Hello, my attempt to host my own server was almost successful. I already could manage to start a server using IONCROSS and FLHOOK. The problem now is to update the .txt files so IONCROSS knows what "codes" correspond to each faction, weapon, base, etc...
At the moment I'm working with the factions. The main house stuff was easy such as li_n_guardian = liberty navy guard, for example.
But others are making me wonder...
Can someone help me with this list?:
Added some entries to IONCROSS .txt files for being able to teleport players to gallia and iota (roughly, just one avaiable location, but it's something)
Factions.txt file is still on development and under testing.
I'm sharing the files. So other people trying to host their own servers doesn't have to do all the work and testing that I had to do myself.
As for the others, well, here's the full 4.85 list. Actually, the Ioncross files are in a folder in your Freelancer directory, so you don't have to do all this.
Still, best to do it yourself so you know it rather than letting someone else tell you.

Thank you very much! I love you! This is going to be really really useful. :3
People at my server will be very pleased to hear I finally have this one sorted.
OK, I have a question. The server is running really healthy... But my game client is not.
I was planning to do a reinstall, but as the server install is done simultaneously with client install when you install freelancer, I was wondering if I will lose the data of my players by reinstalling my game client.
(Yes, I'm playing and hosting in the same machine, because I have no resources to mount another one. :<)
So, my question is: Will I lose the data of the players on my server if I reinstall? If so... Is there any way to make a backup that I can put back to the server so they can keep using their accounts without even noticing the reinstall? (What I want less now is to get more complaints from players on my server, in general, I already have big pollemic after sanctioning some cheaters and people that was totally "killing" the RP)
Maybe because I started hosting recently, my friend, and I have NO knowledge about it, I didn't got much help (but I appreciate the help I got), but most of all I had to guess/find it out myself.
<strike>So, well... with the release of .86 I suppose that I'll have to update my server.
I have two questions:
1.- What do I need to do for updating so all features are avaiable?
2.- When my server was .85, some commands like /givecash or /ping weren't working, as if they didn't exist... Was it because my version of FlHook was old? If so, what version should I get, and where?</strike>
Thank you very much in advance for the help.
EDIT: Nevermind, I just noticed that the 4.86 installer does everything!
I really was more than pleased when I saw the FlHook console popping up no long after starting up the server.
Also, I tried some commands and they work like they should.
Thank you for the awesome Job, devs!
<strike>(The only question I have now...) It appears like the "MOTD" message saying who are the admins on the server is the same in my server, thus, giving names that are not even used! :lol:How can I change it? Is it in some part of the flhook.ini file?</strike>
