FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions

What is a command and how do I use it?

Commands are used to issue a function on BSW. They always start with a '/' in the main 'Console' channel, and is actioned using the 'Enter' key. For most commands, you get a message telling you whether your function was correctly processed.

Mit /help erhältst du eine Liste aller dir zur Verfügung stehenden Befehle, mit /help BEFEHL (beispielsweise /help start) erhältst du eine Kurzinformation zur Nutzung des Befehls. Jeder Befehl braucht seine eigene Zeile und es dürfen ihm nur Leerzeichen vorangestellt sein. Die Eingabe ?hallo /help? oder ?/option drawseat /start? funktioniert also nicht. Eine Liste aller Befehle findet man bei den Hilfeseiten unter Kommandos.

Unregistriert Registriert

I registered, but it still shows when I log in that I am unregistered?

BSW is case sensitive, i.e. your login name and password are case-sensitive. So if you registered your name, then when trying to log in you are using different case letters, BSW will not recognize you as the registered player. It is always best to remeber the case of your login name and password.
