i wonder if there is a mode for ASSS that limits ships like can use only ships 1 and 2 or like by points if you earn more points u unlock new ships :s

[Dr Brain]

No. One can always create a module for that.

I can give it a go sometime. Leave more details on how you want the module done and what it does.

[Samapico]

Just make a configurable min/max points range for each ship I guess

I'm going to wait to be sure.

[tcsoccerman]

you didn't really make much sense except the fact that you mentioned samapico's idea would work.

I will be editing smong's shiplimit module by adding point limits per ship.

[tcsoccerman]

If someone could help me on a problem i ran into that would be great.

I'm still learning pointers, as i usually use c# which has manged pointers. I'm getting an error at this area:

Code: Show/Hide else if(ad->ship[ship].pointlimit > 0)    {         int points;         pd->Lock();         points = d->flagpoints + d->killpoints;//error is here         pd->Unlock();         if(points < ad->ship[ship].pointlimit)             return 0;     }

(line 207)

that says:

Code: Show/Hide dereferencing pointer to incomplete type

other than that i'm getting no other errors. i'll attach the file.

nvm stupid mistake. watch for my post in asss modules forum.

[hellzlaker]

thanks, also to install it you put the dll into the bin, shiplimits.conf into \conf, add fm_shiplimits on \conf\modules.com and add on arena.conf

AttachModules = fm_shiplimits \


am i right? beacuse i did that and it didnt work

[tcsoccerman]

1.add fm_shiplimits.dll to bin
2.add fm_shiplimits.conf to the arena that you want. to add it to public, for example, add it to arenas/(default)
3. Here is where it is trickier. this is not an "addon" module. this module replaces the fm_normal module.
4.So in modules.conf in conf/ folder, look for "fm_normal" and change that line to "fm_shiplimits:fm_shiplimits".
5. then in "AttachModules" remove fm_normal and add just "fm_shiplimits".
6. Make sure you use the module in the asss project forum. NOT this topic.

smong made a help file when he made this module so i will attach that too in case you need it.

[Smong]

Small correction to step #4, fm_normal and fm_shiplimits can coexist in modules.conf, just not in the AttachModules setting.

what if you want to exclude a ship for 2 freqs? how do you do that?

[Smong]

You can't it's either 1 freq or all freqs.

Since there are 10k freqs it's harder to do excludes for N-freqs, no one wants to write that many settings. If you can explain your game type I may be able to add it into the module as a setting, but you could be better off with a completely custom module.

[hellzlaker]

its ok i figured something else out with that module that works just as good thanks

[hellzlaker]

ok another problem for some reason it doesnt read my settings correctly


Ship1 = only,1,0,0
Ship2 = only,1,0,0
Ship3 = only,1,0,0
Ship4 = only,0,0,0
Ship5 = only,0,0,0
Ship6 = only,0,0,0
Ship7 = only,2,0,0
Ship8 = only,2,0,0


i wanted to make it that freq 0 can use only warbird jav and spider and freq 1 can use lev terr and weasel

and i dont have a freq 2 so i wanted no one to use ship 7 and 8 so i put them on freq 2

problem is that when i log into my zone, on freq 0 it lets me use only 4 5 6 and on freq 1 it doesnt let me use anything

[tcsoccerman]

i updated the module for a correction smong told me of.

[Smong]

Looks like you have freq 0/1 mixed up, try these:
Ship1 = only,0,0,0
Ship2 = only,0,0,0
Ship3 = only,0,0,0
Ship4 = only,1,0,0
Ship5 = only,1,0,0
Ship6 = only,1,0,0
Ship7 = only,2,0,0
Ship8 = only,2,0,0
