Thank ya Ed, some of the first group remind me of Koshime’s work from Infinity.

OK. Posted this on my forums for people to see. Hopefully you’ll get a few more members now 🙂

I’d recommend informing some of the DIscovery, FL:CE, SW:WTS, CF, Void and Monkey Universe Admins as well about this. I’m sure we can get over a few hundred to join this group!

Look through http://www.cryosphere.f2s.com/Freelancer/globalstats.html and http://www.aa-flserver.de/flserverstat/topservers24h.php to discover one that suits you.

After spending many lurking and occasionally posting, I honestly need to say something.
Almost all of you, are pathetic, even me to an extent
I spent time with so many other modding communities, but coming back to Freelancer just makes me cringe.
Every last thing is always bicker bicker bicker, argue, this community sucks, this mod does this, this mod does that, they all suck, etc.
I’ve seen games that were in much worse situations than Freelancer that ended up better simply because of a united community.
Look at Half-Life, look at Morrowind, look at Oblivion, all games that have been able to keep strong because of amazing modding communities.
And look at us. The majority of people who actually know about Freelancer think the modding community is awful.
I’ve finally been able to accept that Microsoft will NEVER, EVER release Freelancer 2, the source code, just deal with it.
WE however, have a chance to create a Freelancer 2, all our modders might argue, and many are immature, but god damn, they have talent, and talent could finally make that dream mod we all look for, and it wouldn’t take just one person, but all of us.
Right now, I’m with OP, that chance is so low it might as well be impossible.
But they said that things like Morrowind and Oblivion going online was impossible, and that happened, thanks to the community.

So for those who can’t read that much text, and want a shortened version. Here:
If you don’t stop being immature, and work together, Freelancer will die. Painfully.
And I doubt you’ll ever stop arguing about who’s mod is best to actually do that.

Just as info, I am going to create some kind of index html file which contains links to all hosted pages
So ppl can use this as navigation if they forgot the complete URL >_> ^^
I will use some adverts ONLY at that index page and at my own hosted thingies. (And only banners and/or google ads, no annoying pop ups)

i would be the first to say mine blows

One of the major causes of lag on the discoverygc server is NPC related. Obviously this depends on your mod and how many NPCs it is designed to spawn. The discovery mod is not particularly NPC intensive but with players in many systems there are lots of NPCs.

We use the flhook NPC spawn thresholds to control NPC related load. These thresholds can be a little counter intuitive - if you have many players on the server and set a high spawn-off threshold, say 70ms, the server load will climb to meet this. We currently set both the spawn-off and spawn-on thresholds to about 40ms. In effect this sets the server load to 40ms - still a bit laggy but playable. The downside with this is that there are not many NPCs around when the player load climbs high.

For most other servers I’d suggest setting these parameters to lower numbers say 20 or 30ms.

Another major cause of apparent lag is people with bad wifi connections. These guys drop lots of packets over the wifi link and this shows up as lag to both the player and the other players around them. Not much can be down about this - although you can use the anti-cheat plugin and/or CheaterDeath to kick players with very bad connections.

Yep, Rss on main page does not working but rss from forums works!

Btw. Try this one:
http://the-starport.net/index2.php?option=com_ds-syndicate&version=1&feed_id=2

It seems to work.

Well since Cryo`s hasnt updated for over a month … i think we need something for sure…

Well in that case, I hereby declare the thread locked.

I know that final post will cause a few to post in anger, or support, and that will only lead to another flamewar.

Again, we are sorry to see you leave.

Its gonna be a dull story right now.

But in the SP 2.0 is a decent download section availeble with a decent search function with decent categories where you can find downloads in a easy way.
And believe me, we want that sp 2.0 running as fast as we can, we just hit against the wall of no time lately. Its hard enough allready to even be online regular, atleast if im talking for my self here.

that is a good idea and place links so people could down load and try new mods 🙂

Was that back in tha day,like when they had real paper and ink lol ;D you know the real computer blizzzt grup though mine still glitches

Hehe, don’t forget that this will not only be a DL mirror but also some advertising 😉
(because some ppl may browse the DL cats >_> ^^)

All you need to do is to write down your ok and optionally the mod names 😛

TY ! 😄

Hideout.sk - Wanted to reg there but somehow I wasn’t able to do so ^^

However, I might have to search the DLL too, but will first try by my own.

Once again, this thread is going no where and some people are throwing insults. I’m going to lock this thread for the time being, until the Admins here decide what to do with it.

locked

Chill people.
