This is a guide for setting up a fserve in order to share your files in#0secVCD-SVCD
1. Get and unzip the script
http://invision.lebyte.com/ <=== IS THE OFFICIAL INVISION HOME PAGE .
If
the download links on the Invision site do now work try #invision on dalnet
Unzip the zip file
to some place on your HD, for example to C:\. It will create a subfolder
called
Invision2. Never install
an IRC script into a folder that contains spaces in its name. For example
don't
install your IRC script
into the "Program Files" folder, or some features will not work properly.
2. Start it up
Now you can run
mIRC32.exe in your install dir
At this point you
can import your settings from a previous IRC installation, if you want
to:
3. General mIRC options
You should know that
there are two main places where you can configure stuff in Invision. The
first
place is in the mIRC
File > Options menu, and the second place is in Invision's menu.
As far as the server
is concerned .. select Random Dalnet server .. or scroll down to select
a specific
dalnet server.(if
in the US duh ... select a US dalnet server like Liberty, Wombat ,Astro..whatever..
But it SHOULD be a
dalnet server)
Enter the mIRC options,
go to the Connect section. All the options here are obvious, so fill them
in.
Here is an example
:
Now go to the DCC section, and set everything like this :
You should take a look at the other mIRC options, but these are the only ones that absolutely need.
Now you can click the
connect button, then type /join #0secVCD-SVCD
4. Setup the fserve
Now you need to setup
your file server. For this you have to enter the "File Server Manager"
in the
Invision menu.
Set the number of
sends to 1 if you have a 15k upload cap, or higher in your bandwidth allows
you to.
Set the maximum number
of queues to whatever you want (5 to 10 should be fine for a 15k upload).
Set the ad delay to
between 5 and 10 minutes
Check the "Enable
on start" checkbox.
In the MOTD box, type
any nice message you want.
Please always try
to use ctcp triggers only.
In the "Advertising
channels" tab, uncheck "All channels" and add #0secVCD-SVCD
Your settings should
look like this :
Now enter the
"Triggers" tab.
Check "Enable #1".
Enter anything you
want as the trigger.
Choose the root directory.
It's the directory where people will be able to browse and download files
from you.
You can repeat this
for the other triggers if you want to share more directories.
This tab should look like this now :
5. Start it up !
Now everything should
be fine. Right click in a channel window, and click Server Controls > File
Server
> Start now. Your
fserve's ad should be displayed, similar to this:
[7:01pm] <Joe_blow>File

! Now have someone test it for you. If all is fine welcome to the world
of serving in #0secVCD-SVCD Distro access will come to you soon :)
