OK, then another question:
What did I do wrong that I'm ignored?

hi
what you need to do is go to freelancer exe files find mpnewcharactor
find the line for money and change it

check out my server dickheads domain up 24/7 im there most of the time will answer more questions


have fun fly straight

not everbody is perfect

Multiplayer settings are stored in the mpnewcharacter.fl file in the EXE directory.

Open the file in a text editor, look for the line reading:

money = %%MONEY%%

Replace %%MONEY%% with the amount of money you want everyone to start with.

Thanks a lot

Tried this, didn't work. Is there a $ limit? should it look like this:

money = 99999

or this?

money = %%99999%%




"Got anything for me?" - Trent, A.K.A. 'Mr. Eloquent'

I don't think there is one. I have a character I gave 6 million $

How should it look?

;money = %%MONEY%%
money = 10000

This is copied directly from my mpnewcharacter.fl file. Both lines can exist, the second line defines the amount. The first reminds you of what it originally was in case you need to change it back.

There isn't a limit as such, although the Freelancer game itself can't cope with anything longer than 9 digits.

The correct format is:

money = 99999

Don't forget to exlude the preceding ";" which is used in the orginal file to "comment out" lines.

The %s also aren't needed- they're only used to indicate where an internal variable should be used rather than an absolute value. I assume this is to allow admins/players to select different starting options via a front-end menu which was never implemented. The game even presents you with a screen where this might be done when you create a new character but doesn't allow you to change the values. I've messed about with quite a few of the settings in the file and many crash the server or give unexpected results so I guess this was dropped during development as just another thing DA couldn't be arsed/were incapable of getting to work!

Thanks all!

Turns out it worked all along. That first screen where you name your character
always says $2000, no matter what you set starting cash.

"Got anything for me?" - Trent, A.K.A. 'Mr. Eloquent'

You can fix the starting cash amount so there's no discrepency between what you're giving and what you SAY you're giving by editing the money field in Characters > newcharacter.ini
