+Now you are ready for the extra cool part, automatic character generation.  It is currently achieved with two Python scripts called `setup.py` and `makecharacter.py`.  You'll need to edit a few numbers in the `makecharacter.py` script to be ready for the character generation portion, described in detail below.
 
 Make sure you already started your server.  If you just did your setup you are fine, but if you have restarted your computer or shut down your server you will need to run the following command again.  In a terminal navigated to the same folder from the "Getting Set Up" section above, type:
