But of course, you could just try to be a smart arse. Either works.

There are only two variants:- Necroposting
- Repeated topic
About topic, try just
damage = -40000 for example. Without hull_damage or energy_damage -
Negative damage doesn’t work without Adoxa’s plugins.

hmm, strange, i have adoxa’s plug in, as well as his jflp files and the 1.1 official patch for freelancer, but negative damage seems to instantly kill anything it hits… admittedly they had full health anyway and didnt need repairing, but i still find that rather disturbing.
what im i doing wrong?

JFLP does not, by default, make repair guns. You need to check the readme to enable it, maybe even download something more.
FL stores damage values as unsigned integers. Any negative value is interpreted as an incredibly large positive value.

I have Adoxa’s healing plugin that was here http://adoxa.110mb.com/freelancer/plugins.html#healing
and his JFLP stuff from here
http://adoxa.110mb.com/freelancer/index.htmlI also got the 1.1 patch from here

I managed to get it going, see next post. -
Ok ive got it to work at long last.
I managed to do this by reading the readme file for Console.dll, which is one of the files it says you need for single player useage of the repair gun function.
i got through the readme and didnt have a clue, i just bearly read the first 2 lines of the Console.dll History section, listing changes made in past versions and it says this
=======
HISTORYLegend: - bug fix, + added, * changed.
v1.22, 3 May, 2011:
- fix the atmosphere collision when launching;
- loading Moors after Console would possibly disable Moors.
so i wondered if that meant the order of the text in the dacom.ini files was significant at all. I found it hard to believe since… ive messed up the order of all my other .ini files, by putting all my edited stuff at the top so i can see it right away.
my dacom.ini [Library] section looked like this.
[Libraries]
;;;dosfile.dll
ReadFile.dll ;optimized read-only version of dosfile.dll
x86math.dll
EngBase.dll
system.dll
RP8.dll
SoundStreamer.dll
SoundManager.dll
Deformable2.dll
Thorn.dll
Shading.dll
RendComp.dll
alchemy.dll
ximage.dll
flmaterials.dll
jflp.dll ; Jason’s Freelancer Patch
HudShift.dll
healing.dll <=
moors.dll <=
console.dll <=It seems the healing.dll needs to be after the other two once they are put into dacom.ini in order for it to work
[Libraries]
……
moors.dll
console.dll
healing.dllthe one gripe i have with this is it only repairs hull damage, i would love for it to do shields too, since my mod is different to all others that ive seen.

the one gripe i have with this is it only repairs hull damage, i would love for it to do shields too, since my mod is different to all others that ive seen.This one is regular feature/bug of freelancer to cutoff shields before repair is started.
Thats why i have proposed to make only “damage = -40000” parameter because in this case:
- shield must go down along hull is go up
instead of - shield goes down and only after hull go up
- shield must go down along hull is go up

such a large number would instantly de-shield any of my ships,
and as the “shields” in my mod, do not regenerate once lost this isnt a good idea.
the shield bar in my mod is representive of armour plating, and therefore can not simply regenerate without docking for repairs, i was hoping to have the repairgun work on shields like hull, so that the armour can be regained on the fly.
sadly not it seems… so i will be making all shields immune to my repair weapon so that it cant have a negative effect on team mates.
- shield must go down along hull is go up
-
Yeah. I’ve tried just with damage - absolutely the same as damage_hull …
-
This is probably a stupid question, but you’ve tried negative energy damage?
yes of course, negative shield damage instantly deshielded, regardles of number, even -1,
