Title: *^$%@!#*&^%#!~~!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: Hexx on November 16, 2004, 05:05:50 pm
OK KCW has run into a teeny problem

I'm kinda slow.

I dl'd all the crap (server kit, shiplist etc etc) that Bonk was kind enoguh to provide in the other thread.
I even installed it.
I EVEN managed to figure out that to get the mapthingy to wotk I had to change the pull down tab to select MVM files.

Now I'm kinda confused.
Isn't (or wasn't) there a "Dummies Guide to Running a Server" floating around some time ago?

I've got the rules done.
(I Like writing rules..
Rule #1. Thou Shalt not kill Hexx)
and will be sending them out shortly for feedback from the biggest whiners of our community to give me a preview of what people will say.

But stuff like how ( I don't really care about "why") the map works, etc etc is something I'd like to know.

Any helpful pointers?

Hmmm

After trying to decipher everything I'm not sure if I understand more..or less.

But Thanks!
(I think)

Think of the serverkit as a "black box" exercise in trial and error. The gfs are undocumented and arcane... some have an effect others do not, some will crash the kit some will not, some will only crash the kit at certain times... none of which is documented. If you have a gf error, the kit will not tell you which one, only that you have an error, you have to find it (thus start from stock and change only one setting at a time and run it for a while to see if it has the desired effect and does not destabilise the kit).

Feel free to send me e-mails with questions.  If I can figure it out anyone can.
