The JFLP is excellent but when running FLScan and FLErrorChecker I'd still get error notifications. Most, probably all of them are no big deal but my obsession with details wouldn't allow them to stand so I chased them all down so that those tools would come up clean leaving only errors related to any modding I was doing.

The errors I fixed never showed up as issues in the game. I'm sure I'm the only person in the world who worried about them.

DM me and I can give you the edits I made. You can decide if they're worth adding or not.

Tried it in both the keymap in the INTERFACE folder and in the keymap in the My Games/Freelancer folder.

Only the roll works.

Yup, that's exactly what I have but I only rotate, no slide left/right. Verified against a fixed object in space.

Thanks Adoxa, that works (all hail Adoxa!)

Jeider, how did you get both the strafe and rotate functions to work off one key? If I put it in keymap (strafe left and rotate clockwise to A, strafe right and rotate counter-clockwise to B). It only remembers the strafe commands.

When I try to map it in game it will only allow one function or the other.

I swear I tried opening it up before and just saw a bunch of gobbledygook...

I think the problem is in the *.fl file itself. The file is a savegame from trying out the Nomad Legacy mod. The restart.fl file can be opened and edited just fine, it just chokes on the autosave.fl file.

Any suggestions on what program to use to decompile the autosave.fl file so I can edit it in a text editor?

Same setup I have. flcodec.exe won't run even in WinXP mode and run as administrator, SaveEditor.exe won't open the un-decompiled *.fl file.

I'm trying to set up a WinXP VM to test it there but can't figure out how to get the VM to see the virtual HDD. Been working on it all day with no success.

I tried it out this morning. Really nice work. I especially like the effort that went into the base designs. One thing that always bugged me about FL is that so many of the bases looked like they'd been ordered out of a catalogue.

Obviously the Russian is an issue for we english speaking players. I had some difficulty figuring out what equipment was what, especially the equipment that is not standard vanilla equipment (scanners, armor plating, etc.)

I also like the barrel-roll feature. When I tried strafing (left/right slide) I found myself barrel-rolling in space which I thought was really cool. Does this replace strafe left/right or is it an additional maneuver? Any hints on how that's done? I'd like to add it to my mod.

The game told me to meed Alaric at the bar in Bismarck (I think but there was nobody there). I found him outside waiting for me when I undocked.

I'm stuck in a mission right now that's too much for my little ship and weapons so I have to figure my way out of that situation and I'm looking forward to continuing.
