Unlocking "admin" ships and IDs
-
Greetings,
I’m running my own instance of Freelancer Discovery on a local server, and I want to force assign an ID typically reserved to a faction (i.e. Wild) and assign the gunboat that is unavailable for sale.
Is there an FLhook command that allows me, the admin, to give a game character permission to assign themselves to restricted IDs in game? They keep getting the “access denied” error whenever attempting to fetch the Wild ID to assign to themselves? The character already has super admin privileges as well.
EDIT: I’ve added some screenshots to show the problem I’m trying to get around, using FLhook’s admin console.
-
You could use DSAccountManager to modify the character to have the ID, or use the FLHook addcargo command to add the ID to the character (you’ll then have to mount it).
-
That sounds perfect to me. Where do I get a list of the raw codes that corresponds to things like IDs?
I tried the DSAM tool, but it appears to only show a subset of valid objects, and the IDs were not included in the list.
-
Just for further context, here is what DSAM shows me in my cargo. I bet one of these unknown items is bound to be my ID, but it has a long string of numbers. That’s the part I’m not sure about, if there’s a lookup table that can help me pull in the correct code that corresponds with “The Wild ID”
-
Look for the dsy_license Tractors in DATA/EQUIPMENT/misc_equip.ini.
Not sure off the top of my head why DSAM wouldn’t be able to handle the hashes, assuming you have DSAM configured for the correct FL install directory.
-
Interesting. I’ll give this a shot.
-
So as an update, it appears my configuration in DSAM was pointing to the wrong directories. I fixed that and all the IDs came over correctly. I was using the vanilla Freelancer install directory instead of the Discovery one.
In other news, I did manage to force my ship to be a Scorpion Gunboat with a Wild ID, but every time I attempt to undock from base, the server crashes. I might have uncovered some kind of race condition, but it’s not clear what it is, precisely.

Did you try to swap a character’s ship out in DSAM without changing equipment? That’ll break some stuff I bet.
