FLHook

[Igiss]

I've installed FLHook on server. It's a serverside tool that provides certain anti-cheating protection, and adds some advanced features to Freelancer server.

Among features of FLHook that are currently enabled on our server are:

1) Dock killing protection: when player undocks, he/she will be invulnerable for 4 seconds and won't be able to harm others.

2) F1/Disconnect protection - works only if you are in space! Now using F1 or disconnecting won't allow to log in back for 10 seconds. During this time, your ship will be hanging in space and might even be killed.

Time may be increased if it won't be enough.

3) Additional messages. Server will display the reason of death (killed by player with player name, killed by NPCs, committed suicide). If player dies in same system where you are, death message will be highlighted in different color.

4) New York is a real free-from-PvP zone now. Player weapons cannot harm other players, including missiles and probably mines. NPCs can still kill players, and vice versa - player can kill NPCs in this system.

Admins may prohibit PvP in other systems too (temporarily), if they see fit.

And some more features that I'll comment on later.

If FLHook won't add any lags to our current server setup, we will most likely leave it enabled when 4.82 Final will be released.

Does FL Hook require a clientside download of any kind?

I am a long-absent Supreme Commander, Executive Commander, Grand Admiral, Fleet Admiral, and Captain in the mighty Hellfire Legion. I have returned, and am on an urgent mission from Drake Thastus to return the Legion to its former glory, and to claim the galaxy for its own. Only then will I be able to rest.

Igiss said that it is serverside, so I would assume that there is no download, but I'm no genius, so I don't know.

Plus, thanks Igiss. This seems like a good tool to have :)

No clientside downloads required.

Again, we could remove it if it's proved that FLHook causes increase of server lag. But for now it seems fine.

Are there any player commands for FLHook, or is it an Admin tool only?

I am curious as well, some of the other servers allow players light access.
Commands to transfer their money to another player that's on, show a frag list etc.
