Afew Questions

Hi, I have been playing freelancer for a while now, completed it and now looking to add more. I have done afew modifacations to my ship, edited things for sale (you know the basics) just one questions, as I cant find the answer in here. Is there away in Singleplayer to unlock all jumpgates, I know you can do it with afew server mods, but do they work in single player. Also the server mods that are available (like the babylon5) if I run them, then play without connecting to the net, do the mods still work. Will I be able to play single player in a babylon 5 type universe? I hope you know what i mean by that, basically I would like to put the white star / tie fighters into the game world easly. I am also going to add more jump holes to various sectors, so its easy to navigate around the map. Anything I do i will gladly post on here.... but to be honest I feel alot of you modders are far beyond me....... for now atleast!! ; )

From my experience, if you add a ship and make it purchasable in a specific location then it will be available there in both multi and single player games. I've made 2 ships myself and simply added them to Manhatten. I started my testing of those ships using multiplayer (hosting my own server) and then, by a fluke, I ended up in single player and the ships were available there for purchase too. As long as it isn't a Server-Only ship mod you should be able to use it, although I'm not sure how you would add a ship to your Freelancer that is only available on a specific server. Not to say it can't be done.

Thanks, what I think I will do next is I have the white star mod, I will try to intergrate that into the single player game, all the information for createing a new ship is on here (i think) so i will have a play with that. Also I have read there are afew battleship mods about, there are pictures on this site, are they server mods, or can you intergrate those into the single player game. Thanks!! I really do think this forum rocks..... very helpfull.... very informative....Thanks!!

I don't think anything about Freelancer is server-only. The servers run off the same ini files as the single player game, it just runs off those files on the server's HDD.

The thing with adding ships is, if you connect to a server that doesn't have it, you get booted, and the server may crash. If you connect to a server that has a ship that you don't have, and you see that ship, the same probably happens. New ships have to be both server and client side. Otherwise, one program doesn't know what to do when it encounters ship references it doesn't have.
