GPP admin permission denied
« on: July 01, 2011, 11:51:15 pm »
Hi all;

On my server (running GPP) I am a level 5 administrator; however, from in-game I cannot actually do anything without getting "permission denied."

Here's my server log of an attempt:

I deleted admin.dat and allows tremded to recreate it. It did so and added me to the list after a setlevel. (As you can see, it authenticates me as a level 5 admin--but won't allow my user to do anything.) What is going on?

This should be filed under Troubleshooting.

Paste your OS, arch, version of GPP (i.e. GPP1, etc), and contents of admin.dat
It's highly likely that your admin flags are messed up, but without knowing the details of your situation it's impossible to tell.

CentOS 5.6 i386, GPP1 (whatever was in the Files section last week). I did compile tremded-gpp.x86 from the source provided with tremulous-gpp1.zip; whoever is compiling these is not taking into account systems that don't have the latest glibc 2.7.

Flags are no longer single characters.
You can use this to convert your admin.dat and it should work fine.
I'm surprised your tremded still outputs single character flags though.

That did the trick, thanks.

Not sure why it's doing that either, but I'll solve it later. :)
