GAG are u sure u have the last version of FLE ??
I had that problem a few versions before
Now i'm so scared it will happen that i only make changes in 1 system at the time
then i aply changes and save the mod
then i quit FLE and restart it for the next changes to be sure it won't mess things up (i found out that fixed the problem for that version that didn't find the emptyresource.dll file)
sounds like some extra precoutions , but at the end it pays out since losing your data is a lot more work its just a idea if u continue having that problem even with the latest version

Hi guys,

I am on holidays for two weeks so don't except a huge number of updates.
I'll try to see what i can fix before trying to add new stuff.
I'll probably try to fix the deletion of some complex objects too.

Yes i copied the two files to my exe folder, everything works, I can create the system and all and save it but it doesnt save my dll files.

How do you find out what the co-ordinates of systems are so you can enter it when making jump holes? Its probably something simple but i have no idea how to find this out.

Post Thu May 22, 2003 9:25 am

With the editor you dont need to know the coordinates, just look back through the messages to find out how to place jumpgates/jumpholes.

I have a small prob and i dunno if this question was answered,
Everytime i save a new system all the names of the planets plus the name of the system dissapears...Can you help me out?

NightCrawler,

Are you saving your system into a Mod? If so make a new system but just go Apply Changes instead of into a mod.

I think it has something to do with a file not saving along with everything else into the mod. I used to have that problem.

Has anyone had any problems with the trade lanes? I have been fighting all day trying to get two planets, two stations, and two jump gates connected by trade lanes.

Picture a diamond with North on the top, South on the bottom, and East and West. There is a jump gate to the South of South, and a jump gate to the West of west.

All the lanes are labeled correctly; jumpgate1 to planet1, planet1 to station1, station1 to planet2, planet2 to station2, and station2 to jumpgate2 and station2 to planet1.

The problem; comming out of jumpgate1, I'm told i'm going to planet2 instead of planet1. I free fly to the junction of the 3 lanes at planet 1. I take the lane to station1 and then to planet2 without problem. When I click on station2 I get sent to jumpgate1.

I've redone the planets, stations and trade lanes at 3 times and nothing I've tried seems to help.

Fangmans, I had the same problem with my system, which had 5 different places all with tradelanes going to another. I never sorted it out. Real pain in the backside.

Post Sat May 24, 2003 7:12 pm

that has already been fixed several versions ago

Post Sun May 25, 2003 3:17 am

Did you happen to see the Ver. # at the top of my post? I believe it is the latest version posted.

Does it sound like it's been fixed?

I have had the same problem with the last 4 versions

I don't know if this question has been answered, but when I try to apply changes, it says that it can't find empty_recources.dll. Does anybody know how to fix this?

Oh, and everything else works. And I did save it to the Freelancer EXE directory.
