As for startup cash, that will be explained, as well as how to change other new player options, in the next tutorial. You have to edit the mpnewchar.fl file. I will explain how to do this in the next tutorial.
ah, ok, if I used the full install from July, it's update 6, I should be good then.
Thanks Kelly for your tutorials, I really appreciate them.
I am getting an error right now when I try to launch the server, but I am getting to tired to troubleshoot tonight lol
FLHook says: ERROR: Time lag detect seconds=1.110756 ticks_delta=3976001
The Time lag appears on the flhook console if your running the game on the same machine as the server, normal it is suggested you run the server off a seperate computer.
I would not worry about it to much tho unless your server is really lagging
The FLHook console must remain open while the server is up and running. this is the local console and will accept any of the in-game .commands without the leading dot. Example setadmin playername msg . This would give the player named the right to the message commands. And also the beam/kill commands as well, although I haven't figured out why.
Also, Starworlds is correct about the Time lapse error. It just does that. I wouldn't worry about it.
kk, I have it up and running. One last question. How do I make sure that it doesn't wipe characters for inactivity? Server wipes drive me crazy, it's why I ended up getting my own.

This will be covered in a tutorial, but there's a lot to cover first, so I'll go ahead and tell you how here.
Call up DSAccountManager. Once it's up, Click on File -> Properties. On the Tab Page 1, you will see some check boxes. One is labeled "Automatically remove inactive characters". Make sure that box is unchecked. Once this is done, click Save and then you can exit the DSAccountManager.
