DISCLAIMER
==========
- This program has been created for the purpose of being somewhat useful and has been
tested thoroughly on windows 7 and windows 10 and is stable. However there might be
some bugs that have yet to rear their heads and as such may cause unintended harm to
data or files. I take no resposibility for any damages caused by this software and
you use it at your own risk.


GENERAL USAGE NOTES
===================
- Microsoft.NET Framework 4.5.2 or higher

- Neverwinter nights server monitor is a small application designed to monitor
the running process of a neverwinter nights dedicated server.
The application will detect if the server process has stopped responding or has
crashed and will then attempt to restart the server with the specified server
settings and load the specified module.

- The application has very few options and is very easy to use. By adjusting values in
the property grid control you can specify the server settings that will be passed
to the server when started. Server restarts can also be scheduled.

- The neverwinter nights server monitor will only monitor dedicated server processes
that have been started by this application and will not interfear with any other
dedicated server instances that my be running at the time.

- Two files and a registry entry are created by the application. The first file being a
settings file (user.config) which stores application settings and the second is a
database file (nwnsmdb.dat) containing data related to the dedicated server.
Deleteing either of these files will not affect the running of this application.
The registry entry is for auto starting the server monitor application.

INSTALL NOTES
=============
- The neverwinter nights server monitor application executable should be placed into
the same directory as the dedicated server client "nwserver.exe". This can usually
be found in the neverwinter nights game install directory.


KNOWN ISSUES
============
- Starting the neverwinter nights dedicated server will cause the microsoft windows UAC
dialog control to run holting the execution of the dedicated server application as it
requires elevated privileges. The only workround for this i have found so far is to use
Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit and create a custom rule for the server.


CHANGE LOG v1.2

- Fixed an issue which could cause an incorrect server name to be displayed in the status strip
