So, you reformatted your hard drive, eh?
Problems with FLEx, data cards, and the .dll for your mod...

Sorry mate, I'm not psychic here..
If you don't mind.. post here what you did (in detail)
to get where you are now?
1. Installed Freelancer (check)
2. Installed FL SKDK first?(what version and where did you install it)
3. Installed FL Explorer ? (what version)
4. How about your mod .dll? What version of the SDK and FLEx did you use to create it before you had to reformat?
(Just want to help you check all your angles here)

I think you perhaps may have a bad blank .dll file, FLE has one called empty_resources.dll which it copies to one named my_mod.dll and then inserts the new infocards and string tables into it.

Look for it, it may even not be there perhaps. But if it is, then you may need a new copy, or download FLE again and re-install it.

Let us know the fix, I'm curious.

Something to the dlls. Lately my FLE goes strange on that. When something I insert into a system and it uses a name that is allready in my mods dll FLE takes this one. But if I enter a new name, FLE allways wants to create a new dll.

Thanks Startrader, It works now. I reinstalled FLE and I no Longer Recive the Error. I'm Guessing you were right then.
Thanks Mate

Oh Damn... Then again. It doesn't. I Don't know what version of FLE I Used at first. is there a way of telling?

I got it working. I replaced the empty_resources.dll with my own Mod's DLL. It works fine now.

Good news.

FLE requires registry entries to function properly. When you reformat or reinstall windows you have to also reinstall FLE, just copying the files doesn't work. Something to remember in the future.

And can you tell me something about my problem, Lova-Deus?

Simple really. FLE only edits its own DLL files. Once you rename the DLL and define it in freelancer.ini the editor can no longer see it or edit it, so it will always create a new file.

the dll was created by FLE. I just moved it into the EXE-folder.

That's your problem, you went and moved it. Leave it where FLE makes it, then when you activate your mod FLMM puts it in the EXE folder and adds it to the freelancer.ini for you.
