How To Install Discovery Or Crossfire On Your Freelancer Server

Your Freelancer server can run the two most popular Freelancer mods, Discovery and Crossfire, with no manual downloads. Pick the mod in Settings and we install and set it up for you.

Installing Discovery Or Crossfire

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and Stop your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Settings.
  3. 3
    Under General, change Mod to discovery or crossfire.
  4. 4
    Click Reinstall in the top-right.
  5. 5
    Select Verify integrity, then confirm and wait for the install to finish.
  6. 6
    Start your server.

To go back to the original game, set Mod to vanilla and follow the same steps.

Note

Players need the same mod installed on their own game to join. Discovery players should use the Discovery launcher so their version matches your server.

Caution

Characters from one mod don't carry over to another. Switching mods keeps your old saves on the server, but they won't work with the new mod. Download a backup first if you want to keep them.
