opensp + flpatch1.1

hi !!

i have including opensp with my mod .. cause i`m pretty sure the storyline wont even work with all changes done ..

but i thought of including the official 1.1 patch too ..
did that, but then the game crashed after i hit "start new game"

i guess the conflict is with "content.dll" in DLLs/BIN, but maybe it`s something else ..

what are the changes that xerx made to the file, or does someone have the updated dll for opensp?

if anyone knows something please help !!

many thx,

RimShot

EDIT:
btw, i did move the save games of course

or am i missing something?

I've never used the patch, but have you checked the M13.ini file that comes with OpenSP?

thx for replying

yes i checked that m13.ini -it contains all the unlock triggers, set reputation and and money as well as start location, ship .. loadout ..

well, would there be something that makes a conflict?

my thought is rather content.dll cause the file is modified with both, opensp and the 1.1 patch ..

i thought maybe i can apply those changes opensp requires to the updated content.dll, but who knows?

or does anyone have 1.1 content.dll modified for opensp already?

btw i checked chips opensp cause it`s newer, but uses the old dll ..

many thx

Um... none of the major mods make use of the changed content.dll because of these issues. In short, you're out of luck... 1.1 was a total dead-end for FL

could you be somehow .. more concrete?
why is it so bad?

actually i heard/read that more and more mod makers tend to include 1.1 patch ..

i know only 2 reasons, no.1 is basic cheat detection -no.2 is bug fix for mp rankings ..

looks like i do not only have friends around here, thx anyways

I believe 1.1 patch limits armour values etc (as part of anti-cheat).

For your main question, yes the content.dll from the patch is killing your OpenSP. You have a choice - no patch 1.1 or use a hacked save game (see tutorials section for alternate opensp method) and load that to start a new opensp game

+++ out of cheese error - redo from start +++

hey Anton, i`ll have a look at that .. think i will leave it without 1.1
opensp is more important to me .. cause i know i`m gonna mess up the storyline

thx a lot mate!
