FED2TERM MANUAL - GETTING STARTED
SETTING UP YOUR FED ACCOUNT AND CHARACTER
Before you can log on to Federation using Fed2Term you need a Fed2 account, with a username which will identify you every time you log on, and a password for security. If you don't already have an account, or you want to set up a new one, Fed2Term will take care of this for you.
Select the 'New Account/Avatar' option from the 'Connect' menu, and the New Account & Avatar dialog box will come up on the screen.
The box is divided into two parts. The first contains boxes for you to fill in information for your new account: fill in the account ID you want to use, and the password (twice) and email address. Make sure the 'New Account' box is checked.
The second half of the box is for the details of your new Fed character: name, race, and gender, and the distribution of stats. This starts out with 20 points allocated to each of the stats, and 60 unused stats. Use the up and down arrows to change each stat until you have used up all the unallocated points.
When you have filled in all the details, click the 'Send to Server' button. Fed2Term will log on, set up your new account, set up your new character, and then return control to you once you are in the game.
Logging On Again
Having successfully set up your account and character, the next time you log on you will need to add the ID and password to the Account Details list, as described above.
What Can Go Wrong?
There are two things that can go wrong when Fed2Term tries to set up your new account and character.
1) The account ID you chose is already in use. In that case, you need to try again with a different ID. When you look at the 'New Account & Avatar' dialog box it will still have all the details you typed in; just change the ID and try again.
2) The character name you chose is already in use. The account is set up successfully, but not the character. Go back to the 'New Account & Avatar' dialog box and change the character name, and this time make sure the 'New Account' box is not checked. Fed2Term will log on with the specified account ID and password, and then try to set up the new character.
Setting Up a New Character on an Existing Account
If you need to set up a new character on an old account, Fed2Term will handle that, too. On the 'New Account & Avatar' dialog box, type in the account ID and password for the existing account, then fill in the details for the new character. Make sure the 'New Account' box is not checked. Fed2Term will log on with the specified account ID and password, and then try to set up the new character.
Using More Than One Fed Account
You can enter the account details for as many Fed2 accounts as you like. Click on the 'Next' arrow and the boxes will go blank for you to type in the new details. You can then use the 'Next' and 'Last' arrows to select the account you want to use when you log on. You can also change the details, for example if you change your password, simply by altering the information as it appears in the boxes; Fed2Term will remember whatever you type.
