it point to that for the error.

How do i tell it a new directory for the flhook.lib?

thanks

Jericus

ps Im learn this as I go, sorry if it a dumb question.

Hello,

Im working on a mod that use flhook, I notice it overrules the distance offsets in the content.dll and server.dll for spawn distance and persistence. they both seemed cap at 6500. anyone know how to tell flhook to expand its range for the npc spawns?

Thanks

Jericus

Hey,

I have been working on a SP mod for a while now. I am trying to create an explosion with a blast radius of 500k (impulse looks to work, just no real damage on the solars). looks like 10k s the cap.ideally I want everything with in 500k to be destroyed. Also I found the hack for MP fuse solar distance, I was wondering if there was a way to do it in SP?

Thanks

Jer

everything is where is should be. but nothing being spawned.

anyone still out there that can help?

what about a jumpbouy thats been deleted? I know in the systems I was working on that had that error, there was a lot of stuff added then deleted. what if it FL has some code some where for something that was there but is now gone.?

its a shot in the dark. Im going to see if I can recreate the error. At least if I can recreate it it might help figure out the cause.

Later

Jer

this was on lancers reactor

here

http://www.lancersreactor.org/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=38571

seem to point to a solar issue.

Hey Sushi,

I was getting this on the 19.xx I was working on. NOt sure what was causing it. I think you right though, it defiantly pop up on jumps, and I only saw it on new systems , not pre-existing ones.

hope this help little , it not really the answer. maybe it will help you figure it out.

Nice work on TOW BTW

Hey

I am having the same problem. I have followed what you have here. I have two weapon platforms next to eachother. they shoot the NPCs, but not eachother. I have the pilot_pop job block set right. I have the behavior = nothing. yet it as if they dont see eachother. but they can see ships fine.

and they use auto turrets

Hey,

I need to find away to control the about of ammo dropped by the NPCs. My server admin are worries about NPC farming. I know I can make ammo disappear with the loot_unseen line. can I control how much of it drops some how?

Jer

what about changing the nano bot to heal energy?

what i am thinking is having a astiroid drop them. We are deal with econmy issues. I though is if Nanos worked like gas, and we can make rock drop them. we would have fuel, minable reasourse.

Can the Nano be made to A) heal energy instead of hull? and B) can I make them loot?

what weapon effect are you using? you may need to hex edit the weapon_large in the freelancer.exe. it’s a shot in the dark.

its sound like an FX problem. also you can look in the effect_types.ini increase the lod to 0, 10000. find the effect that the weapon is using in the weapon_equip. in the effects.ini it will have a type. eg

weapon_equip

[Munition]
nickname = turbolaser_ammo03
hp_type = hp_gun
requires_ammo = false
hit_pts = 2
hull_damage = 2000
energy_damage = 0
one_shot_sound = fire_capship_forward_gun
munition_hit_effect = li_plasma_03_impact
const_effect = Purple_turbolaser_proj---this one
lifetime = 14.000000
force_gun_ori = false
mass = 1
volume = 0.000100

[Effect]
nickname = Purple_turbolaser_proj
effect_type = EFT_WEAPON_LARGE_PROJ ----- find this
vis_beam = turbolaser_beam_Purple

in the effects_type you will find

[EffectType]
nickname = EFT_WEAPON_LARGE_PROJ
priority = 1
generic_priority = 1
lod_type = EFT_LOD_LARGE
radius = 100
visibility = EXIST_OFFSCREEN
update = CULL_UPDATE 
run_time = -1
pbubble = 1250, 1500 ---- try changing this to 0, 10000

that with the exe hex edit worked for me.

good luck. hope it helps

thanks Sizer. good to see a familiar name. FW’s has a cloak now and people complianing. I thought if there was a counter to it , the cloak wouldn’t be such a ulitimit technology.

Hey does any of the FL guru’s out there know how to make a weapon that can knock out that cloaking device?

only thing I could think of was haveing low hitpoint on the device. if it gets hit with AOE damage it would be destroyed.

any other creative solutions?

thanks

Hello,

Im working on a PVP area for freeworlds 18.xx . i am trying to make ship and equipment 1. I tryed using the multiplier, didnt like that. then I made copies of all the ships and equipment in there repective goods files. set all the prices to 1 and it still kicks me.

Any idea out there? or away around the cheat checker?

Jer

I was think about making a consumible fuel. would one be able to turn the nanobots or the shield batteries to replenish the power core?

thx

Jer

Hey Qi,

I tried the moving of the jump out point to diffrent Hp’s. didnt seem to do anything other then making the docking points to dock with the buoy 5k awway from the buoy, but I still spawned 562 meters from the location of the buoy as defined in the system file. I did try putting a spin of the object in the in the system file and that did move the spawn point but still 562 away from center.

so, Freelance must be using the location and oreintation of the buoy in the system when defining the exit point. I also tryed :

common.dll	13E678	2000f = how far behind a jumpgate a player will be spawned - from this point, the player will be thrown forward at exceptional speed until he/she has reached the gate ~fox

didnt seem to help.

Im going to try having the bouy jump to a base docking point and puting a spin the base. scale it up and see if it spawns in differnt locations. if it work we remove the sur and mat files and it should basiclly be invisable and unhittable. its a shot in the dark but I’ll see.

Jer

I figured out the Base thing, I just hex edit the content file so that any rep higher then .9 wont hostile to friendly fire and hardcoded the rep at start up.

Now to just get these cap to fly without nodding.

thx

jer

How do I get the bases not to get mad if a missle is launched near it?

thx

Jer

EDIT*

ps what the cure for the NPC cap ships from not nobbing around in space?
