Leaving information out? - Vas - 12-13-2010

I try repeatedly to make a cool admin ship on my server yet so much information is missing that I can't do it. It's not even possible. For example: http://discoveryfl.com/wiki/index.php?title=Venator
This ship does not appear to exist in the mod. Unless I skipped over it scrolling through a long list of ships. Where do you buy it? How do you get it? If there is some special way to get it then it should be told for those server operators that are trying to get/give it. Other missing information is Engines and Power Generators.

http://discoveryfl.com/wiki/index.php?title=Firefly
Engine: Bretonia Gunboat Eng (dsy_bgtr_engine)
Power Generator: Train Power (Discovery)

That's just one example of information that's missing, other than the fact that these special capital ships 'can't be got in YOUR server' where as it says 'ask admin permission for your own servers' yet admin would have no clue as to how to give/get it. I keep trying to make a cool ship but get booted out of my own server for cheating so I have to move on to a capital ship like that but I can't figure out how to get it and I am using IONCROSS to edit characters. Yes I have the Discovery data files in ioncross's directory too so don't blaim that.

It's sold on the admin base battlestar, not for public sale therefore not in the wiki.
If you want all stats try using a program like flstat.
Turn off the anticheat script.

If I turn off anticheat then people can cheat... >.> I just found out FLHook isn't working as commands in game don't even register. Even if something is not sold for non-admin players, it should contain the information for everyone else who is on other servers because as far as I know this is the only Discovery wiki for information about Discovery it's self not just one single server. Also downloading other programs just to see ship stats is more annoying when you could just include the information in the wiki.

the venator was restricted because its just too big to dock lanes etc. also it used to be an OP ship.

I can tell now that I tried it...:P But it is a good ship with the right equipment to make it more usable. If I knew mod making well enough I could fix it up for use by admins. I'm still suggesting that this extra information like Power Supply and Engine be listed for those using editing tools on their servers to set up ships correctly. And the location of these special ships revealed so that people can easily get them without wondering which admin base they are actually at.

whats the point if you cant dock an admin base? in SP, you can try it, but this is a multiplayer game and the ship is a tad OP.


and too big to fly, frankly.

Unless your a hacker. Then you can grab one and kill people in Penn.

(I hope people get the joke...)

If you feel the Wiki requires more information, register an account on it and edit those pages. The disco wiki can be modified by anyone who registers on it with an email address.

And I don't have access to all the information of the game in which the creator does. I can't magically obtain every single ship's engine and power generator to add to all pages. I would have to go buy every single ship in the entire game just to find that out.

I meant make the ship more usable for the admins. Not to mention it would be neat seeing in ship and used just for fun. Besides, when I tried it, it still has some pretty major weaknesses.

1. It's already a buffed out ship.

2. Admin ships are practically indestructible, whether the admin be in this thing or a starflie.

3. Admins can already do whatever they want.

4. Weaknesses or no weaknesses, if an admin is in it, you're dead.
