I am running a small server with the 1.1 Patch, and I'm wondering if there is any way I can use cloak on it. I'm working to organise some specialty PvP fights, and it would help if I could get people to cloak.

Thanks

EDIT: Of course, I don't want to install a server-sided mod, since it is only for the occasion

FlameSeeker:

Not sure why you's want to do this but...you could try replacing the animation files for trent with ones for a woman, the ones I found were:

DATA\CHARACTERS\ANIMATIONS\facialtrent.anm
DATA\CHARACTERS\BODIES\pl_trent_body.dfm
DATA\CHARACTERS\PROPS\manny_chair_trent.3db ; For when hes sitting down?
DATA\CHARACTERS\PROPS\manny_stand_trent.3db

I havent tried this but let me know if it works!

Changing this things made the game crashed. Although i managed to do something. If u change the values for Trent in costumes.ini like this

[Costume
nickname = trent
head = pl_female4_head
body = li_hatcher_body
righthand = benchmark_female_hand_right
lefthand = benchmark_female_hand_left

he begins to look like a woman but the hands and the head looked not in place.

Demouser: I have no wish to join the play, but rather to see it enacted. My only concern is to avoid having the lands of Microsoftia bare down on myself.

Spammers: have C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\DATA\AUDIO\MUSIC\music_failure.wav playing back in ther head when they visit TLR

Mods have C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\DATA\AUDIO\MUSIC\music_victory.wav playing in their heads every time they remove Spammers

Oay - sorry, was away at my parents house for xmas. They have a crap computer with a worse connection!! Also - its so crap that the computer didn't have the capacity to put FL on it either. SHoulda thought ahead and used the SDK, but then again, it costs per min to be on internet. Anyways - am back..



Nicknames - you will pick them up as you go along!!!!

however, the drom is a border world freighter. There is a post somewhere with all the nicknames to real names etc, however, might i sugest subxeros database.

Anyways - intro is here......

co_fighter = legionarre
co_elite = Centurion
co_elite2 = Titan

Can you see the progression??

Try this

bw_fighter = dagger
bw_elite = stilleto
bw_elite2 = guess...................yup - sabre

Okay - so it progresses due to the 'house' that the ship is....

Here is liberty

li_fighter = patriot
li_elite = Defender
li_elite2 = defender (storyline near end, has extra tail size!! - looks like anubis)
li_freighter = Rhino

So - there is a freighter. Now ALL houses have thier fighter and elite fighter (heavy fighter) and a freighter.
So br_fighter = cavalier
br_elite = crusader
br_freighter = clydesdale.

Got it? Change to ku for kusari, being drake, dragon, drone in that order. For Rheinland is a rh and its a banshee, Valk and Humpback in that order!

For Bloodhound, Wolfhound and mule it is:

pi_fighter
pi_elite
pi_freighter

So - what is the drom again? Its a borderworld freighter!
So it will be
bw_freighter

There we go.

Over time you will pick up the names and nicknames - so i can remember them off by heart, and most guns and stuff too....lol - takes time, but it comes quick. Till then though - get FLED ids - cause if you are unsure, look in the files at what you THINK is the ship, then tap in the ids name and find out!!
By the way - all the civilian craft are:

ge_fighter = Crap starting ship -forgotten name!!!!
ge_fighter2 = Startracker
ge_fighter4 = Hawk
ge_fighter5 = Falcon
ge_fighter6 = Eagle

Have fun.
