Please help

You need the ResHacker program from the tools section.

You wanna open this file with it:

freelancer\exe\resources.dll

This dll has info for:
The "dont recognize Graphix card" pop up
Button text
Mouseover info
Story mission text
.other text

Look for the function in the drop down menus that says "search" or "find"

And search for the text you see on the buttons.........

find em and mod em

FLDev's easier to use for that, if you want. It can edit resources.dll easily.

Here's one I made ages ago. I thought it was posted here, but I can't find it; maybe it was a PM. This is a BPatch file.

Code:
# Remove the "NEW GAME" and "LOAD GAME" buttons on the main menu.
# Jason Hood, 28 November, 2009.

File: Freelancer.exe
174634: E8 47 E5 EA FF 83 7C 24 50 01 77  [ C7 44 24 70 00 00 00 00 C7 44 24 ]
        11 DB 05 4C 46 57 00 EB 0D        [ 74 00 00 00 00 C7 44 24 78 ]
1746CA: 00 00   [ 80 3E ]
174707: 00 00   [ 80 3E ]

To keep load, change the 01 to 00 and delete the 174707 line.

@ Destroyer of worlds
Use Freelancer Developer

@Ezekiel
Why would you want to do that?? I strongly suggest you don't remove that button, people delete and create accounts all of the time. If you remove that button, they'll simply use a different multiplayer key to create additional accounts.

Cheers,
Rik

I want to do that, because we use FLSES, and when player create a char, delete it and create it aain with the exact same name, it's resukt in some database error, like unique key violation etc...

For deleting account, players must fill a form on our website, so that we can delete it completly before they can reuse the same name, without crashing our DB
