This is working great exept for 1 thing. The names don't stick. when I go into the game nothing in my system has a name. Is there a way to make people on the planets, bases in this?

Is there a way to change the settings of a system I created already? Lets say I wanted to change the color or name.

Arg!!!
When you save first save a system in a mod then load the mod again and save it again it saves it in the data directory!

I restored the files and lost most of my system!!!

Oh well.

The trade lanes were guffing up 2. Something to do with having lots of em

siddous thats quite easy just delete the bases and systems from the universe.ini folder.

however i am finding that every time i try to save my new systems it always says, error emtpy_resources.dll not found. and then all my systems info is lost. i can only assume that because it cant find the .dll file to save to ,that none of the ids info/names are being written into the .dll or freelancer.ini file and there fore when you re run the editor all info is lost.

shsan, the editor is brill and i am loving it, i just wanted to bring this up again. i have installed the feelancerexplorer into the correct exe folder al;ong with the emptyresources.dll but it still doesnt find it. any ideas.

Great tool Shsan, its working awesome. I fixed up my other problem, all i needed was a reinstall but now ive got another that im sure is with the program. When i go to make a trade lane in my own system, it makes the lane but joins it from random places, stop halfway and other sorts of crap, heres the file if you need it.

Thats the working version, just extract it to the FLMM mod folder and test it out with the tool and tell me if it stuffs up when you make trade lanes too, otherwise its my comp

note that it usually does it randomly, but once it does it once, it will continue to do so

Well I do not see it....Also, is there a way to change the settings of my system like the name or color?

Post Sat May 17, 2003 1:33 am

yes you can change the system background colour (im an aussie). Just when you create it, change the background colour to the one you want and itll find the closest compatible colour. The system i just put up for download was supposed to have a dark blue background but its actually a bright sky blue and i think it looks cool.

the only bad thing is the background stars all have black triangles around them, so they look a little crap, but i think its worth it.

Um... Again. How does one make the names for stuff stick? My jump holes are all called [ Planets are [ Everything else is [ . Anyone else have this problem?

Post Sat May 17, 2003 8:56 am

The names aren't working with me too

Post Sat May 17, 2003 1:53 pm

strange, names are working fine with me. Try reinstalling the editor or freelancer, and get rid of any .ini.txt files (made by bini) from you freelancer data and make sure they are the original ini's. thats what i found stuffs up the editor sometimes

I already reinstalled freelacer and the manager but it still doesnt work

Post Sat May 17, 2003 11:21 pm

i don't have any problems
one problem can be that u have your mod activated while editing and that messes up the ids_names and no names show up in your system (fixed by deactivating the mod so fle don't find 2 mod.dll files )
be sure u always check the FLE website for that latest version since that problem is fixed in the newest version
A lot of problems i see here i recognize from earlyer versions and i know they are fixed in the latest version
so again be sure to get the latest version before u post your problems here
that way shsan doesn't have to go thru all the messages to figure out which one is a real problem and which is a old one
Thats why he requested u guys to post the version number of the FLE u are running (found in the help/about tab)
That way shsan knows if u are running a updated version of the software and if he already fixed it

ps shsan is on vacation for a week or so ,responces might be coming delayed
