Change MP Start Location?

Okay, I'm just starting my own server. I made a MOD for it, it is almost done. How do I chanmge where new players will spawn in, what ship they spawn with, and how much credits? (e.g. Manhatten, NY; Starflier; 2000 Credits) I assume the stuff is in EXE/mpnewacct.fl, but if it is, does anyone have the compiled FL Saved Game Decoder/Encoder? Thanks in advance.

theres away to do that if you have alter your files go to gizmo studios theres a lot of tutorials on there. or just download the server operators mod if it work with your mod then activate it. it changes players ships players money it opens all jump gates and changes a players faction.

[Player
name = %%NAME%% ((Name of your character. Default is Trent.))
;initial_rep = %%FACTION%%
rank = 0 ((Starting rank, default is 0.))

money = %%MONEY%% ((Starting credits, default is 2000))
;voice = %%VOICE%% ((Trent's voice - do not change this.))
;All must be Trent!
voice = trent_voice

costume = %%BASE_COSTUME%% ((Trent's costume))
com_costume = %%COMM_COSTUME%% ((Not sure.))

system = li01 ((Starting system))
base = li01_01_base ((Starting base))

Change %%MONEY%% to the amount of your choice.
Change the system to the system nickname of your choice (not in-game name)
Change the base to the base nickname of your choice (not in-game base name)

So, say you want to start at Omicron Alpha with 1 mil, you'd make it:

money = 1000000
system = Hi01
base = Hi01_01_base

Not sure about ships, however. What you could do is make the start location where you buy the ship and supply enough credits to do so.

@ Andr92: First of all, try starting a new thread instead of hijacking mine . Secondly, do you want to change the game language to Swedish? Or just want to know how to mod? Either way, send me a PM. I would be more than happy to educate you in the subtle art (*someone snorts/sneezes in background*) of modding FL. Cheers.
