> ADDITIONAL INFORMATION / PROBLEM SOLUTIONS:

- Don't forget to setup your router/firewall!
read: www.cs2d.com/faq for details!

- You don't have to upload the whole CS2D folder if you
want to run the dedicated server on a server!
The dedicated server does not need the files in the
"gfx" and "sfx" folders. However if you want to allow
maptransfer you have to upload all media files which are
used in maps you run on your server. Otherwise maptransfer
is not going to work properly.

- Use CS2D to setup your server settings as you like.
Also have a look at "options" -> "more"! All settings are
saved in the "sys" folder. The dedicated server works
exactly like the regular cs2d game client. Both use the
same configuration files.

- Write all maps you want to use on your server to the
file "sys\mapcycle.cfg"!

- You probably have to install the "libstdc++" library on
Linux systems in order to run "cs2d_dedicated"!

- Read the logfiles in "sys\logs" if you have problems
with your dedicated server ("debuglog" has to be "1")
