Sounds better than my Console.

You should be careful editing constants. I had to fix Console, since it was possible to set cruise speed in SP, then switch to MP.

DATA\SCREENS\cursor.txm referenced by DATA\mouse.ini.

I didn't try from here, but I did get it fine from that other site.

My site has a text file containing all the vanilla names; CreateID & WhatIs can be used on mods (if you don't mind the command line).

So, does anybody remember how you hex edit a sur to set the correct ship mass for anti spin etc.

I told you, use SurDump and the -o option. For example:

At hex offset 44, you'll find three floats (aka single) containing the inertia values (surs don't have mass).

If the importer is crashing, it's probably a bad sur - create a log (or attach the sur and I'll have a look). The 1.1/1.2 exporters got it wrong (it's not type but count), which will cause the crash (it tries to read more than is present). 1.3 corrects that, but still has other issues. I'll get around to doing it properly one day.

SurDump has a -o option to show the offsets of what it dumps. As for 1.3, you're probably missing d3dx9_42.dll. You could also try the msSurImporter to see how it looks. One of these days one of us'll add sur viewing to the UTF Editor.

Single-player Command Console will, amongst other things, let you jump to any base or system.

If you have Stylish:

Console will let you jump directly to a target, which might help. I'd advise against using it in general during missions, though, it could cause other triggers to be missed. Alternatively, FL Hack or Hypercruise lets you use the cruise engine to jump between 25 and 50k.

Okay, had a look at the mod itself and I'm afraid it did work - the Armageddon is not for sale, you have to wait for an NPC to drop it (0.25%).

Looks like it will always spin, so Damage Per Fire has an option to make it simply disappear.

Assuming TNG doesn't do anything special, use FLStat to locate the torpedo and FL Hack's "Everything on Nav Map" option to locate the base (or if you're SP and impatient, Console to locate and then jump straight to it).

You wanted JFLP(dll), not (just) HUD Shift. It takes care of everything mentioned above.

Healing is a standalone plugin that allows negative damage for weapons and zones.

Spew is a plain text file, how can you not use it? In XP, you can find it at \Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Application Data\Freelancer\FLSpew.txt; I think this also works in Vista/7, due to symlinks. FLSpit is just a VBScript, so if it's not working, you could always just hardcode the path into it (I expect the script is working, but it's not finding the file? change SpewFolder).

As for why FL is not starting, that could be due to a previous save game (including the restart). Clear 'em out (within FLMM, use Tools|Open saved game folder).

That's one of the things I was going to look at after FLMM (as an extension of Territory).

Preserving MBase & MVendor, but replacing the rest of Li01_03_Base with the code above, it worked fine. Perhaps the room script you are using doesn't define any NPC positions?

If you add npc = ew0504_002_m to [BaseFaction], and change the bar to character_density = 4 (since 2 just means you and the bartender), you should see both NPCs at the bar.

Are you using Vista/7? Did you install to Program Files? If so, you need to right-click FLModManager.exe and "Run As Administrator". Alternatively, disable UAC.
