  • Event after the Nomad hunt event (CSF - stolen secret documents)

    After the Nomad event i took the liberty to make another event 8o . Event started at 22:30 and ended at 01:00 servertime.
    The event was a little old (at least 1 year) and i think this was OP original event, but dunno (it was console).


    Event details to console:

  • Smuggler Hunt

    I'll be hosting the Smuggler Hunt on 10.10 (tomorrow and my first one 8o ) @ 20:00 server time @ Arena system.


    Rules of Smuggler Hunt
    General rules and rewards:
    · Each player gets 5 million credits as participation reward
    · Smuggler gains additional 5 million credits per tagged checkpoint, and 10 million credits if he reaches the target
    · Smuggler gains additional 10 million credits if he kills an attacking hunter
    · Hunter gains 15 million per killed smuggler
    (not quite sure about prices yet, but this is minimum 8) )


    · Player that is killed by another player or an NPC can't return to the hunt
    · No use of nanobots and shield batteries
    · No docking for repairs and reloads

    · smuggler can't fly capital ships
    · all checkpoints must be reached by the smuggler before (s)he enters the target system
    · smuggler must carry at least one BMG in cargo hold, to ensure NPC participation


    Rules for hunters:

  • New jumpholes

    Vanilla must have FP7 next to Manhatten or close. Otherwise they probably wouldn't go to MH to take care of injuried people.
    But on the other hand i think i remember something about 2 weeks later in the Intro. Confusing - and maybe it can be fixed ?

  • Maximize traffic to Crossfire server for Windows 7/8

    I totally agree with you Gunny - thats the essence of the UDP protocol and the internet. Not much to do about that.
    But as ip-phones (same technique) does work via internet, i think it's worth a shot. Any gains above 0% is positive - right ?


    I could suggest VPN connections to the server, but i don't think i will do that (really bad timing). This will probably require registration of ip-adresses for whitelisting, cost credits and OPs time to set it up.

  • Maximize traffic to Crossfire server for Windows 7/8

    As Windows 7 offer this Quality of Service (QoS), i think this is worth a try, if u guys are willing to test this.
    This is only available from Windows 7 or equilevant OS. Windows XP "only" offer an API to do this and i have found no information whether Freelancer uses this API.


    First you need to write down the current ping from the server when u are online (or the values you remember). Do this from the Chat with the /ping command ingame or the value in Crossfire 24/7 RP server select page.
    Please be aware that ping will change all the time, due to traffic from and to online players.


    What to do next:
    1. Open the program C:\Windows\System32\gpedit.msc
    2. Expand Computer Configuration - Windows Settings - Policy Based QoS
    3. Right click Policy Based QoS and choose Create new policy
    4. In the Policy Name write Crossfire
    5. Select "Specify DSCP Value" and set the value to 46 (for now - this sets the priority - valid values are from 0 to 63)
    6. Select "Specify Outbound Throttle Rate" and set the value to ex. 3 Mbps (This specify how much bandwith per second there will be reserved ) and click Next
    7. Select "Only applications with...." and write Freelancer.exe (dont specify the path as the runtime is not from the \exe but \exe2 - Both Freelancer.exe will be included here) and click Next
    8. Select "Any source.." and Any destination..." and click Next
    9. Select UDP from the "Select the protocol..."
    10. Select "From this source..." and write 2300:2400 (Microsoft info)
    11. Select "To this destination..." and write 2302:2304 (Microsoft info) and click Finish


    I have attached a picture of the finished policy, so you can see if you did it right.


    Please report in your bandwith and change in the ping, if any. Thanks in advance.


    PS. If you have your own router it's also possible to do QoS on that one (if it's a newer one). I have Attached my Cisco-Linksys E4200 config (picture).
