Server Help

[Guest]

Well I want to enable ?help <help msg here> and I noticed Hypersapce did that. On wiki it says its not possible and seems that HS swapped ?help/?man so how can I do this with my zone?

[Chambahs]

i believe the reason is because HS has SSC billing, but maybe im wrong.

You'll have to edit the source and recompile like I did. If you don't feel up to it, I can post a patch file that you can apply.

[Guest]

that would be very nice if you did that brain, I use the .3(latest) lunix version of as3

[Smong]

Does it add an AlertCommands setting to global.conf so things like ?host can go in there?

[BDwinsAlt]

I actually made a ?host/?ask/?alert command module but changing ?help is a good idea. Players are used to it. W/e works.

[Guest]

can you upload it please brain?
