user manual

oh figured I'd post some info on how to use teh damned thing

server:
start server, dbl click the listen box

client
enter a good username and enter the ip address of the server, 127.0.0.1 if the server's on your computer - these are assigned the values in your config file by default
click connect

select a character from the list of local characters and click add, it'll dump it on the screen, click the map to move it around

you can remove a character the same way, by clicking it on the map, the list of global users, or the slots across the bottom

admin type stuff... die rolls are simply d20~ or d12~, whatever the die you need, you can do multiples by adding more dice, d20~+d10~ or d20~ I'm gonna kill ya with a d10~, anything like that. these can be typed in manually, assigned config buttons, or changed on the fly in the dynamic boxes

~backpic~skin.jpg~image.jpg~|
this changes the current map to image.jpg. skin.jpg currently nonfunctional, this would be the image that hides portions of the map. for now, do it like a slideshow.

~update~audio~play~music.mp3~|
plays the mp3 named music.mp3
can be typed on the fly or hotbuttoned of course

finally emote
\ does something cool.
\ username sits down.

will add a code to insert the name of the selected character at some point.

Quick question: When playing a sound file, does the GM hear it as well as the others or is just the players who hear the file?

Thanks!
