I’ve seen this option on the Discovery server, and as far as I’ve seen, the main point of the command is to change your lights, etc.Just don’t go too far with this, I’ve already seen some players turn their ships into flying disco balls
Well the disco part is sorted but now we need something that can stream music to the rest of the people in the same system! then we would really have A disco going ROFL pirates sitting around freeport 7 strafeing up and down left to right LOL!!!

Besides the all new global:If you use a dynamic IP provider like - say - no-ip.com,
you might have a adress like - say - “iwanttoplay.no-ip.info”
and could reach your game server with a “lan setting” like
“…\EXE\Freelancer.exe -siwanttoplay.no-ip.info:2302”.No need for knowing / updating the IP.
thats a good idea too! now though that woudlnt show up under the gls? as i want to arrect people from the GLS and have a way of manualling connecting to the server.
I dont really want people to run into issues trying to connect to the server via the gls due to the ip changing etc etc. But the no ip i know of and have used for other games aka WoW. i just wasnt sure if it would work for freelancer when im not sure about things i will usally post up and ask.
but having a dynmamic ip could cause issues to remote connect with the server too? As my friend will be hosting the server ill most likely be managing it via remote connection
Meny thanks
Ok Thanks for the help ff

If the IP is dynamic it means it somehow resets periodically. Unless he does something for it (IE turns off the modem), then chances are the players will get disconnected on IP changes. There’s also the pain of constantly having to update the IP given to players (better use the GLS in that case).Apart from that there isn’t anything that stops you from doing it, no.
Yeah same would happen if he were to restart his pc. I really hate it when isps give people dynamic ips. The only problem i see is would the GLS notice the new ip straight away? or would there be a delay for it to update the list. as i pretty much dont want to run into problems with people not being able to connect.

Looks intresting cannon ill be sure to try this out. im most intrested about the pimping option. What can be pimped so to speak?
Cheers
Hey guys.
got something to ask can i host a freelancer server on a dynamic ip?
The reason for this is that a friend is willing to host our server as he has a really powerfull server machne doing nothing atm. now the problem is he has a Dynamic ip adress. He went to his isp and talked to them but they refused to give him a Static ip. They will only give him one if he rents a business connection. Funny thing is that we both have the same connections 20 mb each but ones up the other side of the country. And i have a Static ip address and he dosnt were both using the same isps and connections he even mentioned this to them and they still refused him. Seems a little unfair if i have a static ip but he hasnt…
Anyway the reason im asking this is to see if theres a way to run a server on a dynamic ip without running into problems as this server is public not private.
Cheers

Were mostly looking for a mod that includes captial ships flyable by players. as most of our members like alot of ships from diffrent sci fi series its a hard choice for us to make.
any ideas put forth would be nice.

I didn’t even know Lansdale was still aroundIt’s been a while since I last saw you. Is otto still around?
Anyways, as for your question, there are many mods out there that you could have a go at. I’d suggest 88 flak for its emphasis on combat and gameplay while staying quite similar to vanilla. There’s also Itano Circus that’s really nice. Otherwise, Nightstalker’s Universe is a good choice if flak and Itano aren’t your style.
I’m not sure, but you can also ask WTS World, New Universe, UnderVerse, XLR or Asylum 51 if they share their mods for other servers to use.
You need nightstalkers permission to host his mod as it dosnt come with any of the server files;p
Hello.
all of us over at www.aurora-freelancer.com are looking for other mods to host other than tng. We would be willing to host a mod for a modder or such. We just cant get our minds round what mod to host.
If theres a modder out there who is looking for ways to host his mod then we might be on offer to help if we get on well and if we like the mod.
your all welcome to pm me on here or reply here.

After thinking for awhile i noticed that if we dont act we still start to see a real drop in the number of people playing fl…We need to act to bring new people to fl…things like advertising on Eve or posting on other game forums about FL…
even emailing a gamer mag could really help if they feature us in the mag.
Scar
I noticed that there arnt as meny forums posts lately. some forum posts are more than a few days old or weeks/months.
Seems such a shame. maybe Freelancer is losing members rapidly it seems thus meaning starport becomes less active. Ill blame it on that dam sto game.
Discuss.
Looking really good Keep up the good work and i hope it goes well. I cannot help as im not a programmer sorry.
Good luck though
Ok hotshot thanks for that reply:P
I did miss a few things out bas 
but still thats alot of effort to put in for just single player. when there are other programmes out there. ok sure you wont get auto buy or such but thats not a issue really. i never ever used auto buy didnt see the point in it. As for the other stuff meh:P

umm, the other big question would be, why do you want to port a mainly server-side admin tool to a singleplayer environment?
which feature of flhook would make sense in SP?
I cant really think of any feature tbh…
w0dk4 has a very good point.
There are like no features that would be helpfull in Sp
You would be better using a trainer in sp if u wanted to give yourself cash or such
I thought maybe to encourge more to join aurora. I would post one of the old threads that was posted on our old forums quite awhile it pretty much explains what aurora is about:)
This is an original Aurora post by: mr_dead
So you want to play on aurora? Well welcome aboard to what is in my opimiom the best and most user friendly fl server on the map. If your new here then this thread is for you. I have been playing here for three months or so. In my short time I have seen and learned much. Its truly a complete society with good guys, bad guys, those who fall inbetween, and living breathing comerce and economy, and most important af all lots of friendly people to play the game with. That said, there are a lots of things to learn to function here in a way that you will find both enjoyable and challenging. I would like to list a few here in this thread. I simply want to cover th basics with out spoiling to much of the surprise that await new players. But its important to get a head start in learning how to be a productive member of this gaming community so that you can contribute to it in a responsible manner and understand what the server means to people and what kind of pitfalls await. So lets get started these following details will be enough for you to get the ball rolling. Further discusion is ofcourse welcome I hope to hear from aurora regulars and from the vernerated oldies, add on to this and fill in the details as you see fit.
OK first thing is first. If you here then you in a place created by other people. These people who run this server have a idea of how they feel a game should be played, so there are rules, if you have not read them them please take some time now to familiarise yourself with them. Click to view rules.
Good, now that you know the basic rules here are a few that arent on the books. There are things that are frowned apon, things you may want to avoid. Act on these guidlines as you see fit but know this being looked down upon by the very people you plan to play with cant be all the fun a game can it?
1.Treat every one with respect. Treat them as you would be treated yourself, being overly agresive and or motional during game play is just weird and probably means your unblanced and may want to take a break from games for a while, maybe seek profesional help. I don’t know, but you wont fit in here,that I can tell you.
2. Don’t take advantage of weaker players for the sake of your own pleasure. If you do then your just a being a bully. Which also means your probably a punk. And being a punk on this server will surely get you smacked down. Most all of the senior players here will respond in kind to your behaviour and soon you wont have any place to hide. Making the game virtualy unplyable except for the wee hours of the morning when no one else is on anyway. Wont that be fun for you?
Knowing these things are in the hearts and minds of the real players here will help you to understand what kind of place you plan to become a part of. Weather you stay for a while and then disapear. Or if you come back months later or years down the road. You will have made friends here and on this forum and these threads. That’s something you can enjoy no matter what so make it worth your while and enjoy it as I myslef have learned to and how many before me have been doing for so long.
2nd part
With that said, its free and clear for us to talk turkey about hwo you can get your chars started here.
There are a few types of game play here.
Trader, good guy, pirate, neutral, and mercinary.
Trader. Money money money money. It’s makes the world go round right? Well same here. Things like missles and guns and ships cost money. Theres just no way around it. So setting up a trader char is a good first move. There are few options open to you for a new char, so I recommend you buy a rhino. Its effective enough that you wont need it for long and its small enough to slip by a lot of peoples attention. Those people you might ask, well lets just say pirates are in it for the bootay. But don’t fret there are lots of good guys too and they mix it up with the pirates as often as they can , and vice versa.
OK so now you got the rhino you need a trade route. I will illustrate one here that is more then suffcient to build you enough money so that in one day you can choose from any merchant ship you like and from there build a fortune as large as you have a desire for.
TEXAS system is one jump gate away from ny. Go there seek out the planet houston. When you land go to the market and fill your hold with some DIAMONDS. No map a route to planet HAMBURG via the bering system. Two quick jump gates away. Land and seel them diamonds and make big profit! Easy as pie no?
Now heres how things get tricky in this game, you may notice the LIGHTARMS sitting at hamburg waiting to be bought for the trip back to HOUSTON for some more tiddy profits on a productive ride home to get more diamonds. But you cant buy it. How come? You need REPUTATION. It can be an ugly word for veteran players who like to call it “rep” for short. It’s the second most important thing in the game, and its become a part of the economy just as much as the items you may buy or sell. The things is for every race and government npc you will come across there is a reputation score you carry for them, and if they don’t like you, they’ll let you know about it , by refusing to do business with you for one and blowing you out of the sky for another. But don’t worry cause rep is easy enough to get aall you have to do for this situation is run 15 missions here at hambrug or anyother rhienland police faction base to get the rep you need to buy those light arms and complete the “DIAMOND RUN” This is enough to get you rolling there are many other trade routes to find and exploit to scratch the itch of the capitalist in you. So ask around EXPLORE, and don’t be afraid to try new things. This can be a very fun part of the game and money will never stop being a concern for you as long as you plan to play, weather you have it need it or want to spend it, without it your pretty much just spinngin your wheels. SO get the cash fast so you can start to have some real fun.
Good guy. Well this one is pretty self explanitory but theres more to it then meets the eye. First things first a good guys job is to protect the weak and to be a shining example of what goodness can be. Your righteous and proud your strong and just, heck man you’re one of the good guys. That’s how you may feel before you meet up with a cadre of clan pirates hunting in OMICRON THETA. If your ready to fight the good fight my best advice to you is practice practice practice. Try An ANCIENTS MAYHEM MEDIUM FIGHTER give some DOOMSDAY MISSLELAUNCHERS there day in court collect your self up some STARBEAMS and beg borrow kill or steal to get your self an ESSENCE OF POWER cause your gonna need the best gear in the game to stand up to the bad guys and the traders and the noobs could realy use your help so get good fast and don’t get discouraged because your not alone in your fight, look to the other good guys for support and advice they give it freely so don’t be shy. Learn the habits and wereabouts of the pirates so you can best learn to take them by surprise if your alone, and always keep plenty of ammo on hand. Good luck to you he who be righteous bro, fight the good fight.
Pirate, well here again practice practice practice. You want to steal other peoples loot most preferably the kind that worth real money on the server. So think LOOT, people get loot when they build rep by shooting npc’s down at popular sp[awn points for said npc’s. So learn were to find these spawn points and be quick and deadly. You may want to try out the SHADOW SPIT FIRE LIGHT FIGHTER, and see if you cant find your self a graviton pulse for it. Remember weaker players don’t have much in the way of valuable loot and don’t realy pose much of a threat to you so let them be, just like in sport fishing its good ethics to let the little fish go. Besides that the bigger fish offer greater rewards. Keep your eyes peeled for the goodies know there clan names and learn there habits, in the beginging its going to be hard on you from them and from the pirates as the pirates area fickle bunch and will accept you only after you’ve learned ther ways. SO try and hang with them get a feel for how they conduct themselves, more then likely if your honest about your intentions to joins there ranks they will be plenty helpful. Good luck pirate, be ruthless be fast and most of all filthy stinking rich, arrrrr!
The Mercs job is simple take them down for money. Awho ever they are where ever they hide, you find them and eliminate them for fun and profit. This is a hard job and requires skill patients and perseverance. Make your presence known to your clients be acsesable to be sucsesfull , and be good enough to win the contracts you choose to take on. Don’t go head and take on a contract you cant cover, one you wont get payed and two you wont be called upon for repeat business. Think about your client he wants revenge for wrongs done to him so offer special services like messages to the mark “mr space jockey said to hold this for him” as your torps fire from out of no where. Make sure you get screen shots! You have to prove you did it and you have to make sure your client is happy with the results. The better you get at this game the more money you will make and once you make a name for your self then there will be plenty of call for your services. Good luck to you, then man who kills for profit is a busy merchant in aurora.
