  • Crossfire

    Yes, I gathered that after doing a bit more reading...


    I was here to look for a mod I could host... I just happened to select Freelancer I think because I was looking for a "Space Game" and while I was updating my "Crossfire" RPG server, I happened across "Crossfire Freelancer" and took a look at it.


    Guess I need to keep looking for the right "space game" to add to my hosted servers...

  • CROSSFIRE 'n SWAT FUTURE an open letter

    Sad to hear all this, being my first day to these forums.


    As my name implies, I am a "serverhost"... I started as a BBS Sysop in 1980 (and still run my BBS), but it lead me to host various online game servers over the years as FREE servers for people to play on. I still host many servers for Quake, Wolfenstien, Diablo, StarCrafts, AoE, Tribes, NeverWinter Nights etc etc. and most recently I was looking to host a Freelancer server or some form of "Space Game"... and some how the Crossfire Server mod caught my attention ...


    I was hoping to get the mod to host a server... but it appears that it's only for the client, and obviously with OP looking to bow out, even if it was for the server side, any help to get it to run would be unanswered...


    I understand where OP is coming from. I host: http://nordock.net, a rather large NeverWinter Night community and host 7 servers for them, but most are empty most of the time. I don't do any scripting or programming, I am just the "serverhost" so I supply the hardware, bandwidth etc.... usually a thankless job and costs $$$ that I never get back. And of course when there are problems with the server, it's me that gets the emails (though I have to admit the Devs and DMs have stepped in in the past and kept things going without my help since they have rather extensive access to most things).... anyway,there are times I have though about closing things down since the "community" is 20 out of 15,000 which is a very small set.


    Anyway, I don't know you OP, but I feel for you :)


    If you ever need a place to host the server and don't mind letting someone that can't do anything but host it have a copy to host, I'll put it on a server here (guess I am asking for some abuse)...


    Off to look around for a Freelancer Mod I can host, or may some other "space game" to host out there...
