How i can creat a server

put in the flhook files to the exe directory (or some ini to data\flhook, if you use the latest 88flak hook)
execute .\exe\flserver.exe
execute .\exe\flhookstart.exe
if your internet and its settings are fine, you will now be able to join your server from another computer (executing .\exe\freelancer.ini -s[IP of thy server computer]) or from the same if you have patched freelancer to 1.1

You just open the FLServer.exe file, no?

not if you want to use flhook
unless you add it to the server dacom but there’s no need.
also, if you want to play on the server machine, you need the 1.1 patch.

99% of all servers add “FLHook.dll” (without quotes, of course) to the Libraries list in dacomsrv.ini. It’s a lot more convenient.

Wait, so you say that if I want to create a new server with special commands I need to create another Freelancer (server install) with other FLHook.dll, or it works with the regular Freelancer?

it works with regular freelancer. you have no need to mod the dacomsrv.ini in .\exe\ directory, though this way the hook console starts automatically with flserver.exe. ofc your exe directory needs to contain all of the flhook files (and plugins, if you use plugins in the correct folder). otherwise, you can open a flserver but neither the server nor the client can trigger a hook command.

use your already installed freelancer. double click on fl.server found here:

C drive: programfiles\microsoftgames\freelancer\exe
this will start a server (without flhook).

if you want to use flhook you need to download the 1.1 patch and a version of flhook which can be found in the server downloads section of this forum.
FLHook needs the 1.1 patch to be installed for it to work.

FLHook comes with instructions for installation and use.

mohanedhasan I think you will have a serious language problem so do not use FL Hook.

Because it needs good knowledge to use it and modify it.

Seriously mate, if you can’t understand it then you can;t use it.

That, or get someone who actually SPEAKS English to translate for you.

well, maybe its really us, who we do not talk proper english. we use here a technical jargon, which is a very high and specialised level of speach, even to non-common people.

It’s just that we assume too much sometimes, or are too eager to give a solution - sometimes the user is not able to use our solutions and it’s difficult to spot that.

A clear step-by-step guide is always useful, and I think one is needed for FL Hook.

Does one exist at all?

This is why I write “walls of text” from time to time.

maybe we shall suggest ioncross or biocross or one of such ones, as they have more a user-friendly interface while flhook is more for experienced admins and especially modders.

I’d argue that FLHook definitely is NOT for beginners. Messing with plugins, DLL compatibilities, INI settings and all that requires at least moderate knowledge of FL.

Knowledge of English or German also is almost a necessity.

First: it is English. And second: You have to actually KNOW English before you ask people to explain in English.
The language you speak is probably Inglish, but with less spelling mistakes and more grammer mistakes.

Never understood exactly how FLHook works. I tried to do some stuff and experiments but the only resault was that I screwed the game so much I had to completely delete it and install again.

BTW, why German? The Greman version FLHook is written in German? Or its just for commands?

the second largest part of our community is the one with German as native or main language. many people from early stages of flhook are Germans, at least a third of the best modders around us are Germans. it is the second language you can ask for support with, after you tried English or if you can’t English.

Good thing I know German!

Actually, a small hint, we have some German public board at T SP as well.
