The SWWT version v1.3beta is now running with our 1.2 characters. The beta client installer has some fixes, so you will need to download the client again, but it's the same link. If you have problems with the .msi running, download this program:
http://www.legroom.net/software/uniextract
It will allow you to extract the files out of the .msi and then just copy and paste and overwrite the fresh install of freelancer with the extracted files.

The following is the instructions on how to install the game, then Mod the game to SWWT v1.3

*****Please follow the instructions closely and read the instructions in their entirety FIRST to prevent crashes in-game*****

Files you will need to download:

The original game:
http://www.filefront.com/16116927/FreeLancerPlatform.zip/

The mod:

Version 1.3beta:
http://www.freelancer-swwt.com/Mod/SWWT_Version1.3_Client.msi

1. Extract and Install freelancer from the freelancerplatform.zip
It is highly recommended that you keep a copy of the install around.
2. Rename the ...\freelancer\ game folder where you installed the game to ...\SWWT\

NOTE: you may duplicate the freelancer folder and rename one to SWWT if you want a copy of freelancer for a different mod, or just have a clean copy. - This is because this mod does not play well with others so we want it to be completely separate from other mods/installs of the game.

3. Right-click on the newly renamed SWWT directory and go to properties. Unselect the 'read only' box and make sure it changes those settings for all the subfolders and files.

4. From the FLModManagerAndPatch.zip download, extract and run the flmminstaller.exe to install the FreeLancerModManager v1.31

5. Run the swwtversion1.3_client.msi
Make sure when you tell the install path to point to the folder you just renamed in the last step.

6. Once the mod is installed, find the ...\SWWT\EXE\Freelancer.exe file. Right-click and choose properties. Then go to the compatibility tab and run the game in compatibility mode for XP service pack 2. If it only says XP, choose that one.

7. Finally, on your desktop, the installer added a shortcut for the mod client that we moved the directory for. To fix this shortcut (that you need to direct connect to the 1.3beta server), Right-click and go to properties and change the beginning of the [target:] and [Start in:] fields to wherever you have your SWWT game directory. My target and start in info (respectively) is:

Target: L:\games\SWWT\EXE\Freelancer.exe -s69.162.85.219:2302
and
Start in: L:\games\SWWT\EXE

Now the game should work like a charm from the shortcut. The server is the only one that shows up in game in the Shattered worlds-> Lan menu.

It is highly recommended that you read all three of the PDFs in the ...\SWWT\README\ folder that have either 'rules' or 'roleplay' in the names.
