I didn't CTD when I launched from the Battleship Yukon in the California system. Frankly, I wish I could have gone that far! The game crashes whenever I try to dock at the Yukon, or it crashes when I load the game from the Yukon (I editted my save so that my location was on the Yukon). The mods I have activated are the Open SP Mod, the SP Addon Mod, and the Ion Thrusters Super mod. I have no idea what is causing it, and it appears that no one else has had this problem.

lol - it could be mod killa litus. If you have another mod running, as well as editing save game files, then it probs aint my mod at fault, but what you are doing to it! try without the others running, and then see if Youkon works okay?

I have a further two mods for testing if anyone wants to help out. I want to test them more thoroughly so that Baked Potato doesn't spend his weekend having to play and replay them if crashes are found. Now i have played both of them myself and found no probs - but i say that about the last two as well.

Anyone up for it?

One starts off before the story -you start with 1000boron in the hold. In fact there are 3 starts.

1. At freeport 7 with 1000 boron in the hold of your armored transport. (no docking probs at all!). Sell the boron, and check in with lonigan in the bar. He might give you a hint or two to make money.

2. Outside FP7 instead, in a starflier. Lonigan hasn't payed up, so you can land and pick up the armored transport for a small fee. At that point you can load it back up with the boron for yourself. Then you have to fly off with the boron and sell for some money. Check with Lonigan and the navy, they might tell you what to bring back if you like.

3. Start in Omega 3 with 1000 boron on board your armored transport. You can take your transport full of boron to the FP7 system for lonigan. When you sell up you will get that precious 1mil in credits that you should have got.

THESE ARE NOT STORY MODS.


The other one is the most abitious bit of scripting i have done, consiting of three system layouts to choose from, each being different. You can then choose where this systems jumpgate goes to (from 15 systems) and then choose the pirate factions. You get missions depending on factions at bases, as they all change. You meet different pirates as you change the system round, and different wrecks too!

Anyone want to try it out?

Anyone interested? lol

Hey Chip,

Sure I be interested in trying it out....

chips, you're ksgrinde@..... , right? if so I already replied , HELL YES i'd love to test for you via e-mail.

If I'm not here accepting the things I cannot change, I'm off somewhere ranting and raving about not being God.

lol - its [email protected].
Right will upload the mod to my site shortly and give you the addy later. That is as long as the site is up (the hosts were doing maintenance on it, so it was down)

erm - by the way - that means email me for the downloads addy. Especially as [email protected] sounds - well, kinda like a false un!

Oh sod it, if you want to try out the new mods - then go to my website. They are in the downloads forum.

All mods listed there are available - apart from Freelancer: Evolutions

That isn't available at the moment as i am still awaiting some feedback.

However, the others are there. Some might be more familiar than others (as they have been released) so there is no-point in downloading each one (saves my bandwidth too).

Basically if you have the three released here, then leave the Open SP, Story and Additions alone (they are identical to the ones on the front page here). The others are just:

Fly nomad ships - does exactly what it says on the tin - they are for sale round sirius

Fly all ships - does exactly the same - they are all available to fly.

Trent start - NEW mod that i need testing

Changing systesm optinos mod - NEW needs testing.

PLEASE GIVE ME FEEDBACK if you download them. Not just if you find a bug, but let me know what you think - do they need more detail or what?

Thankyou

Chips

*edit* - added site addy!

Here for Chips site

Chips, here is the complete editing guide for starting default ship in SP

1. the m01a.ini
2. the rtc_prop.ini
just look for the rtc_something_civ_fighter and change its shiparch entry it will cahnge the equipment rooms cutscene ship.
3. loadouts.ini
msn_player_loadouts
msn_player_loadouts_faux
edit this two to correspond to your ship of choice.

BTW those with the ge_fighter, msn_player_loadout, don't change the msn_player_loadout and the one with the faux, entry

4. and lasly the msn_playership in shiparch.ini
just change the contetnts of this entry and make sure that the nickname is stil msn_playership... This entry will change the trent meets king in outerspace cutscene ship.

Are you feeling lonely or just plain horny then Click Here!!! and you'll have lots of fun...

Fantastic - thanks a million. Well done, you are the first i think to manage this by the way, seeing as no-one else has achieved it. mind if i put this into one of the mods for selecting the starting ship at all? (that is if i can actually get it down correctly - hehe) Credits due of course

Edited by - Chips on 23-11-2003 21:22:09

yeah of course, glad to help, anyway i have the scripted mod here i'll send it to you for analysis.

All I do for LOVE

hehe - have scripted it too........lol - its now incorporated to change the SP starting ship in Evolutions to the starviper. Its VERY scary to be stood next to the nomad fighter though - it really really looks wierd close up - NOTHING like it does in space, quite 'grainy'. Might change it a little though, cos althoguh i have all 56 ships done, the larger ones are silly as Juni and Trent walk through them. You cannot also hear them speak - hehe

when is the evolution coming out... Did you include the bases i created in omicron alpha and gamma Just asking.

All I do for LOVE

lol - already got some extra bases in gamma and alpha am affraid, but soon dude soon! Am still bug hunting, although i think i mighta fixed them - which erm means erm WHoo Hooo!!
