This files seems to have a problem with it, the guys at http://www.planetirg.net/ have rereleased the file so if you get a problem with the error The central directory was not found in the archive ( or you were trying to open not the last disk of a multidisk archive) then you need to redownload the file from starfyre studios as lancers reactor so far only seem to have the corrupt version

You know, it pays to look before you post.

u MONKEY !!!

In the Nexus.
Trade lanes take you the wrong way.
Is there a fix for this.
When you try and leave Traders Paradise, and you try and dock with the trade lane, you dock and your ship turns around putting you right back where you started from.
Other then that, this is the best freaking mod I have seen.
Great job!

Also in the nexus, I seem to be having trouble accessing things at certain bases. e.g. If I try to goto the ship dealer, equip dealer, or anything else at Freeman's Base, I crash to desktop. Freelancer is still running, but I also see DXDIAG.EXE running in my processes list, chewing up 100MB of RAM and most of my CPU. I am fully patched with my Nvidia display driver (using a GeForce3 TI400) and DirectX 9.0B from Windows Update, along with every other update for WinXP SP1. I completely wiped Freelancer and FLMM, reinstalled Freelancer, reinstalled FLMM 1.2, reinstalled the mod to 1.55, then patched to 1.56B. Got past Mission 2, took a FEDEX to the Nexus, landed successfully on Freeman's, still crashes when I access anything and DXDIAG is running. I'm getting this at other bases in the Nexus as well. Any thoughts?

Hmm what version of FL are you running, as in language? Only thing I am aware in the enxus is that the feeeman tradelanes belong to the xenos which I will be fixing. I dont crash at freemans at all.

I'm running the base 1.0 version. Last I heard, the 1.1 version caused problems. And yes, it is the American English version. I followed your clean install of the mod instructions perfectly, but had the problem. Unlike your instructions, I uninstalled FL, then reinstalled and had the problem. I just deleted the FL directory and reinstalled as per your instructions, used my save game from before and it still happened. Gonna uninstall, delete all directories and saved games, reinstall everything, and try again from the beginning. It appears to be a DirectX issue, so using an old save game shouldn't be a problem (it was from the same version). The tradelanes were working fine for me as of the 1.56B patch, btw. I'll let you know if this resolves the issue.

Also Reynen,
Have you seen the problem where you can't buy anything at Trader's Paradise? It's owned by Universal Shipping, who I am friendly with, but I can't even buy commodities because it says I need to be on friendlier terms. Weird.

"Without Mods, this game is toast!"

OK. I completely wiped Freelancer, the mod and FLMM; directories, files and all. I reinstalled FL, rebooted, ran it once and setup my settings. Installed FLMM 1.2 (the link on your site to 1.2BETA is dead, so I installed 1.2 from Lancer's DL page. Hope this is correct). Installed TNG 1.55. Patched to 1.56B. Activated the mod and started a new game.

After I return Ashcroft for Mission 2, I have a ton of money, so I buy a FEDEX and goto the Nexus. The FEDEX is outfitted with the standard shield, thruster and equipment. I am using 5 Badariel lvl 3 turrets found in the wrecks in NY. I then fly with no loadout to the nexus. No problems until I land on Freeman's Base.

Lands fine, but when I click on any room, after it appears to be done loading the room, it crashes to desktop. the music is still playing and the application shows up in the taskbar, but freelancer.exe is gone from the task list. DXDIAG.EXE is running in the process list, however, and is chewing up CPU and RAM. After 30 seconds, dxdiag and Freelancer on the taskbar closes and Windows wants to send an error report. The CD-ROM also spins up during those 30 seconds. When I goto Trader's Paradise, I still can't buy anything due to unfriendliness with Universal Shipping, which is incorrect as I am friendly with them.

Again, I have legal copy of Windows XP Pro SP1 with every Windows update patch applied (including DX 9.0. I have a GeForce3 TI 200 and I am running the newest video driver from Nvidia's site (same as the one from Windows update as Nvidia's newest driver is WHQL certified. I tried both, same problem). I have a 1.5GHz P4 on an Intel board with 256MB RAM with a SB Live 5.1 XGamer. I'm not hacking or using any other mods. This happens every time I'm in the Nexus. Please see if you can replicae this problem, because I sure can; over and over and over again.

Thanks Rey

I meant to say that I fly with no cargo. I still have my weapons and equipment.
