Is there a way to lock jumpgates and tradelanes when your fa

Tue Aug 30, 2005 4:45 am by lvxoccvlta

Since you can't dock with a hostile base, neither should you be able to dock with a hostile jumpgate/trade lane. It's always seemed rather rediculous that factions allow you to use their transportation services, even if you are hostile to them.

So, my question is: whether it's possible to lock the tradelanes/jumpgates from players who have a negative faction rating? This would force enemy players to take non traditional routes-- through jump holes. It would also give players in merchant vessels a fleeting chance if they could only get to a trade lane.

Has anyone attempted to mod it like this before?

What you have to remember is that in the story Trent & Juni need to use them to flee Liberty. So any alterations will mean you'll never get out of Liberty alive , as the badlands are a hell of a long way to go on cruise with all of Liberty after you.

Erm.... didn't Trent and Juni flee Liberty via a forgotton jump gate in the badlands near Icarus Station rather than the normal Jump Gates? My memories not so great though, it's been a veeerrryyyy long time since I last played vanilla Freelancer.

yes, they ddi\- ah SH!***** i can't backspace! AIIIEEEE.

In any case, they left thorugh(blah_) a forgotten jumphole, yes, but that jumphole is hostile to you. It therefore would be locked if you had this activated.

again, sorry for errors, but i can't backspace! WTF?!?!?!

tradelanes and gates CAN be hostile,you're just not making the right factions angry.download my cvfc roleplay enhancer mod(MP only) in mod announcements and play as a xeno or other disreputable faction - you'll see they can't use jumpgates or tradelanes.

The future is not bright for the lad if he cannot utilise either cursors or mouse to move the cursor to another position, and use the delete key.
Oh dear, oh dear indeed!

In another thread Argh suggested to edit the weapons of Jumpgates killing even strongest ship/shield. That would be a de facto closed JG. For Jump Holes you had to create/edit some weapon platforms nearby.
If you set the damage values high enough even the fastest freelancers in space would have to face zero-tolerance

but with uberweaps on other side, to kill u be4 u take control of the ship
