Here are some answers to basic questions that most people unfamiliar with each server usually have. More info can usually be found on the specific settings pages.

[hide]ASSS
I've added myself to the [(global)] section of staff.conf, but it doesn't set me as staff!
There are a number of things that could be happening here. Firstly if you were in the zone at the same time as you were editing staff.conf you should now re-enter. If you are not using a biller you must add a passwd.conf entry for your alias and make sure you have the module auth_file loaded. The easiest way to do this is to log in and type ?passwd <subspace login password>. You can then log out and back in.
How do I add LVZ files?
Add LVZ files through the same setting as in Server.cfg in your arena.conf:
[Misc]
LevelFiles=mylvz.lvz
Then add your lvzs to the maps/ directory located in the main ASSS directory. You can also add HLP files this way.
Where is my *arena?
With ASSS there is no distinction between ? and * commands. Since ?arena is hardcoded into the client (esc + a) and cannot be changed a compromise had to be made. Subgame style *arena and *zone are now ?a and ?z respectively. Alternatively you can load the sgcompat module which will restore the * style commands.
Subgame
What does the ss://some.dns mean in zone description?
This allows users who host on a dynamic IP address to have Continuum always find the server, even if it changes its location. A good service to use is DynDNS, No-IP. From there, you can create an address such as myzonename.game-server.cc or any of their other domains. Then, in your Server.ini file, under the Directory:Description, add ss://myzonename.game-server.cc to the end of your description. Then, whenever you get a new IP address and your DynDNS client updates, users can automatically find your new address and will see it online again, without having to search through the zone list.
