General questions, and 1 tough problem...
Hi All,
I just started playing FreeLancer about 2 days ago, and I got it over 1 year ago.. Man.. I wish I had started much earlier.. Dang Morrowind... DOH!!!
This game is a ton of fun... Not as complex or SIM as I would like, but it is still a blast, and there is nothing better out there... IW2 is too dang hard, has no MP, and no Trade Model... but great flight physics and concept.. just that dang single track shield POS... Anyway.. I digress..
I am having sooo much fun, that I decided to set up a server (in the hopes that people will join) So.. I poked some holes in my Firewall.. Had some flashbacks to TradeWars 2002, and thought it was good to go.. after 8 hours of nobody joining, I decided to check on things.. I notice that my server does not show up in the global list, only as LAN... However, I can direct connect to it via IP.
Here is my IP: 68.80.22.245
I am hoping that FL is just hiding the IP one from me since it sees the same game on the LAN? I was just wondering if anyone could look for it for me and let me know if you see it? It is that IP, or by the name " Eternity TradeWars (24/7)" With the spaces in front show it shows up at the top.. (I know.. I am cheap) I would really appreciate it if you let me know if it is there....
I was also wondering... after reading the boards.. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? I was just going to let it run (Iam real busy) but I see that people are already hacking and cheating and stuff.. Is there a good way for me to find cheaters.. (if anyone ever plays on my server..) What are some other good ideas you guys think I should do for my server.
It is a PC dedicated soley to FL... Just had an extra one sitting around running SETI packets before..
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks!!
