The Server comes with an example Config file, edit this to your channels details before you open the server (you can type /reload in to the server, or from an admined client to reload the config later).
The Chat server also has the ability to load a config file from a web server, simply place a line at the top of the config file containing:
ConfigURL=
http://www.somewebsite.com/whatever/config.ini
The Chat server will then connect to the web server and load the config file from there instead, if it fails to get the config file then it will continue with the rest of the config.ini file instead. For Security reasons its recomended that you use a server side script (such as php or ASP) to restrict access to this file as it will of course contain all your passwords, you should also not tell too many people the URL
The Config file has 2 sections:
[STARTUP]
This section contains any commands that you wish to be entered in to the server on startup (to save re-typing them)
/clearpasswords
/addpassword password1
/addpassword password2
/addpassword password3
.......
This part sets the Admin passwords, you can have as many admin passwords as you want
/setmotd Welcome to the room!
/topic Welcome to (room name here )
/setwelcome /opmsg $HOSTNAME$
/setchannelname ! ( Your room name here)
/setlog TheLogs
This part sets the other stuff, like MOTD, Topic, Welcome Message, and Channel Name
You can use /setchannelname2 to set a second channel name so that the server appears on the channel list twice if you want.
You can actually put ANY command you want in here and it will be executed as if it was entered directly in to the server.
[CONFIG]
This sets the other configuration options for the channel.
Users=0
This sets the number of users to show on the channel list, leave at to 0 to show the correct user count. To prevent abuse of this feature, 200 is the highest it can be set to
TextFormat=#c2#<$NAME$#c2#> #c1#$TEXT$
This allows you to change the way text is displayed to 3.53 users
TextFormatAdmin=#c36#<#c2#$NAME$#c36#> #c1#$TEXT$
Same as above, but for text typed by admins
Text Formatting can cause problems for some bots, to get past this simply type
"/bot" in to the bot
Replace=microsoft=Microshaft©®
This Replaces the word "microsoft" with "Microshaft©®" - These can be lots of fun if you take the time to set them up
The name decided on is now MCS ,this is version 0.2.1.
