From the sound of what you talked about with lean in chat, you have the dedicated server executable file and you can run it? When you open it, I assume it launches a command prompt, which you should be able to type commands into.

The files for it are probably either in your program files or appdata. There you'll find settings files and whatnot. You probably need to create your own server_info.cfg and settings_custom.cfg files to use so you don't have your settings overwritten on a server update or something.

You can use some settings from my basic server setup file to get auths and whatnot working.

Side Note: You are going to need to forward the server port. If you left it as default, it should be 4534. It'll need forwarded to your internal IP address under UDP. Also, make sure your internal address is static.

Static IP Guide: http://portforward.com/networking/staticip.htm

You can also find guides for forwarding ports on your router there if you happen to need it. For anything else, or file locations or anything, check the wiki. It's all listed there if I remember correctly.

Title and post ask two different things.

To host servers, download armagetron dedicated server.

To ad help topics in already created servers ADD_HELP_TOPIC TOPIC "TOPIC DESCRIPTION" WHAT YOU WANT IT TO SAY"
Eg ADD_HELP_TOPIC Grind "How To Grind" "Get close to other players walls to go faster"

Yes, I got that, but if he knew "help" on attempt two, then why wouldn't he realise attempt one isn't the same question... or vice versa?

Unless you're implying that he thinks "hosting" is a "synonym" for "help".
I see it like this:
New server host needs help!!
How do I add help topics?
Please help
(translated by bing)

Maybe it's just me :)

"someone who knows how to create"
"help me please i need urgent :cry: :? :)"

Does that help you? He wants help creating a setup for hosting servers, such as Lightron or Rx with a whole control panel and all. He also wants this done on Windows, as he doesn't have a Linux installation.

Let's at least keep it on topic, even though I highly doubt someone is going to be willing to help further than what I've given, besides giving direct links to the wiki pages or something if he's unwilling to find them himself.

You can also see him talking in chat on my site if that helps you understand a little.
