Should be possible. Hopefully, no unmodded people should be able to get into the modified alaska because their alaska gate would be locked. If they did get in, then it would crash.

L.D.

Ok I'l try it.

OK When the client want to start from th planet the client crashes.

Actually, I'm not sure if this would work. One, because if unmodded people saw you flying the Osiris around, I'm not sure how their game would react. Two - by 'special shield', if you mean a custom one, then it wont work.

But on the crash, I dont have a clue. If I have time (which I doubt, sorry), then I'll try and look for you.

Should be possible. Hopefully, no unmodded people should be able to get into the modified alaska because their alaska gate would be locked. If they did get in, then it would crash.

however, gate access is defined GLOBALLY, by the administrator. So it doesn't matter what the lockage info reads in the client, modded or unmodded, the admin sets their availability. So if one person can go trhough alaska, then so can everyone else.

a good alternative however, is to leave the original gate locked, but make another gate deep enough in Zone21 to not make any unmod people crash, with a different exclusion path.
The different exclusion path will allow people with the mod to fly through safely, and to another person w/out the mod, will simply see them flying through mines, unhurt. They can't fly however, and will be left behind, all the better so they don't crash near the gate.
This allows people with the mod to gain access to Alaska without disturbing anyone else.

But what is about the osiris?
Can i add it also?
