Server-Options & Scripting-Team
 

There is now a global scripting team, mainly made of Graal Kingdoms staff, so they can contact me easily. Those people can help you fix scripting leaks, optimize scripts and give general information about setting up gmaps etc. If you want them to help you then you need to give them npc rights. Only in a few cases they will get access to scripts with the local staff allowness - mainly when scripts cause big problems (using a lot of traffic or memory or allowing hackers to dupe items etc.) and no local scripter is online. You can disable warpto for the scripting team with the warptoforlowadmins=false option. All existing options:

startlevel=default starting level
startx=x position of the player in the starting level

The dontchangekills-option is not enabled on all servers yet. There are also new scripting features: With if (playertrial) you can check if a player is in trial mode. The control-npc gets if (rcchat) messages when you type /npcCOMMAND PARAMS on the chat bar on RC. The variables #p(0) will contain the command, #p(1) etc. the parameters.

MWAHAHA Stefan evaded swear filter! That's awesome. Why don't you get Unixmad to fix it to be a little more liberal?

Sorry for going off topic but I thought that was funny. :P

Thanx for posting all those options. Im sure we can think of a good use for that rc chat thing as well.

Is it possible to have a top 10 list for npc traffic as well as cpu time?

Yes RC chat will be useful. Also melissa the swear filer stops the sors sh*te, so anything with that word in will be stopped, no way around it, e.g. graaliscoolbutchewinggumis****easitssticky

Stefan, the GST should get access to the control npc no matter what. =/

wurd, they are trustable, and lets say they go crazy and delete it? Another one can re-make one that is probably better. ;)

Thanks Stefan, thats a big help :)

Re: Server-Options & Scripting-Team
 

Aren't those a little outdated having an NPC Server?

Why? Servers still use them.

w00t! Stefan PWNS <3 <3 <3! RCcommands now =)

LoL, I think you're the last person that should be saying anything about people getting more power.

I'd rather not have people I don't know coming on to my playerworld with power to edit my scripts and warp around and stuff. I don't want anyone but me on RC, I'm paranoid. :p

LOL!!!!
GIMME LEVELS FTP!!!

What is that supposed to mean konidias? But anyways, is having access to the main dbnpc that basically controls the server having more power? Or would it be for safe-guarding the playerworld and speeding it up? They can't come on and start warping around. You can disable that. They can't start coming on and editing your scripts, just the controlnpc one because it is the main one.

What is a Manager if he cannot control what goes on onto his/her server? It's just common courtesy and protocol for Stefan to do it this way. And I agree with Konidias on what he said , since the heart/engine of a server is the NPC Server , I for one want to see what is going on and what they are doing with it and why. I don't object to them making improvements but there are many reasons why strangers to a server should not have free access to do whatever they please. It's called checks and balances , keeps everyone honest. Besides they may not understand why something is scripted in a certain way , they may need answers to that (not saying it can't be improved on) they may also need a level access to fix something , this is why a Manager needs to be on when they are , not to dog them on what they are doing but aid them in their task by giving access to something they may need to fix a problem. I doubt seriously they will be able to fix everything just from the NPC server , a script on a level that is tied into it may also need to be fixed , so someone that can do that needs to be there. Not all servers freely give out levels access to Staff , Npulse is one of them.

You do know there are going to be a select amount of people who will steal scripts and edit them for their own playerworld projects or perhaps "lend" them to other playerworlds?
