How To Install & Setup VLE Quickly - Make sure you have the VCO server software, which can be downloaded from http://www.vc-o.com/
- Download VLE, the download link is in the downloads page.
If you are given the option to Open, Save or Run the file, click Save and save it anywhere on your computer. - When the download is complete, extract the files in the .zip folder to anywhere on your computer.
- Delete the 'Main.lua' file, which is in the same folder as the 'Server.exe' file.
- Copy the 'Main.lua' file, 'VLE Extensions' folder and 'VLE Files' folder, then paste them into the same folder as your 'Server.exe' file.
- Open the 'Main.lua' file with Notepad.
- Look for the line: setServerName("SERVER_NAME_HERE")
Replace SERVER_NAME_HERE with your server name.
If your server name contains quotation marks, you will need to put a backslash (\) before each one you use.
For example, if I wanted my server name to be: Testing Server!
I would put: setServerName("Testing Server!") - Look for the line: setModeName("MODE_NAME_HERE")
Replace MODE_NAME_HERE with your mode name.
Like the server name, if your mode name contains quotation marks, you will need to put a backslash (\) before each one you use.
For example, if I wanted my mode name to be: ThE "bEsT"
I would put: setModeName("ThE \"bEsT\"") - Look for the line: setMaxPlayers(100)
This is the maximum amount of players that are allowed in your server at any time.
You can change the 100 to any whole number between 1 and 100 if you wish.
Don't put quotation marks around the amount.
For example, if I wanted 5 to be the max players allowed in my server,
I would put: setMaxPlayers(5) - Look for the line: --setServerPassword("SERVER_PASSWORD_HERE")
If you have a password on your server, it will only allow players who type that password to connect to your server.
If you don't want a password on your server, just leave this line as it is, the 2 hyphens in front of the line tell LUA to ignore setting a server password.
If you do want a password on your server,
Remove the 2 hyphens in front of the line.
Then replace SERVER_PASSWORD_HERE with the password you want others to type before connecting to your server.
Like the mode name, if your server password contains quotation marks, you will need to put a backslash (\) before each one you use.
For example, if I wanted my server password to be: guessme7
I would put: setServerPassword("guessme7") - Look for the line: setServerPort(7777)
7777 is the default port used for connections on your server, it's fine to leave this as it is.
Don't put quotation marks around the port number.
For example, if I wanted my server to run connections on port: 48246
I would put: setServerPort(48246) - Look for the line: announce(true)
If you want your server to be listed in the server browser, leave this line as it is. (Chances are you won't see your server in the 'Servers' tab, but others should.)
If you don't want your server listed in the VCO server browser, change the line to: announce(false)
Don't put quotation marks around true or false - Save the file.
- Run the 'Server.exe' file.
- Open the VCO Server Browser.
Click on the 'Favourite Servers' tab.
Click on the white plus button which has a green background.
Type 127.0.0.1 into the IP textbox, and 7777 into the port textbox. Change 7777 to the port you chose in step 7) e)
Press the 'OK' button. - Connect to (double click) your server, which should now be listed in your 'Favourite Servers' tab.
- When VCO has loaded, register by typing: /register YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE
Ofcourse change YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE to a password of your choice. - Type: /makemeadmin
