Post by: GLAMEOW on June 08, 2010, 11:03:36 pm

Code: [Select]

[level]
level   = 0
name    = ^2Wild ^1Pokemon
flags   = help specme time

[level]
level   = 1
name    = ^5Namesave Only
flags   = admintest help specme time

flags   = listplayers admintest help specme time spec999 warn denybuild

[level]
level   = 3
name    = ^2Wants some poke-sex
flags   = listplayers admintest help specme time putteam spec999 kick

[level]
level   = 4
name    = ^3Trusted poke-ball holder
flags   = listplayers admintest help specme time putteam spec999 kick ban

[level]
level   = 5
name    = ^1Has caught all pokemon
flags   = ALLFLAGS -INCOGNITO -IMMUTABLE -DBUILDER -BANIMMUNITY

[admin]
name    = ^6GLAMEOW
guid    = 3C11B97ABBAC9613D431C5991E471844
level   = 5

Remove the GUID... Also if you are trying it in 1.2, then admin commands no longer have ! at start.

still, no luck :(

Code: [Select]

GLAMEOW entered the game
-> !cp
[S] GLAMEOW: !cp
!cp: permission denied
-> !admintest
[S] GLAMEOW: !admintest
!admintest: permission denied.
-> /rcon *** !setlevel glam 5
broadcast: print "!setlevel: GLAMEOW was given level 5 admin rights by console\n"
Admin Command: console (console): setlevel glam 5

!setlevel: GLAMEOW was given level 5 admin rights by console
-> !admintest
[S] GLAMEOW: !admintest
!admintest: permission denied
-> /condump admin

I meant remove your GUID from the first post..... Is your admin.dat in <fs_homepath>/<fs_game>/ ? I'm not sure, but maybe remove the [admin] block entirely and reset the level through console? Or just copy the flags from lvl 5 to it.

In your server.cfg, are you defining admin.dat to be the place your store your admin data?

Code: [Select]

set g_admin "admin.dat" //admin and ban definition file

When you use /listplayers from the console, does it display you as an admin?  For the current map (the one you were setleveled on) and the map after that?

odd, when i use the old-style flags it works flawlessly..

i am using the tremded from tremfusion... thought the flags had to be spelled out :/

oh, and it did show me as admin when i used !listplayers


now i just need to find what letter mean what... a tutorial maybe? lol

Well, as its based on lakitus qvm (i think), you can use http://projects.mercenariesguild.net/attachments/download/28/changelog.txt (http://projects.mercenariesguild.net/attachments/download/28/changelog.txt)
