How to open FLMOD file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FLMOD file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Dragon UnPACKer
In this case, you should first verify that the Dragon UnPACKer application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Dragon UnPACKer in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file FLMOD.
Programs to open FLMOD file
Remember to download programs supporting FLMOD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Dragon UnPACKer with FLMOD files
If, despite the installed application, the FLMOD file does not start in the Dragon UnPACKer application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the FLMOD file with the Dragon UnPACKer application.
Step 3. Update Dragon UnPACKer to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Dragon UnPACKer program with the Freelancer Game Archive file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Alexandre Devilliers website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FLMOD file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the FLMOD file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FLMOD file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected FLMOD file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of FLMOD file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FLMOD file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file FLMOD except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move FLMOD to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the FLMOD file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FLMOD file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
