Possible Mod Damage?

Possible Mod Damage?

I have FLMM v1.3 and some mods and stuff just like anybody else who owns Freelancer.

I was playing a normal SP Campaign game... with no mods on.

Eventually, I got to the part where I defeated some nomads and had to land on Planet Toledo.

When I landed on Toledo, my ship changed to a Starflier (from an Anubis), I become level 22, and the storyline stops. I can't continue with the storyline after that point.

I thought maybe it was a glitch and did it again (from last savepoint) but it happend again and my ship mysteriously changes and storyline stops. Could a mod have somehow overwritten important files or something?

How could this happen? Should I reinstall?

Woah, can you fly arround Omicron Minnor, without the storyline? Dude, you have a golden opportunity to explore a forbidden system! Or can you not even get back into space? As for your problem, if you're sure there are no mods enabled, a re-install may be the only way to go, unfortunately. Either that, or you're pulling my leg, in which case you're a sick sick human being. --- VH16

I would rather be playing Freelancer finishing that damn storyline instead of pulling anybody's leg.

I think some file just got messed up and I'll have to reinstall :-(

I haven't tried launching into space yet... I'll do that.

yes but flmm 1.3 is'nt that good some mods that i have don't work with that version and some i had does'nt work with 1.2 beta 10 how can that be.... and the ones that don't work are older than both of the version so they should have worked

End of message, Dexter over and out!

Umm... okay... whatever

Question: If I do reinstall, can I just copy all the saved games I have now into another temporary folder on my desktop and then put them in the saved games folder of the newly reinstalled freelancer?

I'd really REALLY don't wanna go through all that hell again in SP campaign just to get Anubis -_- (and no, don't tell me to go get a mod to get anubis.)

Ok, now it is confirmed that the storyline stops and i can FREELY roam about Omicron minor (where planet toledo is) in a starflier. When i try to buy another anubis from toledo, it doesn't work, i still have a starflier. this is so weird. would pictures help make people believe me? this sux.

There is nothing in omicron minor and it's totally boring. I want the damn storyline to finish.

So anyway to reinstall and keep saved games?

Massive Spoiler, Look away if you must


Really, nothing? Cause in the story line there's a nomad hypergate (it's a large triangular structure) in the system that takes you to the Nomad homeworld. Not that you'd live long in a starflier, but it would be worth the trip. Really spactacular.

If someone wants this removed, feel free to ask. --- VH16

@Delta.

Yes you can do that with the game files. But you'll probably have to delete the autosave file.

Where is that jump gate VH16? What sector? If you can tell me, i'll go there and take a screenshot or two...

I had the same problem but with Evolutions 1.28 installed (see my post at http://www.lancersreactor.com/t/forum/t ... OD&M=False ).

So did you activate before (and deactivate again of course)either Evo 1.28 or Open SP Mod ?

Post Fri Aug 20, 2004 7:31 am

I read your thread. Yes, that's exactly the same problem I'm having now. With my ship changing into a starflier at the "planet landing" movie and stuff.

I never had the Evo mod, but I definatly messed around with OpenSP Mod v1.1 and Chips open SP version.

When I say "messed around" I mean it like this: I played with Chips OpenSP mod only a few times. However, once I got tired of that, I started to alternate between playing online and playing in SP.

I would constantly go back and forth every now and then activating or deactivating OpenSP Mod v1.1 depending on whether I wanted to play multiplayer or SP at the time.

That's basically all I would do. Then one time, I deactivated it, went into Freelancer, and instead of going to multiplayer (which would be the reason I would deactivate it) I decided to play an entire SP campaign. And this is where I am today with the ship changing problem.

When I reinstall, where is the exact directory I must put my saved games to make them work?

Post Fri Aug 20, 2004 9:48 am

Doea anybody know where to put the .fl files (my old saved games) to make them loadable in game???

Post Fri Aug 20, 2004 2:58 pm

Never mind. I finally found it myself. Thanks to no one for helping.

If you were wondering too, the saved games are in My Documents under My Games. Good luck.

Btw, after reinstalling I was able to complete the storyline.
