Setup Guide

Step 1:

Download the latest version of McX from here - http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/mcx/files/

Step 2:

Upload/copy the jar file to your servers plugins folder.

Step 3:

Run/Restart/Reload the server to generate McX's plugin folder and configuration files.

Step 4:

Locate the config.yml file found in McX's plugin folder. Open the file with a file editor that wont break the structure. (Notepad+ +, Net beans, Sublime Text 2 all are fine for use on windows, as well as lots of other programs. On a Linux machine, the commands vi and nano work fine).

Change the mysql connection details to match that of your forum's. Make sure that the prefix for the tables is correct for your forum. If your forum does not have a prefix, make this just two quotation marks - e.g. "".

Step 5:

There's two different way in which you can verify that a user is registered with your forum using McX. The first way is to check the users minecraft username with their forum username. The other is to check their minecraft username with the username they've entered into a custom field on the forum upon registration.

The first way - custom fields - requires you to setup a custom field within the forum and then enter the field id into the confi.yml file. You also need to make sure that the authentication type is set to `field` in the config.yml.

The second way - forum username - is more simpiler to setup. You don't need to do anything in the forum its self. In the config.yml file just make sure that the authentication type is set to `username`.

See the config.yml guide for more details about the config.yml.

Step 6:

Your server should now sync with the forum.

You can also setup group syncing. Go to the guide for more information on this.
