| Setting up the client:
There are a couple of steps involved in setting up the Assasin 2.0 client. We will start with the most important one, FTP updater, as the servers won't connect to the client at all if this is not set up correctly.. You have to follow the following steps: Set up correct script file containing your IP and upload to FTP. Set a client side password which matches your servers. Configure client for your connection speed, Ping delay etc. Ftp updater: The ftp updater's purpose is to make life easier for you, it allows you to specify your IP address that you want the server(s) to connect to. Once your IP address has been specified, it will log into the FTP account that you will also have to specify and upload a settings file containing your IP and other important things. When the server(s) log on, they will look in this destination for the correct IP address to connect to. This way you don't have to worry if your IP changes, you only have to run an update with the Ftp updater. It is important that you configure the server to look in the correct destination for the settings file!!! For more details look at Configure server help file. The ftp updater looks like this when you launch it: This editor allows you to specify multiple hosts that contain settings/script files but usually you will only have one. To set up a new script, hit the left hand side folder icon - a window like this should pop up: Now you have to fill in the details for the script. If you are on a standard internet connection, you can quite safely hit "Get computers IP" for Assasin to automatically detect your IP address. If you are networked or behind a router, we recommend you get the IP address manually and enter it into the textbox yourself. Enter your ftp account address into "Host", the correct Port in "Port", and select weither you prefer Passive mode or not. Then just fill in your username and password, the directory of which you want to create the logfile and its filename. Note: It is VERY important that the correct destination of the logfile is specified in the server... The whole point of the setup is that the SERVER reads from this logfile that you create from the CLIENT. This is how it works: Server --> Settings file with IP --> IP in settings file (you with client running) When a PC with server installed logs on the internet, the server will download and check the settings from the URL that you specified in the edit server. The server will then extract your IP address and attempt to establish a connection with it. If successful you should see a user log in client side. If you fail to receive a connection (IP not adding to listview client side) - it is likely you haven't set up the client password correctly. Setting up the client password: In the client, go to Options -> Settings and then select the Passwords tab. You will now have to hit the Add Password icon and specify a password which matches the one you set the server up with. The following screenshot shows you this: Simply enter your password, and hit "Ok", The password is now added and you should be authenticated if the password matches the one in the server. General Client configuration: For general client setup, go to Options -> Settings and hit the options tab. The window looks like this: This is where you specify the general settings. The Ping time out options is very useful, generally the slower your connection, the higher the ping timeout should be. For the average Cable/DSL connection we recommend 15000-20000 Milliseconds as it has proven to work very well. The Minimize to system Tray option is useful if you want to save taskbar space. It will simply put the application in system tray if you choose to minimize the client.. No Notification, Use this option if you don't want the client to take any special actions if a user connects. One alternative is using Text To speech, this will notify you using a computer generated voice. Note: Only use text to speech if you have the package by microsoft installed. Sound On connect, if selected this will play a sound of your choice when a server connects to the client. Useful if you do not want to install Text To Speech by Microsoft. Calculate Packet Statistics: This will constantly monitor incoming and outgoing packet statistics, recommended for the advanced user. Notify MSN Style: This allows the client to pop up a MSN messenger like window when a server connects. Useful if you are waiting for a specific server to connect, but don't want to watch the client all the time. Back to help menu.
