Creating a modded and unmodded version of Freelancer

Sun Jul 27, 2003 2:12 am by Chiggy

Probably not the right place, but I see some people are wondering how to create a ::"phantom":: copy of FL to run mods with. Simple folks, just copy your entire Freelancer directory to somewhere else. For example, I have 3 versions, one located in C://Freelancer, C://Games/Freelancer, and C://Program Files/Freelancer. Alls you have to do is create different shortcuts to the different EXE files, such as Freelancer: v.2.01, or Freelancer (normal). All versions work with the CD, but if you try to reinstall it, sometimes the CD won't recognize the freelancer directory. So, creating different versions is quite easy, but FLMM only mods one directory at a time, so you'll have to change the directory in there.

I need help.

Yup, wrong place, try the "MOD" forums. You might get more answers there.

If I had a nickel for every time someone told me that my idea for melting down coins to make a giant robotic parrot was a bad idea, I would have one kicka$$ giant robotic parrot.

I just rename the original freelancer install to freelancer.org and the modded to freelancer.mod and rename either one back to freelancer when i want to play it.

Simple, shame the saves are not

I tried to make a second freelancer copy too. It worked at first but then I had to reinstall the unmodded one and now when a mod is installed the unmodded wont work. hmmmmm. Theres no point anyway now that mod manager does all mods in under a min.

i've been banned without having a mod on it and was not cheating...

i had just worked out a rout (missions only) and was able in 3 hours to buy even a titan... (i didn't borowed money from some1 else and hadn't helped with missions from some1 else)... and did a div 43 mission in a drake with only class 5 pyros type 2 guns (have 3 screenshot of it, after mission done)

- edit - i did it a little slowly, between some missions a little waiting and chatting with others... so it can be done in 2.5 hours... do it slowly and u don't get banned
