Do you have the FLErrorChecker program? I can't find it in the downloads section although it might be in a utilities package somewhere.

I'm running out of ideas without being able to actually see what's going on with your machine.

Go to the MS website here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26
and download and install the package. Even if it says that 4.8 is installed, install this one as well.

Could try this program https://the-starport.net/modules/wfdow ... nglefile.php?cid=2&lid=22 and see if it helps isolate the errors.

Yeah, so now you've got the mod installed but FLMM can't understand the way the scripting is formatted in the mod or, your game files have already been modded and things the scripts are looking for have been changed from what it expects to find.

I suppose the next step now would be to restore the original inis if they've been changed to see if the mod runs then. If not you'll have to track down each error message in the mod and fix the scripting issues that are preventing activation. The scifi universe mod is pretty big, that could take a while.

You might remove all the scripts except for the script.xml file and start with that one. If it runs properly add each script in one at a time until it fails. Then fix that script and continue.

That's how I got my start in modding years ago, just trying to figure out how others did what they did. Learned a lot that way. Got a lot of help from many people as well.

Try downloading it from my server. I repackaged it and it installed into FLMM 2.0e just fine although I'm getting errors in the syntax in the files possibly because FLMM 2.0e handles the scripts a little differently I think.

I think that's a normal error.

Where do you see the message that the files are corrupted? Is it something that FL generates or something that FLMM generates?

Lemme try something.

Look in your Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Freelancer folder for a file called flspew.txt, see if it gives any clues.

It says the files are corrupted or does it say the mod failed to load?

If FLMM says the mod failed to load it should give you an indication on where the problem(s) lies.

If it says the files are corrupted can you open the file using 7zip?

Perhaps you can unzip them with 7zip and rezip them with winzip or rezip them as a zip file instead of a 7z file.
