Using changed ini files

Mon Mar 03, 2003 11:03 pm by jfitz261

I've used the extract program to make some changes to the ini files. How do you get the program to use the changed files?

Thanks,
John

You have to start a new game. Saved games will be unaffected.

not true for demo.. all my changes are seen in my save.
i've got the 1mil mod for higher lvl2
flying a dagger with 2 class 9 guns and a class 10 shield with 100 nano/shield bots and a cargo hold of 1000

the most common problem is that ppl change the {filename}.ini.txt file but don't replace the actual ini file with the edited text one.
(example using st_equip.ini)
1. drag file onto the decompressor to create st_equip.ini.txt
2. edit the crap out of the st_equip.ini.txt file

3. rename st_equip.ini to st_equip.ini.old (or whatever suits you, just rename it)
4. rename st_equip.ini.txt to st_equip.ini
5. play to your hacking heart's content

...Just a random thought from a random mind

Where can I get this .ini extractor?

There are only 10 kinds of people in the world:
those who understand binary, and those who don't.

I believe you can get it to use custom ini's by editiding the FreeLancer - game configuration file: "freelancer.ini" its not even encrypted IIRC. If you scroll down about 60% you´ll see the settings. So theres probably no need to even *touch* the original files. You can most likely in theory anyway =), Set up a file structure like this for your mod:

Data\MyMod\Equipment
Data\Mymod\Ships

example in Freelancer.ini:

equipment = \MyMod\equipment\light_equip.ini
ships = \MyMod\ships\shiparch.ini
goods = \MyMod\equipment\goods.ini
