redownload the mod, could be a bad download.

Thumbs.db is a read only windows file that accompanies image files. This displays the thumbnail images when there are image files. Also, since it is read only, flmm will not overwrite it. All that really needs to be done is to delete that file from the dir (if there is only one instance of it).

the download is not corrupted and the file doesnt matter

the installation instruction does say:

1. clean installation of FL is required
2. FLMM 1.31 is required


more is not needed to activate it

Error: problem activating 'Crossfire Mod 1.70 Client Edition'
Error: SHCopyFile failed ('C:\Program Files\Freelancer\EXE\spcontent.dll.flmmbak' to 'C:\Program Files\Freelancer\DLLS\BIN\content.dll')

Well , seems like the same problem eh? Well i had been working on some other problems as well ;
I just copied the spcontent.dll from "crossfire 1.70 folder" to Freelancer\Exe\
and what ? lol there was no spcontent.dll or something Then i tried activating mod again and it worked ,

Well try copying the Thumbs from "crossfire" to your movies directory (backup the original before doing it 'Yeah i know manual sucks eh lol') then actiavate the mod again , I hope it will work ,
With best wishes
Rai

1. clean installation of FL
2. use flmm 1.31 like the manual does say

either you didnt have a clean installation of FL or you didnt use flmm 1.31 (flmm 1.4 is bugged)

oh and w0lfshad3 you are banned from my forum for breaking various rules such as insulting other players and the try to make ppl leave my server to yours

You are retarded i am new to the mods and not playing MP, only SP. Quit victimizing yourself, your goign to piss me off really bad and you won't have a server to complain about in the first place. If you want to be a loser fine just don't lie so much. And your sycophants started flaming me just for proposing a quality patch and giving advice, of course you are no better. You'll make me write to the coresponding firm about the picture you are using in the menu(as soon as i remember or someone tells me wich game i saw that in) and the sounds you stole from Cavedogs.

Yea thats what i get for asking for help a couple of days first getting nothing then getting flamed by the crossfire comunity, doesn't matter tough; i got that because the quality of crossfire mod, zero. And i wasn't having trouble installing it, i figured that out alone. I even got accused of coming from Discovery mod to advertise but i'm new. I'll do a little unmystifying for you tough since you treat people like that you should knwo you will get the treatment back. And don't bother to ban me, i can get in your forum whenever i want, your in luck, i don't want to (keep in mind that i allready proven that to you lols)

What crossfire people won't tell you:

This mod CAN'T be deactivated you have to reinstall the whole game. It has a particular install procedure, you cannot stray from it(except overwrite everything but you'll miss the option that way). After you manage to get into the game past the louzy mod artwork and all that you have to disable sound so the game doesn't crash, or it might crash all the same from what i read on their forum. Then the fun begins, the trade system is borked, spamming the list of every station, gameartwork changed into a horror movie(dont' attempt single player with this mod). And i only played 'till NY -> Colorado jumpgate in SP to find all this out.

My advice: play Discovery mod its the best(don't listen to me check the poll on the site) and keeps FL atmosphere. After trying CF, Discovery was like heaven.

Now now, lets not turn this into a flame thread like others tend to.

he is doing it again
he came to our forum... advertised his mod... claimed that my mod would have tons of bugs (which is not true) and broke several rules of the forum
then he started unprovoked insults against almost everyone

and to clear things up - w0lfshad3
ppl tried to help you with ur problems they told you how to solve them but in response you treated them like sh**

and you CAN deactivate CF in FLMM (if you would have listened to what ppl told you would know that)

oh and w0flshad3 this poll does say nothing because the most successful FL mods are not even listed there due to the fact that this poll has only 6 options
the only thing that does show a mods popularity is the number of overall downloads

a comparison of the mods is available but unfortunatly its outdated
i did a comparison of all mod downloads here on LR one week before xmas (actually i only wanted this for my private use but if you come with your poll i come with real facts based on a fair treatment of major ALL mods)

so here we go:
all download of all mods in different versions were taken... bugfixes/patches that didnt upgrade the mod were excluded... manuals were excluded... flso files were excluded... images and movies were excluded from the amount of total downloads (to guarantee that only the mod itself is counted)

---

oh this is why i cant connect to my pages anymore? what have you ********* done?!?!?!??! Im going to check what the problem is and if i find out that it is because of you then i guarantee that after im done with you will consider hell just another warm place then


--------------------------

well, it's not so hard to unistall the mod, just restore backups instead of deactivate the mod, and replace freelancer directory everytime you change mod.
and don't tell me you don't know how to do it, cause if you know to mess with other's mod's you should know to make these as well.

Argos - he never wanted any help
the first post was offensive already and it was not the first time this guy did something like this... there are many other communities out there which had similar problems with him

even he did use different IPs and some other "surprises" i have confirmed information about him... his location and even his phone number by now

Your wish is my command..

These kind of insulting rants are just what we dont want.. does no-one read the guidelines?

Hi,

I only likes to say some words here...

Look at my registration date to have an idea wether I know something about Freelancer and his mods or not.

I`ve played nearly all big mods; always through SP and in MP because I love this game. Sometimes the installations brings some problems but if u have a good comunity in the background you always will find a way to activate it

One of the best comunities i´ve found is the one from the CF Mod and they are still alive (like in the beginning of freelancer mods) - many ideas and many helpful words in their forum and on their server even for freelancers like me.

w0lfshad3 makes trouble in this comunity since his appearance, where i ever found help - you don´t need to give more tips to him here because he only malign the CF comunity in acting like a troll there and now here too (in the holy book of all freelancers!).

He shouldn´t be allowed to do this here from my opinion as a realy old and respectful user of this boards.

Thanks for reading
Kermit
