Help please! DLL noob needs a clue modding MP death!
Any advice appreciated!!!
I'd like to modify how death works in MP. I want to make it more of a detterant than just losing your cargo and extra guns. I *am* a programmer, and I'm fully prepared to spend a long time debugging low level code to do this.
Since the only INI flag I could find to do with death was freelancer.ini's [Serverdeath_penalty, I'm assuming that .dll's will have to be the answer. I don't know the first thing about Windows programming though. Do I open up .dll's in Visual Studio? What then?
I did a text search for "death_penalty" and I only found it in flserver.exe, but that's probably just because it's read by the server then sent to the client.
