MP Player Start Options

Thu Oct 12, 2006 5:13 pm by fadius

I want to be able t allow players joining the server to be able to choose who they will start as. Say for example, they can choose from Corsairs, Liberty or Rheinland.

Based upon there choice, this would affect the ship they start with, there reps with other factions, and where they start.

I would need this to work regardless of what the server newcharacter.ini file reads. Is this possible? If so, how would I approach this?

There is a program called FLshell that allows the players joining a server to choose restart options and a few other things. Once it is installed into the freelancer directory it allows players joining the server to type "restart Navy", be kicked from the server and when they join again they have a navy ship and all of their enemies are the same as the Navy. You can also make up new resart templates too. I can give you a hand with these if you like, you just need the Ioncross datafiles for their hashcodes.
FLshell, is only available inside a very big pile of utilities. If you would rather i can just email you the file instead, its only about 500Kb.

I e-mailed you so you can e-mail me the program. Thank you very much.

As i know, you can solve that only by an external program on server-side like FLServer or others.
We use DynEcon at evolvedones.com . There, the reputation of a tagged char will be set according his faction-settings.
