Also, if there is text on the clipboard, it will automatically give you the CRC for whatever text is there.

Unlike other Freelancer mods, HU does not change the freelancer combat system but it does add several new systems including but not limited too our very own Ringworld and NewMars systems. <b>HostileUniverse Plus! </b> Description: This mod does not require HostileUniverse v8 but is designed to provide extra ships and weaponary that are aimed at this mod in terms of balance.

After much research, trail, error, and frustration, I´ve finally gotten it down. Now I´ll share it in complete detail with everyone else. I purposely made this tutorial very detailed so that absolutely anyone would be able to follow it. Therefore, I beg forgiveness from the more artistically adept amongst you. Or, for that matter, the more technically savvy. Lots of screenshots are included in this tutorial to make it even easier. I use Photoshop 7, so the explanations and images here reflect my preference in image editing software. If yours is different, you should still be able to follow along.

If you don´t want to go to all the trouble of loading IIS on your PCs at home, there is a freeware ASP compliant web server that has no problem running this application. It´s called Baby Web Server, it´s about 300k in size and takes minutes to install and configure. Take a look if you want to use this application at home while playing the game. The URL for Baby Web Server is on the download page. After a few hours sleep Acid got a brain wave and has revamped most of the inner workings of the FLTT application to make version 4.1 run a little faster and make the changes a little more global. This application is more of a data browser, which allows people to look at a large array of data in different ways. The first screen comes up and asks you where you are, you select a station and then the application shows you what that station sells, and where you can sell those commodities for a higher price. There is also nav data for the base, etc. There is also a system detail page which shows you where all the bases and jump holes are, and there is information on ships and weapons as well. On the list pages for the weapons and ships the info can be sorted by clicking on the appropriate column heading. There is also a commodities summary page which gives you the min sell and the max buy locations for each commodity, and shows the maximum profit possible for the commodity. <A href=´http://www.lancersreactor.org/t/download/download.asp?id=813´ Target=_Blank> <img src=´http://www.lancersreactor.org/images/news/bp120.gif ´> the Freelancer Trading Tool Version 4.1 </a> <A href=´http://www.lancersreactor.org/t/download/download.asp?id=800´ Target=_Blank> <img src=´http://www.lancersreactor.org/images/news/s241.jpg ´> </a> <b>FL-Creator English Version made by Paddy </b> FL Creator in English.
