My modded ship is missing it's infocard! - S2000Gan - 03-06-2008
Also the ship's name apears to be "IDS?" instead of what the name is supposed to be, What am I missing?

Dude, infocards are stored in several dll files under <Freelancer dir>\EXE. But you don't wanna change any of those... you need to create your own dll.
It's too hard to explain here.... I suggest you download the Freelancer edit pack, it has (among other things) a tutorial on creating/editing infocards. You'll also need FLED-ids (not sure if it's in the pack), which is a pretty good tool for editing infocards.
Hope that helps:)

I've Added the CMP SUR and MAT files of the ship to the ships file, and edited shiparch so that it has the code for the ship.
When I load the game the ship is there for sale on the planet, but like I said it's name is odd and it has no info on the guns, hull, cargo etc (which I believe is called the infocard) I made the price 1 and in the game is cost 118k and a my SP doesn't have any money, well, not much.
Eariler today at school one of my friends was talking about all the various VBs and then he went into dll files and I saw that this game uses alot of them, from what he told me I was guessing, that the reason why I couldn't figure out what was wrong with my ship was that I don't deal with dll files and that from what he said about them being "libraries" or somthing, that was what I was missing.
Sorry if what I said wasn't entirely clear, I'm getting tired and therefore a bit lazy in thinking about all this confuzzling modding.

Wait.
I need a C/C++ or VB 6
to deal with dll files?
I only have the VB that comes in the Office programs.
I'm taking a class on it.
oh and,
What is delphi?

I downloaded the files, but there are alot of them and I have no clue what to do.

Sorry guy, can't help you there:(
But I would *not* recommend hacking the dll's with C++ or VB or w/e.... bad medicine. Not for adding a ship.... updating text ini files should do the trick there.
Sorry mate, that's the limit of my expertise.

I'm trying to use the FLEd-ids program, but I keep getting this error when I try to save the name of my ship as the number I got.
Error: LoadLibrary()failed

What does, Error: LoadLibrary() failed mean?

Also what do I need to add to the mod to make it so it adds the CMP, SUR, and MAT file for the ship to the Ships file? My current mod needs the Ships to manually be put into the ships file. I want to make it so all you need to do is activate the mod.
