Usiong the same ship/save/character on different servers

Tue May 27, 2003 10:16 pm by Zeph Davies

my friend has a server, inwhich he playes on. i have a server inwhich i play on. he joins my server, and he HAS to start from the beginning. how can i make him start with the ship he has on his server. could someone give me a step-by-step guide to do this! thanx!

i think it involves editing the server details on my comp, steeling them from his.

it is very diffacult frist you (or admin of a server) would need to find the save on the sever (SUPER DIFFUCILT!!! i not kidding). becasue all the saves and in a folder of a acounts, the folders are named as hex adress so one folder would look like "23-0a1dc85f". then inside that would be all the saves which would be another hex adress which would look more like this "0d-906ffd20.fl". now the only way to find out is by date when it was created and when you last played (last modifed). now going through about 700 acounts and looking at the dates of all the saves would take days and frankly we admins don't have time for these requests so thats why there some one makeing a program that one day do this.
then you would have the admin e-mail you a copy(if your the admin the you don't have to e-mail your self). then you would e-mail the admin on the sever you want the clone on. Then you have the admin find your acount useing the same method above and then paste it into the acount folder.

est time taken : 2 weeks to 2 months
good luck if you ever want to try that

maybe i didnt make myself as clear as i would of liked.

Both servers are LAN and are local (ie, i have access to both server computers, mine and my friend's)

there are only about 6 accounts on my server and one on his. (ive played with my bros/2nd comp/dad/etc)

i have found the files: My documents\my games\ freelancer\ accounts
but how do i hex edit the files accross (his server to mine)

Just copy the files over to his computer, how hard could that be? Burn them onto a CD or something.

Read the readme.html in the extras folder on the Cd for copying the server saves
