Server Setup

FLHook comes with the mod. That's the good news.

The bad news is the FLhook that came with Update 6 still had a few bugs in it. Preset messages weren't being saved and if you logoff while docked on a player base, when you logged back on you would be 100k below the sun. The latest release of FLHook corrects these faults, but is very strict on cheatting.

It checks the client's freelancer.exe and if the expected checksum isn't found, it will kick the player and ban them for cheating. Usually a good thing, but not always as it won't let you use a changed freelancer.exe so it is a single instance program so Freelancer Companion can import.

Here is the link to the latest FLHook files that correct the preset messages not being saved and the 100k below the sun bug.

Just click on the FLHook.dll and there will be a link to download it. Do the same with FLHook.ini. You might also want to download dsacesrv.dll and dsacesrv.cfg from the flhook_plugins directory. The new dsacesrv has a provision to limit the ammo to a certain value, usually 70 so people can't have any more than that.

Once you have the FLHook.dll and FLHook.ini files, put them in your exe directory of your Freelancer installation, replacing the ones that are already there. If you elect to download the dsacesrv files, put them in the flhook_plugins directory replacing the files that are already there. If you do this, check the dsacesrv.cfg file to make sure that any customized settings such as power drain on cruise and such are correct.
