Freelancer Companion - Guide / How-To

[Krmloo]

Ok I just made a *.bat program that do the work for me

Be sure to type the right path on the code. Replace "PATH TO\" and "USER\" by the right path

You also need to create a file named "universemod.ini" it's juste the "universe.ini" without the [6;25] line
Here is the code :

Code:

@echo off
:question
SET /P launched=Freelancer is started ? (o/n)
IF %launched%==n (
ECHO Please launch Freelancer by the launcher
GOTO :question)
echo Updating data...
copy "PATH TO\\Discovery Freelancer 4.88.1\DATA\UNIVERSE\universe.ini" "C:\Users\USER\\Desktop"
echo Updating data...
del "PATH TO\\Discovery Freelancer 4.88.1\DATA\UNIVERSE\universe.ini"
echo Updating data...
rename "PATH TO\\Discovery Freelancer 4.88.1\DATA\UNIVERSE\universemod.ini" "universe.ini"
PING LOCALHOST -n 2 >nul
ECHO Launching Freelancer Companion...
start C:\"Program Files (x86)\Freelancer Companion\FLCompanion.exe"
PING LOCALHOST -n 2 >nul
ECHO Restoring data...
RENAME "PATH TO\\Discovery Freelancer 4.88.1\DATA\UNIVERSE\universe.ini" "universemod.ini"
ECHO Restoring data...
COPY "C:\Users\USER\\Desktop\universe.ini" "PATH TO\\Discovery Freelancer 4.88.1\DATA\UNIVERSE"
ECHO Restoring data...
DEL "PATH TO\\Desktop\universe.ini"
ECHO I hope it work fine for you !
pause

Well, lines from 6 to 25 are multiuniverse configs (that 3rd map layer). This script seems to be okay, but only if configured correctly. As it doesn't use path variables, and wrong path will end to losing universe.ini file (as it uses copy-delete instead of rename for backuping) or anticheat triggering as it haven't reverted universe.ini. Use at your own risk.

I think better solution is to use 2.02 companion (it's compatible with multiuniverse) or just to copy Discovery to another folder, modify universe.ini there and set FLC to that folder, BUT NEVER USE IT TO CONNECT TO THE SERVER.
