Disable Print Screen

Is there a way to disable print screen? It would need to be a server side fix so the players can not get around it.

We've secretly replaced their dilithium crystals with new Folgers crystals. Now let's watch them go to warp.

Yes you can, with a mod that is required for the server. It is possible to add new key commands, but also to remove existing ones. It would require a client-side mod, however. But I think I know what you are up to. I will try and see what I can do.

Use this file in a mod, put it into DATA\INTERFACE; it removes the Screenshot function for Freelancer. When you do it, you still drop a frame or two, but that's because Windows still copies the visible screen into the clipboard, but Freelancer ignores the key.

Have fun with the file.

Try contacting the guys who made FLCD, maybe you could use their program for your server, so that people without that Mod will be kicked automatically.

why would you wan't to disable it though?

Let's just say there are people who knew how to exploit this in an unfair way, I won't explain in detail, of course. Actually, Engine Kill provides another exploit, so I suggest deactivating both key commands in your mods.
