Universal Settings Questions


What are "Universal Settings," and how are they different from normal settings?
Universal settings differ from normal settings in one way: they apply to all games. These settings are universal to all games. Normal settings are specific to each game; that is, the settings can vary from game to game.

What does "What game should display.cgi use if the user does not specify one" do?
Just enter the game you want to use. Leave it blank to use the "Default" directory. This field also corresponds to what game should be used by add.cgi if you specified "Use the game in the field below" for the previous answer.


What is this IP banning stuff?
An IP Adress is the address given to a computer while connected to a network (or the Internet for our purposes). Most IP Addresses are dynamic, which means a person will get a new one each time he/she logs on to the Internet; however, these new IP addresses usually fall into a relatively small range. So, why would I ban an IP Address? Well, some people are just jerks and do their best to annoy you. Banning their IP Address will keep them out of your hair. Dynamic IP Addresses pose a problem because the IP Address always changes. The best solution is to ban a whole domain. That is, ban the IP using only the first 3 numbers (ex: 192.168.0 instead of 192.168.0.3).


What is Add-On Navigation?
Add-On Navigation is one aspect of how I have tried to integrate Add-Ons into the UHSD. It is simply a small piece of code that will be used to give access to any necessary external scripts an Add-On may have on the UHSD navigation screens. It's not too much to worry about if you're not designing Add-Ons.
