Umm... excuse me if I sound like a retard, but when I browse for ale file to decode, then click OK, nothing happens... when I click DONE, nothing happens! The ale file is still encoded

Unfortunately no, ALE files are only supported by FL as far as I know. I was asked before to create a graphical editor but that would mean I would have had to reproduce all of the work that Digital Anvil did by myself. Sorry...

There is a DLL in the Freelancer EXE folder called alchemy.dll

Perhaps that could be of some use?

It probably would work if I was still writing any FL programs. As it is if I was going to write any more FX editors, it would be for my own game engine.

Does anyone know why I can't login to Lancer's Reactor? I enter my user and password, then hit Login, I successfully login then when I press any link or wait for redirect, the next page doesn't show me as logged in!

I got the same thing, when I cleared my browser cache the problem went away.

Ok I decoded an Ale File with the ale editor but where can I find help encoding both Ael+Anl files together back to Ale file?

@ Arbiter, the program does that, you just select the .ael file and it will combine both of them.

Unfortunately it has been a very long time since I edited any ALE files. I would suggest looking for a multi-effect engine in the game and decompressing that file....

Hello. I have a trouble and looking for help.
I took a default rh_tachyon_01.ale and decompresse it with ALE Editor. Then, i changed nothing and compressed it to rh_tachyon_01.tale, of course. Renamed to rh_tachyon_01.ale and replaced original. It is not working lol.
Then, i began to search a bug.
I took UTF Editor and exported binary AEL of rh_tachyon_01.ale, replaced aelout.bin and set "Only read" attribute to file. Made this to avoid overwriting AEL while importing to ready ALE file.
So, my new rh_tachyon_01.ale began to work. So, trouble is in AEL decompressing or compressing.
So, i can only edit default effects but can't make new cause nicks is in AEL file and i must edit it.
Help please.
