well we know that’s it because of an Plugin, because that’s what we are testing right now.
We guess it’s because the flak_common plugin won’t properly activate, but we don’t know why.

EDIT : well we setup it on our windows 2003 server, but now we have the first error about playercontrole plugin ^^

Flak Common hates Vista, especially x64, as far as I’m aware. I’ve had luck recompiling everything using the 1.6.1 source, updated headers, much debugging and Visual Studio 2008 with normalized settings - they all work now. Took a loooong time to setup though

As for your problem, I know it’s a dumb guess, but what about finding a zone with a size of the type "size = ", that is with no parameter? It’s what the error’s saying after all.

Cannon, we try to use the plugin with no MOD, we try to use on Windows 2003 and we have the same error . Maybe it’s because the game is in french or this his not important ?

i don’t understand ^^

With this plugins, Player drop only Equipement and good ?

I want player don’t drop ammo .

EDIT : error resolved with SDK

Looks like it was an Bug in FL itself, the SDK solved the problem for us.

Try from a fresh install maybe?

Hehe

Oo your plugin have maybe big bug.
Player A loot in space his ammo, and player B can pick up . But player A avec still his ammo in cargo . So the ammo is multiplied by 2 .

I need some help to configure a loot mod please

we have blocked on this probleme since 1 month, Cannon please help us it’s important.

our server has for objectiv to revive the french cpmmunity on the games and why not more projects .

And we have player some times like 24 players .

Well it’s important, we are noob in coding and Flhook, please take the time to help the admins of server, if you want FL community revive .
it’s possible of course, but we need work with you .

we have a big potential !

Can we separe goods , ammo and weapons in cargo ?

I want players drop only goods and weapons, but no ammo.

Or if it’s not possible to resolve the big that ammo are multiplied by 2.

CargoDropFactor = 1.0

thanks for help ^^

Up we need some help !

No offense mate, but have you guys attempted to do this yourself?

If you can’t find the info on the forums, you could try looking in the Freelancer Archives. A loot mod isn’t that difficult. I’d help you out, but I’ve no time as it is.

Greetings mates

I’m a member of the FFS team, Gordon’s server.
Before, thanks to Cannon for this PlayerControl Plugin. This is the beginning of an answer that we seek. There are no bugs in there, please excuse Gordon.

But as Gordon has said, we need to know if there is a plugin for :

• a player also loses his ammunition, nanobots and shield batteries when he dies.
• or to separate the drop percentage between each element of the cargo : unmounted weapons, goods, ammunition, batteries and nanobots and shield batteries

If nothing exists, we try to find a way to code this by ourselves.

Anyway, thank you for what you do and for your valuable responses.

Thanks Cannon. That would be great. We’ll wait patiently.

Well… I try to do it myself but I failed. I’m a beginner in C++.

If I remember, on Discovery server, when a player dies, he loses all his cargo, including ammo, nano and shields batteries.
I know I ask much… but Is it possible to have the code wich is doing that, and explain to me the place where I have to add it ?

Thanks a lot for help

I know I have very little to offer you in return. But I find two things recently :

• make a mod wich isn’t readable with FLexplorer, FLcompanion, FLdatastorm and Flstats
• make a mod where commercial viability is the same for all goods around Sirius, whatever the distance. I made it with FLcompanion commod by commod. So, on our server, there is trading activity everywhere.

If anyone is interested, write me a pm.

There’s lines in FLHook.ini that control what cargo is lost (I think).

And hiding stuff from FLCompanion? Don’t do it.

Why’s that? I like to think people would never use that, but since this is utopic, I’d settle for making it as hard as possible.

Yes, I agree with you FriendlyFire. Without the help of these programs for players, we really can hide clan bases, wrecks, best trade routes… And we can put some NPC on bases with hints in rumors to find them. More fun.

What I do to do this is simple : I changed the name of freelancer.ini and I changed this name with an hexa editor in Freelancer.exe
So, when FLexplorer, FLcompanion, FLstats and FLDatastorm are looking for Freelancer.ini, they crash.
I can explain that better with screenshots if you need this.

Anyway… there’s no line for cargo loot in FLhook.ini (I use FLhook plugin).

To Cannon :

Greetings and happy new year !
Just a message to see if you had read what I said recently in this topic because you were absent for a while.
We tried to modify the source code of player control plugin, but we are unable to compile it. Is it something to do to configure Microsoft VC + + 2008 to do this?
Is it possible to know how you do on Discovery for players who die lose all their cargo, ammunition, shield batteries and nanobots included?
Is it possible to obtain this code or help us do this with player control plugin?

Sorry to insist, but we currently have no other options. Thanks for your answer.

how did you fixed the “zone” error?

I got the same error with message and playercontrol plugin…

When it loads FLserver i got

header [Zone] value size missing parameter 1

if the message or playerctrl plugin is installed…
