	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 [http://www.dyndns.org/ DynDNS], [http://www.no-ip.com No-IP]. From there, you can create an address such as myzonename.game-server.cc or any of their other [http://www.dyndns.org/services/dyndns/domains.html 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.

			=== 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]]:
			<pre>
			[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.
