First off, I gotta say I'm impressed. Everything seems to work like it should on my Win2000 box.
Ther server web interface will overwrite some of your custom server.ini settings. These settings are ServerPassword and ServerFlags. There could be more, I don't know. Just assume if the setting is not in the web page, the server.ini file will be reset if you change it on the web.
ServerFlags setting:
0= no register, no create channel; 1= can register, no create channel; 2= all can create channels; 3= all can register/all can create channels
Remember that you must edit this in the server.ini file itself.
ServerPassword seems to be the primary password to enter the server. If someone has an account, they wont need this password, even if it changes. To login unregistered, you enter the server password in the Password field and leave the Login field blank. You can still pick your own nickname.
I've composed a step-by-step process for registering on a password protected server:
Click Connection menu
Select Quick Connect
Server Address field: IP Address of server
Nickname use your in-game name (ie "Fuze")
Leave the Login Name (optional) field blank
Password field: server password
Click Connect
Once you are logged in:
Click Self
Right-Click on Servers
Select Register with server
In the Login Name field, enter your in-game name
In the Password field, enter in your own private password (not the server password)
Enter your private password into the next field to verify you typed it in right.
Click Register You should now have (R) beside your name. If you do, you are now registered. This means that you have a permanant account and no longer need to enter in the server password. Parent Room passwords are another matter. I'll explain them later.
To make a saved profile, logout then:
Click Connection
Click Connect
Right-Click on Servers
Select Add Server
Label field: Type in a name for the server, it can be any name you like
Server Address field: 68.58.40.94
Nickname can be whatever you want it to be (ie "FuZe BDO")
Make sure you have the Registered option checked.
Login Name field: use your in-game handle that you registered with
Password field: should be your own private password
Put a check in the Auto-Reconnect checkbox.
Leave the channel fields blank for now.
