While I was working on making my mod compatible with the HD Edition,
I started on making some other improvements as well,
I hope you guys apprechiate it, although it took longer than anticipated.
Full changelog follows.
Version 1.4
20 Years Freelancer Anniversary release, on the 5th of May 2023:
* Made the mod compatible with the Freelancer HD Mod V0.6 by BC46
- thus removed Freelancer.exe, server.dll, common.dll and names.dll
+ Included the awesome nomad models and effects from Treewyrm
* Changed the Multiplayer starting reputation
+ Added a new missile
+ Added Multicruise.dll to achieve different cruise speed for all ships and
most importantly re-enable engine kill manouvers
- Removed the second engine from all ship packages. You will need to rebuy your
ship for that to apply, so your ship may fly way too fast after the update!
* Increased the cruise speed of many light fighters
* Changed the blend mode of smoke effects which got broken by the HD Edition :-(
* Fixed some texts
* Improved most Aquanox effects
* Added gradients to the damage zones in the Leuchtfeuer system
+ Added drag modifiers to some zones in the Leuchtfeuer system
+ Made the JAM hostile in single player as well
* Changed/Fixed FAF and JAM Empathy rates
+ Added new ammo to story bases like the osiris
* Changed the exhaust effect of the jam missiles
* Improved mod activation time by reducing file writes
->updated the mod and project files

I am getting this error when activating the mod: Error: FLMM has determined that 'Leuchtfeuer V1.3' won't properly activate.
Error: Unable to find dest 'equip = ge_mnr_engine_01' in 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\DATA\SHIPS\loadouts_utility.ini'
I installed the game through the regular installer and installed it to the default location, i ran and installed the 1.1 patch with admin rights it says it completed it successfully, i installed the JFLP patch located here: Adoxa.altervista.org , and then i attempted to install your mod and got the error above. I have FLMM 1.5 like you linked in your readme, and i launched it with administrator privileges before attempting to activate this mod
any advice?
i have played the campaign for 1-2 hours with no issues, so my game install seems fine.
edit: i removed the following lines from your "Script.xml" and the mod installed without issue:
<data file="DATA\\SHIPS\\loadouts_utility.ini" method="sectionreplace">
<section>
[Loadout]
nickname = ge_miner_co_01
</section>
<dest>
equip = ge_mnr_engine_01
</dest>
<source>
;equip = ge_mnr_engine_01 FLServer meldet sonst Fehler
</source>
</data>

i don't know why this was causing an issue, but hopefully it helps you figure out the problem
tl,dr: Just ignore it, it's no big deal
==== Explanation ====
Well, it is to be expected that you get into trouble if you add additional patches/mods.
To increase compatibilty I only modify small bits of the game files if possible instead of just replacing whole files. But the script responsible for this search cannot find one of those bits.
In this case it was a bugfix, because the Server (correctly) complains that a space station has got an engine. It is a bug that made it into the Freelancer release and JFLP already fixed it, so my mod tries to fix it again differently and that fails...
Which presents us with two options:
1 Remove the bugfix from the mod with the obvious consequences...
2 Add JFLP to the mod, which I opted not to do, as I don't know if it will be worth the invested time.
How do I install the 1.1 patch if it goes to the original game directory which is C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Games/Freelancer. My game is not there.
The Patch has always worked for me this far(>5 times), so I can only guess that you are missing registry entries. Did you by chance not install Freelancer with the installer?
Anyway, I assume the responsible key on amd64 is:
Hkey_Local_Machine\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\1.0\
It should contain a string called "AppPath"
that holds the path to the Freelancer directory(if not, then correct it)
Hi There to who ever the creator is This looks interresting do you have an English version or Plan on making One Would love too try it out Thanks :)
Is that a request?
Thine will be done
Yes please i would love to try out your mod and do you plan on expanding it at any point btw ?
Content wise I consider this mod to be finished, as Freelancer only lets you do so much, although the community continously strives to expand the possibilities.(check out Librelancer)
Honestly, while creating this mod was very educational an fun, it also took much time, as I am its sole creator.
However if I do find serious bugs or the players dislike the balance/difficulty I may release an update in the future.
where is librelancer?
Librelancer.net
Btw: The translation is finished, enjoy
Thank you so much for your troubles will be playing once I have time much appreciate it mate thank you!!
