A dev's log.

We'll need a clean install to play 4.86? Why?

Will there also be a FLMM mod file released? Because I don't want to reconfigure Freelancer for my dual displays again..

[Unseelie]

Will this new installer be compatible with the approved graphics mods?

Manual installation of either the HudShift or Realistic Lighting Mods should still be possible, since the structure of the game files/folders will not change.

I might need to find a method of installing the Realistic Lighting Mod manually, though... Once I work that out I will post instructions in that thread.

There was a sig here, once.

Discovery has basically went from a mod to an unnecessary correction patch for non-existing bugs.

:nono:

because a clean install is the baseline to troubleshoot any problems that a person may encounter.

Yes, you'll need a clean Freelancer installation in order to install and play Discovery 4.86. Changes'n'stuff not compatible with FLMM.

As far as I know no separate FLMM release is planned and unlikely there'll be one.

Approved and compatible modifications may be rolled into optional install components.

1.3gigs? Ay dios mio...

Installation file is about 100MB, it's highly compressed. 1.3Gigs is a full size of Freelancer + Discovery 4.86.

[AeternusDoleo]

In other words, a form of autoupdating is intended so that smaller, but more frequent changes can be applied. FLMM can't handle that.

From a time when all seems lost, from a dead man to a world, without restraint, unafraid and free.

Ah sounds good. But one. One stupid question i have 'ere.. uh.. So, you want us to deactivate the mod and delete it, uninstall and reinstall freelancer, and then run the new mod installer?
