Discovery 4.76 Release

[Igiss]

Whne me and korrd dueled we kept running out of energy.

This depends on what weapons you use during a fight. If you only use turrets, you'll never run out of energy.

About shields: I'll think about it, however I did increase the recharge rate a bit in 4.76.

First, korrd dont change ships yours is fine just be better at manuvering you kept letting me get behind you so you couldnt use much guns against me.

Second, my osiris had all turrets i removed the missiles temporarely and when i was firing forward it kept running out of energy.

Third, 1 person has beaten me in a fair fight, well semi-fair, the first fight with deniers gunship that i lost mainly becuase i wasn't very experianced in flying cap ships yet.

I've been trying to install the discovery mod for Freelancer, but can't seem to get it to work. The first time I installed it, it worked fine for about five minutes, then my flserver crashed, and it hasn't worked since. I've tried uninstalling EVERYTHING; freelancer, freelancer mod manager, everything. I went through the program files and totally deleted all of them for both applications, and got the profiles in the My Games folder. Then I reinstalled everything, following the directions up on lancersreactor.com, but it still won't work. Every time I install the discovery mod, the window pops up saying that it's installed and ready to be activated, but then shows that it has activated itself automatically, and every time I try to deactivate it, I get an error saying that it couldn't be deactivated. I was wondering if there were some files that would be in c:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer, c:\Documents and Settings\William McCarthy\My Documents\My Games\Freelancer, or F:\Program Files\Freelancer Mod Manager. If anyone can think of something that I'm missing, or has any other ideas, I would be very happy to hear them. Save about the two and a half hours that I spent at class and a half hour for lunch, I've been working on this since I got up at about 9 AM this morning it is now 7:30 PM. Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

have you deactivated the mod too, or just uninstalled it? If you haven't try that do so.

Also try getting the copy thats on this site.


If that doesnt work i dont know what you should do. I can't figure it out without seeing your computer.

I tried deactivating the mod using FLMM, but it kept failing. I'll try using the one from this site though, thanks.

There are several strange details you mentioned in your post.

The first time I installed it, it worked fine for about five minutes, then my flserver crashed, and it hasn't worked since.

So, you did get it to work. For a short while.

Every time I install the discovery mod, the window pops up saying that it's installed and ready to be activated, but then shows that it has activated itself automatically

This is impossible.

1) About 5 minutes. The mod server on my computer runs for days with many people online. I don't know why this crash could happen. Maybe because of some other mod installed?
Did you install SDK by the way? And what version of it?
And what language is your Freelancer version?

2) If the mod shows activated right from the start, then you failed to uninstall something. Check installation paths. Uninstall all applications once again. Remove all files that remain. Clean registry if folder cleanup won't help (I never had to clean registry myself to reinstall FL and mods, but - who knows, maybe sometimes it's required). But remember to back up Freelancer keys while doing this.
I cannot think of anything else...

I tried the file from this site, and it worked like a charm. I don't know why, but I'm not going to complain. This is just another occurrence that I will be chalking up to the Voodoo Technology Gods.

I had been following the instructions on LR, downloading everything as instructed, and grabbing the latest versions of everything that I could find. The version I have of FL is in English.

Thanks for all the help.

Maybe the site you got it from had corrupted the file or something. *shruggs* Who knows? Many strange things happen when little packets of information are being sent at breakneck speeds across a copper wire. (Collisions, interfearence, the wire shorting out or being unplugged, etc.)

problem docking with battleship osiris.

For some reason, I can't get to dock with anything while using a capship. Whenever I try to dock too a mooring fixture, the neural net says "docking not allowed", at the docking rings, the robot says "we are unable to service ships of your size".

Do you know what possibly could be wrong, or any other ways I can dock? Thanks

Robot at docking ring is OK. However mooring for Osiris should work. You've got corrupt .ini files.
