First, make your help file. You said you used wordpad, but I'm assuming that means you made your text colors using wordpad's toolbar buttons. To change colors you need to use a %Y for yellow, %G for green, %B, %P, %W, blue, purple, white, etc. and I'd recommend you make your commands.hlp file in NOTEPAD, not wordpad, so that you don't end up using the toolbar color buttons. Wordpad adds extra formatting.

Then you need to get the LVZ toolkit.
Once you've done that, make a .ini file and put
Code: Show/Hide

outfile=commands.lvz

[Files]
File=commands.hlp


Then run buildlevel.exe and choose the ini file.

There should be a file named command.lvz in the directory.
Copy that file to your main server directory (if needed) and then, in your SERVER.CFG file go to the [Misc] section. Add an entry:
Code: Show/Hide

LevelFiles=commands.lvz

You actually don't need to put it in lvz, since it is so small. I had mine just in there a while, until I made multiple help files, and had to distinguish between them.
