i dont understand the docs you edit when you make you server so i would like something that will give me choices via dropboxes/checkboxes instead of editing the files. i tried some custom server software but it is still just editing the files.  help please.  



thanks ahead and please hurry

At the moment, as far as i

At the moment, as far as i know, all server software requires the editing of files. Also most of the file editing is pretty straight forward. Try reading the readme that probably came with it.

ok heres what your properties

ok heres what your properties file should look like (with my notes):

#Minecraft server properties
#Sat Jul 24 20:03:36 CDT 2010 (ignore this)
verify-names=true (leave this alone)
admin-slot=false (if true, when your server gets full, an admin can get on by kicking a low ranking person off.)
port=25565 (leave this alone)
public=true (false means its a private server)
server-name= (Put the name of the server here)
max-players=16
max-connections=3
grow-trees=false (trees will grow if true)
motd= Put a message here

the commands depend on some

the commands depend on some things, 1. your rank, the higher you are the more commands, you'll want to be admin. do this by putting your name in the admins.txt and the players.txt, make sure to check for capatilization,  and 2. what software your using. the original software doesn't have much for commands, but you can find them in the readme.

It sounds to me as if you're not on an administrator account on your computer. The computer admin can block the normal accounts from doing some things. Seeing as cmds can occasionally be dangerous, your computer admin has probably disabled the use of them.
