The email address is visible there, but it’s not editable - is that by design?
If not, I think it’d be great if changing email addresses was supported, I suspect many have changed email addresses… I recall in some forum software it’s a permission setting.

It’s indeed nice to see the site is still up, thank you for keeping the accumulated knowledge in existence.

Perhaps it might be possible for the site to turn into a SC modding community…

Well in theory I should get rid of the distortion when using the differnt fov values. I set the WinCamera back to the default value, which sets the HUD back into the position it was in before the changes… which isn’t perfect but better for actual playing since the player’s names can be identified again

Does anybody know how to calculate new fixed_height values for the fonts?

EDIT: I tried using the calculator for 1280x1024, which gave me the following values:

[WinCamera]
fovx = 51.4807577023

[CockpitCamera]
fovx = 66.5644552838
znear = 2.000000

[ChaseCamera]
fovx = 66.5644552838

[DeathCamera]
fovx = 66.5644552838

Now, the screen looks like this:

My playername is test1, so ~4 characters are chopped off… is this fixed with setting the font-heights? Also, the HUD seems a bit chopped off at the ends… but I guess one can’t improve that, given that the elements just about align correctly with 4:3 fovx values.

If I remember correctly, this is the way banking works in CD 1.31:
you’ll need the following command specified in messageboarddb.ini:

[Command]
Type = ESB
Cmd = esbtransfer

Then you can type /info esbtransfer <player><amount>, <amount>will be transferred to <player>and 5% (?) of <amount>to [ESB]Manhattan_Zentrale (you’ve probably come accross an error message about this character not existing when you start CD)… our bank used to be called ESB, therefore the names… you could give the command another identifier though in the ini (e.g. Cmd = transfer), but I’m pretty sure that the character’s name is hardcoded.

Note: This will result in the transferring player getting kicked, and the recipient will get a message that the next time he logs in he’ll find some more cash on himself

(For some weird reason my CD in my virtualbox isn’t working again, so I can’t test it atm, but I’m pretty sure the above is correct)</amount></player></amount></amount></player>

I remember that FLMM 1.4beta something failed deactivating mods that had something like this in their script:

rename file (to make a backup)
copy file from mod dir to FL dir (to replace the file that was just renamed)

… looked like the scripts were parsed in the same direction during both activation and deactivation.

Hi,

firstly, sorry for not showing up here anymore for a LONG time… Uni has been keeping me busy at a rate that requires more than 24h/day to get everything done… -.-

anyway,
The error message happens because you activated the MySQL features, which require a DLL that was never released. To get rid of it, just uncheck the “Load (or unload) library” checkbox under properties->SQLDLL config

Basically my aim was to develop a forum based system that allowed users to buy and sell stuff like lights and NPC-tags, and although it worked on my local win server 03 machine, it caused CD to crash on the windows 2000 machine we used for Leipzig City, and I never found out why before the server was closed

Did it ask you to download & execute a file or did it use some browser flaw to do a drive by attack that didn’t require user interactions?

As far as I remember, the .de.vu domains automatically activate popups, too. You should be able to disable them in the control panel of the domain though, if I remember correctly and assuming the stuff hasn’t changed in the past… x years lol

Does anyone remember the Ioncross Total War server? They had e.g. speed enhancers for ships, which, when bought, would lead to a kick and exchange your engine for a faster version (at least I guess so, I didn’t code it )… I think one could do something like this, but with weapons (that are exchanged more often than ships) some more elegant solution should be used…

@Nieckey:

PS. others about queue and http timeout, i dont want to see flhook and flserver lag when it sending request to a slow http server, how i avoid this problem?

When you need to send a request, shove it in a queue handled by another thread It gets a bit complicated when you need to react on replies, but there should be loads of stuff on threading & queuing on the web… try codeproject or codeguru.

FLhook has a lot better functionality in the way it accesses FL Server and i have looked at the source code but am unable to follow it. What I would like is a FLHook dll that allows external access to it’s commands and is C# friendly

To be honest, I dislike the idea of people executing whatever they want on my machine, which somehow seems to be the next step…

I think that this is VERY good. Much appreciated!

the registry path should be either HKLM\Software\LeipzigCity\CheatersDeath or HKCU\Software\LeipzigCity\CheatersDeath

I really like the warptunnel

I personally fly with WASD & a few others that are “in range”, which is why I suggested the rebind

Does the CTD occure if the fields are set to visit = 128 (invisible on starmap) as well?

just a random idea ^^

And if you find out how to mod it, remove the shaking from battleships pleeaasse

The other popular method is using engine-kill. If you’re using a german keyboard I suggest you re-bind the button (I personally have it on ‘Q’), the standard button is ‘Z’ afaik.
Basically, the concept behind enginekill is that your flightpath won’t change (if you fly “north” your ship will still move north), but you can look into another direction. This is useful, as it gives you more distance to the opponent.

To do that, just fly, hit your enginekill once (it’s a toggle-button), and start moving your nose around. You’ll see that your speed decreases and eventually goes into the negatives as well. If you hit your enginekill-button again, or use any other speed-impairing command like afterburner, reverse thrust, accelerate/decelerate etc, the effect will be aborted.

Did you make a grey UI?
