I don't think you quite understand what it is about cloaking in Multiplayer Freelancer.

I have 5 working cloaking mods but I can't post them in the download section because they get abused and make players mad enough to stay off the server.

A long time ago I made the mistake of posting a cloaking mod and because of this some really good servers shut down.

So please understand why it's not a good thing to allow cloaking...

Thank you, from bakedpotato

Can you mail me one of these mods

Btw then it would be interesting if you can make a cloaking mod work only in SP.
And take a look on Openlancer. They are going to implement cloaking
device. They are saying that they will make it fair by making it consume energy and disabling all weapons while being cloaked

Drake, if you ever bothered to read the sticked posts concerning cloaks, you would have seen Chips explanation, that the AI would "See" you cloaked and it won't work in SP. I would seriously doubt BP would give you a cloak mod. Reguardless of best intentions, it would get used on servers and mess things up again.

Cloaks are useless............................ they wouldn't work on any good server...

Really?How is then posible that cloak works on Hamburg City Server.They've added cloaking device to rheinland ships and you type /cloak and it works fine!

Post Tue Mar 20, 2007 9:46 am

because they "hooked" the game (how they would say) -> basically nothing than a additional hardcoded part that is added to the game
nothing special (and basically a concept that i presented here a few weeks before hamburg city introduced it)
but LR has the policy not to publish cloak mods or discussions about it and therefore this thread is closed now

(and the link will be removed - sry)
