Server Configuration Faq

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.

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. 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.
