Do you suppose it could be related to a player's freelancer.exe file? If they have a modded file that say adds the Order, or maybe even a faction from another mod, could that generate this error?

General Discussion::Cursing - A reason to ban???
You know - a lot depends on the context.

If it is not directed at anyone, then it can be let go. But if it is aimed at someone with clear offence intended then of course no.

It is up to the admins to overlook or not if it is in retaliation to the other person commencing hostilities. We have all done this in response, be honest - someone will drive us all to it eventually.

On our servers we uphold 3 rules only:- to play and behave with Fairness, Sportsmanship and Honour towards all other players at all times. These cover everything.

Keep it Simples!

General Discussion::We still have an hope for Freelancer's source code
Well this could be easily implemented if W0dk4 releases the source for the dx8-9 upgrade. All that has to be done is pull the locations of the ships, render them inside of a sphere mesh onto a render target, then add it as a post-processing effect. It's the same method I'm going to use. Already tried rendering the mesh directly to the screen but with the inherent matrix instabilities, it shook alot. Same reason a ship shakes at the edge of a system.

Damn, if you haven't tried this gamma setting yet, you should take a look just out of interest. Fly into the badlands and you wish you could light a candle and stick it on the dashboard it's so dark, the lightning is really effective all of a sudden, when you fly back out the sun just blinds the hell out of you for a few moments. Much better than bloom.

Well as far as I know you need just one video card if you want to use two monitors.
Using 3 or more monitors will need an additional video card (+ the resolution of the left and right monitor needs to be same if you're using more then two).
That's the last info I had.. Maybe it has changed meanwhile.

Hey, i managed to get a basic starting page/text document for you guy's to look at any comments/criticisms are welcome i advise you use word wrapping because i didn't break the lines. just one thing, if you are helping with this i think it would be good to add your own foreword with mine just about modifing freelancer, it's a bit corny but hay, once you leave this community maybe you will inspire others with your words

Take a look at it and i need feedback!

And also ensure you delete your ...\My Documents\My Games\Freelancer folder completely, it probably has saved games from the mod in it..

After I learned what to do, I have never needed to play with the registry, nor fully uninstall the game - just deleted my \Freelancer game folder and the "My Games\Freelancer" folders and re-install from my CD and everything is always fine.

I also have a Virtual CD/DVD drive and converted my FL and other CDs to .iso files and use them by mounting in the Virtual CD/DVD drive.

I use Virtual Clone Drive, it's free and superb:

General Discussion::are there any tutorial on server side modding
i was think on working on a server side patch . for a month i was playing around with it with some sucess and failure. the mod i planned to make is this you start off at the rouge base i forgot the name brain fart i guess. well an outcast female finds your escape pod floating in space and returns you there she gives you a dagger and you have to equip it. now i want to put battle ships and nomad order econters. my question is this i used script files to do this can i stiil use those scrit files xml script?now the player chooses to be a rouge or just leave the base with a neautral rep. what happens is the mod crashes when my ship leaves the rouge base . is vthis because of the mod script? i have to wait to build my xp computer my windows 7 does not work with a error checker.

If you change the structure of particularly popular entries (like the one w0d pointed to), it might be a good idea to leave redirection pages so as not to lose ranking on search engines.

Otherwise, just go for it. The wiki was built so the community could make it as good as it can be

General Discussion::/v/lancer strikes again?
I agree with a lot of what WHY say's, love his work too, but at the same time, FF makes the best possible point really. Take a look at this place, if it wasn't for them providing a place where people could actually learn a thing or two about modding freelancer, then how the hell would anyone be able to do it in the first place.

You have to give thanks to the fact that they tell you how to do it, to then gut their mods of materials and use their guides to insert them into your own mod is just pissing in their face. Add to that the fact that someone could come onto their site and #$%% all over them aswell by advertising the fact that they have ripped the materials from their mod and apparently done a better job with them.... Well, in most places that kind of person would no longer have a voice in that place.

Therefore, I have to agree with FF, it's all about attitude.

As I've said before, I really bloody wish they would all get themselves and their materials together and make one almighty starport mod, it might be a clash of personalities and styles but their would be no arguments about who owns what and who has permission to use what, they own it all already. Screw twenty great mods, have one mutha of all to rule all and one community to bring it all together for one last stand. I know, it will never happen.....
