Ya, Dexter... I know exactly what you mean. I have also been looking for those same instructions for quite some time because I want to get my server back online...

Im going to assume you can forward your ports and everything, this is only for the server box:

1. Delete any freelancer files and directories you may have left over.
2. Install Freelancer from disk or other source. (Installation is the same on 32bit and 64bit systems, FLserver will only allocate 2gb afaik)
3. Download and install the discovery installer. This includes both server and client files.
4. Run the installer. Do not use the default disco install directory, but move the Discovery directory to somewhere accessible. I usually put it under (Drive):/Freelancer Server/Discovery for ease of access sake.
5. Under (drive):/Freelancer Server/Discovery/Discovery Freelancer 4.86/EXE/FLserver.exe run that, set up your server, and it should boot up.
6. A command line prompt should pop up next to the FLserver popup, that is your FLhook stuff. use it to give your admin characters admin privileges.
The command is setadmin (nameofcharacter) superadmin
