I think its not a bad idea. I personally have never seen it in MP - so i never felt the negative effects, but i know what it is about.
i tried to mod it myself, but after a few attempts i gave up -> i dont know how ur MP cloaks worked.
however, if it is done in a controlled way, it would be a nice addon. cloak + anti-cloak is a fair deal. best would be a either-or mounting, not both.

there is an encryption tool out there (sry i forgot the name who made it). -> it can make sure that only the ones who encrypted it can read it. FL works with it but all ini readers will fail without the key. (i can look the person up @home)

one thing that would be nice is to make it in modules:
encrypt the critical part and leave the modders an interfact to it, where they can adjust the values (stats like energy usage and stuff) of it. this way it could be made that it does NOT shoot and cant be abused, but it would leave modders the freedom to integrate it into thir own mod without knowing the details of how it works.

I offer my help on this. I know the FL-modding world pretty well and have a lot of modding experiance.
I personally would like to see it work in the way i described it.

hell ya! count me in! this is a good idea so plx don't nuke this board moderators !

I've never really been one for MP player cloaks, even if other players had access to Anti-Cloak devices.

What I've always preffered is encounter missions where you would go on an Encounter only to discover that the NPC's have it! Imagine, you get a sum to go to "X" and wipe out a "few" scum. You get there and lo and behold, you've suddenly got more than you bargained for when a Gunboat drops on you. Of course, scripting the mission commision to react to that hasn't been easy, but I think I'd preffer giving players an (enjoyable) sense of "Oh Sh**!!!" sort of zing to the game rather than a headache of wondering where the Munchkin Cloaked PK'ers are.

In short, I think that as a game device, it DOES posess some usability, but I think putting it in the hands of the average player is asking for trouble, as evidenced by the numerous posts in the past and all the server based mods that have gone into banning/blocking it. Just my 2 bits.

ermm see this is what happpens when u o work in school and ur floppy dont work and u cant access email def dont delete this thread LOL i need this

Civil Rights Movement

1. NAACP -
The NAACP stands for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. This association was formed by a group of people with backgrounds of various races in response to the government’s lack of support of equality among all men. This group fought to gain equal rights among the Caucasian race. They stuck together and fought many court battles. The NAACP started off as a small group and gained many members over the years as they fought for they cause. Their immediate affects weren’t to dramatic, but as time told they eventually gained totally equality and to this day they still have their equality.

2. Congress of Racial Quality –
The Congress of Racial Quality or C.O.R.E. was an organization created by James Farmer that fought for equality in schools, work places, and political and economical opportunities. C.O.RE. believed in non-violent solutions and many a time staged “sit-in’s” and freedoms rides/marches. When the organization for started they tried to eliminate racial discrimination and they helped to improve integration of all races and the desegregation of all races. The group made a decent impact and helped the effort but the group became increasing violent so many members left. The group is still around today and as you can see they helped.

3. Black panthers –
The Black Panthers group was created to help protect communities against police brutality and racism. The group also supplied aid to poorer people such as food. The group was inspired Malcolm X and argued to try and unite world cultures with them. The group was involved in several shootouts. The group helped aid the freedom movement, and though it started off slow it gained support and at one point acquired over 2000 members.

4. Montgomery Alabama 1961 Freedom Rides –


5. University of Mississippi 1962 –


6. Selma March 1965 –


7. Alabama Church Bombing –


8. Little Rock nine -


9. Voting Rights Act 1965 –


10. Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1968 –
The acts declared that discrimination in schools, workplaces and all public environments to be illegal and the act of 1968 helped ensure the act of 1964 by making the federal government more responsible for the integration process. The acts still stand today and as you can see we are all considered equal.

11. Stokely Carmichael –


12. Malcom X –
Malcolm X tried to bring the nation of Islam to the people’s attention. It was a church that preached a black twist on the Islam religion. It stated that white men were the devil and black men could defend themselves by any means necessary. He believes that it was wrong what they believe in, and that all are equal and there shouldn’t be any tension. Although he was assassinated his beliefs and will brought this group to the attention of the citizens and helped hinder it.

13. Martin Luther King Jr. –
Martin Luther King Jr. was a Historical black leader. He spoke out with his divine words, and invoked a sense of freedom in his people. He spoke out against racist and fought for equality. His most famous speech “I have Dream” was the most profound speech made against racial oppression. Although Jr. had an untimely death, his legacy lived on, and helped aid the anti-racial uprising eventually leading to Equality.

14. Ku Klux Klan 1960’s –
The KKK suppressed any groups not like them. They were very vulgar in their methods and showed a latent disregard for human life. They rallied all the time, and used freedom of speech as they legal backing. The KKK is still around today and its numbers are still growing but



its my damn history

Sorry, may not be my place to say this, but I was led to believe the rules of these forums applied to everyone . If you want to discuss cloaking with some of the members who've been around a while I can't see why you can't email them and work on your idea outside of TLR.

Sorry sub - there are no exceptions to the rules. Also - you would need to decompile the game engine, and be able to program into the MS code, recompile without any issues, and play it. Its a good idea, but fairly impossible.
