A mod to enable ALL 5 ships in the demo

Sun Mar 02, 2003 3:44 am by Rheinland Destroyer

As I mentioned before I've been working on a mod to enable all 5 ships in the game demo by making them all level 1 ships.The same level 2 limit still applies & you still have to by the ships at there normal prices & places.

Simply download this file & rename it to market_ships.ini .After download simply place in your C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer Trial\DATA\EQUIPMENT folder in which you should be able to fly all 5 ships from which excluded the Bloodhound,Dagger & Defender they should all be flyable now since they are level 1 vehicles with this mod.

Legal disclaimer:I'm not responsible if this have any negative effects on your system or that maybe & all that legal mumbo-jumbo.

Enjoy & have a good Freelancer weekend !

He told you to rename it to an .ini Just need to read his post more closely

Looks like we're gonna have a really good mod community really soon after release, even without true mod support

I tried to do that... but it wouldn't let me save as because the image had not downloaded but I finally managed to download it using a different program

No good RD, I gave it a try and the Defender is still showing as a level 2 ship.

I don't really run this place but I have an understanding with the people who do.

Forgot to mention that you need to download the using "save target as" to desktop first then you rename the file to market_ships.ini then place it in your " C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer Trial\DATA\EQUIPMENT" folder,that's.

In other words.

1.Download using "save target as".

2.Rename the file to market_ships.ini

3.Place the file newly renamed file in your,"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer Trial\DATA\EQUIPMENT" folder which it will replace your current market_ships.ini

4.Make sure you start the game from scratch since save games will render the mod useless.

That's as about clear as I can put it for now,Enjoy!

RD, I think you screwed up and uploaded the unedited .ini file because this one is still compressed.

Sun Mar 02, 2003 5:12 am by Rheinland Destroyer

Doh,your right I had like 5 copies on desktop & didn't know which,my mistake.

Sun Mar 02, 2003 5:15 am by Rheinland Destroyer

Ok the correct file should be up now.Which is about 90 KB compared to the last.Just follow the instructions & it should work.

its pretty easy to do the same with the equipment dealer so you can purchase decent guns thrusters and mines.

Arrrghh, this is really great, but the real thing'll be out in a few days and I've got to spend that time doing my homework! But good work, anyway!

for those of us non-hacker inclined, could you put up some altered files for hacking the equipment files as well? all I see when I try to open them is squares and symbols, whereas the hacked ships thing is regular text.

If not, no biggy, I just got done pre-ordering this bad-ass game. I'll just wait. at least I get to fly the defender for a bit.
