Server not recognizing admins
« on: December 07, 2009, 01:03:54 am »
I just created a new server for Trem 1.2 and it isn't recognizing admins even though they are listed in admin.dat.  Every time I type in a command that a normal player should have, such as listadmins, it says "permission denied".  I'm new at trem servers, so any help would be appreciated. :)

Edit: Even admintest gives "permission denied"!

Edit2: I read through the source code and I noticed you have the commands spelled out instead of a single letter flag.  I tried it and it worked.  Is there are reason it was changed?

Because it's a lot easier to read
"allready listplayers ban IMMUNITY"
than
"alb1"

or whatever

The latter, for svn servers.

It was changed because modders ran out of letters.
Any maps not in the MG repo?  Email me or come to irc.freenode.net/#mg.

There were patches that let you use ^a, ^b, ^^a and ^^b so on as more flags.  Although I do support this changed, easier on your eyes. =D
