Server Commands

The main Discovery Freelancer RP 24/7 server uses FLHook to extend the Freelancer experience. FLHook server commands are commands that you can enter into the chat window to perform a specific action. Use it just like chatting to someone, and use the slash at the beginning, "/", to signify a server command. Commands that require parameters can be called without parameters to display help for the command. If you encounter any problems with the commands listed below please report them on the forums.

Command System Features

Feature	Description
Command filtering	Any chat text starting with '/' or '.' will not be repeated to private or system chat (except '//' *sigh*). This means you can safely use /drawcash when you're in system chat without accidentally telling everybody your password.
Command echoing	Most user commands (i.e. starting with /) are echoed back to your console so you can see what you typed. The exceptions to this are /local, /system, /target and their short variants.
