Hello there, I really love the Crossfire mod for Freelancer, but for some reason I cant seem to get a LAN server working for it. I go to flserver.exe with FLMM and click start server and all that but when I go into freelancer to play it the server says that it is version 1.0 and I cannot join. How do you host a server on the mod?
Also, are there any server managers like the IONCROSS one that work for Crossfire?
Thankyou for all your help,
Mikey

You cant

Lol, will there ever be support for it in the future?
-
I doubt it. OP likes having only his server with Crossfire on it.
-
Search the forums for similiar threads...
I`ll say it again: THE CROSSFIRE MOD IS CRATED ONLY FOR THE CROSSFIRE SERVER, & NO OTHERSERVER ELSE!!!
-
Which is a nice way of saying....no.
-
And plz do not freak out like other did just acept theat you cant do it and basta came play with as all and it willl be even more fun
-
Okay, Thankyou, the only problem with the server is that I am located in Australia, and whenever I connect to the server it is far too laggy for me to play happily... oh well, thanks anyway.
-
Today!? the server has been with a little lag today. Perhaps because of some player joining the server with corrupt files... Don't give up, beeing from Australia isn't such a big deal..
-
okay, thanks once again

One of BG members is from Australia only his ISP has caused him probs

Check with your ISP

there's always little tweaks you can do on your end to speed things up a bit
-
hm if you have tcpip aktivatet it would be a chance to help its direction between crossover and patch and it would help even though if you can also open ports for more speed. if you have like t1 connexion then you got speed enough also.
in ours country whe have not so much fust speed. -
For LaserJet's info, a LAN is mostly used as a privite server for small groups to play on, most of the time those little empty servers that you seem to can't get on are mosty LAN's that show up on the internet screen.
But to answer Mikey's question, You will have to change FLservers version to the same version as CF with Reshacker.Ioncross doesn't work well becuase it was made to run on versions 1.0 and 1.1. You can still use it, you just can't get into the controls.
-
ioncross does run pretty good with changed version... no matter what version... all you need to do is to set the version correctly
oh and crossfire does not work if you dont have the correct serverfiles... to change the version number does not work... it will end with a big crash
-
O well, me and a group of people(about 12 or 15) play differnt mods on a LAN and we did play crossfire one weekend and all we had to do is change FLserver to it's version and it worked fine for us, we didn't use Ioncross, so there was never any need for the server files.
-
since version 1.6 there is no chance to play CF without correct serverfiles

@ HEY2044
I know what LAN is... I said NO OTHER SERVER ELSE. That means neither I-Net servers & LAN servers -
so is there any way a lan version of the server files could be released? I know that hacking ect is feared, but all I want to do is be able to play the thing with other people
and when I try to get on the server it always lags and I can never shoot straight
Oh well, I suppose I will just have to keep on playing open SP.
