Aye you are right Dab. I know a server that had to do a wipe due to player file corruption caused by repeated crashes using the beam command. If a server crashes more than 2 times a day, and this goes on for an extended period of time, expect people to start missing characters eventually:(.
the beam command? yeesh that smacks too much of cheating. Flshell has a couple basic ones, like the commands i listed.
The most usefull one is the st which shows players tags and ships.

Well, I've used the beam command, but only on my accounts and nothing more. I've used it once or twice on other players to get them in a system to add them to a group and kicked them right back where they were, but that was it.
And the characters in question are still fine.

Just realized there is at least one player command that works,
/i [name of char]
to invite someone to a group from anywhere.

That one works in a very weird way, sometimes does and sometimes not, and btw, it's just abbreviation of the /invite and it's not FLHook or FLShell command, it's was working without those on.
Anyway, it seems it won't work if the char you're inviting had a name change for some reason. Also, the /s (/system) and /g (/group) chat commands work weird (sometimes do and sometimes don't)
If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God? - from 'Nightfall' by I. Asimov The Outcasts consider Siniestre Nube a sacred place for several reasons. Early explorers discovered a jumphole within the depths of the cloud that leads to a strange world of ringed stars and strange craft. All ships in the burrial ground are placed facing that hole to honor the Alien Spirits. - An Outcast rumor
Yeah, i tried it on super, and it didn't work. Which was quite annoying. I think giving players the FLhook command to transfer money between characters is a good idea, as it would make it so much easier for people making new characters. IMHO we should try it, if it causes crashing then just take it off.

' Wrote:I've tried the /i between ships whose names were never changed, and it fails to work too...
Strange... in my experience the /i failed only when I tried to invite a player that can use the Universe chat. Maybe there is some kind of conflict between unverse chat and /i. But that player had been able to invite me.
