help with step 11

11.) Setting up the world server. Here's the sql file to make the world server entry.
Quote:
INSERT INTO `tblworldserverregistration` (`ServerID`, `ServerLongName`, `ServerTagDescription`, `ServerShortName`, `ServerListTypeID`, `ServerLastLoginDate`, `ServerLastIPAddr`, `ServerAdminID`, `Note`) VALUES ('1', 'NameOfServer', 'ServerTagDescription', 'ShortNameOfServer', '2', NULL, NULL, '1', NULL);
Again, the red text is what you want to modify with your server name.
NameOfServer is the actual name of the server.
ShortNameOfServer is the shortname for client files in your game directory (i.e. UI_Soandso_ShortNameOfServer.ini).
ServerTagDescription is what you will see in parenthesis after the server's name - i.e. NameOfServer(Come and have fun!)
The green number 2 signifies what kind of server it is. 1 = Legends, 2 = Preferred, 3 = Standard.


maybe I have been staring at code too long when I am a beginner at all this and it is causing me confusion...but what would I put in for the "short name of server" part. How I am reading it doesnt make sense to me.

The short is usually a single word that sums up your long name, ie Long name "The Razor's Edge", Short name, razorsedge
