Freelancer Discussion::Old Man Needs your help
IPv6 is a new internet protocol that we didn't mod Freelancer to support yet. In case you have a rather recent OS such as Vista and later, you want to disable it (google for as to how) in order to have your game use the same protocol as the servers do.

Also, keep in mind, that most servers only support clients that have their respective mod installed, so sometimes you want to filter the server list ingame to display only those with compatible builds so only those you can join are displayed.

.OBJ format is the way to go, guarantees universal useage and simple to convert to FL format. If you look at turbosquid or similar, nearly everything on there is in OBJ format for this reason.

Still a few mods being released, Genesis was the last one i saw on moddb but there are others

Ioncross is up and running version 1.0
You basically have to re-learn how to play freelancer in this mod.
There's a hand full of ppl playing atm, Would love to see some more fresh blood.
I for one like the risks it brings, instead of the horde of nomad using eagles some servers have.

I remember somebody talked this topic before but i cannot found it.

Is anybody tried this on a public VPS server provider?

I can get a cheap VPS server from one of my vHost provider. the server has:

Xen PV
2 x CPU Cores (shared)
Memory: 512MB
Swap: 128MB
HDD: 15GB (7.2K SAS HW RAID 10)
2*IPv4, 2*IPv6
Free Basic DDOS Protection
Monthly Transfer: 250GB
Gigabit Public Network
Gigabit Internal Private Network

server located in Portland USA.

Provider says the server mainly (and likely Only) for Web server, when i ask them i will use this to run a game server on my VPS, they laugh and say i will be suspend if i use too many resource.

So i here to ask this question.... the server maybe just 5-10 people online in same time and running FLHook only. (in this case, let's us the 1.0 server for a standard).

I have a cheap VPS with configuration similar to yours.
I got that for cheap price from XnYnZ.com .They are providing excellent service and support.They provide a service called Bandwidth Overage Protection .So that when my allotted bandwidth is exceeded I can buy extra bandwidth to use.You can also try their hosting service.

Freelancer Discussion::Theoretical scenario - Civilian, Navy, and Pirate issues
Balancing a mod is really a pain, and for some reason, it's kinda unrealistic that Bombers weapons has no weapon type such as capital ship weapons, it could be better for balance.

Capital ships for civilian isn't a bad idea, considering Star Wars, there is independent faction like Hutts, CSA and CIS (militarized merchants), in FL there is war between ALG and GMG, why couldn't they have build Capships?

Freelancer gives weapons to civilians, we can continue to this way, United-Statians have the right to bear guns, why a civilian couldn't fly a cruiser in an interstellar point of view?

Freelancer Discussion::"Dead is dead" in FL online
I made a simplier solution for my project:

If your ship was destroyed, you will be respawned at nearby homeworld system base with free tier 0 tech ship and equipment depending on your char's faction/side.

Ofcourse this way works with other game features not mentioned here to achieve quite nice permadeath solution.

It's important to get into cruise asap then just keep flying through the rings and don't get distracted by weapon platforms firing at you (set your CM on auto).

It's been a while since I played the SP but I think he makes a mistake near the end and you win easily.

technically only a few are different as they have a pretty high polygon number which might be problematical for FL

but most of then can be used in FL...
creating a texture.... uv-mapping them...exporting them to cmp... building a custom sur... building a wireframe model and hardpointing them

thats it

Freelancer Discussion::Which Mods/Patches for Extending FL SP Gameplay on Modern Hardware?
General rule of thumb, if you install a mod, don't install any patches, the mod will include all that you need. You also run the risk of writing over modded files and breaking the mod.

As for enb series. Freelancer is an old dx8 game, enb can be used to apply some dx9 effects like bloom and colour correction. Most modern mods include a version of it.

Question about FLEx file placement [by Vehicle]

Wed, 11 Jul 2012 20:08:54 +0200

Freelancer Discussion::Question about FLEx file placement
I seem to have run into a snag with FLEx (surprising, right?). Im using the program for the only thing its good for - creating bases (bare bones i.e. no commodities, missions or anything, just the model) however, I can't seem to find the system folder anywhere. I've tried dragging and dropping from FLEx onto the desktop but it says its no longer there. The mod folder that features this system is empty save for the script. Despite this, FLEx will allow me to edit and add bases to the system. Can someone help me understand whats going on here and how, if I can, fix it?

For those who need visuals to gain a better understanding:
http://i.imgur.com/Qyx5S.jpg - Shows what FLEx sees in the mod folder versus what is actually there (which is nothing)

http://i.imgur.com/o0G7G.jpg - Shows the "lolitsnottheredude" error.

Thanks in advance.

If people didn't stand on the shoulders of giants we wouldn't actually get progress, sometimes the best advancements are made based on others work. Ask yourself what would drive people to innovate if they didn't see the same stuff over and over?
