quick question

hello im new to these forums(browse around them alot though) but im not that new to ini editing (well you could say im starting to understand more and more )

im doing server side mods mainly and wanted to know with the mod...um how to explain it...well the one when the NPC drop cargo pods and you sell them at bases,well is that server side because when on LAN my other computer crashes


My other comp is able to get into the server but when the char launches to space well it crashes

Sounds like your talking about the Freelancer: Evolutions Mod version 1.27 by Chips


If this is the Mod your using you might want to activate the Mod on both computers. Sounds like your trying to run the Mod only on one computer (the server) and you need the Mod to be installed on all computers that will be connecting to that server, Lan or connecting to a server online...

Thats not exactly what i meant, but i will try that mod

i meant i edited the ini files myself for the escape pods set where to sell it and all the other stuff i forgot, and the other comp should be working
but its crashing even after i reinstalled it

The only thing I can think of is that you made a mistake or two in the editing.
Go back over the files that you edited and look for a mistake.

that is a serverside mod. although u can change it on urside if u go into and unpatched server and it wont crash, but it wont work. if you do it on serverside then it will work. give me the section you chnaged so i may take alook at it and try and help you to fix it

um...ok i edited Select_equip.ini file and added


[Commodity
nickname = commodity_pirates
ids_name = 261821
ids_info = 66655
units_per_container = 1
pod_appearance = cargopod_green
loot_appearance = lootcrate_green
decay_per_second = 0
volume = 10
hit_pts = 250

then i opened the goods ini file and added

[Good
nickname = commodity_pirates
equipment = commodity_pirates
msg_id_prefix = gcs_gen_commodity_boron
category = commodity
price = 750
combinable = true
good_sell_price = 1
bad_buy_price = 1
bad_sell_price = 0.1
good_buy_price = 0.1
shop_archetype = Equipment\models\commodities\nn_icons\cwire_rawmats_1.3db
item_icon = equipment\models\commodities\nn_icons\INV_escapepod.3db
jump_dist = 5hemicals.3db
jump_dist = 55
