Configuring F-pickup

NOTE: All commands mentioned should be entered in the mIRC status window

Configuring which channel to use
To make sure F-pickup operates in the correct channel use the following command: /pickupchannel <#channel>
For example if your channel is #quake3pickup, use: /pickupchannel #quake3pickup

Allowing F-pickup to control the game server
F-pickup can automatically load a map and configure a random server password before starting each pick-up game. F-pickup needs to know 3 things to make this work:
Gameserver IP address
Gameserver port
Gameserver rcon password
These settings can be entered by using the following command: /server_settings <ip:port> <rconpass>
Here's an example: /server_settings 123.123.123.123:29760 bunny

Configuring which maps to use
You can configure which maps can be voted for in your pick-up game.

To add a map to the map list use: /addmap <map name>
For example: /addmap q3dm2
Important: Always use the exact map name as on the game server or the maps won't load properly.

To remove a map use: /removemap <mapname>
For example: /addmap q3dm2

To view which maps are in the map list use: /viewmaps

Configuring how many players must be signed up before a pick-up game starts
F-pickup does not start a pick-up until the maximum amount of players allowed for each game is reached. You can configure this setting with the following command:
/setmax <N> where N is the number of players you want to use.
For example to have a 5 on 5 game use: /setmax 10 and for a 2 on 2 game use: /setmax 4
