Mount/dismount equipment in space

mount/dismount an equipment when you are in space

y’know, in all my years with this game that is the first time I have seen that asked for.

I can see that with mountable scanners or tractor beams or so: Things you would basically “route power to” while normally your powerplant would only supply, say, weapons, shields and engines… With visible equipment it would rather look odd.

However, to answer your question: No, there is not such a hack and frankly, it would require a plugin with rather extensive function overrides, since the properties of hardpoints and hardpoint types are hardcoded for (almost?) each type individually and there are numerous functions accessing them directly.

I was thinking of creating a new topic about this “mounting & dismounting equipment while you are in space” but I saw that someone already created one and wasabitoy did asked for it.

Maybe a hack for .exe or .dll and/or making a plugin so it can be enabled.

This feature will be epic. lol!

I noticed it when I was just playing. I was thinking of changing my equipment but when I went to the inventory to change equipment to a looted equipment, I was unhappy because it cannot be dismount while you are in space or in flight and that’s sucks. >_<

So maybe ADOXA can do the trick/magic once again. I was happy when he did the HAIL plugin.

Breaking the physics - sucks IMO.
This is like you ask that a ship can be repaint in cruise
You will lose the scared feel for looted weapon to be saved, but you can disconnect in space where is allowed.

Anyway, the game is too old so good luck breaking it’s bones.

What do you mean breaking the physics?

Hey! this is just only a GAME and you can do WHATEVER you like. Even this game is OLD I will still play this EPIC game and I know that “Star Citizen” will be there soon, who CARES I will still play them BOTH.

I was thinking when you are in a HUGE ship. Is there a problem if you are in a CAPITAL ship and you can’t dismount or mount an equipment. I think that is POSSIBLE because a huge ship like a capital or even a FREIGHTER to CARRIER, you can dismount and mount NEW or LOOTED equipment if the ship is on STANDBY or if she is STEADY. The ship is big with crews like engineers, medics, technicians, tacticians, etc.

So why not make it also possible to a star FIGHTER where you can also dismount or mount equipment.

Did you mean jettison an item? Why the hell are you going to throw an item? If you can sell them with some credits. I am not talking about jettison an item, I am talking about mount & dismount, okay?

Don’t mess with a woman boy. LOL!

Bow, Thank you…

… nm Lady, and who knows, maybe I mod sticky gremlins that sucks out hull trough shield.

haha! uhmm… Sir, maybe you can make a mod like that. It will be awesome too. sticky gremlins… LOL!

I just need a little respect here, okay? I don’t want this topic to be flamed. Just having fun and playing Freelancer in more & different possible ways.

I just want this feature to be enabled. That’s all. Other people might also like this feature to be on/enable. When this done, we move on. Nothings harmed when you ask for a help or request to make this possible, right?

We cool yo! Peace men. hehe!

I don’t think it’s anything against you, selene. It’s just that the old(er) timers are used to and fairly jaded by a really frequent pattern: newbies come about, ask for a ton of things, usually either already answered or impossible (50/50), and then disappear without giving anything in return.

It can give you a negative attitude towards new people in general, even though that’s not a uniform group.

Here’s the thing about new functionality, too. It’s hard. There are a small number of us that are capable of doing things like that, and they all have limited time. Sometimes Adoxa swoops in with some magic, sometimes he doesn’t.

As FF says, it just comes off as a little… entitled. Especially when, for all intents and purposes, you ask for something, you get that thing, and then you ask for more. People like you (yes, sweeping generalization for newer modders) tend to be somewhat parasitic. The attitude doesn’t help matters much more.

I am sorry for the attitude that I have shown. My intentions were not like the other players that you two were saying.

In return I “thank” or “praise” the modders who made an awesome feature for the game and also who helped to solve (an) issue(s). I am not like the others who just downloaded it and did not leave a comment. I know it is not enough to say thank you but what else can I do? I am no professional on programming a game. I am just a player who also plays the game the same as like you and btw, I also do want to contribute in this community but tbh, I have no skills to prove. I am here just to support for the Freelancer fan community.

Again, I am sorry to make you guys feel that way.

I did get a new computer (Core i7 3.4GHz 3770, 8GB RAM, but only Intel HD4000 gfx), so I’m getting used to Win7 and 64-bit. Working on CMDkey atm, then it’ll have to be ANSICON, then I’ll see about getting into some FL stuff (you just got lucky with Hail).

Damn man, you’re tempting me to ship you a proper GPU once and for all.

At least the other specs are awesome

Unless you’re bloody insane, that CPU is the best money can buy right now.

For a work computer, it’s top tier.

you need your eyes checked, FF

GPU.

It was quite a bargain, as I was really only expecting to get an i5. I was going to upgrade to a Radeon HD7770, but lacking a credit card, eBay wouldn’t let me add it. Just means I should be able to wait a while and get a better card for the same price… Anyway, I shouldn’t really need a card until SC comes out…
