Freelancer Community Network Bar (FLCNB) Update Freelancer Community News
Posted by w0dk4 on 2010/6/3 2:00:00 (2090 reads)

Since we had major problems with the Freelancer Community Network Bar being hosted on GoogleCode (mainly high latency resulting in websites loading very slowly), the following measures have been taken:

- The FLCNB is now hosted on a seperate server, meaning we are no longer dependent on downtimes of The-Starport or GoogleCode.
- The FLCNB now also has its own Domain name, which means this will be the last update you as a webmaster will have to do. The domain name is http://www.flcnb.net which will always point to the server that hosts the FL Community Network Bar. This also means that we are a lot more flexible when reacting to server outages - we will simply update the DNS with a backup server.

Please help us to inform any webmaster that is running the FL Community Network Bar at the moment (or is no longer running it because of performance issues with GoogleCode) and spread the word (...)

www.freelancerpatch.com is back! Freelancer Community News
Posted by Bas on 2010/5/16 13:18:22 (2159 reads)

Hello dudes,
I finally (finally!) brought www.freelancerpatch.com back to life!
The site contains as before the information about the GLS Workaround and of course the pretty useful problem solutions FAQ! It containts the answers for many problems which players encounter with the FL game.
I changed the style which is now very similiar to The Starport one (I asked W0dk4 about it and I am a very bad designer yet). I also fixed a few grammer and code errors.

If you want to support the site please link to the FAQ as often as possible (please try to avoid to quote it) - I need the backlinking to get a higher rank at search engines (especially for the search term "freelancer patch" - links to outdated quickfixes or the 1.1 patch won't help the majority of the players who have troulbe with the missing GLS)

Feel free to make suggestion. Those who want to (...)

Freelancer joins Facebook... again! Freelancer Community News
Posted by Roo Avery on 2009/12/22 0:01:11 (1190 reads)

So here I am again, with another one of those 'gimmicks'. This time it is Facebook. After doing a lot of digging around I learnt that the current Facebook Fan Page was very inactive and so were the ‘Admins’ of the page. Therefore I decided we needed a new one.

So here it is: Facebook Fan Page

But there are differences compared to the already existing Facebook page. For instance we have the @Freelancer_MP Twitter updates feeding into the page (not yet update but configured) and also an ‘Events’ section where you can set up events for your server and add in details… resulting in the advertising of your server event to all the fan page members we hope to get.

I have disabled the message board option for the time being, until the page grows. There is no need to have a second message board when we have a community of sites and servers with (...)

SolCommand * 3D Models * Freelancer Community News
Posted by SolCommand on 2009/11/30 16:29:29 (1612 reads)

As a token of appreciation for all the hard work the Freelancer community puts in developing mods and finding new codes that add even more depth to our favorite game, I decided I should give a helping hand in the form of 3D models. I'm not much of an experienced 3D artist but I have the will to try and create models as best as I can for all those that need a new ship or base to spice up their mod. My collection includes ships, bases, asteroids and all sorts of objects that you might find in space ... and I'm adding new models to it almost on a daily basis. You can use all these models for any "Freelancer" mod, or even other games with the only requests of you telling me you're about to use my models in your project and also to mention my name somewhere in your mod's credits.
* Some models come with a background story: http://solcommand.blogspot.com/

@Freelancer_MP - FL joins Twitter! Freelancer Community News
Posted by Roo Avery on 2009/10/8 19:50:00 (1011 reads)

Twitter as we all know is the new Social Networking tool of the masses. Businesses use it. Consumers use it. Global Enterprises use it and even celebrities. And now I would like to recommend, we use it.

To that end I have created a @Freelancer_MP twitter account and would like to invite Community Site Admins and Server Admins to submit to me their front page RSS feeds. These will be then ‘tweeted’ out to the world to follow. What better way to build recognition for all our communities at once?

The details;

1) Roo-Avery holds account details for @Freelancer_MP. As I am no longer associated to any one site or server, I am an unbiased community member attempting to help all Sites and Servers.

2) Every Community site and MP Server can submit 1 (one) RSS feed to me to be configured with the Twitter account. This will automatically then be ‘tweeted’ at intervals and at random.

3) Only Front Page or forum equivalent RSS feeds can (...)

Freelancer Feature Article needs your Screenshots! Freelancer Community News
Posted by Roo Avery on 2009/9/25 22:31:41 (582 reads)

Server Admins/Owners and Modders - this one is for you!

I am in the process of writing a Freelancer feature for one of the UK's premier Xbox Live Fansites. This feature will be displayed in their PC Gaming News forum, their Review forum and on their RSS Feed and Twitter.

The fansite is run by a Microsoft MVP (Most Valuable Professional) and the site is an EMEA Xbox Community Network member, an IGDA Member and a Microsoft Partner.

What does that mean? It means good things for you guys.

I have the opportunity to write this as I am the resident PC News Writer and a member of the Game Review team on the site.

I am happy to inform you I will be featuring 10 screenshots in this feature. That gives 10 servers the opportunity to submit a screenshot to me to be featured. It will be a first come first served basis. The first 10 to hit my inbox only.

Each screenshot will be accompanied by a caption that gives the server name (...)

Freelancer Server Statistics page has moved! Freelancer Community News
Posted by Worfeh on 2009/8/4 13:10:00 (495 reads)

Just wanted to inform everyone that the Freelancer Multiplayer Server Statistics page has moved to
http://www.flserver.de

The graphs for the single server statistics have also changed, please check the 24h/7d topserver pages to find your server graphs.

Also, graphs are now updated in 15 minute intervals rather than 30 minutes. Server player data is now stored up to 10 days rather than 7 days.

Since there has been an IP change for the flserver.de DNS, this may still need some time to be propagated, so dont worry if you cannot reach the new site yet.

Oh, and please make a donation if you like this service (the server doesnt pay itself), I have added a donation link to the bottom at the main page.
