First Time Setup

New installs on Windows

1. Steps for new installs using Wrayth (formerly known as Stormfront)

• download Ruby4Lich5.exe from github
• Run the installer you just downloaded (new lich5 folder should be placed on your desktop)
• Copy your lich5 folder from your desktop.
  • Navigate to c:\ruby4lich5\ and paste your lich5 folder.
• Log into DR using the lich launcher (double click the lich.rbw in the lich5 folder, can make a shortcut to your desktop if you want)
  • Wait until it's all done. It will say "All Done!".
• Done.

2. When the above is all done... consider the following
   *;setupaliases this will set up common commands that you can use, such as typing map to bring up narost, and cc to check your circle requirements.

• If you are just coming back from a long time away, make sure monsterbold is set. run SET MONSTERBOLD
• We have some sample config files in Samples. They're named by class, and some folks have kindly shared the yamls they use. Use named yamls with care. The Samples are very good...

3. You might want to add some scripts you download to run automatically when you log in:
   • ;e autostart('script-name') will start it for all of your characters
   • ;e autostart('script-name', false) will start it for only this character
   • ;e echo(list_autostarts) will show you the files being autostarted on a given character
   • ;e stop_autostart('script-name') will remove an autostarted file from the list
   • ;e autostart(['textsubs', 'roomnumbers']) to add many scripts at once. This one is highly recommended for every person to run.
   • Detailed autostart documentation
