If you don't mind, I edited the FAQ and cleaned up all the serious spelling and grammar issues. Yes, I realize that English might not be your first language. Q- Is Blue Burst supported? A- No, don't ask about it. Q-Why doesn't PSO Plus/Episode 3 connect? A- Because PSO Plus and Episode 3 aren't like 1.0 and 1.1; 1.0 and 1.1 allowed users to connect to LAN IP's, but PSO Plus/Episode 3 has that patched. Q- How do I get these versions to connect now? A- There are two solutions: 1- Use an Action Replay code (if you need one made I'll make you one just post your server DNS/IP here) or you can generate one here. 2- Use my small tool that runs the server with no DNS and runs the Schthack antihack tool where you input your IP. Q- I got the tool, but when I run it I get a bind socket error. A- You need to disable ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) before you run this tool. Schthack's tool uses a port that is not available with ICS turned on. -If this is not the case please post your network setup here and errors; I'll look into it. Q- When I run the tool it loads, but I get a run time error. A- You need to have psoserver.exe and the antihack in the same folder as my exe. Q- Why doesn't Fuzziqer just fix this? A- This is not a bug in his server software. It's because of Sega's patch. Q- My server works but then no longer works after a few hours. A- This is something I can't really fix because it doesn't happen to me. Q- I'm getting the server maintenance issue still. A- Well there are odd things that you're probably having problems with as such. -Do you see malloc count_# when a user attempts a login? If so restart the server. -If you see DNS queries on the psoserver.exe, that means the antihack is not running or is disabled. Q- I made a server and only I can connect. Why is this? By the way my IP address is 192.168.1.100. A- You are using a LAN IP! Use your WAN IP (find it at whatismyip.com) Q- I did what you said above and still can't connect! -You need to foward the ports 9000, 9001, 9003, 9100, 9103, 9200, 9201, 9203, 9115, 9125, and 9135 as well as 53 Q- How can I tell if my ports are open? A-Go to www.canyouseeme.org and enter the port you want to check. Q- How do I get my GameCube to connect to my server? A- Using an Action Replay code or... -Going to Options -> Network Option. Then edit blah blah till you get to the DNS and choose "Use other DNS" and type your IP in those 2 boxes and then click next and save. Q- My friend's guild card number is -1. A- That's nothing. Don't worry about it, it has to do with the first number or your serial. Q- I experience lag in lobbies, etc. A- This could be either the internet connection of your GC or the server's connection to you, or last but not least the amount of people on the server. Q- What versions are supported? A- Gamecube is the least buggiest, PC is being worked on, and DC may be added in the near future. BB is NOT supported. Q- Is this server legal? A- Yes, it is legal. Q- How do I make quests? A- You can't make a quest easily, but Soulja did make a tool to edit quests which can be found on his website. Q- What are the commands of the server? A- DEBUGGING COMMANDS $rc - displays your CommandReceive count. Do this every once in a while. If the number it gives you isn't 1, then something's screwed up, and you should disconnect. $lobby - reloads your lobby. This almost never is needed anymore, but occasionally a lobby will just get screwed up (especially if you've been there for a while). If something's not quite right in the lobby, use this command. $save - save your data (only works when you're in the lobby) Game commands You must be the team leader to use $lock, $unlock, $hack, and $cheat. $lock <password> - lock your game with password Example: $lock 123abc $unlock - remove your game's password $ss - show server statistics $hack - enable/disable hack protection (enabled my default) Hack protection can also be enabled/disabled for entire lobbies, but you must be an administrator to do that. $cheat - enable/disable cheat mode (disabled by default) $p2 - warp to Pioneer 2 (cheat mode must be enabled) $warp <number> - warp to a specific area (cheat mode must be enabled) $hpp - regain 255 HP (cheat mode must be enabled) $tpp - regain 255 TP (cheat mode must be enabled) Information/message commands $li - show lobby or game information $ann <message> - announce message to everyone (moderator or higher) Example: $ann This server will be taken down soon. Lobby commands $lp <number> - instantly warp to lobby <number> <number> can also be a CARD lobby if you are using Episode 3. Example: $lp c2 Example: $lp 15 $lm <number> - set your lobby marker color (see lobby marker color list) $login - go back to the Login Server (same as using Change Block) Moderation commands: you must be a moderator or higher to use these commands. $priv <level> <name or guild card number> - set player's priveleges You must be an administrator or higher to use this command. Privelege levels are as follows: 0 - restricted (unused) 1 - normal user 2 - moderator 3 - administrator 4 - creator You can't set anyone higher or equal to your own level; i.e. an admin can't set other players as admins. Example: $priv 2 Kohle $gethl <name or guild card number> - get player's license information $stfu <name or guild card number> - make player unable to chat $kick <name or guild card number> - kick player off server $ban <name or guild card number> - ban player from server $unban <guild card number> - unban player from server $ipban <name, guild card number, or IP> - ban player's IP address from server $ipunban <IP> - unban IP address from server $rangeban <IP>-<IP> - ban IP range from server $rangeunban <IP>-<IP> - unban IP range from server $dau - disconnect all users You must be a Creator to use this command. Lobby customization commands: you must be an admin or higher to use these commands. $ln <type> - change lobby type $le <event> - change lobby event $lea <event> - change all lobby events $lc - clear lobby effects $lca - clear all lobby effect Q-Do I get download quests on my server? A-Yes, they were added in 1.5 but are now enabled by default for everyone in 1.7. Q-Why can't I chat in color on GC using $C#? A-Because GC doesn't allow colored chat. PC on the other hand does (GC has colors only on some things, not on all. For example, the ship name color, etc.) Q-Is this the only publicly released GC server software? A-Yes, this is the first and only, so far. (besides Myria's leaked server) Q Who is the coolest person here? A- Hikaru You can download my tool to connecting with PSO Plus here. Thank you, I hope this helped you guys.

Q-Why doesn't PSO Plus/Episode 3 connect? A- Because PSO Plus and Episode 3 aren't like 1.0 and 1.1; 1.0 and 1.1 allowed users to connect to LAN IP's, but PSO Plus/Episode 3 has that patched. Addition: If you have not gone onto Sega's servers before then the game will not be patched and you will be able to connect. If you have been to SEGA's server i believe (not sure, can someone -*test*-('") this please) you have to delete the system file to get rid of the patch.

tota yea i shold have fixed it up earlier i was kinda tired when i typed half of it and coom the patch is on the disc not on the system file

So basicly your app just runs the server with the -d flag and then anti hack along with it? It would just be easier to do that then get your app working, having troubles with it :( tried running server with -d flag, couldn't connect, like i thought.. then i put up antihack with my ip in it, then started the server with the -d flag again, and it just took me to schthack..??
