Thank you so much. no i have run into another problem

Hey,

I have been working on a SP mod for a while now. I am trying to create an explosion with a blast radius of 500k (impulse looks to work, just no real damage on the solars). looks like 10k s the cap.ideally I want everything with in 500k to be destroyed. Also I found the hack for MP fuse solar distance, I was wondering if there was a way to do it in SP?

Thanks

Jer

what about a jumpbouy thats been deleted? I know in the systems I was working on that had that error, there was a lot of stuff added then deleted. what if it FL has some code some where for something that was there but is now gone.?

its a shot in the dark. Im going to see if I can recreate the error. At least if I can recreate it it might help figure out the cause.


Later

Hey Sushi,

I was getting this on the 19.xx I was working on. NOt sure what was causing it. I think you right though, it defiantly pop up on jumps, and I only saw it on new systems , not pre-existing ones.

hope this help little , it not really the answer. maybe it will help you figure it out.

Nice work on TOW BTW

Jer

Hey,

I need to find away to control the about of ammo dropped by the NPCs. My server admin are worries about NPC farming. I know I can make ammo disappear with the loot_unseen line. can I control how much of it drops some how?

what about changing the nano bot to heal energy?

what i am thinking is having a astiroid drop them. We are deal with econmy issues. I though is if Nanos worked like gas, and we can make rock drop them. we would have fuel, minable reasourse.

Can the Nano be made to A) heal energy instead of hull? and B) can I make them loot?

what weapon effect are you using? you may need to hex edit the weapon_large in the freelancer.exe. it's a shot in the dark.

its sound like an FX problem. also you can look in the effect_types.ini increase the lod to 0, 10000. find the effect that the weapon is using in the weapon_equip. in the effects.ini it will have a type. eg

weapon_equip
Code:

[Munition]
nickname = turbolaser_ammo03
hp_type = hp_gun
requires_ammo = false
hit_pts = 2
hull_damage = 2000
energy_damage = 0
one_shot_sound = fire_capship_forward_gun
munition_hit_effect = li_plasma_03_impact
const_effect = Purple_turbolaser_proj---this one
lifetime = 14.000000
force_gun_ori = false
mass = 1
volume = 0.000100



Code:

[Effect]
nickname = Purple_turbolaser_proj
effect_type = EFT_WEAPON_LARGE_PROJ ----- find this
vis_beam = turbolaser_beam_Purple


in the effects_type you will find
Code:

[EffectType]
nickname = EFT_WEAPON_LARGE_PROJ
priority = 1
generic_priority = 1
lod_type = EFT_LOD_LARGE
radius = 100
visibility = EXIST_OFFSCREEN
update = CULL_UPDATE 
run_time = -1
pbubble = 1250, 1500 ---- try changing this to 0, 10000


that with the exe hex edit worked for me.

good luck. hope it helps

Hey does any of the FL guru's out there know how to make a weapon that can knock out that cloaking device?

only thing I could think of was haveing low hitpoint on the device. if it gets hit with AOE damage it would be destroyed.

any other creative solutions?

thanks

Jer
