![]() FLAC stands for Freelancer AntiCheat, but this program does so much more. Created by Eagle, FLAC has been used on many servers over the years. Thanks to the generosity of Eagle, FLAC is now FREE for use (that's right, FREE, but he will still gladly accept donations). To gain access to the private forum, register at http://efs.proboards.com and and email the application at the bottom of the forum. You must be an active server operator, references from other operators are encouraged. Dwnundr and Soupman of the FLC Freelancer Community site have been selected by Eagle to maintain the FLAC site and protect and maintain the source code for further development. We have ambitious plans to add even more to this wonderful program using plugins and editing of the source itself. FLAC offers flexibility with a GUI (Graphical User Interface) and plugins (which can be added to future builds). You can run Ioncross beside it if you like (not in full control). It is not compatible with 64 bit operating systems or FLHook-specific server modifications. Client modifications are necessary, read the forums. There are many mod ini additions that can enchance your mod (like mounting groups etc). To get acces to FLAC you will have to sign up on the Forum http://efs.proboards.com/index.cgi? and send an email to [email protected] with the following information:
If you already have access, you can click here to continue to the FLAC board. Freelancer Anti Cheat (FLAC) is a server side application capable of protecting against all sorts of cheats. Many cheats/mods won't work anymore while others are simply rendered useless. Next to anti cheat this tool also allows server operators to add many new features to their mods which would otherwise be unavailable to them. Feature list
History Development of FLAC started back in early 2003 and the application first saw light of day on the Eagle Utopia server on July 1st of that year, which was the day that server was launched. FLAC started out as a private tool to protect against server crashes and other instabilities Freelancer servers suffered in those days. Due to the success of this tool and requests from outside it was later made suitable to run on a variety of servers out there and made available to other server operators. Many of the anti cheat features within FLAC are proprietary and kept from the general public. This was done deliberaty to prevent possible leaks from being exploited. These days FLAC covers all the important cheats known, and caused development to take a new direction in recent years where focus has been to improve on Freelancer's moddability. To date, FLAC still holds the best track record of stopping cold cheats on both unmodded (vanilla) and a large variety of modded servers out there! Our software is not publically available, and was in the past only available if purchased. Free copies are now provided to experienced server operators and their affiliates. You must meet the server operator guidelines posted above to recieve the program. We look forward to bringing server operators new functions and support well into the future. Thanks for your time in reading this. [RIP]Soupman & [RIP]Dwnundr http://efs.proboards.com/ http://freelancercommunity.net/

To Quote Eagle 64 may be an issue since some dependencies require using 32 using 64 you'd run into other issues eventually. better safe than sorry use what you like ... we recommend 32 and discourage 64

But you will be trying to remove that limit for further development and to add even more to it, right?

First things First
The Team we are putting together to Code FLAC will First look at the feature requests on Eagles Site in the private section. those will be proritized and then we will move forward. Those that have access there .. now know the program is avail at no cost and what they need to do to keep it running on their servers.

First things First ..i will admit that tearing Down Flac was a major pain in the ass .... Eagle built in so many checks to secure it and verify users to keep the system from being abused... the program always had to resolve to eagles personal server which at one point had gone offline for good.. we thought this was the end of FLAC.
But you guys know us ..if nothing else you can say we are stubborn mule headed %*^&(**^&*(^ you get the idea. We were saved at last when we brought dmz on to the coding team and he got the program working again without registration or the key gen .... making this program avail to all that need it now and into the future... the requirement to sign up at eagles site and request access is still our policy .. but the software will be provided to all that need it at no cost. We know that Freelancer is more or less dead but hell ..we still operate D3 servers and have been around over 17 years now so dont worry we will always be around to support server admins. we are still working on new features but for this new release here is what we did.. [RELEASE NOTES] New in this release: NEW Ver# 2.9.9.10 DMZ has done major upgrades! FLAC now works with all versions of Windows and both 32 and 64 bit OS's. He has removed the registration requirement so the KeyGen is no longer required. FLAC is now run directly from the file folder rather than being installed as a program. new features are still being worked on and FLAC is Def Alive and well. thank for taking the time to read this update Team [RIP] Soup,Dwn and dmz ...everyone involved with making FLAC stronger

Hooray and power to you. Always loved FLAC, used it for years, only reason i stopped was because it wouldn't work on 64bit systems. Seems that's changed. Well done Soupman and your crew
