• All non-dynamic asteroids could be also dynamic asteroids
• You can define their movement

[DynamicAsteroids]
asteroid = da_debris_med2
count = 200
placement_radius = 150.000000
placement_offset = 90.000000
max_velocity = 8.000000 <-- here
max_angular_velocity = 2.000000 <-- and here
color_shift = 1, 1, 1

• All dynamic asteroids are destructible by default. Correct me, if i’m wrong
• You can create as many fields on the same position, as you want, but above 8 of those fields overlaying, Freelancer can’t properly load the system.
• You have to play around with the count and the placement_radius, to set the field look like a non-dynamic field.

2. Sorry, don’t know this

3. Definitely no

I hope, that i could help you, but you should read the dynamic asteroids tutorial, before you try to create this fields at your own http://the-starport.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=65&Itemid=29

I don’t mean any hit detection. I am wondering, why i see just one explosion, while i used the same code as Why485. This is, what i asked for.

The mod will be on the server, but it must be an optional mod for the client, so i can’t use different archetyps. Robocop said on the last page, that he got it to work with Why485’s code, so i used it, too.

I have used dispersion_angel (last line in weapon_equip). But i can’t use another archetyp, because it is a optional modification. Or am i wrong, that the archetyp have to be the same for the people without the mod and those, which have the mod?

I don’t know why, but i don’t get this effect to work. I wanted to modify the Battleship Flaks already implemented in the discovery mod, because they aren’t realy flakguns in my eyes. So i placed the gf_explosion_super_flak.ale in the fx/explosions folder and modified the entry in weapon_equip:

[Motor]

separation_explosion = sever_debris
auto_turret = true
turn_rate = 1000

the effects_explosion:

[Effect]
nickname = li_flakcannon01_impact
effect_type = EFT_EXPLOSION_SHIP
vis_effect = gf_explosion_super_flak
;snd_effect = med_explosion1
snd_effect = flak_explosion_sound
lgt_effect = elite_flash_to_red
lgt_range_scale = 30
lgt_radius = 30

and the explosions_ale

[VisEffect]
nickname = gf_explosion_super_flak
alchemy = fx\explosions\gf_explosion_super_flak.ale
effect_crc = 290209852
textures = fx\sarma.txm
textures = fx\lightbeam.txm
textures = fx\standardeffects.txm
textures = fx\kioncannon.txm

The weapon has the new values, but the effect is just one small explosion, like it was before.

I know, that the Hamburg City Freelancer Server has a dynamic economy without any shutdown. How can this be?

W0dka hasn’t released a flhook-plugin for a dynamic economy, has he?

So every server, which alter the cost of goods when you dock at a station, can also run every code on my machine, it wants to?

I am registered, but i am not in the registered users group.

But i think, that i must specify my first question. Is it possible to automatically update an ini-file on the client, when it was changed on the server during freelancer is runnning. I think, that this is needed for a dynamic economy, for example.

Thanks for the fast answer. How can i be added to the registered users group?

Is it possible to automatically update an ini-file on the client, when it was changed on the server? And in this case, would this be complicated?
