Disable reset via script

It would be nice if it was only possible to reset via script if the npc server has reset rights. As far as I know, there's currently no way to prevent scripters from resetting anybody using sendtorc();

yeah allowing the npc server to send commands via sendtorc seems DANGEROUS.

Um, /reset <account> is dangerous. Can't judge if that's sarcasm or not.

I use it to reset accounts when I do major updates with systems and stuff so the old ones don't conflict with the new ones. Just like alcohol and fireworks, it CAN be dangerous or really helpful.

Well, lets rephrase the problem then. You are giving fireworks (NPC-Control) to a friend (staff member). He has some fun lighting up fireworks (scripting) and contributes well to your party (server) by doing so. He ends up firing quite a bunch of fireworks into your house though, also hitting some party guests (mass-resetting all online players and ****ing with the server).
:p

I know it can be both useful and dangerous, but the way it is now, dangerous outweighs useful. Basically anybody can reset whoever he wishes (everybody who stops by your party gets fireworks and burns your house down, wohoo).

There simply needs to be an easier way for owner/admins to do a reset that doesn't involve a silly script. Or at least easier to request one.

Sure, make a less silly script to delete the files in the accounts/ folder.

That's what I always imagined :) problem is, aren't rights and staff stuff stored in there too? Though I supposed it'd be easier to just omit staff and do an RC reset on them instead if it's really needed.

Would be neat if it just checked the npcserver's rights for Resetting.

I'd rather have a server option or something.

A cool way to do a reset would be like

PHP Code:


		
			
temp.folder.loadFolder("accounts/*", true);

for (temp.acc : folder) {
  if (! acc.ends(".txt")) {
    continue;
  }
  
  temp.tokens = acc.tokenize("/");
  sendToRC("/reset" SPC acc[1].substring(0, acc[1].length() - 4));
}

which would leave all comments and online time and rights.

How about a server option to only let certain scripts use reset (kinda like how somes tuff is restricted for client-rc)

EDIT: Just popped in my mind, but there should be a var of who last edited a script as well.
