Lies, damn lies and ship mods!

Come on guys - when are you gonna admit it? These things just don't work. Hmm... buy the Jedi Fighter from Junyo? Okaaaaay. So I install the mod with FLMM v1.1 and..... feck all happens.

Lies. All lies. When will anyone learn?

If I understand correctly, you are having trouble with a mod and rather than email the author you decided to jump up on a soap-box and proclaim that all mods are lies and the whole modding thing is a huge conspiracy to dupe you into making your copy of Freelancer unplayable?

Interesting.

So it probably wouldn't do any good for anyone here to say the mod was working for them since they would obviously then be part of the consiracy and simply trying to dupe you further.

I would suggest the following to see if you can get it to work. First, install a fresh copy of Freelancer to ensure all of your files are correct. Second, extract the ship data files to the directories indicated (that would be under \data\ships\<path> with the last being particular to the mod). Finally, I would open the .XML file included in the mod file and make the changes to the .ini files manually. Don't forget to uncompress the .ini first (and make a backup).

If that doesn't result in happiness, I suggest a more polite request for specific assistance here.

Truth Warrior;

- If you are using a mod that was made for FLMM try this....if you wanna.

Go to My Documents and find the My Games folder, it should be there somewhere. *Warning* This "fix" will erase any "progress" you have in the game.
Erase all your saved games, then reactivate the mod, and it should work. Unfortunately the game seems to have a problem starting if you saved your game when a mod is active, and don't have it activated when trying to play again...

~anyhow, just "food" for thought

Believe it or not the people that make these mods work very hard on them. It takes hundreds of hours to create a quality mod. They don't have to release them, they do it so that everyone can have more fun playing a game that was never finished. I know because I modded freelancer and many others. I have stopped working on the mod I planned for freelancer and it is huge. We play it on our home network, but after all the grief I've gotten answering questions which by the way takes more time I dont think you deserve to be able to enjoy all the hours I put into it. If you install a mod the best advice I can give you is start a new game because if the mod has equipment that is not original it will crash when you load a saved game. It's easy to open your big mouth when the people your directing your anger on are not standing in frount of you, any baby can do that. I on the other hand can back up what I say but out of the 200 questions that I have answered so far not once did I say any negative remark about the people that need help or want to learn how to get started modding there own games. If you dont like what I am telling you and want to do something about it I would be happy to give you my address and you can come over and tell me to my face. Be advised though I am not a kid. I spent two years as a Marine Corps sniper during the Viet Nam war and have enough experience under my belt dealing with people that do not play well with others.
