Changing what a player starts with on a server

Thu Oct 28, 2004 5:29 am by cornered_wolf

I have been asked to run and maintain a server by a friend.
I have been on a few multiplayer servers and noticed that the starting ship can be changed, I know how to change the money, and i almost managed to change the ship, it creates the game save witht he correct ship, crashes the server, but the save works when the server is restarted. Ive pretty much given up, so I've decided to post here.

How do I change the ship a player starts with to an Anubis?
I've spent an entire day trying, please help me.

This has been asked hundreds of times. Please use the search feature to find the several other threads where this is asked......the file is loadouts.ini and you wanna change the entry that starts out
[Loadout
nickname = MP_ge_fighter

To whatever the anubis is along with all the other relavent anubis info however keep the MP in front of it's name.....so it would look something like this...
[loadout
nickname = MP_or_elite2
blah
blah, blah
blah
blah
blah

Am I correct in assuming you wish new players on an online server to start out differently or is this just for singleplayer? For an online server I can recommend my Freelancer Starting Mod Pack. It contains a mod that starts you out in an anubis ship or Juni defender if you're so inclined, and it covers most house factions and criminals too.

If you'd like an indepth tutorial on changing the multiplayer starting ship/base/faction, then try this link and see if it helps. Any questions on it, just ask me about it.
