2 Things: Start MP Cash and MP Save Files

Mon Jul 21, 2003 12:51 am by SiV

First of all, is there a reasonably easy way to reset the amount of cash players start with in MP mode on the server? I attempted to modify the mpnewplayer.fl file in the EXE folder, but it didn't seem to have any effect. Can someone please tell me how to do this?

Secondly, does anyone know where save file data is stored? Particularly for MP save data. I can't find the SP data either, but I'm not really concerned about that. The reason I'm needing this info is because my friend was running a server, but he's been having serious instability with his computer and I'm going to take over for him, but I don't know where any of the account data is, so unless this is figured out, we'll have to restart our accounts.

MP data is stored on the server hard drive, not yours. It is kinda faulty either way.

1. If the server hard drive is wiped clean, all of your files get gone and you hard work vanished.

2. If it was stored on you're computer there would be no point in having servers like this and also it would be the biggest Mod/rig/cheat/hack fest of any 20th or 21st century game.

Well yeah... but you didn't answer my question at all. I know everything is serverside. That's unimportant though cuz I have access to his computer. I just want to know where to find the data on the computer. I already know how it works.

Saved games are not in the freelancer directory. It's in the "My Documents" directory, which could be c:\windows\profiles, or in c:\documents and settings.
(my documents\my games\freelancer)

And the starting info is in the freelancer\data\characters\newcharacter.ini

Why make your own mistakes when someone else has already made them for you?

LOL. To think the answer was literally right under my nose.

Well, thanks a lot.

And as for why I prefer to make my own mistakes? Practice. Maybe someone else made them for me and I can bypass them, but if I do, I'll never learn anything, will I? (ie. the difference between script kiddies and real hackers)
