Error reporting

When FactoCord encounters an error will log to error.log within the same directory as itself.

If you are having an issue make sure to check the error.log to see what the problem is.

If you are unable to solve the issue yourself, please post an issue containing the error.log and I will review and attempt to solve what the problem is.

Windows Support?

Currently I haven't had any luck getting FactoCord to run correctly on Windows, see this for information

If a way is found to fix this problem, then Windows support will be added.
