First, I think things are pretty stable now. Even internal interfaces.

What I think would be most helpful right now is a FAQ. I don't have time to put one together, but if someone wants to make an initial effort, I can put it up on the official site. I'll even write answers to the questions.. you'll just have to collect a bunch of popular questions.

Oh, by the way, I added a changelog to my site. I'll try to remember to keep it up to date.

I forgot to try to answer the original question:

make sure "directory" is present (and uncommented) in modules.conf, and make sure the [Directory] section exists in global.conf, with settings "Name" and "Description", and some servers, "Server1", "Server2", etc.

I answered this in my post on sunday night:

^-^ looks all greek... i.e. not user friendly... need to get it stable, then make it user friendly; then people will use it.

; keep up the work though

Smong · Posted: Thu Apr 22, 2004 12:12 pm Post subject:

You think linux should be user friendly? If you think you need a module but don't know which one, you can grep the src for it, then double check the Makefile to see if it is in a shared lib.

Maybe someone could write some kind of document that states what the server can and can't do (so if the newbs get hold of this software they don't ask silly questions). For example anything that the player sees (then list exceptions, like toggling lvz).

CypherJF · Posted: Thu Apr 22, 2004 3:48 pm Post subject:

I don't use linux, nor do I plan to in any time soon. So, what I am referring to is the Windows compile.

Cyan~Fire · Posted: Thu Apr 22, 2004 6:13 pm Post subject:

The Windows compile is for noobs.

Linux is the only server OS. (I just happen to use Win2000 for the noobs

)

Cypher, you seem to have some VB skills, why not try and make an asss zone manager for the windows build? Stuff like easy edit name, decription, port that sort of thing in a GUI. Drag and drop add map, blah blah.
