Hi there,
I just started to scan all the ini files (ok, I know I'm a bit late with that ) . Does anybody know what is the use of DATA\concave.ini? There seems to be nothing in the Forums

Greetings,
Matthias

How do I get the game to access the updated hud and targeting radars that were taken out of the game, as well as the higher level neural net/autopilot programs?

I'd like to play around using those.

Thanks!

How do I get weapons like the nomad laser on my ship? Or shields like the Champion shield?

Concave.ini? Aint got a clue, had a peek and it looks like parts of stuff that might be, well, like.. concave? Basically if it hasn't ever been mentioned there is good reason,it does sod all that we know of, or people know what it does and its nothgin good (ie, its the location of CMP files and 3bd files for the surface of concave things......

okay - the upgrade hud?? I take it that you mean the radar that showed stuff up as blips right? Basically if you read the thread, there is not a way as they were removed from the game itself. It was early screenshots. In fact, the radar jammer aint working either, it was left out- just a name in the game so to speak......

For the nomad lasers and champ shields - been on MP eh? Liked someone elses weapons? Well, You can get them easily, and if anyone gives them too you they can be mounted........however, not for MP you don't get it!! I am not here to make cheaters on servers worse okay - so here it is for SP!
Open up the market_misc.ini and scroll to your base of choice (manhatten here)
[BaseGood
base = Li01_02_base
MarketGood = co_gun01_mark01, 0, -1, 10, 10, 0, 1
MarketGood = co_gun01_mark02, 0, -0.200000, 10, 10, 0, 1
MarketGood = co_turret01_mark01, 0, -1, 10, 10, 0, 1
MarketGood = co_turret02_mark01, 0, -1, 10, 10, 0, 1

You see all this ya?
Okay, add these lines:-
MarketGood = shield01_mark10_hf, 0, -1, 10, 10, 0, 1
MarketGood = nomad_gun01_mark03, 0, -1, 10, 10, 0, 1

The first numberafter the equipment is the level to purchase - 0 in these cases
the second is the rep,-1 means can buy when they want to kill you, s for the rest? Dunno - never bothered touching them....if its working, why investigate and fiddle i say!!
There we go, and sorry bout the grilling, but this isn't a thread for 'I want to mod stupidly online in MP to gain an advantage and be a pain in the arse' thread, else accushot would have called it that.
Also- try and sell stuff like that in MP will get you kicked and banned for cheating if they have the patch on................

K i tired the intialworld.ini edit for the gates client side and server side but didn't have much joy.
Does this mean that caractor info will have to be edited to as this wouldn't be very viable for a public

Sorry shadowfire - didn't mean to be that presumptous. its just with wassups post about the cloak, Calgary disappearing and the recent flood of requests through both posts and email here, like everyone else, people are getting wary of handing out 'certain' info. I too have also had abuse hurled at me by people wanting something i denied until i left the server, i have also had two people msn me from my profile, and sending me their mods to be fixed. I did this, but now i have them constantly trying to chat to me through msn whilst i concentrate on converting 10 system shells (has just a light, a sun and a planet with a jumpgate/hole and a little patrol) into vibrant systems worthy of being included into a mod. It goes without saying that for one person, in 5 days (time limit i have set) to get it right, AND debugged, i have alot on. I don't mean / wish to be rude, but even after informing people of this, they still msn me. It now means i don't sign on to my AIM account anymore, and soon my email might have to change. Just sorry that it appeared to be aimed at you is all..........

as for the initialworld.ini - i haven't tried it out on a server yet - have you tried it and got a person to connect and test the gate?
I have to ask.........i might useit too!

Yeah i edited the intialworld.ini server side and client side but the gates still say 'access denied'.
only thing i can think of is the list of locked gates in the charactor profile might need editing to.

RE: the comment about ppl pestering you
I know the feeling..i map for HL's TFC and get bothered constantly to 'fix this' or 'how do i do this' so i do feel for you.. i really do.

Hmm - think that (don't know, aint been fiddlin with MP stuff yet.....no server) that there must be also a player character that does this though.......
like mpnewcharacter.fl - but i have no idea, as i personally don't have anything capable of opening it. Mind you, i am sure that this is server side only modding, so check your files, see if you can find something about that part. I know that frostworks do it, so you could also email the ripperman or post on their forums
Frost Works Forums
other than that - till i find out myself (which is on my list - lol) i can't be much more help!!

I understood the code was still in the beta, as well as the code for the advanced neural net services (e.g. multiple waypoint tracking, waypoint tracking through jump holes, etc.). Doesn't anyone have a copy of the beta for the source to initiate this?

Ah well.

Are any of the developers still around or did Microsoft close up Digital Anvil and terminate everyone? The DA website seems dead, so I'm wondering. Any sales statistics on FL?

Unfort- no-one has a copy of beta - as you mighta guessed - how lucky would we be?
as for the rest of it, no idea, sorry mate. I know it looks cool, but think that lot is a lost chase.....

Darn, I thought the beta got distributed like other betas (I have the Starlancer Beta and the Crimson Sky Beta kicking around my house, etc.) to select members of the gaming community.

BTW, how portable is the code between Starlancer and Freelancer? Seems they should have recycled that, did they? Might provide a link.

Guess I need to try to run down a copy of the Freelancer Beta.

Chips any chance you could help out again ?
I need a new station made in sigma 17 near the destroyed FP7 that sells unique weps,rippers,clvl 10 sheilds and eagle and have rep for outcast,corsairs and have a unique name for my server.

hopefully this will only be a server side mod

I'd also be intrested if its possible to make admin only jump holes/gates

That wouldn't be too much of a challenge, except FP7 aint in sig 17/19 - its in the FP7 system. What was wrong with your base by the way? - if its just for MP and admin is gonna mod his server nice, we could *ahem* make some interesting planets dockable - my usual one is sprague in omega7 - no-one goes there - um - ever i think
Or one in top corner magellan - never visited - etc etc
Only prob is i am a little busy.......hmm - it could be done, in about a day i suppose, but give me all the details (whining about sig17 cos i have to go out there to check its okay -there are remote planets and bases all over the place - like prison near deshima staion, prison in hamburgh near jumphole to berlin etc
check sig for why busy.......lol
