Post subject: ASSS Setup

Okay, I am converting my server to ASSS to free-up lag quantities and make it more customizable. I downloaded the Window's version of ASSS and un-zipped it. However, I don't know what to do from there, can someone give me a step-by-step guide?

I am sorry I sound like a noob, but I have never used ASSS ever.

Join the club, ASSS is not officially supported for Windows; however, either you're using Dr Brains build of what, 1.2 or Catid's build of 1.7/8?; but read up on the ASSS user guide on www.sscx.net/asss/, it pretty much applies to the windows version as well..

Splody has been writing some (useless, so far) Easy ASSS Guide and well, he put some ASSS thingies here.

Some directory info:

/arenas - arena settings;
/bin - binaries;
/conf - settings (staff / game);
/doc - documentation;
/log - logs;
/maps - level files;
/src - source files.

About the configuration files/dirs in /conf:

/groupdef.dir - in this directory are the files which allow you to configure command permissions;
/svs - this is the directory where the svs settings are in, your own settings should have an own directory too in /conf;
global.conf - your server's main configuration file;
modules.conf - specify the modules which you want to be loaded on startup - read the note at the top;
staff.conf - staff group specifications, also passwords for groups go here.

Smong has some modules on his ASSS page.

What OS are you going to run it on?

About switching to ASSS.

Don't do it unless you meet these three requirements:
1.) You need it. This one is very important. Don't move if you want 1 feature it can offer.
2.) You can code. This is a must. You wont find anyone who will do it for you.
3.) Slightly insane. Self explanatory. Usually fufilled by #2.
4.) You have no population to speak of. I made the mistake of not knowing this, and switched while I had a regular population. Only now, 8 months later do I have a population close to what I lost.

If you meet those, you can *think* about moving to ASSS.

[i] Quoted from this thread.

Do you meet those three requirements?

I was obviously just quoting Brain's mistake (which he probably made on purpose).
Maybe there's a reason why I put a bold "three"?

I was saying he only had to meet three requirements because one of them was already met

Whoops. I might have done that on purpose, but it was so long ago that I don't remember.

Good quote though.

I just found out something. ASSS can't be on a biller unless it is an SSC biller.so, forget this question.

Grel fixed that a version or two ago. I forget exactly, because it didn't matter to me.

But it was fixed.

[..] so, forget this question.

So that means you're not going to switch to ASSS?

Wtf why did you make me type all that then.
