The New Rights System
 

The servers are using a new rights system for playerworld staff.
Instead of only using 4 or 5 levels for the admins, the rights
(warp power, viewing attributes, disconnecting players etc.)
can be separately assigned to admins depending on the
position of the admin/player. This is also introducing new
stuff like locally ban players and editing ip ranges directly
in the account.

This new rights system currently only works for playerworld staff,
while global staff rights still depend on the adminlevel
set in the account. We will soon have less global admins since
most things can be done with local rights,
global admins are only needed for doing global bans
and making playerworld staff accounts.

The playerworld staff accounts are not automatically switched
to the local rights yet. If you login on an account that has not
been switched, then you will get the default rights
depending on your adminlevel. The new rights thing
will only be enabled when the rights are edited
(by an admin with the power to edit rights). In one week
all playerworld staff accounts that have not been
switched will be autmatically switched and get no rights.

To be able to edit rights or using the other new
RC features, download the latest version.
When right-clicking on a player in the playerlist then you will
see new menu options: 'Edit rights' opens a window where you can
edit the rights and ip range of the player (if you are authorized
for editing the rights). The ip range field (default: *.*.*.*) can
contain more than one ip range, just separate them with commas.
'Edit comments' opens a window where you
can edit the comments about the account/player. It can be longer than
the old limitation of 200 characters. 'Edit Ban' will open a window
where you specify if the player is banned on the current server,
and the reason for the ban. The reason should also contain
the time of the illegal action of the player and the name of the
admin, so that you later know why, when and how the player
has been banned. The 'Reset' option is not new in the version,
but because not all admins know it yet informations about what it does:
It lets you reset the attributes of the player on the current playerworld.
It will set all stuff to the default value, except kills, deaths, onlinetime,
rating, comments, rights, local ban, ip range, head img, body img,
and body colors.
Other new features:
- a right-click menu in the accounts list
- serverflags list, accounts flags and account weapons list can
display stuff that is widther than one line and don't truncate it
- removed stuff from the starting window that is not longer needed


With the new gserver version there are also new server options:
- startap=50
specifies how much alignment (ap) a player gets when he logs in
for the first time
- respawntime=10
specifies how fast bushes respawn (in seconds)
- horselifetime=10
specifies after how many seconds horses disappear (horses
made with the script command puthorse)
- baddyrespawntime=120
specifieds after how many seconds killed baddies respawn
I can also add something to the options (the secret part) for
setting a reset time for the server, so making possible server
resets simplier, since its only editing one line in the text file
and people will still have all their stats.

There is currently a problem with disconnecting players,
if its a problem on your server then let me know (it has already
been fixed but the servers are not restarted each time a small
problem occurs or a small feature is added).

very nice : )

Bravo Stefan, truely this is superb!

Re: The New Rights System
 

I like it. Alot!

omfg Stefan you own!
1 question
who can edit the 'can change rights' attribute? can a level 3 rc go and give some1 else all this stuff? or just level 4's?

By default only accounts that had level 4 previously

wow, this is a lot nicer. Its smaller so it has a lot cleaner look. Can someone explain to me the account list button? I have played with it but I dont really know how it works =\

I love you stefan (non-sexually)

if you select accounts like with
adminworlds = 'bravo'
then you can right-click on the account name
and select edit account, edit rights etc.

I have level 4 and when I set the rights for my player account it says not authorized

Hey, this is really cool!

Yes that is/was cool! Until someone changed my RC and I can't do ****. >.<

so the ip range of the rc takes over the ipgplist or its an addition ?

It says im not authorized to disconnect players.

edit ur own rights and check everything then hit apply =)

done

still nto workin

we are having this problem....

Cool.

-Jinx

yak was having that problem till he d/c meh lol

Stefan, if you already haven't done so, upgrade the providence lat accounts!

edit your own account
check everything hit apply and relog

That is neat, Stefan :D

:D Well maybe its too complicated for you!
:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

erhm no, ive done everything, its not working.

Odd it works on Npulse,but then again all our levels were refreshed since you were so kind as to send your Hacker Legend to hack our server and delete them. Soooo Sorry if I find your problem abit amusing. :D :p :p :D

If you read my post, I said that disconnecting
is not working on some playerworlds,
if you need it tell me to restart your server

Stefan two things..
is the gp ip txt file still in use ?
and also could you add guild support to the gserver? like the NPC Server has but to the g server so we can make npc's with that ? it would be a big help .. or at least add it to the RC

The gp ip txt file can still be used, but may be
I will remove support for it next week since its
not needed anymore (only makes things
complicated when there are different ways of
adding ip ranges)

A new guilds system might be good
(in-game), not sure if it will be added soon

ok, please restart atlantis ;)

and thank you for the new features

Non-global guilds on PW's would be excellent. And I'm glad banning for PW's has finally been added. Thank you Stefan. Although I have banned my own account to test, now I can't unban it because I'm not authorized to view/edit accounts :(

all u gotta do is uncheck the ban thing =\

It's hard to find many people who you can trust with FTP . and alot harder to find people who you can trust and are willing to do guilds all the time. So if players would be able to edit their guilds it would be alot better.
I think that the Graal2001 website guild admin is a lot of help, but it's p2p only so it's not much helpful to us.
Thanx =)

AGgggggggg seems Npulse needs to be restarted yet again!
disconnecting Players stopped working! It was but it is not now.

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :eek:


So Stefan if you read this " How about a jump start !" :D

There's a bug that doesn't allow you to D/C people.. Bah! :(

Yes you need to tell me to restart the server
if you need it

Stefan, how come I don't have RC any more? :(

reset
 

Please restart Bravo as well.

Its on my previous post thanks!


Npulse NEEDS A RESTART! :D :D

im sad i dont have RC on ne servers ne more :( will some nice owner of a playerworld let me have an RC there? and Stefan y doesnt FAQ Chief get RC Police Chief does?
