What we need as server admins

We need a server tool so we can check the players better there are not even logs this way i cant see whats going on when i am not there also tool so remote admins can use admin rights so they can handle on there own.

plz say that somebody is working on such a thing.

additionally some kind of option to edit starting conditions would be cool. so any player who connects starts with X $ and ship X in system X. so it wouldnt be that hard to change the server when playing....

acctually you can already do this i figured out how to even set allianece toward other factions aswell as money but i dont know how to put start from a diffrent system and start with a diffrent ship.

this could be helpfull when for some reeason you lose your users account information so you can give everybode more money when they start.

just take take a look in ../exe subdir of your freelancer directory and find the file mpnewcharacter.fl open it with notepad or whatever program your using you will see money, ship, system, base ect you can remove %%MONEY%% and replace by any number you desire when you scoll down your will see these kind of lines house = 0.91, li_n_grp these are the factions and the how your status is toward them in the begin of the game i have no idea wich faction is wich but i do know that when you change it like this house = 1, li_n_grp you will have that faction 100% allied to you. when you make house = -1, li_n_grp it will be 100% hostile toward you. As you can see you can also set base and system start location but i have no idea what to put there i dont think putting just new york there (for exemple) is going to work it is probably some shortcut like the faction settings.

i think making a server too that allowes you to set this easy should not take long before it comes but i would like to see logs and user personal info like what ship are they flying what weapons do they have and most of all how much money do they have and how much money they have made and the last few days. At this point there is just no way to check your users what there doing you can start accusing them of cheating well maybe there not..

They did a sloppy thing on the server just the fact that they can cheat so easy and in just so short amount of time.
