would be most grateful. This information was painstakingly obtained I hope this saves some people some hastles. Once again these are my notes not a tutorial (but damb close).
------------------------------------------
I use a command line executable to decompress bini.exe
I took a long time away from playing and testing to write this all down, so don’t whine.
data/initialworld.ini
DOES SYNC
seems to sync and shows what gates are locked and such 3/15
ok so i unlocked all the gates (does not perminantly unlock the gates? 3/17)
this file DEFINATELY sets up the "reputation" parameters for the factions
DOES SYNC 3/16/2003 3:07PM
data/ships/loadouts.ini
DOES SYNC
controls all ship information 3/6
Modified police in NY - = li_p_li_fighter_loadout01
li = liberty p=police li=light
NEED: complete map of ships probably have to be done systematically by giving each ship in the list a different number of countermeasures or something like that to give each a “signature” some of these are quite cryptic
Modified Kusari police = ku_p_ku_fighter_loadout01
Modified all NPC Shields to regenerate. Replaced all NPC shield instances with something like shield01_mark01_lf, a player shield.
Player starter ship can be modified: nickname = MP_ge_fighter
cargo = commodity_alien_organisms, 20 this works
loadouts_util.ini
DOES SYNC
transports 3/6 mod 3/12
all ships : equip = armor_scale_7 3/6
attempt to add shields failed
was able to update many transports weapons still wish to do more upgrades
was able to modify transports to have battleship turrets (no I’m not kidding it looks funny as hell) so anything is possible.
Noted that not all possibilities are available. Has to match the hardpoint.
loadouts_special.ini
is for battleships and stuff 3/6
DATA/solar/loadouts.ini
DOES SYNC
controls all the generic object information (trading_outpost, or neutron_star) 3/13 3/16
EXE/mpnewchrarcter.fl
DOES SYNC
controls initial $, alliances, systems available on universe map 3/14
Your alliances update 'as you go' so if this changes and you run into a new race then whatever it is set to at that time will be your alliance regardless of when you started.
