###### TeamSpeak-Server 2.0.23.19 Readme ######


### Important Info ###

This is yet another release candidate 2 (rc2) of the TeamSpeak 2 series. You,
will need a fairly up-to-date client version in order to get connected AND be
able to use all the features.
So, in order to get connected you need a rc2 client (everything 2.0.28.40 and
higher). To be able to use some of the new features the server provides (most
notably: speex codecs) you need 2.0.29.47 at the least, though it's recommended
to switch to the newest client available (at time of writing 2.0.33.7).

If you are upgrading from an old rc2 server (version: 2.0.19.16 to 2.0.23.18)
then just copy your server.ini, server.log and (most importantly) server.dbs
into the new server folder, and start the new server. Then you will have the
same channels, registered users, permission settings etc.
If on the other hand you are upgrading from a rc1 server (version: everything
older than 2.0.19.16), then you need to convert your server database to the new
database format (tools to do this are available here:
http://forum.teamspeak.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4068 ), or you will
have to live with the loss of all data stored in the database (server data,
player data, channel data, settings).


### How does this server thing work? ###

### Whats new ###

Compared with last rc2 release

- Many bugs were fixed, including some that could crash your server, and others
  that might affect security
  
Compared with rc1

- New permissions system
  This allows you to configure the permissions for your
  users. You might want to check and configure it.

- Telnet / tcpquery interface
  Please check http://forum.teamspeak.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3824
  or read the server manual for info on it.

- Ban players (IP based)

- Move players
  This allows SA (or others see New permissions system) to
  drag & drop people on the server to different channels.

- MySQL support should be working now, if you want to use it refer to the
  included "INSTALL.mysql" file, that will walk you through

- Many improvements to the tcpquery interface, most fun are timeban and idle
  kicking

- greatly improved logging, make sure to have a look at the options that can be
  found in the server.ini

- And much more :)

### Frequently Asked Questions ###

Q: I installed the server, how do I become an Admin on it?
A: To get the login data for the Server Administrator, do the following:
   - Start the TeamSpeak server and close it again.
   - Open the file server.log that is created in the same directory where the
   server executable is located.
   - look for the lines similar to:
 
   09-11-03 12:31:35,WARNING,Info,SERVER, admin account info: username: admin password: 5cglko
   09-11-03 12:31:35,WARNING,Info,SERVER, superadmin account info: username: superadmin password: k06i26
   
   For you the password will be different. 
   Also notice that the superadmin account is only for web-adminning your server not to login via the ts-client.

Q: Which ports does the TS2 Server use?
A. 8767 UDP, Server
   How to change? In the webadmin interface.

   14534 TCP, WebInterface
   How to change? Location at server.ini: HTTPServer Port=14534

   51234 TCP, tcpquery port
   How to change? Location at server.ini: TCPQueryPort=51234

   To get server to work behind firewall, nat, masq you
   need only to open/forward the 8767 UDP port.
