To answer kickassclown, here's how to do the ids without touching at numbers.

1. Open the ini file and find all the entries with ids_name and ids_info you need.
2. There, change the entry (let's say ids_name) from

ids_name = ######

ids_name = 0 ;GENERATESTRRES("Name goes here"

(use GENERATEXMLRES for ids_info)

3. Once that is done, continue and repeat the process.

Now once you're finished with adding this. IMPORTANT STEP (That I didn't know about lol) :

4. get a basic xml file like this one :

<script>
<header name="My testmod">
<scriptversion>
1.31 ----- Careful this is FLMM script version! (Current latest is 1.31)
</scriptversion>
<author>
Who you are, name the most important here not that much place
</author>
<modurl>
if you have one put it here (http://blabla.com or anything)
</modurl>
<description>
Useful text box. Can be long without problem.
</description>
</header>
-----Begin to add other scripts here-----

-----End to add other scripts here-----
</script>

5. add this line where said up :
<data file="enter the path here" method="copyfile" sourcefile="enter the same path here" scanfile="true">
</data>

There you go!

I am having the same problem with the load library error. I have everything copied correctly but it just keeps giving me load libary error. I changed the name of my blank dll to GA.dll and added it right after the last dll entry under resources. THen I took the entire exe folder and copied it to my mod folder.

You have a bunch of them in Program Files/Microsoft Games/Freelancer/EXE.

Most of them are infocards, names and information like bribes and other text that shows up in game.

Question: How do I make a new dll file for the exe folder? I get the loadlibrary error. Probably noobish, I know.

P. Blake,
Get the emptydll zip file made by giskard, which you can get here @LR, and follow the instructions posted above. Make sure you add the dll's file name to your freelancer ini file, and insert the dll into your exe folder. There is a read me file in the zip file that will tell yo what to insert. after you have done all that, redirect your FLe-ids app to the exe folder w/the added dll.
