Hi all,
I installed freelancer and tried the widescreen hack, everything works fine after you go out into space once.
After installing Discovery 4.85 mod, the settings will not take effect even after going out into space.
Taking into consideration that the mod changes freelancer.ini and cameras.ini , i tried reactivating the hack, but changes will not take effect even after going into space.
Basically you just need to add a line in your Freelancer shortcut and it'll work. It's all explained there.
And you'll need to restore vanilla inis which is best done by deactivating and then activating the mod again.
So, in short, the steps for you to perform are:
1. Deactivate mod with FLMM.
2. Activate mod with FLMM.
3. Right click your Freelancer shortcut and click properties.
4. Find the box entitled Target: and input -dx in the end.
As a result of this, Freelancer will be set to the same resolution as your monitor is set when you're on the desktop. So if your res. is 1680x1050, FL will be set to that.
If you want a different resolution, like 1024x768, just input -d1024x768 in the end.
An example of this is as follows:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\EXE\Freelancer.exe -dx
5. Play.

Thank you very much for the info!, The -dx works, now the problem is with fonts,they are small, after looking at the guide (thnx Swift) it sais i should have an unmodified fonts.ini and richfonts.ini files i'm using (1366*768) resolution btw.
Is there a way to get the original files, or modify something in the ones i already have (their contents are the same as instructed by the hack)?
