Datastorm Disable

Man its been a while since I've posted in here. lol.

I need to know how to disable Datastorm so it cannot see the files for FL and cannot reveal the entire map to people. The "Evolved" community does not want people revealing the entire map and getting stuff straight away.

Help on this matter would be most appriciated.

there are many ways to do this... but its hard to answer it because i dont know what you want to hide and in which way

Real easy, just hide everything. Make NOTHING accessable.

Here's a step-by-step instruction:

- Create a new empty INI file in DATA/UNIVERSE. I'll call it "universe_empty.ini".

- Open up EXE/freelancer.ini and find a line called "universe = universe\universe.ini". Create a new line BEFORE the one you just found but AFTER the solararch line. In my case it would be "universe = universe\universe_empty.ini".

Done. As Datastorm will only read the first universe file and that one is empty in your case, DS will not show a thing.

Neat, eh?
