  • Question about sectors and roids

    Greetings all,


    Ok please bare with me, I'm new to the modding thing. Just ported over some ships from a mod and a few systems to see if I could...it went well and pretty. Then added my own race to the game...wonderful, opened gmax and after a few hours of looking around dumbfounded, finally had a (somewhat bland) ship I ported over to milkshape. But now...


    First, how does one increase the sector map? If I open it with freelancer explorer I see that I could possible put like...200 or something like that, systems in there..but things would be so cramped you would never be able to look at the thing. So I would like to be able to have a big jump gate in like... Omicron Major that would take you to, lets say Alpha Centari and then you could explore another 100 or so systems. How does one accomplish this?


    Also, from my time playing on Disco, I noticed one big thing I really didn't like. Capitol ships and astroids. You could invade a system with a bunch of maxed out fighters, and as long as you were decent at flying through asteroids, no cruisers or anything like that could hunt you down, even though if they tried...perfect place to drop them. So how would a person go about making asteroids movable. The BIG ones don't budge...but if you could "slowly" prod through with a large ship...you could possibly move them out of the way, or if you could make then distroyable that would be good too. It would give Cap ships a way in, although slow, and "in my opinion" at least give player driven caps a CHOICE weather or not to get a few more cruisers and chase down the bad guys in the rocks and they would still be a pretty good target for fighters. Any help appericated. Thanks

  • Greetings to all, good to finally be here

    Hello everyone, I've had freelancer for a few many years. Never ran any of the mods until a friend of mine turned me on to disco 4.84. I was hooked. Now the problem is...I want my own mod. I believe I can figure it out. Already put in a few weapons, changed some ships around, messed with commodities but so far the ease of modding this thing has impressed me. But I got questions...lots of them ;), for instance, why when I add TWO new factions and then start up freelancer explorer, do I get a error:missing dll reference. Or how do I make the universe map larger? I finally figured out how to exit disco its self but I see this is going to be a long haul and someone told me if I was looking for information and just a place to find some other nutjobs who like pining over this stuff in their spare time....I would find a home here. So here's my salute to you guys!


    (Ok, mabey nut job is a bad phrase, eccentric perhaps? ;) :ugeek:
