Rename prob

Post by AnGel »

are admins still renaming chars ?

I promoted a member from my clan from cmdr to General and i wonder if it is still possible to rename the old char instead to create another one .

Nope.  It's not possibile anymore.  A lot of people had asked this before, and i am sure there is a topic about it.

He will have  to make a new character like everyone else does.

Good luck,

HH.

Let's not rush to conclusions.
Indeed ,i have also heard that editing your in-game char by an Admin is sadly not possible ,but perhaps things will change with the arrival of the new mod or maybe the Staff found new "tools"/ways to make the editing of ingame chars possible.
Perhaps an Admin would be so kind to enlighten us? :D

I have been on another server where in their mod they sell a 'Name Change Certificate' ingame in all major bases like NY or NB etc for 2 million credits,then you post the name change request into the forum of the servers mod forum...then hey presto the admins change your name for you.
Not sure if this is only in their mod as an added mod option, or if all freelancer servers can change names.Has any1 tried browsing the server options from your own server if you host 1 just to try it,i tried hosting but i couldnt join my own server on the same comp... :-??
Then again the admins dont have time to keep changing names for people everytime they feel like changing clans etc.I am sure they are busy enough keeping the server running & doing more important things.

I don't know if the problem is that they don't want to or can't. As some of you know I run a stock server (down atm...) and I used to do name changes all the time with IFSO but Void doesn't use IFSO and I don't think there are any other tools that can do the job. With IFSO you can't have all the wacky characters in names that so many o you love so much lol...

Besides, they got enough on their plate. But I'd help out in this regard if it was possible and they'd let me....

We CAN do renames, however the process involved is quite taxing and complicated as such we tend not to do it for trivial reasons and when someone joins a new clan we expect the clan to help them set up and replace lost funds/goods.

A simple change in rank is relatively trivial but if you catch me online at anytime I can help out with this.

Hamburg use flhook...we do not as it directly conflicts with other software we do use which has features more valuable to us in the day to day running of the server.

Frobozz ..  TY for the offer in that last post.
We are not using IFSO as you know.
We have also used flhook in the past.
FLAC ( lastest version ) is the SO/AC we have used for the last couple years.
The in game admin commands are static.
Other special needs are done via remote console access.
Renames are actual player file clones.
They are (as Kahless mentioned ) a pain because in addition to our part,
they require a co-ordinated effort on the part of the player which often gets
convoluted.

My asteemed colleague has always gone out of his way to help but
as he has stated already, players in clans should be using their own resouces to
re-name and re-equip themselves.

lol why even bother with the Changing names...? why not just have no ranks in your clan isn't that simple... have them in forums and such but no need in-game... look at [TRIAD]-[X]
we do not have ranks, at all, not in forums or anything but the clan and others know who to talk to and who not to talk too with problems... it's very simple lol
