Call sign

Tired of being called “Freelancer Alpha one dash one”? Here’s a plugin that let’s you change it.

That looks awesome Adoxa… only one prob… I really dont want ppl mucking with the Freelancer.ini … as that can lead to probs (seen & unforseen)… any chance of packing this into the SP console plugin m8 ?
and switchable via a code…

or even better… via Hack… some form of “launcher” frontend…

still… great plugin m8 dam fine work you do , dam fine!

Niice…

This changes in Mp using your client ID anyway, but at least we have something that works in SP too now…

Bas

Hm, does this plugin reads out the faction name in front of the player?
for instance, Outcasts - Bas ?
(while outcasts is the faction, would I be called Outcast then instead of Freelancer?)

Vesko

Nice idea Bas, but I doubt it does that.

It’d be nice if we had some plugin that did do that…

hint: there is a readme file

@Xarian: Is editing freelancer.ini really that different to editing dacom.ini? BTW, the call sign can be changed on the fly - just load a game for it to take effect. Yeah, I guess I could add a “callsign” command to Console, but as yet, it has no initialisation, so the plugin would remain, anyway. Hm, if I add it to Hack, I could have drop-down lists to select everything… That’d also counter problems some may have with mods that don’t use freelancer.ini.

@Bas: Thought about doing that, but it’s slightly more complicated. Still, if there’s an interest…? I only did brief MP testing, so it really does work fine in MP, then?
