A friend (thx Speedy) just told me that the LSF-Fraction seems to be missing.

We`re useing the Addon very intensivly whithout any bugs (non related to your addon i rather have to say )so far....great work!!!

thnx i'm glad to hear it - i don't think i did any of the security forces because they're not distinct enough as factions to really merit it - they don't wear different costumes than the navy,and they don't have many or any bases of their own if i remember correctly

Hi Cold_Void,

so the server transfering to an webserver for better performance.
The addon works fine. The only little problem is with IFSO5 and the unknown equipment. Have you solve the problem or any suggest about it?

Also come to my server and see your great work on it. lol

best regards

caot

yes,i think now its either a problem with the lights not having a hash or how internal equipment has been mounted.I don't know when i'll have a "fixed" version available, but it will probably not be soon.

ok when a hash code of the lights or the mounting of it is the problem
i can check it this week and try to solve the prob.
i use always the same startingship and look in the mod folders for the right
use of the equipments.

so i wrote the result here.
and good time to you david

greetings

say if i wanted to start a clan, and i have already built a system for my clan and if i created a faction, how would i be able to join the faction and use this mod to sort out costumes, starting system etc for new members.

all of that is controlled in newcharacter.ini, you can change the outcome of selecting a given pilot there and add new pilots, however to change the labels you see in FLMM or select your new pilots you have to edit or append options in the xml script, i hope that helps

Forget my concerns about security...
(i thought you could actually put in whatever nicknames for the bases on the clientside, but the data gets collected from the server's pilot entry anyways, really nice find I have to say again )

One thing: The client-reputation selection does not work for me...
Whatever you put in for rep_group = on the client side, it does not change the %%FACTION%% value in mpnewcharacter.fl as this value is also loaded from the newcharacter.ini...

well,the way rep-select works is that there already is a faction choosing method in the [Faction section of newcharacter.ini where pilot is also selected,however there is no way to lock a faction except how ever the storyline factions are locked - so this method is vulnerable to abuse,because you can put any group you want there(oh and if its bad,flserver ignores it,i think) so - this is important, when initial_rep = %%COMM_COSTUME%% in the server's mpnewchar.fl it's only checking the serverside - and that's the only method for locking the factions to which pilots are available.

so,the server has to enable this option because the default is the secure method

Does anyone have/know of a mod that uses this? i'd really like to try it out

its not easy to integrate it -to- a mod, it is however an MP safe addon - using it will not crash servers that do not have it but will prevent you from creating a new character on them

servers using the CVFC mod may advertise it in their listing, or may not - best thing is to just ask around in the servers and here of course. there are also several roleplay servers using FLHook to do the same things. hope that helps a little
