<p><b>Setting Up the Database (cont't)</b>:</p>
<p><em>Editing Server Files</em>:</p>
<p>The screen shown at log in, and the information provided in
<code>`info',</code> <code>`news',</code> <code>`help',</code>
<code>`man',</code> <code>`mpi',</code> and <code>`motd'</code> (Message
of the Day) are all stored in the server directory
<code>game/data.</code></p>
<p>One of your first tasks will be providing a new log in screen, to
replace the <em>TygressMUCK</em> screen supplied with the server. To do
so, edit the file game/data/welcome.txt. Note: Though many players
currently have large screens, it's a good idea to limit the file to 78
characters by 20 rows. This is all that can be seen at one time by
someone running TinyFugue in `visual' mode on a standard 80 x 24
monitor, or a similarly limited terminal program on some other
platform.</p>
<p>You can add to or edit the documentation provided in
<code>`news',</code> <code>`info',</code> <code>`help',</code>
<code>`man',</code> and <code>`mpi'</code> by editing the files
<code>`news.txt',</code> <code>`info.txt',</code>
<code>`help.txt',</code> <code>`man.txt',</code> and
<code>`mpihelp.txt'</code> respectively. Or, you can add files to the
directories <code>`news',</code> <code>`info',</code>
<code>`help',</code> <code>`man',</code> and <code>`mpihelp'.</code>
Adding a file called <code>`join'</code> to the <code>`news'</code>
directory would create an entry that players can read by typing
<code>`news join'.</code></p>
<p>The <code>MOTD</code> will usually be updated online, with the
<code>`motd'</code> command (syntax: <code>`motd <message>'</code>
to add an entry; <code>`motd clear'</code> to clear all entries). The
<code>motd</code> command gives no control over formatting, however, and
you can only clear <em>all</em> the entries, not one or some. If you
want to make more precise changes to the <code>MOTD,</code> edit the
file <code>game/data/motd.txt.</code></p>
