What is a FLMOD file?

A FLMOD file is a compressed archive file format used for distributing mods for the video game Freelancer. It is a custom file format created by the Freelancer Mod Manager, and it is based on the ZIP file format. FLMOD files can contain multiple files, including game assets, scripts, and configuration files.

FLMOD files are typically named with the following format:

modName.zip.flmod

The modName is the name of the mod, and the .zip and .flmod are the file extensions.
