Reinstalling and Keeping Characters Accounts

Fri Feb 11, 2005 10:26 am by ThrustBuster

I have a server that my friends and me play on. Its LAN.

Lets say I wanted to use a different computer as the server. Is there a way to transfer the Character Accounts to that new server so we don't loose our accounts?

What about if I needed to reinstall the server? I guess I would do it in the same way as I would in my previous question.

I'm assuming that there is file or folder that I need to copy and post some where, but so far I couldn't anything. Thanks for all the help.

afaik:

My documents/my games/freelancer/accts/
In there are the SP and MP folders (for save games). The MP of course is your server folder (afaik) - and therefore copy the contents (or zip em up) and move them somewhere safe for the uninstall (or transfer) of the game. Then just replace them back into the same directory structure as before - and bang wallop - you should be sorted.

Course - there is always the option that I don't really know - just going for an 'educated' guess, as i have never run a server

I have never tried this but it sould work as Chips said as long as you also have the same FLID number at your old servers copy of FL. The name of the player files and directories are tied to the server and the players FLID, but contain neither number.
