New modder, basic help :p

Mon Oct 27, 2003 1:14 am by ScOpEH

A few days ago i looked into here and have decided to have a go at some modding. I've done modding before, but nothing like the freelancer system. Could anyone suggest where i can get a basic guide, explaining methods, certain info areas, etc? I've been looking at gamefaws.com but thats above what im looking for.

Im trying to add a new thruster, i think i have everything i need for use with FLMM. In the xml script it is appending to st_equip.ini . I need to know how to generate, and what are things such as the ids name and ids info. I have no idea what they are :/ If someone would point me in the right direction it would begreatly appreciated.

heh, ok cheers thats helped a lot

The script is ready, buti have searched and cant find a solution to my problem. With FLMM, in the mods dir i have my mod folder, and in there script.xml. However, when i start FLMM up i get a popup saying

Unable to load mod!
Error: this mod is empty; activating it would do nothing!
Reading mod script...
Parsing mod script...
Found mod: C:\Program Files\Freelancer Mod Manager\mods\CR_Thrusters

However, i have a script.xml file in there that has quite a bit of txt in with the right commands

Below is what i have in the script.xml file just incase im being silly:

<script>
<header name="Corsair Thrusters" savesafe="true">

ids_name and ids_info relates to the strings and xml info cards stored in the dll files for naming objects.
