I've found that with a number of the recent mods (Tekagi's Treasure, Discovery, Freeworlds) I've had issues with IDS Errors. I'm pretty frequently getting IDS? instead of ship names, or names of systems and objects will be blank. It's been especially bad with the Freeworlds 1.66, where even the text the menus doesn't display or only shows as IDS?

Programming isn't my strong suit, so I haven't tried going into the mods to find what the problem might be. Each of these mods was installed with FLMM v1.3 according to their instructions. (Usually with a fresh install of Freelancer.) I don't know if the OS being used is a factor, but I'm currently running Windows ME. (I think I have the only stable copy in existance. Five years running with few problems.) It's run other Freelancer mods with no problems, so I don't think it's the problem.

I ran a search of the forum and didn't see anyone else ask about this problem. At least not here. I'm not really sure who to ask about this, and this seemed like the best place to try.

Thanks.
