Couple of Annoying bugs...

Ok I got some problems on my computer that are both very annoying and that makes my Mod Creation even harder...

First bug : Whenever I try to decode one player file, I get Run-time Error #5 and I can't interact with IONCROSS anymore. I've got XP Pro French with 1 GB of RAM, a Linksys router, a P4 with HT tech and well... I think that's it. I got VB6 Runtime installed.

Second bug : When I create a new char on my own server, I always start with a neutral rep, even with mpnewcharacter.fl original version in my EXE folder. I run no mod and even reinstalled FL to get rid of any possible bug.

Help!

for numero 2 - try doing a player wipe and then seeing if it continues. By this - i mean go to your multiplayer accounts in my documents/my games/freelancer/accts/multiplayer - and then delete all files in there.

For unos - not sure - i use a save game editor instead of ioncross.

#1 dont decode NEWPLAYERS a player has too have launched atleast once before it can be viewed/edited

The #2 is even worse than I though : The game does give a rep when the char starts, but whenver this char exits the server, it's rep is reset to neutrality...

What's that thingy???

And for #1, I didn't. Every player had already gone in space at least once.

FF there is a bug with a altered new player file, if you make changes to it, for rep/unlocked gates etc. So if you keep one character from before that new default creation file then it will reset all the new ones created. So to have altered reps etc for a new player you have to delete ALL player folders and start again from scratch. That means all your admin/deputy char ships have to be made again, as well as every player has to restart.

As for that char viewing bug, check its not a .FL file less than 3kb, there should be an error log in IFSO if the player lists have been updated with the error message Error decoding file 05-6551344b.fl - too few lines in this file to be an .fl file! if it is find it with the server closed and delete the files linked to each error message.

Well I deleted each .fl file under 3 kb and I did a full wipe on the server, then I deleted every simgle file in the Multiplayer folder, but I still have the 2 described bugs...
