First question: - You should create a new MP character with the name you want. - Then rename your SP saved game file. - Do not delete the new character file yet. - Next you should use the <A href=´http://www.lancersreactor.org/t/Download/Download.asp?ID=419´ Target=_Blank>FL Save Editor</a>. It´s simple and quirky (you have to open the FL saved game file <i>twice </i> for a saved game file to appear) but it works. Open both the SP and new character saved game files (yes, FL Save Editor should be open in two different windows). - In the new character file, copy the hexidecimal string in the box on the line beginning with "name =", copy no spaces. - Paste this string into the SP character file, replacing the hexidecimal string after "name =". Keep the spaces as they were! Don´t delete or add more space(s). - SAVE the SP character then encode. - Delete the new character and place the newly modified SP character into the same directory where the new character used to be. - Done! This way will be the most complete and errorless way of renaming a character. Happy flying! Second question: - After say you invite your son, he should see the guy holding up his hand in the little menu in the top, right of his screen. It´s actually the left most icon and it should be red. - Click on that and it will prompt you to accept the invite. - If the grouping is successful you should see both players in the chat screen with the same group number. - Selecting Group Chat in the chat screen will result in magenta-colored chat messages between everyone in the group regardless of location. Up to eight players can be in a group.

I´ve never gotten any errors using FL Save Editor except for the quirkyness I mentioned before. All I can suggest is have you tried more than one file? It will work on any SP or MP saved game file. Did you make a copy of the FL saved game file and insure all the permissions are set to edit it? This should be done already but you never know. If this doesn´t work you may have to try other editors out there as the authors of FL Save Editor doesn´t seem to support it any more. _____________ Earendil SysAdmin of Boston Freelancer server Server community website & forum: <A href=´http://www.earendilsplace.net/´ Target=_Blank>EarendilsPlace.net</a> (<A href=´http://www.earendilsplace.net/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=153´ Target=_Blank>server rules</a>)

Try downloading the FL Save Editor again. It´s possible that your original download was corrupted. Also, you don´t mention which OS you´re using. Perhaps listing some specs of your computer will help better discern the trouble. We had no problem....other than having to figure out the ´quirkiness´ and get it to work. It worked great for us and we´ve been having a blast with the MP play on our home LAN. Edited by - Dyre Straits on 2/20/2005 10:58:12 PM

hmm.. ah yes, Runtime error, so we meet again! hehe Runtime error is a known, and usually lethal, error that *usually* occors on People who run slow progs on to fast comps. It is an enemy of any abandonwhere junky and It´s also more common on XP. There are very few fixes to this problem and I have found only one, and it works, *usually* Another problem is that there are alot of "types" of Runtime errors. I have found, after many hors of searching, a fixer for "Runtime Error 200" witch plagued me for a long time. The best place for you to start your search is at Google. I am afraid I can be of no more assistance to you, but rest assured, that I feel your pain. Many a night I have downloaded abandonware, abandonware that brings forth a Surge of Nostalga that few have or will ever know, only to be laid to waste by the Fiend that is, RUNTIME ERROR!! God´s speed, And good luck ForceUser ps. yes, It *IS* that dramatic Edited by - ForceUser on 3/3/2005 3:17:13 PM
