wht do u mean by that?

[C0RrUpT3D]

that tha missile ammo would be almost free to buy

[Goklayeh]

heh got it now ;D

btw can u add torps also cos i would like to practice with them too i believe its more fun to use them if u now how to handle it

[MuppetMauler]

Thanks Raven, your setup parameters will be used to create the base system
And np Gok Torps added to list - SunSlayers do you ok?

Also how about -

• leave missile prices at standard cost - it makes sense as it learns noobs the real cost on other servers
  
• 5 million start credits - That should cover the cost of tooling up at start.
  
• resource field nearby to make up creds quickly
  
• Highly paid missions from base - all within a stone's throw! (lvl10-12 - 1mill creds)
  

System Name - Gabriel
Sun - Raven's Green Giant (Don't go too close - it still smells eggy )
Homebase Name - Azza
Dockable Planet - Salikotal
twin planets (no dock) - Sariel and Seriel
Jumpholes/gates - -->NL -->NY

All system names derived from actual Fallen Angel names (see the full list below)

I'll get working on the mod, after I sort out some minor software issues preventing MP login on the server. However, we need volunteers to test the mod as it develops, so please step forward if you are interested. We'll agree on dates/times for testing from there.

Once again, thanks.

Nice names. can be good insipration for clan members.
as for torps goes.. starkillers and sunnies. Both versions plz. ^^

One note on making credits.
Well cos it wont be 24/7 server, also with limited connection...i think it would be bit useless there. Because when those few peeps jump in, their goal will be practice anyway.


ofcourse i dont have problem with testing it. i would also edit it but..my FL explrorre keep crashing everytime i wanna edit something.

Yeah.... Noted
I'll up the credits to 15mill. As admin I can hand out more if needed.

[Goklayeh]

so when we gonna test it

[MuppetMauler]

As soon as I can get other players connecting to it lol. It seems the biggest problem right now is not the making of the mod, but creating a stable connection.

I will and have been testing it frequently but I need a little time to sort this current issue. Bear with me as I'm a n00b at modding

[Raven]

actualy conecting to ur server is only my problem here
hehe np. i guess it will take a while untill everything will work smoothly. ^^

[MuppetMauler]

The connection issue is over I think
Give me a shout on msn so we can test the link.

[MuppetMauler]

Thanks for the assistance last night Raven. Finally after a few networking issues, and me being silly , we managed to sort the MP problem.

Raven was connecting with a 107ms average ping and I could ping him only a fraction faster at 103ms. Not bad from Prague to Scotland

Now we can concentrate on the most important issue - piecing the mod together. Once the mod is at a standard acceptable to Raven, we will release the 1st working mod and switch on the server for a full 24 hours.

Yayz - it works.

Watch this space for more updates as they happen.

[Darth_Maul]

it sounds great dude,keep one the great work

[Raven]

Base...
I would change it. So it will look like base in Tohoku system. It consist of two parts. Space Arch(which is base itself) and space arch asteroid on which is space arch "mounted". I think both gotta be putted on same EXACT place but only space arch equip etc should be edited, so it will look like (undestroyed) Tekagi base from singleplayer or on some other servers where is Tekagi dockable base.

Also some nice big asteroids around would be cool.(like in tohoku again)

[Darth_Maul]

[Goklayeh]

when will be the next test i wanna try too

[MuppetMauler]

Ok - noted Rave...... Soz been so busy I never had time to check here.

However.... There is a new release of the beta mod (1.2.2) for all who want to try it. Shout on msn for it

I'll add the asteroids n stuff just now, but need time to work on the base. U make it sound easier than it looks Rave

cya online ;D


Added 5th April
************** SERVER READY **************
************** MOD READY ***************

FangServerMod1_2_2 ready for distribution. Server will be switched on and will become self-aware at 19:00 hours on Friday 6th April. It will remain online for at least 24 hours (probably switch it down late Saturday night or Sunday morning.)

A copy of the mod has been sent out via msn shared folders (you'll need the latest msn for this) to Draco, Raven, Darth, Kiola, Gerbon, Sekky, Gok and SKOM (only msn's I have)

From there we can load test it - something that's not been possible so far. We've never had any more than 2 players on at any given time during the testing phase.

Rave.... I'm still working on your base request. It is possible (obviously,) but I just need to figure out in my own head how its done. In the meantime, does this base exist on the standard universe? If so where? I can probably do it the programmer's way by stealing the script lol.

Peace out !!!

[Raven]

Good,
ive tested it 1/2 hour ago. And its really awesome.
Again, good job m8.

Yes base really exist. Its in Tohoku system. Well only space arch asteroid part. Space arch (entrance) is missing after SP was finished. But i saw such a bases on other servers functional. For e.g. the "Rock" base in Colours Elite UK server and some others...where Tohoku was unlocked as system.

[MuppetMauler]

No problem m8. After our little brainstorm last night, I think we have the extended base challenge licked. I'm going to have a go at it over the weekend in a separate mod and reckon it'll be 'plugged in' to our server on Monday.

I'm gonna study up on how these location co-ords work because there are a few tiny things I need to fix/line up in the system. ALso need to know for making the new base. I'm thinking of placing in a couple more bases on the map and maybe even a jump to tohoku for the hell of it.

The server is up for most of the weekend and hope to see you guys in there. Myself, Darth and Gok were on earlier together and it was holding up pretty good. Now if we can just squeeze in a few more players at one time, I'll be very happy.

For all who need to know - the server is available on internet MP.
Server is called "-=|FANG|=-Freelancer Hell" and easily found if you sort by IP address. It will always start 172.x.x.x

Password is beelzebub unless told otherwise.

And Gok, Darth and Raven, thank you all for your kind and positive views on the mod. It makes it all the more enjoyable to do

Of course, it's really nothing more than a system shell atm, but would like to add some missions and things to do when no-one else can be bothered to play lol.

I need ideas guys, submit some if ur imagination allows it and as long as it's not too complex, it might just get added in

happy dayz ;D ;D
