<!-- Answer 03 -->
<li><a name="03" class="question">What are the system hardware requirements?</a>
<div class="answer">
While this remains currently untested, here are some recommendations.<br />
<br />
Minimum:<br />
<ul>
<li>128 MB of RAM.</li>
<li>A processor of at least 400mhz.</li>
<li>At least 250 MB of free hard drive space.</li>
</ul>
<br />
Recommended:<br />
<ul>
<li>256 MB of RAM or greater.</li>
<li>A processor of at least 800mhz.</li>
<li>At least 500 MB of free hard drive space.</li>
</ul>
<br />
Naturally, the better your hardware the better your server's performance will be.

<!-- Answer 06 -->
<li><a name="06" class="question">How do I compile Wolfpack under Linux?</a><br />
<div class="answer">
First you need the latest QT-3.3.x release for your linux distribution.<br />
You will also need the dev package for this version of QT.<br />
Note: Most distributions use libqt3-mt and libqt3-mt-dev for package names.<br />
<br />
Distribution Notes<br /><br />
Debian:<br />
<ul>
<li>Recommended that you use Debian Unstable for latest packages.</li>
<li>QT3 Packages: libqt3c102-mt libqt3-mt-dev libqt3-headers qt3-dev-tools</li>
<li>Python Packages: python2.3 python2.3-dev</li>
<li>Recommended Packages: python2.3-mysqldb python2.3-sqlite python2.3-xml libsqlite0 libsqlite0-dev sqlite sqlite-doc</li>
<li>MySQL Packages: libmysqlclient-dev libmysqlclient12 mysql-client mysql-common mysql-server</li>
</ul>
<br />
Compiling Instructions:<br />
<div class="bash">
tar xvfj wolfpack.tar.bz2 -C ./<br />
cd wolfpack_source_dir/<br />
chmod +x configure<br />
./configure --help<br />
# Please read the options and use those that apply to you.<br />
# Running configure should auto detect most options. <br />
./configure --enable-debug --enable-mysql<br />
# At this point you can edit Makefile and add optional CFLAGS<br />
# I personally add -march=athlon -03<br />
make<br />
# Grab a snack while it compiles.

<!-- Answer 08 -->
<li><a name="08" class="question">Can I use the world files for previous Wolfpack versions?</a><br />
<div class="answer">
The simple answer for this is <span style="font-weight:bold;">no</span>.<br />
<ul>
<li>Wolfpack 13.x.x no longer uses or supports the old WSC save system. This has been replaced with
a database save system.</li>
<li>Wolfpack 13.x.x will use spawn scripts for filling in NPCs and there are commands available
for adding missing world objects.</li>
</ul>
<br />
However, if you do wish to try and use it there is an
<a href="http://www.wpdev.org/docs/command.php?name=IMPORT">import</a>
command which supports WSC/TXT/Sphere save formats. Please note this will NOT import NPCs!<br />
It is recommended that you look into using the
<a href="http://www.wpdev.org/docs/command.php?name=DECORATION">decoration</a>
command as an alternative to using import.

<!-- Answer 09 -->
<li><a name="09" class="question">Where can I find documentation?</a><br />
<div class="answer">
You can find Wolfpack documentation at: <a href="http://www.wpdev.org/docs/">http://www.wpdev.org/docs/</a><br />
You can find Python documentation at: <a href="http://python.org/doc/2.3.4/">http://python.org/doc/2.3.4/</a>

</li>
<!-- Answer 10 -->
<li><a name="10" class="question">Help! I get unicode errors with my python scripts!</a><br />
<div class="answer">
This problem is mostly common with Linux/BSD. Python-2.3 on many distributions comes compiled
using UCS4 for Unicode. Wolfpack currently requires that Python-2.3 be compiled with UCS2 for
Unicode. If this is the case, you will need to download and manually compile Python-2.3 and add the
`--enable-unicode=ucs2 --enable-shared` to the ./configure arguments. After this you can install this
Python-2.3 to your /usr/local/ directory or anywhere else. Please be sure to put this new python path
in the Wolfpack configure arguments!<br />
<br />
Python Fix / Compiling Instructions:<br />
<div class="bash">
# Compiling/Installing Python-2.3.x
tar xvjf Python-2.3.4.tar.bz2 -C ./<br />
cd python_source_dir/<br />
# Please note the --enable-shared and --enable-unicode=ucs2<br />
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-unicode=ucs2 --enable-shared<br />
make<br />
su root<br />
make install<br />
exit<br />
</div>
<br />
At this point you need to recompile Wolfpack.<br />

<li><a name="11" class="question">I found a bug! What can I do?</a><br />
<div class="answer">

<!-- Answer 12 -->
<li><a name="12" class="question">I wrote some scripts that were missing! What can I do with it?</a><br />
<div class="answer">
First of all, we are trying to conform to an OSI like world. So please check that your creation(s) are along
those requirements.<br />
If so, then there are a few things you can do:<br />
<ul>
<li>You can contact a developer by Email/IRC/IM</li>
<li>You can check the sourceforge mailing lists.</li>
</ul>
<br />
We try our best to give credit where it is due. If we receive contributions from non developers we
