Download and install M$ FL patch v1.1. This should only be applied to flserver installations only, which is what you may have. If you are running the flserver in the same directories as you are running the FL game, you need to seperate the two so the patch is NOT applied to the game, just the server files.

and how i can make player what is entering my server to start another location and start with another ship ?

This is done with server side mods. See posts for Freelancer Heaven and by Captain Tylor, he's the master of this on his server.

and i have a little moded server how i can make a server work only this mod?

If you are NOT talking about just server side mods, then let everyone who logs on, either in the server description or server news, know your server uses a specific mod.

and another thing seen something good what i can do too if i want to make another player (not console) on my server to kick some one what will be able to do it too?

FLAdmin is a great tool for this remote admining of flserver. See the TLR download section.

Have the biggest processing system you can, have the biggest internet connection you can afford and be vigilant in kicking and banning cheaters (they suck up bandwidth, load the server and piss off rule following players). Remember in this instance cheaters are those that mod or hack FL to make it different from what the server is running and other players are running. Mods aren't wrong in and of themselves, it's running one mod on a server and players running different mods like speed hacks, uber sheilds, etc. things not built into the server's mod that is wrong and thus a cheat.

i forgot the last thing how i can change player name if he have not good name?

I would just delete the character because you will probably notice it before he puts too much time into it. If you want to change character names for other reasons, there may be reprocussions so you are on your own. You can use any of the FLCodec programs out there, I use FLCharEd ( don't remember if JoeBoomz actually released it or not ).

Hey Virus come back to the FiiK Fourm I have sent you all the links.
For some reason I cannot email or reply to you email address it gets bounced back as a bad address or rejected.

I would use the Newsts IonCross Frrelancer Server Operator that the Great Joe Boomz created works like a charm and can edit names in it now.

1000% big Kudos to Joe.

I as the ADMIN for Fiik T! would like to thanks all those that are helping Virus, he was a very good player on the FiiK Server and is working at getting his up and running.

Please bear in mind that his native language is not English, but he 100% pure heart.

When I see posts I am replying in a PM to you also hoping you still check the Forums. I left your Gurdians Fourm in tact as you are more than welcome to use it for your server also how ever you want to.

your buddy
