Babylon 5 mod fix for some who need it like me!
hi hope this clears up some probs as i have had.
my prob was when i launched, the freelacer would close and minimize on the desktop. and would not reopen. Some one addressed this in another forum, but i wanted to clarify it a lil better.
when u install the B5 mod, the installer is in German (which i can;t read-lol), and set for a euro windows install.
how i fixed mine.
US windows freelancer dir is x:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer
Euro is x:\Programme\Microsoft Games\Freelancer
x= your "C:" drive for example
the Default install is to the Euro spec.
it took me a while without reading the readme to do this as it installed the mod to euro spec on my machine
I play on non modded servers also so i just backed up my entire ORIGNAL freelancer folder and put it on my other partition... then i copied the folder the mod installed in "programme" folder over my Original freelancer. as in I clicked "YES" to "there is a folder already called freelacer do you want to copy over it" dialogue.
it worked fine.
this mod has several bugs, but given time and some work it can be a great mod for the B5ers out there. I see it is a great work in progress.
altho i see ships in it not in B5 :\ i.e starwars, battlestar galactica etc.

to many files have to be changed... i played it on the server called just "Babylon 5" under the server info it said b5 by killermatrix.no-ip,org or something that is the only one i have used.
