- 1.1
- ------
-
- About- wIRCd advanced was coded by ^RavenX^, I can be found on the DALnet IRC Network in
- the #wIRCd channel. This project was started to provide users with an easy to use GUI
- and to 'newbies' with more information and help on starting out.

- License Information:
-
- wIRCd Advanced is provided free of charge, it's freeware and may be used by anyone.
- We are not liable for any damage caused by it (there shouldnt be any) but we must say that.
- This is NOT a wircd, it's simply an addon which uses existing wircds, so this is NOT
- under the GNU license, however the wircds it uses are, if you want the source for these then
- email me at wircda@Bellsouth.net or find me on IRC.
-
- For no reason will the source be released to anyone, and also for no reason shall this
- program be charged for by anyone other than the coder, Russell Pope. this program shall
- not be altered, or changed in any ways without permission from the coder.
-
- the wIRCd.data file and wircd.info files may be modified, but any damage done is your
- fault.

- 1.3
- ------
-
- background:
-
- Anyone who has used an old wircd such as DALnet 4.6.7 knows how 'basic' the GUI
- (Graphical User Interface) was, it's a simple white window - this solves that, it takes
- wircd.data files
- (see 2.2 Using a wircd other than whats provided & 2.3 Whats wIRCd Data File Maker?)
- and gives the existing wircd a whole new, better GUI window made just for the win32 platform
- and also adds extra things such as easier config editing.
-
- At this time, this program will not work with wircd2000 Or Elite 2.* because they
- have a splash screen, if you want this changed then bug Dark-Prince to make a version
- for this and i'll change it over to .data format.
-
- ------
- 2.1
- ------
-
- General Use:
-
- This is a Windows IRC Server, it comes with DALnet's wIRCd version 4.6.7 Hub, although
- this is what comes with it, this can easly be changed as there are 7 other IRCds compatable
- with this, they can be gotten by clicking the
- 'Click here if you would like to download a new data file such as Elite, or Unreal' button
- in the wircd advanced window.
-
- Config file:
- You can edit this by clicking the Config file button, at this time this program does not
- support rehash, you will have to /rehash the server from your IRC Client.
-
- Message of the day (MOTD):
- This can be changed by clicking the MOTD File button, this is updated automatically, no
- rehash is needed for motd changes.
-
- Tray:
-
- right now, because of a windows bug the tray feature does not work right, however what it
- does is places a button above the start button in windows 9x, and removes it from the task
- bar - this will be fixed soon.
-
- ------
- 2.2
- ------
-
- Using an IRCd other than whats provided:
-
- this is actually simple.. this program uses .data files, all they are is wircds renamed
- from wircd.exe to wircd.data, if you make one you'll also need a wircd.info file,
- this is just a text file with one line like:
-
- DALnet v. 4.67 Ported by ^RavenX^ @ DALnet www.dal.net
-
- and so on.
- To make the .data use the program included to make it.
- (See 2.3)
-
- ------
- 2.3
- ------
-
- Whats wIRCd Data File Maker?
-
- This is a simple tool used to make .data files from the wircd.exe file
- simply place this in with a wircd.exe file and run it, and it will make a .data file,
- once done make a wircd.info file, which is a text file and include a 1 line
- description of the wircd, like:
-
- DALnet v. 4.67 Ported by ^RavenX^ @ DALnet www.dal.net
-
- And so on, anything will do.
- then simply copy the wircd.info and wircd.data files in with wIRCd Advanced.
-
- ------
- 2.4
- ------
- Whats the 'server' bot I see connecting, and rehashing my server?
-
- This is a bot which handles basic server needs such as when you click
- the rehash button, this bot is needed and must be able to /oper..
- If you make a new config file, please remeber to re-add it's O: line
- by clicking the bot menu, and selecting 'Re add IRCops'.
