A rumor mentions that there are remains of a GMG fleet wreckage in Sigma-13. However, in-game this is actually a Rheinland fleet. So GMG has been changed to Rheinland in the rumor text.
The HDE in-game credits used to be in misctextinfo2_tsr.dll. Though this dll is not loaded when a user doesn't play with the English Text fixes. Moving it to controls.dll ensures the credits are always visible.
There's a Rheinland news story that mentions 'the city of Muleheim'. This city doesn't actually exist, but it sounds similar to Mülheim, so it's been changed to that.
The '%' sign is recognized as an escape character in Freelancer's text markup language. Because of this, every percent sign followed by a space in rumors would show up as blank. This commit rectifies that by replacing all '%' signs in rumors with the word 'percent'.
The libcurl.dll that comes with FLGS is pretty old and is known to be picked up by quite a lot of antivirus programs. In this commit a more recent version of the library has been added; this one has no false positives according to virustotal.com.
Sometimes the 'Sierra Cloud' was mentioned in Freelancer's text, which is incorrect because Sierra is a field, not a cloud. Given the context, these entries are actually referring to the Tahoe Ice Cloud.
The asteroid field next to Perth station in Edinburgh is called 'Tain', while in the respective .ini file, the field is referred to as 'Skye'. Furthermore, some bar rumors also mention 'Skye' rather than 'Tain'. Because I assumed the rumors and ini references are correct, the field has been renamed to 'Skye'.
In Freelancer's resources there are infocards for many dockable bases, including the ones from Juneau and Ithaca. However, in the released game neither of those bases are dockable. As a result, Freelancer doesn't show the additional info for Juneau and Ithaca. Controls.dll has been edited so it contains merged versions of the Juneau and Ithaca infocard sections.
Rebuilt MultiIntro.dll using VC6. This was done because the previous version apparently got picked up by quite a few antivirus programs. According to virustotal.com, it got flagged 11 times as being malicious. The new VC6 build only has 1 malicious flag, and the plugin still works the exact same way code-wise.
This resolves the issue where players with foreign installs will have the blank ship control names. Now they'll at least still be displayed in English, but they can always be translated later. This commit also adds a few missing tool tips for the new controls.
This modified version is compatible with the no level requirements for ship and equipment patches. It fixes the NPC paths in multiplayer while still allowing no level requirements. This has been achieved by removing the patches for the level and rep requirement patches for multiplayer.
