Installing and Running Freedom Force X 3.1

You'll need to have Irrational Games' Freedom Force vs the Third Reich installed first, followed by FFX 3.0.

Step 1: Download

Click on this link Freedom Force X 3.1 Update and choose Save Target, and choose a suitable location on your hard drive.

Step 2: Back up (optional)

Back up your ffxcustom.py file if you have lots of character customisations already and don't want to lose them.

Step 3: Install

Find the installer using Explorer and run it. The only setting you may want to change is the installation directory - choose the directory which you installed Freedom Force vs the 3rd Reich to. The installer will try to read this information from your registry.

Step 4: Merge

Replace your ffxcustom.py over the top of the one that the bug fix patch installed.
Run the FFX Control Centre and press Save.

New attributes in FFX 3.1

DRIVER and VEHICLE: Drivers automatically start missions in their chosen vehicle (which is a character designed with the VEHICLE attribute), and can enter and exit the vehicle at will using a custom command
SPELLCASTER: spells are memorised from chaining commands together, e.g. INCREASE... GRAVITY... AROUND TARGET to memorise a spell that effects a gravity increase around others. Up to three spells can be memorised, but casting has a chance of causing you to forget that spell.
TERRAFORMER: objects around you change all the time. Example character BORG-9 turns nearby streetlights and trees into techno-organic stacks which he can feed off.
ABSORPTION (ACTIVE): Just like the ABSORPTION ability but more powerfuil effects, and you need to activate each absorption with a command.
ADAPTIVE (ACTIVE): Toggle your resistances whenever you feel like it.
INDUCTION: Taking damage can cause you to magnetise characters nearby
UTILITY BELT: Choose 3 out of 6 handy gadgets at each mission start
TRANSMUTATOR: Effect various elemental transmutations on nearby objects

Cat Laser:- a WW II hero, the original CatLaser was just a big friendly neighbourhood butcher who decided to pitch in for his country by dressing up as a cat and punching Nazis out. Cat Laser demonstrates the VEHICLE and DRIVER attribute with the aid of his Cat Jalopy - a car customised with a couple of weapons. (Sorry, no skin provided).
Borg-9:- an alien colony of microorganisms that find our world to be toxic. As a result, the Borg-9 has developed terraforming microbe squads that attempt to make our world like the Borg using the TERRAFORMER attribute. He can feed off these techno-organic stacks to replenish his failing health using the ABSORPTION (ACTIVE) attribute - this draws health from the techno-organic stacks nearby.
