FL Rebalance 3.40 Comments, Bug reports and suggestions
Last version of Rebalance is finally out, I hope that is the most stable by now since it was intensively tested in SP, OpenSp and MP all alike.
so, there's the instalation instructions, features abnd credits list of Rebalance
3.40:
Installation instructions for the Rebalance Mod v3.40:
-Make sure you first do a fresh install of Freelancer (either delete the old Freelancer folder and saved games folder and reinstall, or install to a new location on your drive).
Default location for Freelancer
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer - delete the Freelancer folder.
Default location for saved games
My Documents\My Games\Freelancer - delete the Freelancer folder.
-Reinstall Freelancer.
-Install the Freelancer Freelancer SDK v1.3 to be sure all ini files are correct from the start.
The Freelancer SDK v1.3 has an installer built in by default it will install into the Freelancer folder.
-Delete the old Rebalance Mod from the Freelancer Mod Manager if you have it activated/installed and double left click on the new Flrebalance v3.40 file to install it into the Freelancer Mod Manager.
-Last step to do is to activate Rebalance 3.40 in the Freelancer Mod Manager.
-You can find both the Freelancer SDK v1.3 and the Freelancer Mod Manager beta 10 in Lancers Reactor downloads section.
v3.40 features:
-includes patches from RB 3.30 final + Dagger Xr patch.
-fixed the Jupiter Obs. station giving missions inside Planet Jupiter
the models in my SW pack are from the Darksabers Ultimate Craft Pack(DSUCP), so credits go for Tony "Darksaber" Denton for making them. I converted, re-textured and configured them for use with Freelancer.
-use the ModSettings.bat file to set up choices of the mod, like OpenSP mode, disabling cut scenes, levels of difficulty, levels of encounters in the EFA system and more. Syntax: Modsettings.bat X:, where X: is the letter of the drive where FL is installed.
-new systems added, made by Augur:
Iowa
Illinois
New Jersey
Carolina
-added jumpholes or jumpgates to existing systems to fit the new ones
-fixed the loadouts of high level BH and Corsairs/Hessians/Outcasts. Added combined missiles loadouts to them, like class 1 and 3 or class 2 and 3, of different levels.
-increased the power of the faction guns by 16 to 20%.
-recommend to the server admins to use the low density setting both for EFA and for the Edge worlds. this will prevent the server of crashing when players go and pvp or do missions in these systems.
-added Augur's ship pack made specifically for Rebalance, it contains 11 ships as follows:
-Gaijin MkI - HF, armor 7500, cargo 80, weapons 6/2/2
-Gaijin MkII - VHF, armor 13500, cargo 125, weapons 8/4/2
-Halycon MkI - LF , armor 2500, cargo 40, weapons 4/2/2
-Halycon MkIa - HF, armor 4800, cargo 75, weapons 6/2/2
-Halycon MkII - VHF, armor 10100, cargo 150, weapons 6/4/2
-Ryuoken - HF, armor 5700, cargo 65, weapons 5/2/2
-Seraphim - FRT, armor 8500, cargo 750, weapons 4/7
-Mauler - VHF, armor 13200, 8/2/2, weapons 8/2/2
-Hawkeye MkII - VHF, armor 10500, cargo 1200, weapons 6/3/4
-Hydra: FRT/VHF, armor 11800, cargo 1500, weapons 6/6/2
-Raider: HF, armor 5500, cargo 45, weapons 6/1/2
-these are spread out in the Bretonia, Kusari and Rheinland Systems.
-added my own ship pack of 14 SW ships consisting of the following ships:
-TIE Avenger, HF, weapons 4/4/2, cargo 75
-R-41 Starchaser, LF, weapons 4/2/2, cargo 90.
-Preybird Fighter, LF, weapons 4/2/4, cargo 80.

-Assault Gunboat, VHF, weapons 8/4/2, MS3D model and setup made by Augur, then converted and re-textured by me.
-Missile Boat, VHF, weapons 7/2/4, cargo 120.
-added Illerrio ship's pack, containing the Caerion LF and the Midanek HF.
-fixed the ship in the Freespace ship pack by Caid, they got now correct LOD ranges and don't disappear during cruise, thrust or rapid maneuvers anymore.
-each ship has a specific maneuverability in conjunction to its own shape, for ex: wider ships have less roll but better pitch while longer and thinner ships have better roll and less pitch.Ship class has also a key role in maneuverability and inertia in flight.
-restored NPC and player shield regeneration to defaults(lower) settings.
-re-distributed missing ship packages all over Sirius so all of the ships added can be bought somewhere.
-fixed the EFA system commodity bugs, and in-space random crashes.
changes from 3.40 beta 2:
-fixed the Carolina system jumphole to Sigma 19 and the New Jersey to Tau 37 jumphole
-fixed the tradelanes in the Iowa systems, and the super-trade routes that allowed very fast credits to be made.
-opened the New York to Alaska and back Jumpgates in MP.
-fixed the BH bases in the Omicron Systems that were causing crashes when the player tried to undock.
