flplusplus is a client-side hook for Freelancer providing the following features:

• Timestamps for FLSpew.txt
• Redirecting the FLSpew.txt output to a console window
• Removed MP3 codec error spam on systems using Wine
• Removed start location warning in FLSpew.txt
• Configurable LOD/Render distance (flplusplus.ini)
• Configurable save game location

• PNG screenshots
• Zooming in and out in the Ship Dealer preview window using the scroll wheel
• Automatically regenerated Restart.fl file on startup
• Ability to change the IDS of the "failed to initialize saves directory" error message

flplusplus also provides the following .ini extensions:

TTF Loading

In your FONTS/fonts.ini file you can create the following section.

[FontFiles]
path = FONTS/font.ttf
path = FONTS/font2.ttf

This will load the files FONTS/font.ttf and FONTS/font2.ttf into the process, allowing them to be used by Freelancer without installing them on the system.

Thn Player

With flplusplus.dll in your dacom.ini, you can add -thn to your Freelancer.exe launch parameters to have it launch in THN player mode. This allows you to select an arbitrary .thn script (as long as it is self-contained i.e. intros), and play it with Freelancer's thn engine.
