I tried the money transfer command - its working fine - i couldnt find another player to transfer money with but i transfered 3mil between my chars and it worked fine - about 1mil fines were taken and it kicks you out of the server with no message - seems its only when you do it between your own chars

Correction

Seems like trabsfer money between your own chars is working for small amount of money - i tried to transfer 40mil and the result was i lost 40mil on my trader char (that was giving the money to my other char) and the other char that should get those money lost 15mil

What's the point on this? Transfering small amounts of money? A teaser perhaps?!

If you can transfer weapons from one character to another that would be really cool. We could each have a storage charactere parked in NY to which we could transfer all of our looted Class 10 guns and mix and match them according to our whim; or what adversary we're up against that day.

Can this be done?

i doubt so but i guess its worth a try

That sounds awesome, but if we can't transfer credits, then how will it work for equipment? Saying for a moment, hypothetically of couse, it could work...then we could all have our own stores. Very, very good thing.

From what gunny, canoso and i tested seems that maybe there is some kind of limitation of the money you can transfer at once - looks ok when you transfer 30mil but it dont work right with 40mil. So its seems its not a good idea to transfer over a 30mil at once but you can do it as much as you want. About transfering equipment in same way i think this goes a bit a sci-fi - transfering money that way can have explanation - you can manage your money all over the world through internet and banks profit from this. How you gonna explain the equipment transfer - long live the DHL?! lol I prefer the old armories

Well, i must say i got an idea. What about making some kind of 3d model with slots, putting it somewhere (manhatten, crossfire or arena maybe), and them when you want to xfer cargo from one char to another, just bring both of them to one of these slots. With the char that has the cargo, you'll just jettinson the weaps, quicly reconnect with the other char and tractor it.

Rules could be created for this, like anouncing on the system what cargo you're dumping before dump it... i don't know, i'm not expert in creating rules

Its a bit weird that there is FLHook that have pretty much same function even nearly same commands as FLshell and its free to use.

it seems to have less functions

OP, I think the new shell is causing conflict with Compaq and HP onboard sound cards. I already posted a new thread in the Server News forum, but, since I think it's related to the new Shell, I thought I'd drop a note here as well.
Can someone on the server side check and see if you can debug the conflict with onboard sound cards please?

Thanks.

dont think so.

Well, having had a bit of time to get accustomed to the new shell and its bounty system, there appear to be some useful fuctions, but I have not seen any instructions on how to use them. This is the thread where I would expect to see such information as what commands are used to do a long-range scan, transfer credits, etc. Apparently, the bounty also has been re-activated in Coloseum, without notice, though it is somewhat of a consolation prize for the losing team members there...

Perhaps someone could enlighten me (and others) about the use of the shell...??

Commands:
/help (displays commands, though not all of them.)

/cargo {player_name} (shows {player_name}'s cargo (only works with freighters).)

/givecash {amount} {player_name} (moves {amount} of cash to {player_name}, think there's a tax on this, you can give money to offline chars if they're on your account)

/list (shows all player's slot numbers, e.g., if #1. = Shados then, Shados = Freelancer Alpha 1 dash 1, I think a player's slot number can also replace their name in some FLShell commands.)

/frags (Shows all player's total PvP Kills/Deaths)

I think there's others but i can't remember, go look.

Where do i look to find complete list of fl shell commands?

thanks for any help.

Thanks, Shados! Too bad we have to go outside CF to find instructions for such an integral tool...

Well, seeing as none of my friends were on to help with a money xfer I took the chance to test the /givecash command, it seems there's a 30% tax on it, and I wouldn't go over 30 mill either, as pcforce said. Perhaps you could lower or even entirely remove the tax on this OP? It was rather annoying to lose %30 of the 77mil that I transfered (In groups of ~25mil, so as not to go over 30 mil), and moving in amounts of below 30 mill is annoying too but I can live with that.

here is a list of comands:
