Palace Server Introduction

Welcome to The Palace! The Palace is one of the most creative "tools" that let internet users and developers add graphical chat and event capabilities to they're own servers or existing Websites. But more than that, The Palace also is a diverse online world of communities that you can explore to socialize, learn from, and exchange ideas with other users.

Using The Palace Server software, you can create your own Palace site, your own personal graphical chat environment to share your visions and ideas with others.

Setting up a Palace is quick and easy. In fact, you can create your own Palace in minutes, using standard room art or even importing your own. You can customize your site as much as you want with different rooms, artwork, sounds, and even executable scripts. With all the resources available in the Palace Planet Links section, you can then learn an endless number of advanced interactive tricks with Iptscrae Palace programming language.

This manual documents how to set up your own Palace personal server. For information on The Palace and how to use its interface, see The Palace Client Manuals.

The Palace community has three types of users:

Gods (Also known as administrators or owners) are the superusers of their Palace servers. By default, you are the God of your own Palace, and can give this capability to others by giving them your God password. Your role as the God includes creating, maintaining, running and evolving your Palace Site. Palace Gods can run all Palace commands, and possess a special set of their own; these are fully documented in The Palace Wizard's Guide. You execute owner commands through your Palace client while connected to your server. To do this, you establish an owner password for the client.
Wizards (Also known as operators) are "power users" you entrust with special powers and responsibilities on your site. By default, you are also a Wizard of your own site. Wizards can create and destroy rooms, alter room-level scripts, ban unruly users, and generally run the place. Some wizards lean more toward the design angle of the job, concentrating on creating new rooms and room-level Scripts, while others prefer the social angle, and spend their time hanging out in The Palace, keeping things moving, interesting, and within community standards. If you want to have a lively Palace Server, it is important to find good social Wizards that make people feel safe and comfortable. A good social wizard knows he/she is a host who makes sure Users to your Palace feel at home and does not "show off" Wizard powers. But rather uses them discretely in the background to keep things running smoothly.

Like God capabilities, Wizard capabilities are enabled on The Palace client through a Wizard password you establish for your site. You can let others be wizards by giving them this password. Wizard capability is described in more detail in The Palace Wizards Guide.
Users are the people who visit your and other Palace sites using The Palace client software. There are currently two types of Palace clients: Instant Palace, which is web-based JAVA applet (you can even embed it into your own web page) and The Palace User software, which is a standalone application you can download from The Palace Planet website.
