Idea to make people follow the rules!

[Bloodhound]

This is one of the more carefully crafted mods--I have played on horribly modded servers and Discovery is pretty 'tight' overall.

Any mod can be inherently unstable and Freelancer itself is too.

Yes, this is one of better crafted mods and good optimised, compared to other modded servers, but there is allways a "minimal risk" when putting a mod in use, no matter how carefully crafted, the mod can conflict with Freelancer`s standard data filles (not only with Freelancer, all games that have mods will expirience crashes). Discovery mod is indeed more carefully crafted, otherwise, the server with soo many modifications would crash every 20 minutes, so we need to consider ourselves lucky...

Besides, i saw that in mod development players too participate in mod expanison, by making their own ships and/or weapons (while admins put more sustems). Their creations may be the cause of crash, since the textures, models, data files ,ect... may confilct with Freelancer`s standard files and/or other mod`s files.

Things like npc spawn, shot numbers, death times--all can cause server to fitz.

Those things can`t cause server to crash, but can add effect.

But the crashes on weekends are most likely a lot of players trying cheats or logging on with not fully uninstalled mods from elsewhere plus all the other things.

You are right there:nyam:.



Just to say one more thing: the topic title doesen`t match with the disscusion within it (it says for an idea to make ppl folow rules, and we discuss about cause of crashes:P).
