Setting up a private freelancer server

Fri Mar 30, 2007 2:49 am by neuromante

Hi all. A friends and I are trying to set up a vanilla freelancer server, just to test connection speed and all the stuff for a future private server.
As I'm going to be the server, I have to make the questions:
-> There are *any* way or program to add ships, events and so on while the server it's in execution? (Something like a huge army in a system, items, etc mainly to make events) I know something about modding and I know that you have to modify LOT of stuff in the .ini files. I'm looking for some kind of admin utility that allow me to add stuff "on the fly".
-> I have downloaded the ioncross server operator. I'm from Spain, so the program doesn't work, there are any other utility to manage a server that works *fine*?

That's all for now. Sorry for my bad english, and thanks for the answers

EDIT: In addition, when I set up the server from my computer it use to crash when I, a friend or both try to connect. I'm connecting from the same computer, but we have manage to connect in other moment without any problem..

not sure if they have any mods for adding ships to areas while the server is running but, it does sound like a good idea
I may be interested in adding such a mod to my own server as well
would come in very handy for making playable events to liven things up on a server

no need to apologise for your bad English, you seem to speak alot better than you realise
I had no problems understanding you at all, I think you are pretty good with that language

heck I know some people that use English as a primary language and still are not as good with the language as you are

So, there aren't any known way to add stuff on the fly? what a shame.. it was a great idea to make events..
Anyway, we had kept trying to set up the server, but it keeps crashing after a while. We was 3 players and my connection it's fast enough to maintain 'em (4 megs up, over 500k down). We was playing with a vanilla 1.0 freelancer, there are no firewall issues (I was using ZA Pro and the game had all the incoming/outcoming traffic allowed via program control).

And well, thanks for telling me that my english rocks, I had a +100 bonus on my ego during this week

The reason thhings cannot be added on the fly is because freelancr loads everything as it loads and at that time only. I agree that being able to would be nice, but it does work that way with FL.
