I was wondering if there is a place where i can get all, or at least some, of the INI references. For example, which ini tells freelancer to open up the intro THN file? Or some kind of database showing the numerous cross-references that freelancer does.

I'm attempting to strip Freelancer down to its bare minimum, but instead of doing it the easy way (by just taking out the files), which anyone can do, i'm looking to eliminate the source - references. Someone, possibly Argh, suggested this, but no one seems to have done it, and i'm bored to tears, so what else should i do?

And i might as well mention, while playing around, i found that if you take away the story management portion of the content.dll, the game just plops you right into the FP7 system. Wouldn't that work as an OpenSP provided you replaced the FP7 system with some other system? Or are there unforseen problems that i am blatently ignoring? What i thought was nice about this take is that it seemingly skips the entire intro sequence, and plops you into a system, without ever having you dock somewhere .

Granted its a painfully obvious solution, so there are most likely some very good reasons NOT to do this, but i thought i might as well throw it out there.

NOTE: I would search the forums, but "INI references" comes up with 5 gajillion threads.
