ADCH++

ADCH++ is a cool hub software for the ADC (Advanced Direct Connect) network. It works on both Unix and Windows platforms. Plus, it lets you extend its features with scripts in Lua and Python, along with C++ plugins!

Getting Started with ADCH++

If you're eager to dive in, first head over to your source folder and type scons -h to check out more compile options. To create a debug build, just type scons. If you want a release build instead, use scons mode=release.

Configuring ADCH++

The configuration of ADCH++ is done using an XML file. The standard plugins follow this setup too. Don’t worry; the example configuration comes loaded with comments to guide you along the way! For Linux users, the default spot for these config files is /etc/adchpp/. For Windows folks, look for a directory called “config” in your installation folder.

Running ADCH++

You can run ADCH++ as a console or terminal application. If you prefer it to run in the background like a service (or daemon), that's totally doable too! There are several command line options you might find handy:

• -c < configdir >: Use an alternate config directory (absolute path required).


• -i < name >: Install the hub service so it can run as a service (Windows only).


• -u < name >: Remove the previously created service (Windows only).


• -v: Print version info—definitely include this when reporting bugs!


• -d: Run as a daemon—kill it using standard sigterm (Linux only).


• -p < pid-file >: Write process PID to specified file (Linux only).
