Hi there!
If your problem is what I think it is, and the hardpoint is there but has no engine, you want to look at your entry in shiparch.ini and check that the num_engine_nozzles line is set to 2.Hope this helps!

The TSP Wiki Modding Database is, in my opinion, one of the crown jewels of the Starport. It's also sadly a bit neglected, and has an awful lot of gaps where files haven't been documented.
I've been trying to fill things out as I'm working things out (Mostly been in the scripts folder but where I've figured out anything new outside of that I've tried to update as well.) The MDB has been a great resource in the past to direct people to if they have no freelancer modding experience at all, but there's so many gaps it's only really good for a few fairly specific things right now. The wiki's a pretty old version of mediawiki being used, but the formatting hasn't really changed at all so if you're familiar with modern mediawiki it shouldn't be any trouble to create or edit pages. I'm going to start filling in what I know where it's missing, but would anyone be interested in helping out and making an initiative of this?

Just jumping back to answer my own question for reference! Callum in the Librelancer Discord server kindly provided a structure that lightprops in thorn scenes seems to follow. It can be found here:

I think the offset for what you asked about has already been provided in the Discord (FLHack is also a really easy way to do it if you don't want to muck about with hex editors), but it might also be worth looking at the Limit Breaking 101 Page on the wiki for additional stuff.
You can remove the EULA when MP is started the first time as well but modifying ebueula.dll (217C, 00 -> 01).

There's a Discord that's affiliated with TSP that's excellent for Freelancer chat. A link can be found in the sidebar.
As for forum software, currently TSP uses Xoops. There's been talk of switching away to something more modern for years, but it would be quite a bit of work to get the database converted so we could set up on the new forums I think! It will probably happen eventually, but there isn't really any sort of timeframe for it to happen right now sadly.

I've noticed similar problems with registration! We've had a few folks on the Discord complain that they can't get the registration form to work properly at all. It's a very old site so issues like this are to be expected I suppose
 The current workaround seems to be trying different browsers, so you could give that a go?

I'll have a look at it! There's a few offsets here that I haven't put in as I'm not really familiar with converting from relative to absolute/etc and not want to completely muck things up. If anyone who's a bit more knowledgeable feels like adding stuff I missed that'd be really great.

Are you running any mods or patches? There are some scripting issues with 1.4 sdk, and I think with the jflp patch. Should be a bit easier to diagnose things if you can tell us what you're running freelancer with!

Not sure if this will fix it, but you could try swapping the 1.20 jflp.dll included with the patch with the 1.23 one available on adoxa's site if you've not already tried it.
What's the problem exactly? I'm aware there are issues with jflp and missions but not exactly sure what they are. Does the game crash, or are you just waiting for something to happen indefinitely? If it's the latter it might be something a scripting tweak can fix.

I've done my best to collate the offsets in this thread into a wiki page. Still a bit of a mess, and I've probably missed a few. Please feel free to add/adjust stuff as you all see fit! Figured it'd be a bit easier to search through this page than the entire thread.

While I'm aware there are pins and the whole forum below this is filled with tool listings, I figured it would be sensible to have a central post linking out to everything. There's a lot of dead links and undocumented tools out there and it might be helpful if folks didn't have to pick through the forums bit by bit in order to find what they need.
I'll do my best to keep this post updated. If I've missed any tools or there's anything terribly wrong below, please post in the thread or @ me on Discord!

Does anyone have a better guide to the lightprops section handy?
I've been working off the guide but i'm having trouble working out what does what, and in what format. From a lot of my own testing it appears cutoff and range don't seem to do anything (but apparently they do?) and I don't really have much of a handle on how any of the parameters should look/be adjusted aside from diffuse which is fortunately quite obvious.The end goal is to use the date() function to adjust the relevant parameters based on the time and parse them into the lightprops table so it's fairly easy to create working day/night scripts for planets. I'm just not sure what to adjust!If anyone could help out I'd really appreciate it.

Timestamps in FLSpew are <3. Any chance of getting these for the server console output as well? (thanks so much for this)

One to add from Laz's crash hopper:
Code: Patrol encounter contains a faction that is not defined in the related base's [BaseFaction] entries.
