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 should the add.cgi script do if it is not told
what game was played" do?
Here are the options and
what they mean:
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.
