Might contain what u need, FL Tools

Not checked as i dont have it downloaded and decompressed atm, but will have somet to intrerest u im sure.

1. FL System Editor

2. FL Data Storm

Both do the jobs u need i belive, not sure if there hosted here.
Check the downloads section.

Else FLTools pack is on ModDB
Large download for just 2 items but will have all your lookin for Link

Sorry i only just noticed your post

Good to hear u fixed it
If you read the readme's it states just install Freelancer then the mod then the character editor.
You dont need to install the 1.1 or 1.4 patches or sdk's

they are incorporated into the mod were needed so installing them will only cause problems

Yeah i know there are still some stabillity issues, this is mainly due to rebalance being developed as a single player mod for so many years with no mp support. my changes aimed to increase stabillity in mp and add in some new content. The issues in the old versions have taken a lot of work to get them to were it is now, but as im still having reports of stabillity, it appears most of the items and ships basically need to be re-writen from scratch.

As rebalance is one of those large mods the shere no. of items and ships means a re-write is a heafty job.
i dont have the time atm to complete this but have been looking for avid scripters to help work on various sections.
but as yet no one is interested in working on an outdated game

maybe some time in the future i might get round to fixing it all but for now its playable at its best.

Sweet glad to hear its working for you now

Few hehe i thought i was gona have to fix more install problems
If you have anymore problems slap on a post and ill try an remember to check up on topics here.
Have Fun.

Ok problem resolved !!!

Come on guys plx - READ THE README's

This problem is from not installing the Character Editor !
The editor as if you read the files is needed 100% to run the mod.
The character editor also defines the start of the game !!

ALWAYS on CLIENT + SERVER INSTALL the CHARACTER EDITOR

sorry for caps but its writted in all the readme's and like 5 times in the tutorials on ModDB.
Its really not that hard to work out. Activate the Main Mod, then Activate the character editor.

The only reason the Character editor is a seperate file is so u can keep easily changing the look of your character with out having to keep uninstalling the mod and reinstallin the mod, u just do it with the mini editor.

I tested this in MP and OP and with out the editor both produced the cheat message described.
this is because if you dont activate the Chatacter editor ur getting the vanila freelancer files.
So they dont work with Rebalance ! You need to fully activate the mod then it will all work fine.

All the best
Tanj

You also need to make sure u activate the character editor or u will have cheat detection problems

Your install routine looks fine, just make sure after u activate the main mod u activate the character editor,
this applys to all 3 OP MP and SP / server or client, they both need the files installed,

Clients can choose diff options based on how they wish to look,
server doesnt need to select options from character editor but "does" need it active !

Apart from that
Are u running the server and client on the same machine or seperate ?
Try booting up a server and client on the same machine check see if it connects and gives cheat message.

If your running it on seperate machines, u need to make sure client options are chosen same as server,
except in character editor which options are client side only really.

So post me some more info plz to help resolve this

What Script options are you running ?
What OS you runin ?
On LAN or online ?
with just starter ships or any ships from Manhatten ?

I my self have played through all the MP starts online including Liberty Manhatten, all work fine,
no server cheat problems. Your problem will more than likely be in the setup your using.

Hey ok, just noticed ya thread here,

Can u post me some more info plz.

What Script options are u running ?
Setup for SP Op Mp or what ?

Which Ship ?
Which Base ?

I know there are some problems with loadouts in rebalance, the old versions of ships got banged in very sloppily.
the versions ive worked on 3.56 + are all aimed at resolving these issues, 80% of which i stated should be resolved.

The whole start section was added to increase stabillity and make sure everyone got off to a better start,
If your having problems at the start then ill address this first, but if its a certain ship on a certain planet then its avoid able and not a priority fix to make the mod work, as it still functions just missing a ship.

If you character is stuck in a ship that wont launch just boot up a server opperator like Ironcross and move your player to a diff base with a diff ship ect, just to fix your save.

But please most of all feed back some more info,
that way i can see if the problem lies in how ur installing the mod or the mod itself.

( on the same note ** Rebalance requires nothing i repeat nothing else apart from a vanila install of freelancer. No Freelancer Patches, No other mods, No fixes or sql's or dll's or anything, Just the Rebalance Flmm activated and the Character editor activated.)

Im sorry if i seem off but plz people read the info or get someone to help u translate it.

Yes Rebalance has always been open to anyone to run in SP or MP
The only thing rebalance asks is please dont mod it your self then make it available.

The reports of crashes based outa Lancers reactor atm, can be summed up in one.

"Read the info, get the proper latest version"

Due to most people who report instablility are talking about pre .56 installs.
Get The Upto Date Version !!!
Version 0 - 3.55 was Single player only !

As many sites dont update anymore yes there are hundereds of different Rebalance version installs out there still.

Rebalance 3.56 is the Latest release !
the current Patch is Rc3 !

So unless ur FLmm states "Rebalance 3.56 Rc3 Patch" then uve got an old out dated version.

Anyone who says 3.56 doesnt work, either isnt installing it correctly or is coming across one of the few minor remaining problems and choosing to not get past it.

"Yes rebalance isnt 1000% Operational in MP, it was untill 2 versions ago Single player only and completely unstable in MP. Since my changes to the .56 series it is stable as many who have played on Koehler Cafe willl state.
The server is mostly empty as these days its hard to get a community going in MP with out alota work or core members but it does work."

I can't be expected to go as far as to offer one on one support,
i have written all the help files as clearly as possible giving as much insight an info as u can need.
If ur still unable to get it working the God help u tbh cos its really not that hard.

Yeah to change names is mearly entries in info cards,
but if your wishing to remove whole sectors, like Li01
then all u need to do inorder for Fl not to error and crash is just remove all entries relating to Li01
so u need to remove the entries from the universe.ini which defines your universe
it would also be wise to remove entries in such places as market ships under equipmentand
mbases ect as these will have references to bases with npc's or missions listed in your deleted system ie Li01.

Appart from that, this is the beauty of freelancer.
the core engine mearly interprets and installs the content
meaning u can revamp the entire game just based on your own coded .ini files.

Essentials FL Tools
150 megs worth of pretty much every version of all the tools ull ever need

yeah u need to deactivate to change from Normal Sinlge player to Open Single Player.

Also if u update to the latest patched version will fix your problem with mission 8 i belive.
the fix was in patch rc2, but latest release 3.56 Rc3 Full is now available.

If you ever come back to reading this can u please post your rebalance versions.

The current release versions from 2008 were 3.56
the 3.56 had a massive performance / stability increase,
any version prior to 3.56 would have contained problems.

++ would help you to have the latest release

Unfortunatly with all the changes here looks like Rebalance version got left behind,
Rebalance is now on version 3.56
the uptodate versions are hosted on ModDB here

Will try an get it on here now too

Harsh so i managed to download that file Nice one ive now got a limit of 1mill or so ! Thank you both ! Tanjitsu Mishima

Thank you for the replys >!! So if i get a hex editor and mod my save thats were you think the info is held about level amounts >? Or use a find and replace in the ini files to change all prices ! and The mod for 1 Mill credit is a broken link as far as i can tell ! It takes me to a page of gobldy goop which i think is the source of the save game file but what can i do with that !? Heres a sample of the start !

Yeah but thats **** ! No offence ! I wanna play the game as it should be, different prices for **** to make it interesting ! I feel that changing one option (the level up requirement) would i presume be easier than going through and changing all the goods prices to $1 !! Agree ? But im not a Freelancer coder so what do i know ! Tanjitsu Mishima
