hi

far as i know all you have to do is create a folder with the name of the mod in your flmm mod folder then paste the data and exe folders etc into it.

havent tried it myself but that is the theory.

next time you start flmm it should pick it up and your good to go

OK, I'm just a little new to modding, so maybe I'm making a really stupid mistake or something, but anyway.
But every time I try any mod (not any, but most of them, I obviously haven't tried every mod on the site), I can install it and activate it with mod manager, but when I load the game, it crashes right after the start sequence, and won't get better, you have to reinstall freelancer, so far as I can see. thanks for your help.

np carl hope it helps

swamp,
sounds like you have an incompatible save (or auto save)
the new beta version of flmm has an inbuilt fix for this check out this thread

hope this helps - and check out me mates millenium falcon mod here its also just been added to the rebalance mod and imho looks bloody stunning.

Read the FAQ that comes with FLMM; it tells you how to get back your saved games .

did the FLIMM download and the Rebel aliance mod but for some reason it stops at centurion.bmp saying it is denied

any ideas

Fred,
The same thing happened to me but i fixed it. All you have to do iz make sure all the files you are editing and copying are NOT Read-Only. U can right click on a folder and then click properties, check read-only and apply it to all the subfolders and files, Then do the same thing except uncheck Read-Only this time. It should make all the files non-read-only and the mod should install fine. If the problem persists then try replacing the problem files manually (cut-and-paste them from your rebalance mod files). BE SURE TO MAKE BACKUPS OF THE ORIGINAL FILES IF YOU MANUALLY REPLACE FILES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope this helps-

thanks for reply.. I am trying this but not working.. Tried a cut and paste but stiill stopping. Now it is having problens with the St03b.ini file. Tried changing attributes but they keep resetting , did a cut /paste but FLIMM still stops at that point..
Also do you know where FL keeps its saved games?? I swear I did an unistall but when I reinstalled FL the saved games were still there..

Thnkas for any help

Download FLMM v1.2 beta from a thread in the General Editing forum; it fixes the access_denied problem and has a menu option under Tools that will open up your saved game directory (which is in My Documents\My Games\Freelancer\Accts\SinglePlayer).

Fred,
Make sure when u cut and paste that u dont "copy" and paste but actually click and drag the file into the new directory. The files u manualy install need to be deleted from your mod file directory. In other words: keep the original game files u backed up and delete all the mod files u manually installed from the Rebalance mod folder. If the FLMM does not sense a file that needs to be installed it will skip over it and go to the next file. Look for the files that are causing the problem, manually install them from your mod folder, and delete the mod files u just installed from your mod folder. If this doesnt make sense, or doesnt work, Email me at [email protected].

-Peace
