NEW SERVER! Please help us test! Barracuda and 500k to star

Here SysOps can list their MultiPlayer server info and users can send feedback to their SysOps. Or just talk about the MultiPlayer servers they play on. This is not about MultiPlayer in general - please use the MultiPlayer Forum for that!

NEW SERVER! Please help us test! Barracuda and 500k to star

Hi all,

SERVER NAME: Alpha Foxtrot Uniform

We have just got our new Server Up and running and need to test it before we go online 24/7. You start out with a BARRACUDA and $500,000 credits on Planet Manhattan!

For now the Server will only be up from 5:30pm EST (10:30 GMT) until around 10:00pm EST (0300 GMT) Monday - Sunday.

Server rules are: No Cheats, and No client side mods (for now). And try and go gentle on newbies :-P

The Server Operator's game name is {AFU}ServerOP (I know not very original) ...so if you see him online, let him know what you think of the server!

Let them Hate us, As long As they FEAR US

How do I configure my server to give all players credits

Post Fri Mar 12, 2004 1:42 pm

The server name is above

Do a search on the FL Downloads for CHIPS server admin. That allows you to give credits/ships.

Are you going to set the factions differently as well? Make new characters bountyhunters perhaps?

Humm...thats a good idea Tylor.

Maybe I'll ask folks to send me an email as to what faction they want to be allied with (Liberty, Rhineland, Corsairs, Bounty Hunters....). Would make for better role playing.

Let me see If I get you on this. If you wanted to be a Bounty Hunter I could set all corporations as Green, as well as House Police/Navy. Is that what you were thinking?

Edit the mpnewcharacter.fl file in your Freelancer/EXE folder and change the %%money%% line to whatever value you want new players to have.... JoeBoomz Told me how to do this. I tried it and it works perf.

500k is ok but to keep it fun make the players work for the ship they want.
I think kids might like it set up that way but they will lose int.quick if to easy

Post Tue Mar 16, 2004 4:43 am

Point taken.... maybe a diffrent ship?? I just wanted to start folks out with something a bit better than the Starflier.... Maybe a Defender?

Post Fri Mar 19, 2004 5:40 am

Just a note that Alpha Foxtrot Uniform will be OFFLINE. But not permanently!

The server name will change and I will post that change here. I cannot give any other details at this point.....

Also in viewing the player files, it seems no one has spent more than 3 hours on the server, so all player files will be wiped out. Again this is due to some changes that I will post as soon as I can.

Stay posted!

Starting On 03/22 the server will be back up WITH ALL PLAYER FILES still available! The servers hours are 5:30pm EST (10:30pm GMT) - 10:00pm EST (3:00am GMT) EVERY DAY except for Friday (sorry but that is my other Clan's night for the server).

The new server name is {MN} Mercenary Navy (Secondary)...... Hope to see you all there!

Another change... all new players start with only a DEFENDER and 100,000 credits. As someone suggested above...the Barracuda and 500,000 took away a lot of the challenge in the game.

The reason for the name change the server is now joined with the Mercenary Navy, of which the {MN} Mercenary Navy (Primary) is based in the UK. Due to the time diffreneces us Yanks really couldnt play on this server during the weekdays.

So now is Your Chance to join a great group of Freelancers.... this is a great clan, with good people, and fun events. And with the extended Server hours, it should help accomodate a few others.

About the server hours being later.... Im looking into a way that I could keep the server open later (and also give those on the West Coast USA) a better chance to get on the {MN} Server.... but until I can find a way for the server to auto-shut down, it will have to close at 10:00pm EST..... I will keep all posted if this changes.

To auto-shutdown, if using MS Windows XP, use Task Scheduler to schedule: %windir%\system32\shutdown.exe -s at convenient hours. If you want to auto-shutdown flserver.exe try using this great API developed by Fiik: FLADMIN.DLL.
Hope this helps.

What about a mod especially for this server... it seems privateer the reckoning mod is really good...

Movin' in for the kill

Post Thu Mar 25, 2004 4:17 am

As of right now there are NO MODS (even speed mods are forbidden) on this server (as well as the Primary also).

Maybe in the future we will run one modded server and keep the other un-modded.
