How to set up a room with Ouka Chat Server 4.xx Versions



This Tutorial is for the older versions of the Ouka Chat Server, there is a newer series, 5.xx Versions which you can find instructions for here Ouka Chat Server Version 5.xx Instructions
First you will need to unzip the program. Extract all files to C:\Program Files\Ouka. The program is written in Japanese but don't panic it's soon fixed.

When you've unzipped it go to the folder and move the ChatServer.exe file into the English_txt folder. Now it will work in English. After you have moved the file, you can make a shortcut from the ChatServer.exe file to the desktop, by right clicking the ChatServer.exe and choosing Send to.. The Desktop (create shortcut).



1- This is where you write in the rooms name, and this is what will appear on the room/channel listing.
2- This is the loopback setting (best left alone ). Loopback range sometimes needs to be set for 127.0.0.2.
3- Port setting. This is best left as it is.
4- This is the amount of guests you are allowing into the room , a sensible number is around 50
5- This is the name of the server as it appears inside the room/channel
6- Put your room topic in here. This is the one that shows up on the main room list, next to the room name. Try to make it interesting to attract more visitors.
7- This is the message that is shown as you enter the room , (it will still show the full message you type ,even though the box looks small)
8- This is the password to admin folk and must be entered in the room in the following way:
-usercmd inputpasscode XXXXXXXXXX (XXXXXXXXX = password obviously). Please remember to type it exactly as shown, spaces and all, or it will not work correctly.
9- This is for a co-host in the room . This is a higher setting then an admin and allows a few extra functions not available to the admin. If you use this function remember ppl with the passcode will have full control of the room. So leaving it blank might allow someone to enter blank spaces and become co-host.
(Best to leave this loaded with random characters if you don't plan on using it).
Start Button - This starts the server, and ticking the small "Room Is Visible" box allows the channel to be listed on the WPNS
Exit Button - This does as it says and closes the server completely


Ouka has been making updated versions quite regularly and in his latest versions there is an AutoUpdate.exe. This allows you to receive updates automatically.



You can check for updates manually by right clicking the small icon in your task panel, and choose Latest Version Check. You can also change Fonts, Show or Hide the room, and Exit from this.




For the first update, please don't be alarmed by seeing a notice similar to this one , its quiet normal.
Ticking the small box on most firewalls , ensures you wont see it again.

There are other commands that will work in the Ouka room, however they are not listed on the scroll bar.
They are as follows:

--UserCmd /Kick - Allows you to kick a user.

(-AdminCmd /Hidden joe_soap_123_12345)

The following commands allow users without RCMS installed and on 3.5x versions of WinMX to use commands.

-/Login - Admin themselves.
-/OpMsg - Send messages for admins to view only.
-/Kick - Kick a user.
-/KickBan - Kick/ban a user.

-/SetMotd - Set the message of the day.
-/Colour - See the list of colours and the codes.
-/Server - Allows you to see the server information.

Basically the new Ouka allows you to have two channels listed in the WPN listing, with seperate names and topics. Anyone entering either room will be in the original Ouka room as they are both on the same server.
--AdminCmd /Setchannelname2 - This allows you to set the second channel name from that runs from the same server.
--AdminCmd /Topic2 - This command is for a second Ouka room topic, from the same server.

These two commands are for use with MXChat/Nushi/Metis. They allow you to turn on or off the colour.

--ATSCmd MctOff - Colour Off
--ATSCmd MctOn - Colour On[/quote]
