Moving Characters between machines

Fri Oct 21, 2005 5:54 pm by TodC

Hi all,
This is my first post.
I have a small problem. My son and I have been playing FL in multi player Lan mode (running the server) on his PC at different times. He would play and then I would play after he went to bed.
I reciently purchased a PC of my own, and have been playing on it for a while. My son now want us to play a Lan game. I have been trying to copy my character from his machine to mine (by copying the My Games folder) but FL does not seem to see them.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Colin

Welcome to TLR, you have the privelege of recieving my first post in this forum in forever.

What you need is in your Freelancer\exe folder

The file will be called "myflaccountid"

NOTE : The address for your Freelancer folder will not be the same as mine. It will mostlikely be C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer, or C:\Program Files\ Freelancer

It should come up with

(Mine says <NOT FOUND> because I just recently reinstalled and haven't played yet, yours will be a string of numbers.)

You get the ID number (up there) off the computer you used to play it on. Take that id number and put it in exactly when it asks for it after clicking Multiplayer on the new computer's Freelancer. Then that should do it. Keep in mind you only have shot at that. If you alredy entered in the ID at an earlier time, you are going to have to reinstall to get another chance to enter it. Make sure you are still hosting the server on the same computer as before to keep the saved character files.
