I'm assuming you're using the Discovery Freelancer FLHook. From what I remember, that repository requires boost 1.60, so that's probably where your error is coming from. I can't actually remember Disco's FLHook that well, but that'd be my first guess.

Anything more will require some more information, as you've just said base plugin, which doesn't really provide any real detail about the error itself.

Afternoon everyone, I am wondering if anyone has any information on the limitations of the FL INIReader. After doing some stuff with @Alex. we discovered that there seems to be a limitation of the inireader - we specifically tested with get_value_string(void)

The best way I can describe it is that when reading a ini/cfg file it will get to the 1024 character and treat it as if it's the end of the line. I discovered the issue when using these files to store XML strings, then everything was suddenly failing without any indication as to the cause.

While I've got a workaround for the time being, I am curious if there is any solution to this, or perhaps just more information as to why it occurs (I could hazard a guess, but certainty is always more preferable).

Any and all information on this would be appreciated.

Kind Regards,
Laz

I use Hexplorer, https://sourceforge.net/projects/hexplorer/ . It's pretty easy to use. You jump to offsets and edit their special values and other such stuff.

Regarding Adoxa's patch, I applied it first, but not the entire thing. I simply picked what elements I wanted from it then built those components into a DLL (with Adoxa's help since I had no idea what I'm doing).

Vertical strafing is only cheating on servers that state such and don't use it. Many mods currently have it implemented because it's a useful feature. The only one I could point you to is Discovery, however, as I've not used others that extensively.

Most mods have been fleshed out to the point where the original point can't be seen. Many mods like Freeworlds and Discovery simply created their own "patches" rather than using others.

I for one have used community assets and mixed and matched them around the place to create a nice blend of features, while still retaining a Vanilla "feel".

Freelancer is still around, and people still love this age old game. The bulk of players are around Discovery, Crossfire, and Freeworlds.

I do know there are multiple on going mod projects, and I know of three/four potential new mods that are currently in the works, don't know if they'll ever get released or if they will be good, however.

Most new FL developments happen with Discovery and Freeworlds to my knowledge.

That sounds fun, I'll give that a go.

Hey everyone. I know it's possible for CMPs to be created for custom animations and the like as I've seen it used in various mods.

The problem I'm facing is the lack of tutorials or any information imminently available here or elsewhere. There is the possibility I've not looked hard enough but I can't find any resources on animating CMP files other than folding wings.

What I'm aiming for is the create an animated jumpgate using a model that has already been correctly rigged and animated in blender. I doubt you can export a model and its animations into a CMP file, but we know it can work in that form at least.

What I'm wondering is whether anyone has any knowledge that they'd be willing to share with me to help me animate this model.

I look forward to hearing your responses.

Maybe I should have been more specific. What I meant was, given how FL acts, are there any presets or configurations designed specifically for FL or ones that go with FL particularly well.
