Try HardCMP, you'll find it in the downloads.

**shuffles of with a new headache**

Figured I'd post some links for modelers here seeing as the new Milkshape has been released.

I'm not sure what you're looking for but there is a trade route calculator that works.
Check out the Trade Route Calculator version 2.0.13.4 by Joghthyrn and see if that helps.

I am needing some help with getting the display names associated with nicknames for a new mod and the gamedata files. I already have the hashcodes and nicknames but now I need to genereate an output that I can import into excel like what FLStat does on the screen. It shows the nicknames and the Display names, but I can not find a way to copy the columns in FLStat. It just allows one item at a time and we have thousands of nicknames to get the display names for.

Any help would be welcome.

And big thanks to the makers of Gamedata Exporter and NicknameListGen! You have saved me tons of work. I just need this last piece of the puzzle to finish.

I hate milkshape. It is a newsence. Are there any programs that can replace it or are there cmp + mat (maybe sur) exporters for 3DS Max 7. If so thanks. Could you send it to [email protected]

Thanks

I fight than fail. Then fight then get closer. Then fight again the get it!

im totaly unsatisfied with most tools ... espacaily the basic tools like exporter for cmp,mat and the worst situation wis with sur files ... is there nothing about these elemental things for getting new stuff into fl? an imperial stardestroyer without a propper sur simply sucks ... its so big that can fly throug pats of the ship or ram it without anyintension to do so ... i have seen proper surs for new ships ... completly made from scratch and not a stretched fl standard sur but noone wrote anything about how to make such stuff ...

Try the SUR file Splicing utility version 1.0 by Dev
This sur splicer is a command-line utility that splices together a bunch of .sur files produced by the .sur exporter for Milkshape 3d, resulting in a multi-surface .sur that can then be used with a multi-component .cmp file. This allows for excellent approximation of a ship's hull using many simple pieces.

Hi,
I am Max Immelmann from Berlin Freelancer Server.

I’d like to introduce a tool we made to you. It’s a freelancer direct connection tool showing multiple server’s minibanners linking to their homepages and including their IPs to the freelancer.exe start command, so that those servers always are listed in your freelancer/multiplayer, no matter if the global server list is online or not. It’s got auto-update and a tiny admin-control-panel where the admins of the servers using flsdct can edit their settings like banner-url, homepage-url, server-IP, mod-download-url and so on included. If you like, to, take a look at it, 3 download links are available:

There are already several servers represented in flsdct, but I’d like to make it available to all freelancer servers and players. There will be no judging who may come in and who not. It’s for all freelancers.
I’d link to show your minibanner in that tool too, for example replacing the text in the tool’s windows center and moving that to “credits” in the readme-window, and to introduce flsdct to your forum’s community, but I don’t know where it would be best to post it. So do you agree, and if yes, can you help me with that?

Greetings, max.

P.S.: Just if you like to take a look at that, here’s the tools readme (it’s included in flsdct, anyway.):

The idea behind FLSDCT:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The idea behind FLSDCT is quite simple. As of 2008 the global server list of freelancer will be shut down, we decided to create an alternative solution. This solution should be more powerful than the old global server list. In the old global server list you would have to write down manually any URL leading to a server's homepage. And what you could put in for additional information about your server was limited.
FLSDCT gives direct links to the homepages of all servers taking part, and if you launch freelancer by FLSDCT, you can connect to all those servers directly, no matter if global serverlist is online or not. FLSDCT shows the minibanners of all those servers and also shows if those servers require a client-side mod or if there is an optional client-side mod by an additional icon. The icon showing this can be used as a direct link to the mod-download. Another icon shows if there is RPG at that server.
FLSDCT also has an admin-control-panel included, allowing admins of all servers taking part to edit all information about their server like IP, URL, mod-url and so on by themselves. Those changes take effect on FLSDCT for everyone using it as they are saved to a web-server, where FLSDCT gets it's information from.

How to use FLSDCT:
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
Download and when necessary unpack it, you can put it wherever you want, it will work. Click the FLSDCT-Icon to start it.
You can click the minibanners shown in the FLSDCT-window to get to the homepages of the servers. Each minibanner has two additional icons, showing if the server is modded or if it is a rpg (role playing game) server. If the server is modded and it's administration decided to add that, you can click the mod/optional mod-icon to download the mod you need for that server.
At the bottom of the window there is a button "Freelancer - Server Direct Connection". If you click that, FLSDCT will launch freelancer and you will be able to connect to any server included, no matter if global server list is online or not. The servers will show up at multiplayer aswell as at LAN.
If you are an admin of a server taking part, you can enter the control-panel of FLSDCT by hitting "edit" at the bottom right, selecting your server and entering your password.

How does it work?
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
FLSDCT.exe is a simple executable connecting to several webspaces (if one fails another is tried), to gather information and keep it's content up-to-date, opening the FLSDCT-window, and starting freelancer.exe adding the IPs of the server to it's start-command to make them accessable when globalserverlist is down.

How to join:
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
All servers that got a fixed IP or an URL (like available for example at dyndns), a homepage and a minibanner (88x31) can join.

¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
Contact us at http://www.freelancer-foren.de/ or email me at [email protected] telling us:

- Your Server's URL or IPort. (Like 89.106.68.120:2303)
- Your Servers minibanner (88x31).
- Your server's Homepage. (Like www.freelancer-foren.de)
- How to contact you. (For example icq, msn or email)

We'll include that info (except your contact-info) to FLSDCT and give you access to administrate the information about your server included to FLSDCT by yourself.

You'll have to include this banner to your homepage (just to link to the FLSDCT-download):

<a href="http://www.freelancer-foren.de/havenadmins/download/FLSDCT.rar">

¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
I also recommend you to join the freelancer-admin-community at http://talonstrike.co.uk/HavenAdmin/index.php, where the development of FLSDCT started.

Have Fun!

Max Immelmann & Martin Guttmann.

We can bomb the world to piaces, but we can't bomb it into peace.
