do post the crash offset and i'm sure adoxa will have a look once he gets back. if you're lucky maybe even one of the other reverse engineers is able to help.

use this to decrypt the file (the game also reads them in plain text format):
http://the-starport.net/freelancer/do ... nglefile.php?cid=2&lid=24

restart.fl can be deleted anytime, all it is there for is to make the game start up faster. (sort of a cache, re-created if it doesn't exist)

edit:
also note the [Player] section, by default looking something like this:

[Player]
name = Trent
...
system = FP7_system
pos = 3216,1314,-21775
rotate = 175,-15,179.8

you can change it to:

[Player]
name = Trent
...
system = Li01
base = Li01_01_Base

as an example.

in my opinion the best way is to edit newplayer.fl for the following reasons:
no hex edits and/or changes to mission files required, doesn't use force land command.

simply put this in newplayer.fl: (credits to adoxa)
[StoryInfo]
ship_bought = true
Mission = No_Mission
MissionNum = 42; 41 for version 1.0
delta_worth = -1
debug = 0

the only thing is you have to delete restart.fl if it already existed prior to editing newplayer.fl.

thank you and happy new year.
well i pretty finished all the .dll stuff, so i made a clone of fled-ids with new features and fixes.
i'm deciding whether to release it -trying to contact the original author, or change the interface and maybe even add more new things.
when i have the .ini stuff done i will start to release code, the .utf and d3d stuff will follow.

well i guess there are those who think the same and those who pretend they don't care.
your mod definitely sounds interesting, i think you should maybe try to recruit someone but shouldn't join another team.
from what i read it is too much (good) work that would be lost unless all would be integrated into another mod.
i like diversity and people to realize their own ideas, but that's just my opinion.

it's been a while since i played with that, but from what i remember the code to get/set the path for loading the .dll file doesn't work right.
once i rewrote it in .net style and it did work.

here is a basic checklist what could make LoadLibrary function fail:
1.1. "AppPath" found in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\1.0" doesn't exist.
1.2. "EXE" directory doesn't exist inside "AppPath".
1.3. "common.dll" file doesn't exist inside "EXE" directory.
2. RegOpenKeyEx function fails.
3. SetExeDirectory function fails.

here is the code snippet that worked for me:

Code:

using namespace Microsoft::Win32;

using namespace System::IO;



Common::Common(bool loadres)

{

String^ cwd = Directory::GetCurrentDirectory();

Object^ reg = Registry::GetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Microsoft Games\\Freelancer\\1.0", "AppPath", nullptr);

if (reg != nullptr) Directory::SetCurrentDirectory(String::Concat(reg->ToString(), "\\EXE"));

...

Directory::SetCurrentDirectory(cwd);

}

so you could either debug and fix the original code or use .net, which i recommend anyway.
hope it helped.

meshes are triangulated while wireframes are lines, that is a significant difference which makes using one type for the other complicated. at one point i thought about making a wireframe tool that would let you build the wireframe lines by clicking on the vertices connecting them in a kind of 3d editor.

the program expects the [SystemInfo] section in the file.
that is to identify system files when working with directories.
there might be a better solution, but thats how it works, put the section and it should be ok. seems i forgot that in the readme file, sorry about that.
as for myself im no longer into freelancer, havent checked this site for months, but i still have the source and maybe one day ill be back.

äh, da erwarte ich mir schon ne einleitende erklärung der strings in dlls im allgemeinen. freelancer.ini, fortlaufende nummerierung, usw.
etwas aktuellere tools wie fled ids, fl dev oder adoxas frc tool.
aktualität finde ich da schon wichtig (es gibt immernoch leute die sich an drizzt's ship tut halten oder icons in milkshape erzeugen), und auch korrektes deutsch bitte.
