To run? I was miking one at some point. Its mostly like SubGame.

Take a look at explody.ssihosting.com for ASSS 1.1.2 or at catid.sscentral.com for a newer version. The sort-of guide is at explody.sscentral.com

Are you looking for help setting it up, or writing extension modules? For the first, there's the user guide I wrote, which someone already provided a URL to. There's nothing much to help with the second yet, but I am working on more developer documentation. In the meantime looking at a few of the simple modules in the source might be helpful.

Aww man running a server is so boring. Why can't I just have 100 pop the instant I start running?

You know a large amount of the userguide is generated by a script to save the authors typing it? Although the stuff the script reads was written by hand at some point.

If you aren't willing to do something as simple as read through the guide, then you shouldn't be using asss. Hell, you shouldn't be running a server.

I learned how to run ASSS the same way I learned how to run subgame: trial and error. And there was a lot of error.

I don't understand why everyone is making such a big deal out of this. Yeah, the user guide is really long, but most of that is the command and settings reference, which there's no point in reading straight. Actually there's no point in reading it at all. Just get the server up and running (which just involves downloading it and running "bin/asss") and then use ?help, ?setg, and ?quickfix. The first 10 pages or so might be useful to understand the directory structure, capability system, etc.

I read it and dont even run it

Zing.

Trial by Fire is the absolute best way to do things, Obviously read the stuff to make sure its good and check it to see whats wrong, but if you dont just run it into the ground and figure out what happens, youll never truely understand how it works.

Promise me you'll never try to learn assembler

That's how I've been trying to learn assembler

trial by error is cool, but if you have a good manual it's not going to hurt to read it first (or during)
