The server still doesn't support file commenting. Instead I choose to display int the comment box the information the old bot would have returned when issued the getfileinfo command
The accounts and news are saved periodically when necessary, you can also save them manually by using the popup menu
You can create a default admin account by using right clicking on any node of the tree in the account panel and choose “create admin account”
Use the hotline client to create other accounts then default admin account
You should be able to copy and paste from the panels using the normal ctrl+c and ctrl+v buttons
You cannot create normal account in the account panel, for that you can simply use the client
Using the word “temporary” for a reason in the banned ip list will cause that entry to be automatically removed on the next restart
Timeout can happen if things get busy on the server because the server will try to keep the bandwidth as high as possible and might sometime delay responding to the “ping” message from the client. Timeout are harmless beside the annoying popup window in the client
If you want an agreement for your server simply put a file name “Agreement.txt” (case sensitive) in the server root. Please note that the Agreement.txt must be save with a carriage return character only (ASCII decimal character 13, Mac OS type new line) otherwise square box will appear in the client in place of the new lines. However, most text editor gives you the flexibility to save with different new line characters.
The server only supports client based on the hotline protocol >= 1.5.1, many clients which are not developed actively anymore and do not support the latest protocol will not work properly with the server e.g. PitBull, Heidrun, etc... However, the official hotline client will work without any problems
The server will only listen to the one ip listed in the preference panel not to any other ip available on your system, i.e. 127.0.0.1
To get the icons to show up in the server put the hotline.dat from the hotline client, or use any 3rd party icon library and rename the file to hotline.dat, into the main application folder
