That sounds extremely cool. Let me know how it's progressing- if you've written it correctly, I may even be able to integrate this into the Toolkit

well hopefully the next FLMM will allow options to be redefined after activating so its not necessary to completely deactivate all that xml otherwise it will just have to run as an addon,which might be better see how it can really be used with any build of FL that doesn't remove any bases or ships

Wow, this is great Sure, I like Trent alright, but after seeing him through the Campaign, I kinda like a fresh taste. Especially because I tend to find a faction and more-or-less adhere to them at the end of my SP games, essentially joining their factions. So I should look a littl more like them, shouldn't I? I tihnk so ^^

Characters are still one of the biggies on my "10 miles down the road" to-do list So they're still pretty elusive for me, but it's apparent that they aren't to everyone Very nice work.

Todays developments:Servers will no longer need an account wipe to use this mod!(Thnx TheJkWhoSaysNi) **happy**

Player edited costumes are not possible unfortunately *sad* and so my next priority will be making a full costume set representative of all the factions and hopefully label it appropriately so people can understand what they're getting when they're selecting their starting costume. cheers

Hi Cold_Void!

This mods sounds extremely useful. When I overworked my mod (The Monkeys) for the Monkey Universe server I searched for such a modification, as I did not have the time to work on it myself (and maybe would not have got it to work).

So, if you are finished it would be great to have it downloadable here on TLR.

So, go on with the great work!

One question: Do you also have robot bodies in it? Because I have several new factions that are robots and could use an MP robot costume.

Well after a few hours experimenting with Cold_Void yesterday it seems that the player can use any costume which has a pilot entry on the server by changing their newcharacter.ini file.

The main problem is this: your costume cannot be changed in-game. You have to choose a costume which has a [pilot entry on both the client and the server then modify your newcharacter.fl file before the game starts.

As for custom characters.. I've had a thought. Although I did take a quick look at the packets I recieved when Cold_Void created a character on my server i couldnt see any obvious references to head, body etc.

However, thinking about it some more... the pilot info (at least) must be being sent for this to work. Are there lists of bodypart IDs anywhere? I found a series of numbers being sent, which looked like possible IDs. Of course... even if the info is being sent from the client, we already know freelancer.exe doesn't process the info and creates your character based on serverside settings apart from which pilot to use.

yep all of the robots are available.

added new 'prosthetic' hands in two colors (reskinned benchmark ones) as well as robot-upgrade hands (5 fingers) that fit robot skeletons.

this mod looks frickin awesome, and i think it should of been drepted up a long time ago..but i see one delema..ONLY the oplayer ever sees his char..everyone else see's his ship..so overall this is cool but untill someone makes a mod where people can interact on the ground *if its at all possible*..well ...ehhhhhh.....

Question: Would everyone like their faction to be associated with the costume they pick or would you rather pick your faction seperately from your character?

hellllllloooooo? *echo echo echo*

Number 1.

I think number 1 is most appreciated in MP (clan, RPG etc.) but number 2 would be preferable in SP (more choice; and as a freelancer you may wear strange clothes anyway )
