I don't know I am adsking you. Could we cloak a planet in the new version make it a level 7 and a ship would have to buy a specail item to see the cloaked planet. Then also density scan would show it to. The idea could use a little work but it would be awsome wouldn't it???

Wrong forum and I for one think the idea sucks! [:(!]

actually you can "cloak" a planet .. write a script so that if one of your "enemies" hits a ftr within say 2 to 3 hops of your current position.. the script automatically warps your planet to another "safe" area

.. in this way your enemies never get to "see" your planet .. just tell them its cloaked! imagine the posts in the forum then about bugs!!
lol

Shhh...not so load Shaggie! Others might read this and do it! Hehehehe! It is still off topic for SMACK and should be in School Forum for your brilliant suggestion or in original question should be in forum for suggesting changes in TWGS for future releases. Great to see you around and active again![8D]

yup, it is truly amazing what you can do with scripts (triggers) and your knowledge of the game and some imagination.

Well, I know about that scrpit but what about putting it in the accual game as a thing you can have. I think that would be awsome

Stargod your a idiot... Thinking just real terms cloaking a planet would be like cloaking a Sector.. When a player is cloaked they can't do anything a planet has a IG and cannons.. come on now get real.. if you have suck a hard time with people finding your planets try putting them where it's harder to find. Don't condenn player's that are good hunter's from having a chance of hunting.. Not only to mention the Density difference between a player and a planet.. Not to be mean Stargod But think before you open your mouth next time..

To answer your question, the cloak function doesn't work for planets anymore, if it ever did. I tried using the flag in TEDIT and it's disabled. Maybe somebody else knows a way, but I couldn't find any.

Ok..#1 Why in the hell would someone want to cloak a planet? #2 There's been no place in the edits that would give you the idea that you could do it. #3 I've played TW for a number of years... The day a planet is able to be cloaked is the day people thinking of cloaking a planet, will fuse it![;)]

It's in the Planet Editor (N) under Planet Flags (Z). But it's grayed out, and I haven't figured out any way to activate it. It's probably something leftover from a much earlier version of TW, and it was probably easier to disable it than to take it out of the code.

Ok what version of TWGS are you seeing this in? The verision i have shows nothing like that...[?]

The current version. As midnight said, go to the planet editor (N), enter a planet to edit, then edit planet flags (Z). It's state option numer 1. I think it's just a matter of the same states being used for players/planets/ships and the ones unusable being greyed out.

Cloaking a planet has never been possible in the game through normal means. The cloak flag is nonusuable and there doesn't -appear- to be any field for it in the actual data file.

Ok this topic has gone really wierd, But I was just suggesting it for a more intresting game I didn't mean to be called names or andting. and for poeple to argue I just thought it would be cool so sorry if I caused harm to what tradwars is about. but I have to say the way poeple are treating newbies there won't be any players for the game I find it sad there are more server then there are players but I mean I have been trying to get poeple into the game that way this game has a forture but hey if you want this game to go to hell your welcome to it. I will play forever longer
