Installation is super easy:
1. Unzip on your web server
2. Copy config.php to local/ and edit it to set up your server.
Directives are documented within the file.
All you need to do to get a running game is to change the pertinent MySQL variables,
but you may customize the game to your liking in detail if you wish.
You do not need to do perform any database setup or installation step; tables for
configured servers are automatically and transparently installed on the fly. This makes
it very easy to add and remove servers later just by editing local/config.php
3. Congratulations! FAF is installed. Just browse to the game directory and log in with:
username: admin
password: password
BE SURE TO IMMEDIATELY CHANGE YOUR ADMIN PASSWORD ON ALL SERVERS!
################################# Notes for Developers #################################
1. If you wish to make changes to the codebase, it is recommended that you copy the
files you want to modify into the same path in the ./local directory, and edit them
there. For example, if you change military.php, you would copy military.php to
local/military.php and change it there. It will be transparently included by the
game. Then an upgrade is trivial as your changes will never be overwritten. Some
other examples:
lib/libclan.php -> local/lib/libclan.php
templates/prom/login.html -> local/templates/prom/login.html
external/minibb/lang/eng.php -> external/local/minibb/lang/eng.php
guide/Aid.2 -> local/guide/Aid.2
etcetera.
2. Since FAF is released under the GPL, any modifications you make must be released to
any party requesting them, unless doing so would conflict with the license of
another project you took code from. This must not be construed as legal advice.
