System Modding Difficulties - Carlos_Benitez - 11-10-2007
Im new to system modding, and i'm trying to make a replacement Omecron-96.
I've followed the instructions on these forums as best I can, and am currently trying to piece together the system on Freelancer Explorer.
However, when I started the program and accessed my "Disco Edit" file I was bombarded by what must have been around 80 error messages, "cannot open file". I eventually got onto the map, and went to Omecron-96 and started playing around. However, im having allot of difficulties.
When I try and place an asteroid field, I get an error message saying that the program cannot open "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\DATA\FX\SPACE\space_ale.ini".
When I close this box, I am unable to use most of the options on the asteroid field options menu.
Does anyone have any ideas about what im doing wrong?

First, close that whole Disco Edit folder. Then copy 4.83 again, but when you make it and rename it Disco Edit, remove ALL files/folders except the DATA and EXE folders, and the files inside them.
In the end you should only have DATA folder, and EXE folder. It should open fine after that, and it should add things to the system fine.
Question, did you edit ANY of the files from the Freelancer folder, not the mod folder, but the game folder.
Also, its best to edit your modding folder WITHOUT the Discovery mod activated. Go to FLMM and deactivate everything.

Unfortunately, I had fixed this issue prior to your post, only for it to be replaced by another and another. I have given up trying after spending all day on an utterly brilliant system, only to lose it all due to crashing while I attempt to save. (happening every time).
I'll hire someone to do it for me to my spec.

Question are you relying on FLMM to do your base naming, commodity setup, ships etc?
