A bug that wipes all the files off your PC? Sound like

a) a virus
b) you're lying

Have you got any screens of your 'monster mod'? Sorry to sound so negative, but there's been precious little evidence. Also, all caps does NOT encourage people to read your thread.

A virus? hmmmmmmmmmmmmm................mabye your right.
i think you are. well there will be no screenshots because i have been in contact wit lots of game programmers and they say that i may have to redo the whole thing! wait.............i got an email that had a virius attached on this list of websites or someting! Hotmail told me saying either to sign up for a virius cleaning ting or uninstall windows and reinstall it. thats probly wot went wrong!
ive got a virius ting jus i never used it (came free wit pc) hmmmmmmmmm
i will use that and find out wot happens in the tests again.

adois, ciao, avoir, asta luego and bye!

Pizza Pete - take this from anyone elses prospective......so please bear with me.


Stranger turns up, claims to have made a mod that will revolutionise the gameplay aspect. Hasn't mentioned the fact he made new stations models, how he got around surs or anything else, doesn't post anything to prove its existance.

Next - asks for beta testers who he has to email for mod. Then posts on forum claiming that a bug will wipe their PC if they download it. However, why not email them? You have their email addresses, and email to them would be a far faster method of alerting them to this major flaw! Like Accushot said, sounds like a virus.



Now - I know you don't see a problem, but now think of this.........

I have made the ultimate mod. Juni is naked, you can now walk around and interact on planet surfaces, and also fly around in atmospheres. I have made hundreds of new systems and implemented a storyline that you can control more by having decisions as to what to do. Its great, but i may/may not release it.....will let you all know.

Does that sound real? okay - that is more adventorous than yours is, but you get the idea Pete - poeple are going to be sceptical until they see some form of proof that you aren't simply making things up on the spot!

Chips if you think i never emailed the beta testers then you must be stupid! no offence. They got the mod but told me of the bug, i dont jus test it on my pc it needs tested on more than just one! Lets c station models?????? hmmmmmmmmm......i think there are some hanging around in the game!
There are some ones that i have altered to make them different and all you need to do to bypass the sur files is go into the games main console reroute the code and there u go! I did most of this using code so it is easier to do things! Anyway the mod has got a hefty problem, the email i got contained a virius that is going through my pc like wildfire so ive had to back up every one of the mods files twice! once on the pc then i divided the mod up into small files and stored them on floppy disks. Also i will give u all screenshots soon mabye nxt week at easter
and also there are other freelancer sites than this one so if you aint heard of me doesnt mean other people havent! If u announce a mod too soon then people will be buggin u to find out when it ready and all that! the beta will be out as soon as i transfer all my data over to me laptop. so that will be mabye......after easter around 2 weeks from now. So if you want to test it dont email me plz! not while im trying to get rid of a virius. I will tell you all when (if) i will give this mod to this site! Most of the people here are very scepticle so.........just have some faith or trust or whatever! well adois, ciao, asta luego, avoir and bye.

Well, the reason i can be this sceptical is simple. You say you are using modified bases from the game?

1) They are hollow - so flying through the walls etc will not make the so called copy of X2 flying into docking bays etc. So for starters the ol alarm kicked in initially.

2) The models simply aren't big enough to accomodate that either - trying this out would have proved this problem to you.

3) Seeing as you have successfully hacked the SUR file problem, I am amazed that you didn't realise you were infected with a virus.

Now, i suggest we just leave this til we see a result about it. I will wait in line with everyone else until we see something.

elaborate more please, how exactly did you "reroute" the code? if you can explain in a reproducable format what you did with the sur's I think that would give you some clemency around here Don't and I think you'll just have more disbeleivers.

Yep, the "bs alarm" just went off in my head again.

1. IF you have cracked the SUR files, which half the people on this forum have been trying to do for quite a while now, what have you done with them? If you've bypassed them, then surely you can just fly straight through stations? Or perhaps you've modified them so you can fly around inside, even though the stations contain nothing but empty space and many are barely big enough to fit a ship in.

2. I've done a lot of programming, and I don't see how you developed a program and turned it into code. Nor can I imagine how you added it to the Freelancer code without hacking the EXE or producing DLL's to run alongside it.

3. Which brings me to my final point, which is that IF you have done all you say you have and made it work, as a modder you cannot edit the EXE. So you couldn't release it anyway.

think if you dock what happens? all the bars etc could not fit into a station so i jus developed (big word) a small little program wit the help of sum people and turned it into code and placed it in the freelancer script code. And i aint gunna tell you alll how i bypassed the sur files or you all would be making mods like dis!
And my one would be no exception! So if you really want the mod jus have some faith!

Sorry, your comebacks scream more holes than a tea bag.

The bars and other things use the base.ini file specification. This is a semi "scene" with a few trigger lines to go to other screens. It is simply not true that you have made it so that when you dock you get taken to another screen first, which then allows you to free roam fly about it.

Next - freelancer script code - what are you talking about? Do you mean thn scripts? you have no control there, you cannot fly a ship in a thn file, which shows lack of research before your claims.

Now you can argue about how its real, you have done it etc, but seeing as everyone is incredibly sceptical of your claims....i think its fair to say that rather than posting about it, might as well wait until you produce it.....
When it does arrive and does what you claim, then you can rub our noses in it

uhh... ya, the bs alarm is going off now

Really, the BS flag was raised for me when he said he hacked the .SUR files and wouldn't tell anybody how. It was also rasied when he said we could "explore" the station, kind of sounds like you would have to edit something in the .exe to add a new stage to a satalite

Not quite sarcasm, but the closest I could find

"There are 10 kinds of people in this world: those who understand binary and those who don't"

With a name like pizza pete you should deliver the goods..


And if you don't..

Do you send this mod out of your hotmail account? And how big is it maybe I wanna test it?
