A really needed addition: the restart command!
-
Hello you FLHook coders!
I’ve always been wondering if that was possible… If you’ve ever used FLShell, one of its neatest features was the restart command
I rememember that, the 88flak’s mod of flhook has this function, maybe you can check it.

This feature has just been made available with FLAC

……
@ 0p minimum donation is 35 euros
you call it “donation” 4 tax reasons?
(While i doubt, that will help.
AND - if you make it a commercial price, you might be able
to express a negativ income [if your expenses should be higher])Oh and btw - does Starport tolerate commercial adds?
Maybe Starport should request a minimum donation of € 36 for each.PS. This remembers me to express my respect 4 Worfeh and everyone else, who made that possible.

Please remember to stay polite. Eagle’s… pricings on modding material might be a bit badly regarded, but FLAC is still a tool used by many servers and should be considered on par with FLHook and the like. It’s all up to the end-user to decide what program to use, even though I myself would definitely never use FLAC as paying for such a program goes against my vision of what the community should be.
I’d seriously like to see FLHook beat the crap out of FLAC with plugins ;D
-
I dont call it anything for any reason its not my program, a question was asked and i answered it. I posted regarding FLAC to let people know that something else offered this feature.
Besides nothing in life is free and even if Eagle didnt ask for a donation for the program id still have sent him one for all the hard work he puts into keeping the program up to date.
Just as i would if we used FLHook.

Well, you are right, everyone has the choice which software he wants to use and which level of anti cheat he wants to have. We decided to get FLAC because the FlHook version didn’t offer any anti cheat at the time we used it.
We decided to spend 35 Euros on something we think is worth the cash to keep the server cheat free. We think we owe it to our users and I see it the way that I don’t pay for the software but for the time someone spent to create it. We also spend a lot of bucks on a rented server, shouldn’t we do that either?
It is also funny that we cry havoc when we have to spend 35 Euros ONCE on a software with constant development and close support and on the other hand spending 100 bucks on caramel-apples and rollercoaster is the most normal thing in the world.
As already said, we shouldn’t discuss someone’s decisions and the point if it is worth it or not to spend cash on certain things as we’ll end up discussing the meaning of life. I see advantages in both ways and appreciate the work guys put into programming such tools. With those tools we can run our servers and everyone programming them deserves our appreciation disregarding if we like his approach to this matter.
Finally the Starport is a plattform about Freelancer information and I think the poeple who migrated to here from pages we clearly pointed out what was wrong about them, are able to discuss every tool available to run a server. I bet this was the point Dragnite had in mind when he mentioned FLAC, it’s about information here and people can decide what they do, finally it’s a personal choice.

ive no prob with paying for software
what i dont like is that its not possible to use both flac + flhook anymore (many features on my server require custom flhook code and i dont like to loose that stuff)i also heard that the update process of FLAC is not really good and that you have 0 control over it
-
True but this doesnt bother me if ever there is a problem i and the rest of the server ops work with eagle by sending error logs and in the most case the problem is usually fixed within a few hours to 24 hours.
I agree though it would be nice to use both together as each program offers some things the other doesnt.
-
I agree with the choice being up to the end-user. I personally would probably never purchase FLAC, because 1) 88 Flak is built along M0tah’s new FLHook versions, and 2) I’m simply flat broke. I don’t know what 35 Euros translates to in Dollars, but for me shelling out $10 for some groceries is something I cringe about every few days. =P
Also, in regard to the comment of the kick-before-beaming on M0tah’s Hook versions, I think you’ll be fond of .kbeam - a new addition, and it’s like .beam on crack. It kills player > modifies last_base > respawns > adds cargo back. A bit faster than kicking yourself from the server, and fully stable - I fell in love with it from day one and I dunno what I’d do without it. lol
But anyways, back on topic, I think a /restart command would make a worthy plugin for FLHook’s new plugin version. I myself don’t really have much use for it in 88 Flak as much of the mod is based around forging yourself from nothing, however I know that this was a favorite of many servers, especially RP ones. I suppose the uses for large clan implementation are obvious as well.
Heh, come to think actually, I think it’d be a neat gimmick if you could pay hundreds of millions of credits to save your current char as a restart template - that way real high-end clans could by themselves create a new template for new recruits. -
@fox: I have to say your kbeam sounds rather ingenious
But that idea of saving your char as a restart template, now that’d be a good cash sink for some ;D

i can think of one clan with more money than most, KoF, like… chackotay would be trading… all day lol. thats all hey did! @ Torch, he still kicking around?
