// VCGuard Final v12.1 BETA by Brchi

// !!! EXPERIMENTAL TOOL !!!

// www.TheArchiFamily.com

// Contact: admin@thearchifamily.com

// Also visit www.Vietcong.info





// DESCRIPTION

// DOESN'T (cannot) work against all cheats!

// Many bug/crash-fixes and added features.

// To send a command by an external program,

// send IDOK to the focused edit box (equaling enter).



// INSTALL

// Put all files into the Vietcong directory.

// (At least this file, dpnhpast, msvcp120 and msvcr120).

// Better not use any modded dlls or exes.

// Modify the options below to your needs.

// Start the server normally by the original vcded.exe (Can be renamed).

// It will load dpnhpast.dll, which is the vcguard program.

// Only for Vietcong v1.6, Win XP and newer, 32/64.



// ATTENTION

// Don't set a server password when starting up, set it afterwards or the server won't start up.

// Doesn't work with HradBa, so keep it disabled.



// USAGE

// Commands are entered either into the server console (editbox) or via ingame chat (not the F12 ingame console!).

// They always begin with a dot (.command). Some options can be changed by commands. Use the .help command to list them.

// If you want to use the .slots command, be sure to set max. players to 64 in launcher/dedfile.

// Don't modify the banlist/rangelist.txt files while the server is running. Instead, use the proper commands to modify.

// Playerlist columns can be sorted.



// TIPS

// Set the loopsleep option to gain about 100 Server FPS (9ms for example), causes less cpu usage and the gaming performance is still fine.

// There is a "ctf schedule", means respawn time according to number of players. Check the sample file schedules\aztec32.sch.

// For every line: Left (number of players), Right (respawn time in seconds). If respawn time empty, use previous value.

// The .sch file must contain at least as many player numbers (lines) as there are player slots!

// Several logs are created in the logs\ directory: banlog, shutdown, connections, cmdlog, crashlog, udplog, blocked, dbglog1, noguilog.

// cmdlog/dbglog1 is just for testing, crash/udplog can be useful to fix crashes and blocked.txt logs blocked network attacks.

// If nogui-mode is enabled, errors are logged to noguilog.txt instead of showing message boxes.



// OPTIONS

// Don't remove any options, don't change their names. Don't remove any parameters, just change them!



// MACROS

// Macros (sequence of commands, see example macros\mapchange.txt) can be executed by ".macro Filename Time Interval Repeat" command (File extension can be omitted).

// There are four possible variations:

// .macro Filename

// .macro Filename Time

// .macro Filename Interval Repeat

// .macro Filename Time Interval Repeat

// Filename: don't use spaces. Time: local, 24h format hh:mm. Interval: seconds (1 to 86400). Repeat: count (1 to 86400 or INF (infinite)) (Repeat 1 = executed 2x in total).

// You can use any ptero or vcguard command in the macro file, line by line. There are two special commands: SLEEP X (seconds) and SILENT (don't show executed commands in console).

// Example: .macro srvmsg 60 INF (Executes the macro macros\srvmsg.txt every 60 seconds in an infinite loop).

// Example: .macro mapchange 15:00 (Executes the macro macros\mapchange.txt once at 15:00 local time).

// Use .macrolist and .macrostop to control executions.



// UPDATE 10.1

// Added new commands: addban, addrange, banrange,

// unbanrange, rangelist, clearbans, clearranges.

// (Better not ban too many ranges, you can use the

// connections log to check how common a range is)

// Some fixes.



// UPDATE 10.2

// Added country to playerlist/banlist and some logs (Download ip2nation.sql from www.ip2nation.com and put it into the Vietcong directory).

// Added "nogui"-mode to create a log (noguilog.txt) instead of showing message boxes on errors (Create an empty nogui.txt file to activate this).

// Added close prompt to avoid accidental closing.

// Added buttons to copy name/ip of selected player.

// Improved playerlist sorting/update performance.

// (No new options added here. You can use the old ini file)



// No description available for later updates, sorry





// THE FOLLOWING ARE PRESET OPTIONS WITH DESCRIPTION. YOU REALLY SHOULD CUSTOMIZE THESE TO FIT YOUR NEEDS!



title = SERVER-WINDOW-TITLE      // Server window title (not server name) to distinguish between multiple servers



// Multiline join message, begin a new line with §, leave all empty behind = to disable and show normal message.

// Works only if the normal join message is not empty, set it to 'dummy123' or something, it will be overwritten by this:



joinmsg = Your join message here § new line
