maxybo, when you select create a new mod, a dialog box should appear, select create a new directory in this dialog box, rename it as you want and when you select Ok, the program will generate the files inside this new directory.

Normaly it will create the new dll and a DATA directory containing the modified files.

K i have done that and dot a dir, ziped it up and sent it to a friend. He placed the dir's into the freelancer dir but it does not work. Is that all he does just copy's the dir in the zip into the 1's in the freelancer dir. ?

I noticed that the entrance through Zone-21 minefield in new york is SOME
type of an exclusion zone...do you think you can include that in your next version?

You treid telling your friend that you have to put the mod into FLMM (All in a folder and put it in the mod file) and start the mod using FLMM?

Your friend needs FLMM in order to activate your mod.

What he doesn't need is the files to make the mod.

Are you activating your mod with FLMM? If you are the only thing you have to zip is the FLMM directory that contains your mod.

Doing this will allow your friend to unzip the file directly into FLMM, select and activate the mod, and then play the game.

Sshan, for my mod I need a shipyard, but I havn't found one in the editor.
If there is one, tell me which one.
If there isn't one, put one in

Ah. such a boring life!!

Kendo THM, there is no shipyard at the moment and i have seen that a lot of object classified as SATELLITE cannot be added by the explorer..
Coming soon

Seems that i still have the exclusion zone problem on the new version when you put more then 1 exclusion zone in the dialog box the last zone you've added is the only one there when you return to the screen!

need help

Many will strive to survive.But only a few will prevail

NightCrawler, i confirm that's a bug. I am fixing it right now.
The new version will be available sometimes today.
Probably after the launch of the probe for mars

Hey, just to tell you, I havn't used the new version (v1.6.9 or something), but as I was editing my mod, I edited a system, added the changes, exited the explorer, started the mod, had a look in the game to see if everything was allright, exited again, deactivated the mod, edited the mod again, but there were suddenly lots of lines from my one system going into loads of other systems.

How come it did this? I mean I didn't add any new jump holes/gates or anything like that...

I think I found my bug...

When I looked in the systems the lines went to, there was a jump hole with no name in each of them. Problem is... I don't know where they came from.

Of course they could come from a very very old mod I made with this program and that was a system that linked everything together (The idea was abandon so...). I think I even had a few attempts on that one.

Anyway... could it be that the explorer loaded up something from ages ago?
Problem is... I deleted it all.

I don't want to delete the jump holes as they might destroy the game by accident.

WHAT SHOULD I DO????
