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 :)

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.

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

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.

geez.

this comment section is for commenting on the MOD not on the maturity of the modmaker, speaking of which, you are biting at the ankles of a person who created a very usefull tool that over 700+ people use

did you ever do such a thing? doogone? Ruppet has done a good deed and you start questioning his maturity in the completely wrong place.
you don't even play freelancer, do you?

now, for my question:
I recently got Discovery freelancer beta 3
and for some reason when i open the multiplayer menu, i refresh and only the Discovery RP 24/7 server shows up, i don't run any filters and the USA server also runs the same mod, so i can't play that.
is that the GLS's fault of the beta's fault?

I am having a little trouble with this mod, it worked on my old computer, before I got the discovery mod and that stuffed it up completely and couldn't even re-install the game, now I have it on my new Toshiba laptop, The only way I can get the global server is by activating The Void: 2115 v7, but as soon as I click connect on any servers it crashes, any clues how to get Workaround to work? + @Nerdrage, it's had over 2k downloads just on this site.
