Even untextured they look good! ut one thing that bugged me about the original game was the size of the gun models in relation to the ship.
It's no so bad with HF and VHF but LF's fitted with HUGE guns just look ridiculous, I'd suggest having several scaled weapons for the different ship classes.
Another option is to have the weapon emitter inside a housing that opens when the weapons are activated, it never made any sense all that expensive hardware hung on outside the ship.

@ Hidamari, the closest approximation to gravity in FL is adding drag modifiers to Zones as below last line.

[zone]
nickname = Zone_PL08_2_to_PL08_1_hole
pos = -120001, 0, -60001
shape = SPHERE
size = 4000
property_flags = 131072
visit = 128
sort = 0
interference = 0.010000
drag_modifier = 2

It will slow the non cruise and thruster speed significantly although there's no effect on cruise engine flight.
I think 5 is the maximum suggested for the drag modifier as beyond this the ship may get stuck (never tried 5 myself so it may be worth playing around with different settings)

Tried the two files by copying the ones from Genesis the game does start when the new game button is hit but it opens into the FP7 intro scene and crashes soon after, thx for the info as it is progress

Is there an open SP starter pack like the TCM one? I could build the mod files around that if there was.

Thx again guys!

I'm interested in converting an old mod to open single player as I can't get the server to run on win 7 (fine on XP but my old XP box has finally died) but have no idea where to start.

Has anyone got a guide/tutorial on converting mods to open single player?

Thx in advance!

Hi there have a look at the thread in the link

http://the-starport.net/freelancer/fo ... t_id=55073#forumpost55073

Download the zip attached to my post and read Giskards system building from scratch it's a great starting point or refresher course.

I'd also recommend FL Mod Studio as an excellent tool for modidng systems

I think creating a new commodity would be the best approach as you want it to be sold at only one location and bought at multiple locations at different prices.

[BaseGood]
base = Br01_01_base
MarketGood = commodity_cardamine, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1
MarketGood = commodity_Uranium, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 10
MarketGood = commodity_Chlorine, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1
MarketGood = commodity_Sodium, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1
MarketGood = commodity_Coal, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1
MarketGood = commodity_construction_machinery, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 10
MarketGood = commodity_sidearms, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 96
MarketGood = commodity_food, 0, 0, 150, 500, 0, 1
MarketGood = commodity_luxury_food, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1
MarketGood = commodity_pharm, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 190
MarketGood = commodity_engine_components, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1



The code block above is from New London market_commodity.ini entry and the only item for sale is food. of the others Uranium, construction_machinery, sidearms and pharm will pay more than the basic selling rate by factors of 10, 10, 96 and 190.

These numbers define the selling price of these items at this base so 10 x basic selling rate etc...... see below for adding a new commodity and FL Companion
