Mission Impossible - Cargo Extending

Don’t read me wrong here… FLAC is pretty awesome from what i’ve seen it do for others servers… I just feel it wrong to make money from modders/community’s in general…

However… don’t get me started on ms3d…. that’s just a plain wrought when there’s blender… and nothing for freelancer when almost every other format is well covered by some sort of free converter/program…

Yeah, it’s pretty awesome to take the FLHook sourcecode, rewrite it in C#, add some nice features to it and sell it for money (without sharing anything).

Just my few words about FLAC.

“Yeah, it’s pretty awesome to take the FLHook sourcecode, rewrite it in C#, add some nice features to it and sell it for money (without sharing anything).”

I’m sorry but you have no idea about FLAC from the statement above.

Firstly, I have access to the source code and it is not a rewrite of FLHook in any sense. As far as I can see it’s a full build from the ground up. It also is not all done in C#. The hooks and anti-cheat are C++, the user interface and plugin interface are C#.

Secondly, for some people to spend time on a project it costs them to do so. Eagle is a full time developer as far as I am aware, the same as myself, and time spent on one project takes time away from another project which may be a paying one, as well as time away from family. The donation that is required to obtain a license also contributes to the support he provided which was to a fairly professional degree.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that the scenario with FLAC is one that everyone should appreciate or agree with. I am saying that someone putting hard work into something and asking for recompense in doing so is not WRONG, it’s just different to the open source FLHook approach. I don’t think that it needs slandering either simply because the creator of a software package either wants or needs recompense not only for the work they do but their time and effort in supporting the software.

If you want to talk about it without slandering, and with an open mind, I’m happy to do so. If not, my comments end here.

Apologies to the original poster, this appears to be going off-topic. FriendlyFire is correct about the approach that FLAC takes to cargo pods for player ships.

Indeed, please get back to the original topic guys. I know many here don’t appreciate FLAC (and I honestly feel like this too), but this is not the topic to speak about that.

What I can tell is that the stuff FLAC does can be done with FLHook. I have it on my todo list.

One word, bollocks.

Do we talk about FLAC and making money or do we talk here about the possibility to create cargo container attached to player ships filled with cargo?

Both
(Captain Obvious to the rescue)

Maybe let’s get all off-topic posts(including mine) deleted to save this topic?

Apart from being able to do this in FLAC, i don’t know another way to get it working properly. For npc’s it’s easy to enable without any sort of hack or addon, just not for player ships.

I remember Chips’s “Player-mountable cargopod economy” thing.

It’s not that exactly, but still kinda walkaround. Should be in the archive??

Argh’s toolkit has it as well if i remember right, all scripted, came across it while i was looking for something else

i rember one day i was killing eagle and i got banned lol
and a few times after that as well ive never though mutch of FLAC but it did ban when you werent cheating
and there was a few going about using fish eye

Get back on topic, everyone. Don’t make me lock this.

Got Used Cargo Reducing oO

[Armor]
nickname = armor_upgrade_9
ids_name = 458792
ids_info = 458794
category = equipment
hit_pts_scale = 4.1084
HP_child = HPConnect
material_library = equipment\models\hardware.mat
DA_archetype = equipment\models\hardware\br_protective_armor.3db
volume = -201 ; <-- here
mass = 1
lootable = true

Note for modders/coders/hackers: Ofcourse this requires hack because FL des not allow to buy equipment with negative volume value.

The fact is - when you have used cargo hold - removing this negative volume item from ship will give you +201 used cargo hold.

So, what’s code I need to hack to make FL can allow to buy equipment with negative volume value?
