Speciality Modding::Weird FLServer Error
Also had (have?) this error
- and it was possibly caused by 2 reasons.

#1
banners by the playerctrl plugin
- seen @ my test server running NOT under an admin account btw
- pretty sure, also @ the main server (this one running under winxp admin account

#2 (possibly!)
various flhookadmin players with msg rights,
but not having an 'admin' file in the account directory

When I d read Adoxa's post above,
I d added 'admin' files to those accounts
- but I didn't have time to check, if it's gone now.

Speciality Modding::MP Scripting Problems
At the Disco this hack is applied:

Code:

content.dll 04EE3A A22A->A26A = OpenSP tweak for 1.1 DLLs to always start from m13

So change your mission to Mission = Mission_13
and move your scripts into m13.ini

Speciality Modding::Changing the weapon class strings
Oh wow, thanks! Could have SWORE I'd checked through all the DLLs for these strings!

EDIT: Right, got a new question: How do I remove the (Class whatever) from weapon strings, so for example, Justice Mk 1 (Class 1) would just read Justice Mk 1?

Double edit: I've found where the game stores the (Class ) strings in resource, now I just can't get rid of the number at the end.

Triple Edit: Found a fix for that, in the Limit Breaking thingie.

Speciality Modding::Plugin(or hack?) request - explosions to non-missile weapons
Ofcourse I thought about it, but this way it won't "track" targets(target cross is in the same place while the target moves, not ahead of it like with guns), and it won't be able to fire fast withot lag(some ammo is left near you and doesn't fly away).

try searching the TLR archives. around somewhere i recall there is a brief tutorial on how to drop all cargo on death. pretty annoying if you have a larger fleet battle and people keep respawning, though we rarely do have them nowadays.

Is there a way to have only battle music or a fusion of the danger and battle musics portions. Just like in Darkstar one, an intro (optional) and random battle music, no danger music, it brake the action. You see what I want to say?

Hm, okay. BTW, have you tried looking at a packet dump? That might provide some data; in particular, look at packets having a size greater than 10238 ( = 0x2800, or 10190 = 0x27d0, less two) as they should be the ones going wrong (there's a 10Ki buffer on the stack).

There is a need to define thing you carry that will fix reputation on each dock/undock. Setting one to be 0.91 should automatically assign Faction affiliation.

I know how to do it by changing reputation. What I'm looking for is a way to change the primary affiliation directly, without touching the reputation.

Your IFF doesnt change everytime a reputation goes to .9 so something is making a decision to set IFF and then affecting the change, while choosing not to do so at other times. I assume there is a discrete call in the game for this, that's what I'm looking for.

Weapons and such have explosion resistance entries in weap_equip don't they? Perhaps that's why they don't go boom from normal explosions.

That's not the case, it seems like fuse damage does not percepted by the hull as other types of damage(explosion and hits). didn't try collision.

Speciality Modding::Trouble with open(close)_sound
The door open sound while undocking from a base would be in the thn file (since you are still in animation). You would have to add it and provide the trigger.
There would be a secondary problem of 'ducking' involving the normal launch voice, but both could still be audible.
