For anyone that wants to host on fxs1.3.10beta, heres the setup
it will connect using ws2_32dll
Unlike previous versions of FXServer, there is not a 'hosts' file, there is now three ways to connect your FXServer,
1. Connection through your WinMX on it’s Primary connection, (please note: if you close connection of Winmx, the FXServer will loose connection also)
2. Connect through Cache IP’s that you add directly to your config, you may add up to ten IP’s, this is explained lower down in the options and on the config.
3. Connect through the ws2_32DLL 3rd party connection patch, do not add the cache ip's in the relevent section in the config, pop the DLL in your FXS folder.
There is also a separate motd txt file as this you can add entry pictures to as they are with no need of \n or #newline# this makes the config less conjested and allows greater flexibility.
Click the icon to start your program, your firewall if you have one (you should for security) will ask for permission to allow the FXServer, click yes to allow full access (tick the remember this application if its available)
Each time you start the server, it will check for updates. Then the main screen will show.
The top Section is your user list, when you right click on a name in the user list you see options for adding or removing admin & access levels and changing formats.
The left screen shows the primaries that you are connected to, this is a suggested maximum of 3.
The main window is where you see all the commands including loading the config and general chat.
