'88 Flak's FLHook

LancerSolurus

**Having a little trouble with the cloak part of Flak Hook…

Added FLHook.dll to [Libraries] in dacomsrv.ini, ignore the gls workaround, tried it with and without it…**

[Libraries]
readfile.dll
engbase.dll
x86math.dll
rendcomp.dll
system.dll
Thorn.dll
DebugLib.dll
rp8.dll
shading.dll
gls_workaround.dll
FLHook.dll

New plyr ships start with cloak_nomad cloaking device, nothing changed in the weapon_equip.ini entry, it’s the stock FL cloaking device. Also, I don’t have a goods entry for it since the players aren’t allowed to mount or unmount it.

[CloakingDevice]
nickname = cloak_nomad
ids_name = 1
ids_info = 1
hit_pts = 1000000000
DA_archetype = Equipment\models\weapons\no_fighter_gun.cmp
material_library = Equipment\models\hardware.mat
HP_child = HPConnect
mass = 1
volume = 2
power_usage = 0
cloakin_time = 4
cloakout_time = 4
cloakin_fx = no_cloakeffect05
cloakout_fx = no_cloakeffect05

Started server, ship is cloaked, when typing /uc it says I don’t have a cloaking device. Log into my main server which is running FLHook 1.6.0 by Wodka, it says ‘Uncloaking’ but I stay cloaked. That was just a test to see if it would at least do something. Here is the entries from Cloak.ini in the Data folder…

[CloakDevices]
cloak_nomad = 30000,10000,4000
cloak_nomad_battleship = 60000,20000,8000
cloak_nomad_srtc = 30000,10000,4000
cloak_osiris = 60000,20000,8000
cloak_solurus = 90000,30000,12000
cloak_fighter = 30000,10000,4000
cloak_gunboat = 60000,20000,8000
cloak_cruiser = 60000,20000,8000
cloak_battleship = 60000,20000,8000
cloak_nomad_gunboat = 90000,30000,12000
cloak_shadows = 60000,20000,8000

Any ideas would be appreciated. I am testing this on my quad core Vista machine. I will test it later tonight on my main server which is a single core XP machine.

For the cloak feature you do actually need a client-side DLL, sorry about that. I can’t seem to find w0dk4’s original mod, but you can get the DLL in the plugin version’s cloak plugin.

Actually I realize now that this actually isn’t documented in the readme either, I’ll go update that as well.

**Thats what I needed to know, I was already using that dll in the 1.6.0 plugin version.

Appreciate it!**

**Still having a bit of trouble, any chance you could post a working dacom.ini and a dacomsrv.ini [Libraries] sections?

Sorry to be so much trouble ;)**

i’ve had the same problem with this version of FLHook since v1.6.1 (i think, might have been 1.6.2, worked fine before), no matter how many times i messed with the files. I can swap over to the plugin version works no problem

Both are taken from 88 Flak - feel free to download the entire mod if you need an example of a working config.

Thanks alot, I will try that. I believe that is one of the ways I already had tried it though. If it doesn’t work I will see about recompiling the source files since I really want to play with player ship docking. I have quite a few cap ships in my mod that I want to add that feature for

Ooops, I forgot to change the socket connection password read file - it was trying to find them in the main config file instead of the general one. The latest 1.6.7 dev build fixes it.

Also, I would not recommend using 1.6.6, since it has a nasty bug that can cause the server to randomly crash. Said bug should be fixed in the above dev build, however.

Thx M0tah! It works

Strange thing in 1.6.7:

rehash
```works like```
restartserver

M0tah

That is odd. I just tested it and both commands seem to do what they’re supposed to. Could you try it with 1.6.7 dev build 19? Thanks.

Yep! Problem fixed, thx

Question: Are the FLHook features optional? I don’t want cloaking, but I do like the repair guns and selective docking.

? Offline

Yes

Is it normal for cloak? (Vertical and horisontal effect)

as far as i remember it is normal for rheinland fighters, yes. all other have horizontal effects along the Z axis as long as hpcloak01 is oriented like this:```
0, 0, 1
0, 1, 0
0, 0, 1

@M0tah
fount a total weired bug by the way it easy to repraduce
wee are going to do a player wipe soon
when you have no players say like a new server
crate a account you get kicked by flservers anticheat
but get this if you use a old char and add it to the dir
and log on with that the server will crash
but after that you never get the bug again

so there must be something up with the anticheat
patch in flhook

enyways test it and let me know the fix
well i have the fix lol but its not covensional

still i would like to know why

? Offline

I did Сaps dockable on my Faw mod by FLHook 1.6.7 test 19 and later from RC131 and svn

but

when player1 undocks from other player2 Cap, player1 is invulnerable.

Someone know how to fix this problem?

Alex.

You sure that isn’t the undock protection?
