You need have referenced the dll file that FLE created for you in the freelancer.ini, here is an example of where and what:
Example: Normal Freelancer ini resources entry
[Resources
DLL = InfoCards.dll ; Contains all infocard text resources
DLL = MiscText.dll ; Contains other bulk text resource: rumor, offer, and mission text
DLL = NameResources.dll ; Contains names of things, primarily.
DLL = EquipResources.dll ;Contains names of equipment (in string table) and infocards for equipment (in HTML resources)
DLL = OfferBribeResources.dll ; Contains random mission offers and bribes
DLL = MiscTextInfo2.dll ;Contains MP UI elements as well as other misc. text
Example: The line you should add is in bold. Note that it should match the name of the dll file FLE made (in your mod folder) .
[Resources
DLL = InfoCards.dll ; Contains all infocard text resources

DLL = NameResources.dll ; Contains names of things, primarily.

DLL = OfferBribeResources.dll ; Contains random mission offers and bribes
DLL = MiscTextInfo2.dll ;Contains MP UI elements as well as other misc. text
DLL = my_mod.dll
- I strongly suggest you make an EXE folder in your mod folder, then put the new dll in that folder along with Freelancer.ini that you have just made!!
Also - if you want to add a comment about your dll - you may. Just make sure anything you add has a ; (semi colon) infront of it so that the game won't try to read it!
example:
DLL = my_mod.dll
;My own little dll containing all the info stuff made by FLE
Thats it. If after that you still don't see names, FLE has a tendancy of when you re-edit a system you made, to either for some reason delete your info or something. I think it makes another dll file that overwrites the old one it made, with numbers running from yours and upwards.........or something remarkably stupid like that anyways. Basically - make your system in one go, or learn how to mod by hand!
