Extracting data from the game

Interesting! But I have to study it a bit more. Thank you!

I ran into a little problem: I cannot extract all the names of the bases from the INI files. For example, the Wedel Mining Facility in Hamburg isn't mentioned anywhere, that is: the name. The base self is, but just with its code name. The person who wote the INI file, added the real names as comment. But not for every base, and not in a consistent way.
In the past I extracted this info from various HTML files and put that in text file. For the moment I'm going to use that as conversion base.

Check the GetIDSParm() at line 705. ids_info for each equip/base/whatever is an unsigned integer which is used as index.

The strings themselves are stored in exe\resources.dll and each library, that is listed in exe\freelancer.ini under [Resources] block, DLL setting. Library loading happens @ lines 198-199.

The sample uses standard windows functions (of user32.dll and kernel32.dll, check lines 27-46) to access the data, I think FPC is able to invoke DLL functions as well. Good luck
