User Manual [Server]
Visit the "profile" directory in the Charl package. This is where all the properties for your server are stored. You will need to configure them before starting the server, as using the default values would be insecure.
Open the "config.txt" file. There are four properties to set. These properties can be replaced or left alone depending on your needs, but in the same format they exist by default.
port=1400
port = 1700
port= 900
port=pancake
Open "locks.txt". There will be some examples of the format to follow in the file, but in case yours is missing, use the format
7=password
where 7 is the channel number to lock and "password" is the password for that channel. Create channel locks for private conversation. You can lock a channel at any time by simply editing the file, but if someone is already in the channel it will not kick them.
Venture into the "users" folder. This is probably the most important part. Open the file called "admin.txt" and set the password to something other than "password". Please do this.
If you plan to make your server available to people who aren't on your network, you must forward the port your Charl server listens to on your router or modem.
If you don't elegantly shut down the server (with a "/stop" command from an admin account), it will hold onto the port on linux systems (though Windows and OSX appear to reclaim the port automatically).
