hi all i have some new tips for u all

Freelancer tips by daz(Darkdaz, startrekmad)

Hello Everyone,

This is just a small tip
PLEASE MAKE SURE U BACKUP THE FILES THAT U R GOING TO EDIT (THE FILES SAID IN THIS TIP) BEFORE U MAKE CHANGES OR U WILL MESS UR INSTALLATION UP OF THE GAME AND THEN UR HAVE TO RE INSTALL AGAIN.

which i just found out, i apoloise if u all have already found this out or u have discovery this, i no the mod makers have all done so.
but iam a bit late. so let me have my moment.

Please rememeber before u mod freelancer, be sure to edit the files on this tip file from me, in the main game path, just goto C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\DATA\ and start editing, dont worryu wont lost the moditions.

anymod will do that u have, for mods i suggested u edit the source files before u continue modding or modding my freelancer mod manager.
freelancer mods will be installed into "C:\Program Files\Freelancer Mod Manager\mods\" asummeing u installed into the default folder.
now goto "C:\Program Files\Freelancer Mod Manager\mods\" with windows explorer. say BigDaddy(made by FlyByU, he or she can contacted on [email protected])

Game editing:
=============
goto C:\Program Files\Freelancer Mod Manager\mods\BigdaddyMODv1\DATA
and now edit the file constants.ini with any editor. now add the line MAX_PLAYER_AMMO = x (where X is the number u wish to input say 1000) under the line "PLAYER_ATTACHED_EQUIP_HIT_PTS_SCALE ="
also check the line "CRUISE_ATTEN_MOD_RANGE =" to see if theres a line saying: "CRUISING_SPEED = " u can change ur speed to what ever u lie say 1000.

[ShieldEquipConsts
HULL_DAMAGE_FACTOR = 4.000000
This means the damage u get and how bad to or u hit ur enemys. 0 is none, which means there got god mode.

MAX_LOOT_PER_ASTEROID = 500: means max number of loot in one asteroid field.


ship editing:
=============
Goto C:\Program Files\Freelancer Mod Fanager\mods\BigdaddyMODv1\DATA\SHIPS
and now edit the file shiparch.ini with any editor. now aslong as u remember what ship u like to fly, best fly with or is ur favitor. lets say u want to edit the game first mission ship(when juni gives u a ship for ur first mission)
this ship is a civilian ship, the id name of this ship which find out is (ids_name) 237015 just do a search for it will be first one u come to,
and its a ge_fighter. anywere.
the reason for my tip editing, is the "nanobot_limit = 10", "shield_battery_limit = 10" and "hold_size = 20" lines.
u can change the number so u dont have to dock with astation or a planet everytime its full say 20units. u can collect like 500units and get a lot of cargo unit space used. and the same goes for shield batterys and nanobots(repair units).
have fun with them.


market price editing:
=====================
I thought that get ur attention
goto C:\Program Files\Freelancer Mod Manager\mods\BigdaddyMODv1\DATA\EQUIPMENT and edit the file Goods.ini, search for the line: ge_fighter2, the prise for this ship is 153,000 credits. (ur have to search the stations and planes to find this ship),
change the price to say 1,000 credits, then u might beanleto buy it without doing a load of missions to get the 153,000 credits. by then when u want it for the missions u can buy it now and use it


Cargo stuff editing:
====================
base = Br01_01_base = manhatten.
now in the same path "C:\Program Files\Freelancer Mod Manager\mods\BigdaddyMODv1\DATA\EQUIPMENT" edit the file market_commodities.ini where its got "MarketGood = commodity_gold, 0, -1, 150, 500, 0, 1.080000" 1.080000 is 1,080,000 credits. so if u have one gold inur cargo bay, and u goto a commmoditie trader he will buy that onegold of u for 1,080,000 credits, change its to a higher one so u can get more credits.

equipment edit:
===============
goto C:\Program Files\Freelancer Mod Manager\mods\BigdaddyMODv1\DATA\EQUIPMENT
and edit the file misc_good.ini, u can changethe prices in this one as well, u no how.


st_equipment edit:
==================
goto C:\Program Files\Freelancer Mod Manager\mods\BigdaddyMODv1\DATA\EQUIPMENT
and edit the file st_equip.ini and change "lootable = false" to ture then u can tractor everything when u kill a ship


Weapon equipment goods edit:
============================u can also change the prices in C:\Program Files\Freelancer Mod Manager\mods\BigdaddyMODv1\DATA\EQUIPMENT\weapon_good.ini
u no how.

Mission reward edit
===================
ur all like this one aswell
goto C:\Program Files\Freelancer Mod Manager\mods\close-encounters-in-sirius-v3\Data\Missionsand then goto mission 1a and edit m01a.ini and change the reward to (say) 10,000 credits, i can't find the reward line in the other missions. this tip is for mods only not the game its self



good luck and have fun.


then start modding with freelancer mod manager.
and enjoy selfs.
