Vip mod test server

[ZERO]

The test server is live with the new admin system! The info is below:
IP: 208.43.70.235
Password: vip

So here is what you can expect, basic vip mod setup and admin setup. All configuration is currently stock so we will be working to get everything working perfectly over the next few weeks. Right now the main thing to check is that your admin works correctly.

Now I will be bringing back some missing features like giving money and checking rates along with team swap. I will update this thread as more features are added. In addition as we get closer to release I will make a new section on the forums just like the other servers have. I also may do that sooner in order to better track bugs and work progress lists until release.

Some things will need additional programing to work the way we want them some things will be replaced with improved versions. Also do not mess with the bot overseer commands. I will be restricting those to myself when I get a chance. You can really fuck up the server if you mess around with that. In addition leave the configs things alone too.

Feel free to mess around with the other functions including banning so that you can see how the system works. I do not think it will let you ban yourself or each other. (clan members may be except from these restrictions) However, it is important that you start to become familiar with the new systems. When new plugins are added I will list them below along with any commands you can use with them.

Please post any problems or comments you have in this thread:

just fucked around with blade, crywolf and alex on there for a bit, was good times. I see the server doing quite well.

[BladeTwinSwords]

I must say it feels great to play VIP once again. Admin is working and I can help people learn sm as well since I know most commands.

What about the ones that need to be removed lol? Thanks for the list though I will add those when I get a chance. :wtg:

[BladeTwinSwords]

Oh remove as_oilrig_dj and as_test along with all of the cs and de maps.

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

uhg, i came here to post something awesome but got distracted by spasms avatar..

... hmm

O YA.

If any of you plan on being in the server tonight i will join, just send me a steam message to un glue my mind from this abomination of a game called rift.

[Hai]

After playing with it a few, I noticed the game rounds seem a little short. The object is to get the VIP to the end alive, may want to give them a little more time to do so.

[acolyte_to_jippity]

new admin thing sucks.

so poorly organized in the menus

[ZERO]

More importantly the automated system is magically not working it just by chance worked one time and one time only. I have not been able to figure out what is wrong with my code... :headache:

[StarsMine]

I kinda like how you make it so we cant screw with fellow admins... also kinda not like not being able to screw with fellow admins...

[ZERO]

dam this shit is totally fucked up. I have been messing with it all day and can not get it to properly update. The issue stems from some sort of inability for it to get the user groups of the admin...

[ZERO]

Well so here is the good news, I can still just manually save your profile and it updates the data then. So I can just activate admin the way I already do except that the part where I record your steam id and other infos for my records I can just save you right then in there where as before I would then take that data and copy n paste it one pice at a time into come rcon commands that I then would need to run on each server one at a time. Then I would need to connect to each server one at a time and set up your privileges.

So basically even if I can not get instant activation working this new system will still save me hours of time previously spend processing activations and deactivation. In addition it also lets me preform a manual background check prior to activation which would not exist with the instant activation thus offering protection against bad users who bought a second copy of css to try to order admin again :smirk:

[ZERO]

Some users who have admin in the forums but who's admin was not working on the test server is now fixed. Everyone that should have admin in there now does have admin in there. :wtg:

[acolyte_to_jippity]

can you fix the in-game menu to be like mani's?

it looks like you can't do shit w/ sm. mani is much more powerful and useful. bout all that sm has is a better admin list (with sm_who)

[ZERO]

This is only the default config, I will not be adding in the other features to restore what mani had until later in the week. SM is much more powerful b/c as it is open source we can just do whatever we want :wtg:

great to hear!

make like mani plox ^_^

[ZERO]

I thought I could get it working but now my mind is blown!

I hard coded all the variables within the function to be the same every time it is run. However, it always runs correctly when saving manually and never returns correctly when saving automatically. The program is now defying the laws of logic in order to not work :headache:

This is beyond reason(simplified):


$var = 2;

if($var == 2)
{
return(true);
}
else
{
return(false):
}


Output from when I run manually: true
Output from when I run automatically: false
:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :reddot:

[StarsMine]

The fuck is with that code

[Darkphoenix]

i keep trying to join but it wont let me

never mind its good

also i really like it, along with the new admin menu

[maynard]

The fuck is with that code
hacks?

[ZERO]

muahahaha

solved! Got it working! Now it is automated and your admin activates when you order. Now time for the final part:

a check to prevent "banned" admins from ordering. If you are on the ban list and order admin you will automatically get a reserved slot instead. :wtg:

[ZERO]

Done, the new system is finished!

Admin will be activated and deactivated along with reserved slot orders automatically. The system also checks for users who are not allowed to have admin and gives them a reserved slot instead. This also means that if you lose your admin but are still subscribed it will automatically switch to a reserved slot only.

Now that this part is done we can focus on getting all the features ect configured on the test server. One thing that still needs to be tested is if the reserved slots work correctly on the test server. This however can be tested later on.
