Selecting different start based on faction

Mon Feb 20, 2006 7:39 am by fadius

What I am looking for is a way to have a player select what faction he/she would like to be affiliated with:

Pirates, Liberty, Rogues, ect...

Based on that the server would then run a different newcharacter.ini file so that player would start on Planet Hamburg with a certain ship.

The player woudalso havean option to select an already existing charcter.

Does anyone know if this is even possible? If so, has it been done?

I'm always glad to answer this one

here you'll find the mod you want (i wrote it

)

it allows players to select their character/faction/location and uses unique character ensembles for every pilot(sorry,lip movements don't work), unfortunately player-side selected ships aren't possible without sacrificing faction or start location because ships need two entries- archetype + loadout - but the good news is the server tool lets you select starting ship(beware, some of the loadouts are hot, eg i accidentally left in an armor from an NPC loadout or the guns are too powerful for the ship)

oh and there's also the server operator mod - it doesn't have selectable pilots but otherwise the basic features are the same
