    I have recently was introduced that some of our community members are working on mods for ppl with some kind of handicap, there for I realized that we have totaly missed that aspect of modding.


    In my humble oppinion, its very important aspect to both this game and also to any type of game or program which has addons for ppl with handicap.


    This community will help in such humane work, so any type of mods either if they are freelancer related, or any other type of addons not freelancer related, which would help to ppl with handicap.


    Please free to share your work, to share your ideas, to share your needs in that subject in this section of forum.

    hook requires to setup at least one superadmin
    grant one of your chars superadmin rights in console
    with
    setadmin my_char superadmin
    then try from superadmin account ingame
    admin commands are all that are avaibe in ur hook version
    they are accessed from game with
    .command NOT /command
    so start with
    .help
    good luck

    This is special subsection of accessbility mods.
    feel free to exchange any type of informations which could help ppl which require accessibility options.
    I am sorry that we have totaly forgot this importent aspect of modding.

    use empty.dll, there should be one in download section, dont take out orignal ids, but make new ones and direct new system to new created ids, thats easyest way to walk around problem u had.

    well uninstall/reinstall is allways option
    but before that
    you can try to find if there is previous backup of that file
    search in same place there might be file named same_name.flmmbak
    if there is
    rename to same_name.ini
    and try to activate mod again it should b fine


    usualy those things happen when you enable more then 1 mod at time


    generaly uninstall everything delete game folder, delete savegames from \my documents\ and do fresh install as last option
    good luck

    it is not related if u have ur hardware in hardware list, it will only b slower and more uglyer if there is no correct hardware to autorecognize
    that manifestations which u have mentioned seems like some kind of bug
    try to updated to most reasend directX that might solve problem.
    good luck

    basicaly no, but if someone wants to go for global rank, then i assumed its dedicted player, and that
    he wont resort to cheats or lag-wins, thats why i thoath that it is best that
    server admins propose those which will participate, since they will know if players are corrupted...

    1. you need the support of all the servers out there (which atm is not the case)


    i dont understand this statement actually
    ---


    2. you need to consider that the servers out there are much different with very different fighting styles which lead to advantages for vanilla servers and disadvantages for modded servers with different gameplay (not really fair to those fighters which have not played vanilla FL for ages... no matter how good they really are)


    yes im very well aware of that, but it can be 'voted' if there should b some mod or not
    ---


    3. such tournaments have been tried several years ago (with similar structure) but with close to 0 success


    yes im aware of that too, but generaly that is due to ADMINS which are SCARED to participate in such event, now this is heavy statement however if u look abit under things you will realised thats its only fear from 'unbeatable' admins to particpate on server where they cant abuse admin powers which they use on thair own boxes
    ---


    4. there are many national servers out there... the players on those servers have good pings... but now try to tell players of an US server to fight on a server which is located in europe and you will see that the US players have absolutly no chance to win due to the crappy connection between US and Europe (another issue where fairness is not guaranteed)


    this is good point, however it is not unsolvable, generaly it can b organised in 'continent' manner, then if there is need to decide which.... (ie europe vs asia 1vs1 player match) ....
    here is simple solution, with 17000 possible dots on earth its is not hard to find place where 2 connections have same network matrix, and simply asking someone to run server to decide between two players on two different continents.
    basicaly anyone can host for serving fiew pvps, that doesnt require high bandwidth, or expensive box... any connection would do
    ---


    5. a global event does imply that it is really global and not just between a few servers


    well yes, thast why i posted it here to see what would leading server admins, leading clans, players and all community has to suggest about it..
    ---


    6. how do you want to control that players dont attent the fight for more than one server? (you have absolutly no control over that)
    i do not understand this point too, please give some more explanation.
    ---

    well i dont see why it couldnt b any mod if player admins agree on that, however in my personal oppinion vanila would b like neutral, becouse all have played vanila once when they started ....


    but i dont object if thas to b some specific mod ....

    how about this ....
    each server admin makes any tipe of election
    and sends best 5 fighers on his box
    then we organise tournament
    with best of 5 fightes between them for instance once a week
    then best holds crown for 1 week...
    etc...
    give some feed back here... pls


    we can do some recordings and put matches on youtube or similar to make it more popular...

    for any equipment u need not to b unmountable, repairable, repacable
    just include all u want in ship_package,
    then for clients remove mountpoints from shiparhc
    (only from client version remove mountpoints from shiparch, server has to have it)

    its due to traffic, and load on server not on client,
    its true that animated use mem, but its on client,
    i eaven found 1.5mb avatars, now imagine unecessery load on server, as well as on network for that :D

    i dont know if i have mentioned <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.flguild.biz">http://www.flguild.biz</a><!-- m -->
    its mp oriented mod, BUT its designed in that way that u can play it alone and never get bored...


    ok, for instance ....
    each house have own heavy fighter
    each houst have superhard missions
    trading all around all systems payes better then trading point to point and backwards
    special factions like order, fugitives, nomads, spoge.........
    best equipment is ONLY found on wrecks, wrecks are scattered all around dark corners
    and on top of that its 'forewer growing concept' average 1 time a month updates are released with
    new ships/ systems/ guns ....
    ships from superfast to superheavy which FEELS like that
    special ships which have some features which are not avaible anywhere else ... but that would b spoiler...
    hehe
    for clans, custom reputations, custom ship, cust bases/planes
    pure roleplay rules... etc



    also :D braking barriers of imagination... so 'faster then cruise', large as planet, inside planet maze race tracks ..... and many many more ....
