help my tractor beam works no more!

Sun Mar 18, 2007 11:31 pm by tsakali

up peeps, I just got this game about a week ago from a bargain bin and it blew me away. What a great idea of a game.

I finished exploring the default system, and I was looking for my next fix so I tried discovery freelancer. Unfortunately I straight up unzipped the mod right into the game's main directory and it started overriding things left and right.

I love how it looked like it worked seamlessly with my saved game, but I have come to find out that alot of the things are messed up.

Most importantly my tractor beam doesn't work anymore. I understand that was a modification done for the mod intentionally
MY qUESTION IS: how to I get my tractor beam functionality back? I'm not afraid of some editing, if it was as simple as changing a few script lines here and there.
any help on this would be greatly appreciated
from a new fan,
Tsakali

Most mods are designed to be installed with the mod manager. By doing it this way, instead of using the FLMM, you've likely broken your install of Freelancer. The only option I see is to completely uninstall the game and then reinstall it. Your saved games SHOULD be intact, but if you find you are crashing to desktop when you try to play then go to my documents/games/freelancer/ delete this folder.
!!WARNING!!
Save your MP ID before you do that or you will lose any characters you have on multiplayer servers you may have used.

For the tractor beam - i think that there may be something wrong with your savegame. I suggest you to start a new game and use FLMM for your mods..
