Greetings and welcome to the Freelancer Community.

I watched your series and the gameplay and video quality are very good. I like it.

but for episode one you used my 20th anniversary / Community Event Intro, I have nothing against it but I would be happy if you give me credit for it "XxSARGExX979".

you should join our Discord server https://discord.com/invite/c6wtsBk

In there i can give you the 20th-anniversary intro as a complete file with or without the logo.

Thanks skotty,
This would sound great if you can help us with this Chapter, we will upload the ships to give you an closer look. But we dont want to share the ships at this moment so we will send you a PN.

Thanks in advance

Hey ho

one of my friends constructed a few ships for my mod. Simply a few advanced Freelancer Vanilla models.

All works fine in the game, The .cmp works fine, The hitbox or .sur works fine either.

but....my Freelancer Server Console gives me this error !!!! and i dont know what the hell this means and what does this Error exactly do! the game works fine ! without crashes

Error from Console :

E:\FL\Scratch\Source\Common\PhyArch.cpp(254) : *** ERROR: File(ships\bretonia\BR_VERYHEAVY\br_vheavy_fighter.sur) Part(308842285) contains unrecognized info type. Aborting.

thanks in advance for any help

Hey ho Modding Club

i have a two important Questions about Random Missions !

First question i have :

How i create Mission Target Zones and connect them to the Bases so that i can accept them in the Bar or by Chars who offer Missions

because i have a little problem with my setup, So that is my Situation :

I created a new System "Tau-41" and placed two bases (1) Freeport 11 (Zoner Base , Bounty hunters offers Missions) / (2) Base Selina (Outcast Base , Outcasts offers Missions)

i red a few Tutorials about Create Missions and i worked in this new System i have fully functional Randommissions BUT!!!!

now i have created a new faction and a base in Edinburgh. i changed the Pop_Zones and added my faction to the patrols and Defend encounters - all fine from here. But now i want my new faction to offers missions so i also set up Zones and all the remaning stuff that i´ve done before and......no Missions ! the Missionboard says all the time "No Mission!.." here is my setup from all the ini´s

give me your feedback pls

I have found many of this engines in some other inis that i never modify so i dont think so .

and i have another question :
Error Checker says that in many of Ships not have the hp_bay_surface
hp_bay_external

oh yeah thx it helps alot. Now i start to create my own engine effects thx

if the work is finished i can show you the new enginge fx if you want
