what about changing the levels?do they have ant mods that can change the levels?

To the person(s) who wants the MANUAL: EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT MODDING FREELANCER...
Unfortunately there has been a publishing delay..... its not available yet...
My sources say the author(s) are currently working diligently and should be done sometime soon...
In the mean time... the Authors have made available (at NO COST) most of the pre-final edition compilation in the form of pre-hard copy TUTORIALS...
LUCKILY, These tutorials have been placed mostly in the same area...
located -----> http://lancersreactor.com/t/forum/forum ... er+Editing

and here for the FreeLancer Mod Manager...

I know, this seems quite fortunate... and I don't know how long the authors will leave this material here for practically anyone to obtain... so read them and save them on your computer... I can only guess that once the publisher makes the hard copy form that they will charge an exhorbitant price for all this free material.

for RubberEagle.....

I have some interesting to learn, which mods are now possible only on server-side.....

I think you should ask that in a new thread, and everyone, not me, as i've about given up scripting the FL engine. I'm currently only engaged in a purely design position in the Babylon 5 TC.

OK,as a newbie, just HOW do you extract the 3d model? what software is needed. does a tutorial come with it. Is it just making changes to an existing ship type file? what? help! details please!

Juni's got back!

What exactly do you want to do?

So basically, until someone finds the sdk for freelancer...
there is no way I can change travelling speeds in the trade lanes...

I tought I saw several mod's out there with new weapon effects..

Doesn't it say here that it's impossible to create new weapon effects?

What you saw were old weapons effects modded to give different colours. There are hundreds of weapons in FL, but you cannot make new flame effects, etc - just edit old ones..............so in effect, you can make new effects, but not GENUINE real effects, they are old ones fiddled with a bit

That's good enough for me....Is there a tutorial out there for effects modding?

I didn't notic e it in the n00b section...

there is one i think in tut forum... better yet experiment on it....

look at the effects folder and learn how to edit those .ale files

Confused, confused, confused

Icon, first of all, you have rebirthed a 5 1/2 month old topic. second of all, dont even think of touching the .exe or giving people clues how to. that is copywritten material by microsoft and if you are caught modding it they will sue the pants off of you. read the sticky posts before posting in the forums.

Sorry, your post was an advertisment - and also encouragement in teaching how to hack. We cannot allow that sort of post here I am affraid - although we would dearly love to see more things able, we cannot condone that sort of behaviour. After all - this is a fan site, and not an illegal hacking tutorial site. Like Parabolix says - its the untouchable!

Is Docking procedure, goto, waypoint, autopilot, etc.; part of the source code?
