Newbie needs help please.

I’m really sorry for bothering everyone, but I really just need some simple help, I think. I pretty much don’t know any programing, so showing me code without explaining where it goes will confuse me.
I have a simple server going that will just be my friends and I messing around in. I will be doing a little bit of modding such as new system(s) and the such. What I really want is a way to set penalties for dying in ANY way (not just by PvP). Such as losing a certain amount of money. Once you can’t pay for it, you go back to Mann. and start out fresh.
I ended up finding FLHook, but two things.
It doesn’t explain how to install itself….pretty much at all. It does, but it doesn’t make ANY sense at all. I was just sitting there like, “…Where the hell do I put these folders? Do I overwrite the folders in the Freelancer program files? Do I just drop them in the EXE folder? I don’t even…”
Also, it says it need FLServer 1.1. I patched the game (1.1 and 1.4), but it still shows the sever as 1.0. I know it does change the number in the game itself, but I dunno if it changes the number on the server or not.
Not even sure if FLHook will do what I want, but I’m willing to try anything. I was using FLShell before and it only does PvP penalties.
Will anyone be willing to help me out, please?

the 1.1 number is a formality. in fact you only need the 1.1 official patch and yes, throw the flhook files into thy freelancer\exe directory (ofc you don’t need the source folder, it doesn’t affect anything). for the flhook to function it only needs to run while the server is running, it’l manage the connection to the game itself.

I did that before too. I run the server, everything’s just fine, then I start FLHook. I get this:
This application had failed to start because server.dll was not found. Re-installing the blah blah blah
And then FLHook crashes. yeeeaahhhh.
Oh! If it helps, I downloaded FLHook 1.6.6.

i can only guess thy problem is the 1.4 patch… maybe a developer or admin over here can give more precise info on that.Gaahh… If it is, I wonder if there’s a way to unpatch it without reinstalling. >< I would like to, but only because I’m lazy.
Anyway, another question I have is about Suns. I’m using Freelancer Explorer to make systems, and I noticed that no matter what color I set to stuff, it doesn’t change the color of the sun. So I’m guessing you can’t change it unless you mess with the model itself huh?
Also, is there a way to increase the size of the sun? I’m guessing not without touching the models. ><
