Server administration
(05-04-2021 update in progress)



======== Admin Control Panel ========
https://admin.twcclan.org/



======== Important note ========
WolfET can handle simple Jpeg files, but doesn't handle complex Jpeg files, such as Gimp Jpeg files.

So Targa files (.tga) can be modified with Gimp, and used as is.
But Jpeg files, if modified with Gimp, must be edited and saved in jpeg format using MS Paint or similar.



======== Useful tools ========
