Hi!

When I select something in a system in the lists, DS shows the system correct, but there is no universal map, showing all the systems and how they're connected.
I run freelancer without mods, just the Inofficial SP-Patch 1.2 and official Patch 1.1.

And... is it necessary to download 3.2?

Use left mouse button (drag a box to zoom into more then one system) to zoom in and right mouse-button to zoom back.

Zooming in is stacked and pulled if u click the right mousbutton.

What kind of mirror? For your program's updating process or just hosting the main downloads?

Post Thu Jan 29, 2004 2:31 pm

To host the Files for Download. Normally it takes some time b4 i update DS... these days arent normal

guess our 101st-server goes offline in 1-2 days - cause of tooooo much traffic.
So i search mirror-server which offer some space (and dont worry about some Giga Traffic a month). Most wanted is some space where i can upload new versions - but normal space may also help. Every Space from 3 to 10MB is welcome.

The Update-Process is hosted via 101st - every DS which get started polls www.101st.info/DS/news/news.txt (if i remember it right) and gets the versionnumber (to show a "Update avail"-Box) and the news u c right-hand in that ITAC-Window. I dont want to switch that to another server (cause of security and control).

Greetings -Holger.

I can offer a mirror on my filesystem which gives 6 high-bandwidth mirrors around the world, but you would have to send me the files to put on it. If you are interested send me an email.

Hm that look crazy - u dont have a WINDOWS 32 SYSTEM? - lol

Whats that - windows 3.1?

Anyway - u need some updates to dun DS 3.2

1. select START - EXECUTE - WUPDMGR (Enter) and that multiple times till u got all.

2. Open that setup.bat and look out for that OCX files it trys to download - get em from the links u find and register them with "regsvr32.exe filename.OCX"

3. Start FLData.exe and hope it works...

I don't want to seem like a dum-dum, but 've looked everywhere and I cant seem to find something that tells me exactly what this tool does. Could you please humpr me and fill me in? It looks great but I want to know exactly what it does.

I'm having problems as well, when I run it, I get that ActiveX problem, and also, when I run the setup, it flickers over and over, but disabling certain MSDOS features fixes that.

I'm one of the ones fortunate enough to be using Win 98 instead of XP, but really, how do I get this thing running?

Post Sun Feb 01, 2004 1:27 am

I use XP PRO system.

And it always show me Run-time error '50003' Unexpected error.

Why ? ? ?

Post Sun Feb 01, 2004 4:30 am

I also have a problem with 3.2:

After it loads, it starts with "analysing database", then it crashes with "runtime-error 48, couldn't load DLL".

2.2 is currently installed, Internet was active, 2.2 works.

Solution?

By the way: great program!!!

I seem to have a problem with getting ANY version of Datastorm to run with the brand new and just released AC2_Clanwars MOD.. D-Storm 2.x crashes after loading up to about 30% in the initialization of the Database with error, "Run-Time error 5: Invalid procedure call or argument." And D-Storm 3.20 dies with error, "Run-time error 6: overflow" after errorring out several times with, "6 in ReadINI(370), and then 6 in ReadINI(4090). It seems that this MOD really breaks Datastorm.

"No matter where you go, there you are..."
