Server application overview

By default, the Shockwave Multiuser Server is included as part of the Macromedia Director 8.5 installation and can be found in the Director folder. The installation creates a folder that contains the following items:

The server application

A Multiuser.cfg file, which contains parameters you can set in order to control certain aspects of the server's behavior

An example Movie.cfg file, which can be used to set server parameters differently for specific movies

A ReadMe file that directs you to online resources and release notes

A folder called DBObjectFiles, which the server uses to store object databases that can be created and modified by multiuser movies at run time

An Xtras folder containing server Xtras, separate files containing software code that extends the server's functionality

A scripts folder containing script files that enable server-side scripting

Three DLLs: C4dll.dll, Iml32.dll, and Msvcrt.dll (Windows only)

Two code libraries, called MacromediaRuntimeLib and ImlLib (Macintosh only)
