Here i will try and explain how you setup your hub and get started.

I wont explain howe these settings works, if you want a little better explanation of some settings, get into the GUI section on the page instead. I will skip some parts of YnHub, cause this should just be a quick up and go guide. So you have to fine tune your hub yourself later on. If you use these settings then the Admin and OP usercommand will fit, you will find them on this site.

Step 1
First of all you need to download YnHub, the latest version is 1.036
TTH: ZMRK6OVCTEPM3D2G5REVMLECXE5HWE2MPM4PIII (magnet)

After unpacking the rar file, you will se this.
Just press the YnHub.exe file.
YnHub Folder

To the top


Step 2 - Hub

Hub
1. Here you will see the uptime of your hub.
2. Here you start and stop your hub

To the top

Step 3 - Settings
Settings

1.Hub control

Autostart   Marked Box
Lock hub   Unmarked Box
Prompt on shutdown   Marked Box
Minimize to tray   Marked Box
Userlimit What ever you think is enough
Workpace Normal
Port(s) 411 is default. to separate use ; to use more then one port (411;23;1411)

2.Here you will be abel to give you hub a name and the "bot" in your hub.
The first box will name you hub. here it will be called The YnHub demo hub.
The second box tells what you will call your bot, in this case -YnHub-

3. Hub address, description, language, saves, convert.
In the first box you add your hub address, it can be a DNS or your external IP
The second box you can type a short description of your hub. This part will be visible in the hublist later on if you choose to register your hub.
Core language will change the language in your hub, but it will not change the language in the GUI. You can get the different languageshere.
Mark the auto save box and set it to 60 minutes, then you wont need to press the save button every time you make a change. But remember to press the save button before a reboot of the hub, this is where most people do wrong when they have made a reboot and when the hub is started again, some accounts have disappeared.
Now you are done here, lets get going to the next step.


To the top

Step 4 - Redirects
Redirects
1. Here you choose if you want to use the different redirects or not by marking the box.

2. Here you add the addresses you want the user should be redirected to.
 
This will be all up to you, who you want to redirect or not.
If you want multiple addresses on hub full for an example. then separate with a pipe. on.hub.full1:411|on.hub.full2:411| and so on then the users will be sent to random addresses.
But you don´t need to type in a address, you can write what ever you want.
On banned example. We don't want you in here.Your ass is banned in this hub so fu** off.
