So this script will let you connect to an alternative master server? Or just connect to the master server in a different way?

I'm a little confused as to what this does :)

it's quite simple: it will confuse u.

there is no alternative master server. and microsoft's master server is offline, for good.

tool's description is quite limited in its purpose.

this script gets the serverlist from
Stats.freelancerserver.de
and is the biggest list of remaining online flservers available

you can add your own server ip with the automated website script at the homepage above

there are currently efforts to obtain the master server DNS and to emulate the master server, so there might be a chance of the global server coming back
check www.fllistserver.com or www.lancersreactor.com for any updates on that

couldn't u simply make one simple download, instead of multiplying it...?

i think players would appreciate that. not that i care, since i don't need it - every good mod should have connection to its server built in, and i do use a mod alike. but, for the sake of others...

when u do something, do it good.

i can't wait to see what will happen when monopoling and centralised tlr takes over the gls list:

1. certain servers getting more attention,
2. others just being deleted from the list because of 'lack of faith',
3. endless flaming against communities and ppl,
4. the history repeats itself, we've all seen it before, just give them power.

i wish u luck, ppl, u r gonna need it.

Try opening it with WinRAR. Alternativly, install FLMM and open it with that. Opening it with a Zipping program will allow you to copy the contents into Freelancer's Folder.
goodone, I simply felt that you had clogged the FL Downloads section with all the tools. Not that I don't appreciate them, I just feel that the only thing so called 'casual' players have access to is your 'SWAT-Portal List' which is, again, Advertising. You're about as subtle as a Brick.

Er... Didn't make sense?
I'm not redirecting people away from the modDB site to my own thing. This is a standalone piece of software that allows people to connect to the GLS. What you did was send people over to SWAT-Portal and flood the main ModDB page with Tools which few people use.

i suggest you calm down now
Moddb is for advertising and presenting stuff... thats the real purpose of this site and its what ppl do

to tell ppl to visit one of the big FL community (and SWAT is the 2nd largest FL community meanwhile) is nothing wrong... especially since Moddb cant cover the stuff that real FL communities do
and to use that tool we use is also not wrong since its used for way longer and more often than this GLS workaround here

to go to other mod pages and blaming them for doing advertisement is somewhat lame... especially since those ppl which claim such a crap do exactly the same here
better dont throw with stones while sitting in the glass house

It's not that. It's simply the way that goodone was verging on decieving' people into visiting SWAT-Portal. I have no objection to it being advertised, is just object to him going onto other mod pages, such as FLWT and say, come and play crossfire, etc.
It annoys me.

the SWAT Portal is not only about Crossfire
CF is just one of the many parts of the Portal
SWAT is one of the biggest FL communities out there supporting many mods inside the portal and helping modding projects outside the portal
Basically we offer everything (and more) that TLR was able to offer until their problems started half a year ago
If you consider it bad that ppl spread the word about a place that helps mod creators then ok... others for sure think different

What it does is contact a server that has IPs and statistics for all servers that are entered into the site's database and then displays them in Freelancer. So actually Goodone its not that limited.

You're not getting my point. I feel that the way that you have 'hogged' the moddb FL front page is wrong. I'm afraid my feelings towards you are less than cordial, and any initial respect I had for you diminished. I don't see how being 16 affects my place in this argument/debate/ fight. To be frank, I don't see why you had to bring it up.

it is not my obligation to deal with the way mod db postings work. i posted stuff ppl basically need, especially modders, just because of personal enthusiasm and free time for uploading them, and u blame me for having fslw disappear from mod db fl front page because of that. u even probably think i did it on purpose, just to get fslw away, which would b just another idiotic conclusion.

this is mod db, a place for mods and tools for modders! if u think that fslw is more important than any other tool, ask for rights on the original postings from w0tk4 and edit it frequently to keep it on the top. but 1st u could take a look at the numbers of dls for things i posted, instead of doing against the rules and posting stuff twice, just to show how much malice u possess. only my decency kept me from having it reported directly to the mod db staff.

and yes, i did brought up ur age, cause u feel and behave like an immature kid; and not very pleasant kid after all.

this is my last comment, i will not deal with u anymore, cause i had my share of that, tnx.

btw, apology is another lesson u should have learned till now.

i rest my case.

You do realize you could have posted it in one package?
It's the fact that the same image was used, little effort went into the description, and the fact that they all appeared within hours of each other.
I do not 'feel' like an Immature Kid. I have a high IQ for my age, lots of freinds and a good social life. Simply because I dislike you does not make a me immature or unpleasant. You do not seem to understand the meaning of the word immature. Please don't use it as an insult to those younger, and possibly smarter than yourself.

You just couldn't leave it could you, you just had to get the last word in.
I've met my fair Share of Trolls and Idiots on the Internet (Ravenhunter, Profanity, Etc) but congrats, you've beaten them all for sheer stupidity and lack of foresight. At least they had a rough Idea of what they were talking about, and knew when to back down. You just don't learn do you?
Hypocrite.
