[MOD] Freelancer Variations

[Kevin_Rudd]

I would’ve mentioned something like that in the changelog if so lel

[Lewisnic1]

Every time I come into this thread and see new stuff, it just makes me want it all in the game properly even more!!

[NeroCrossX]

I’ve made a simple table of content for Freelancer Variations in case anyone wants to have a look regarding amount of additional variants per map.

[ChickenPossible]

Can I just say thank you so much for all of your time on this? It looks like a really cool addition. Looking forward to trying this out so that Freelancer will have much more variety and interest! Wish me luck on my installation!

I have made some changes based on various complaints, particularly difficulty in Chongqing, and lighting in some night time variants. I hope people who have disabled these variants now consider re-enabling them, though it probably still won’t be enough as some people are just babies

I have several mild visual impairments that make it hard for me to see in these levels. I appreciate the changes and I hope they will help, but I don’t understand why you make fun of me for this :​(

@Kevin_Rudd I’ve found a texture error in Methlab variant.
I’m pretty sure those covers are supposed to be greenish and not white.

[Tetrafish_21]

I could be wrong but I think he’s referring to nerfing the one-shot-kill sniper that made the whole area he could see a ‘Don’t be naughty’ zone. Well if that makes me a baby, then…

Yeah Baby, Yeah!

Really, no offense taken.

Edit: I can see keeping it authentic… And I had already decided to take the guy out before I do anything in his area of protection. But the nerfing does make it seem fairer because he is, after all, there to protect the police chief and blue lotus guy. Not syndicate member/leader whoever. And other levels don’t have an (almost) omnipresent assassin to protect anyone. It’s a tough call to make, but leaving him in is better than completely removing him… I guess.

Edit 2: Oh right. You know how other levels have their main targets removed, and the guards for those VIPs are now left to wander around looking for them? Meh… Anyway.

I hope that’s the case.

Miami (Night): Takedown now has Silver Tongue NPCs as potential targets

If you used the variant website to update your JSON, I forgot to update this so you won’t get the new targets. Use the website again to get it for real

I’ve found a texture error in Methlab variant.

That tarp has been basically random for me on each deploy while I was making it, even though I haven’t done anything to it

Update: It appears The Brothers content causes crashes for people using Russian or Japanese language. My theory is this is because it replaces menu elements with 2016 versions which have different languages to Hitman 3. Your two options for now are:

1. Delete Mods\Freelancer Variations\TheBrothers\chunk0\LOCR and deselect The Brothers as a variant, or;
2. Play in English or any other supported language.

Trying to work on a proper fix but this is new to me.

[Ham_Train]

I am someone who had the night variants disabled because I could not see. I understood it as you making fun of people like me for not being able to see, but this may not be the case. I would be glad if I have misunderstood. :​)

[Kevin_Rudd]

Has anyone actually been getting SDK crashes like when the mod first launched?

• Yes
• I gave up and haven’t tried the latest version of SDK (Feb 21)
• No

And just cos I don’t think I’ve ever actually asked, do you get the Landslide exit bug?

• Yes
• No
• I used to, but now it magically works for me

[Tetrafish_21]

I’ve been using piepie’s site, generating and saving the file (overwriting the old), but I keep getting an unsuccessful deployment when using SMF.

@Atampy26 Should I bother repeatedly uploading the error reports? Or is once enough?

Any ideas of what I might try?

Without the mod enabled I’m currently stuck not being able to play a takedown in Berlin because it constantly crashes. FLV might not help this…

This all started when I wanted to not have the night-time versions of some of the missions. Like Mumbai, DGS…

[Atampy26]

I’m not sure what you’re asking; do you mean uploading error reports for each unsuccessful deployment?

[Tetrafish_21]

Yes.

[Atampy26]

You can if you think it’ll be helpful but if they’re all the same issue it probably won’t do too much

These things are unrelated, SMF will not fail to deploy because of something in the SDK mods folder

@Tetrafish_21

Without the SDK mod enabled you should get vanilla, not crashes. Unless there’s some freaky thing where you have to restart campaign but I don’t think that’s the case.

[47Agent]

Seriously! I’m on Xbox so I’ll never have access to any of this cool shit.

[Lewisnic1]

I’m in the same boat as you

[sandor_krasna]

Mod fails to deploy. I always have problems with the SMF, so tiring.

A new version of SMF was put out today, have you tried that?
