Server Testing & Commands

Server Admin Commands:

To login as an admin you must be listed as one of the authorised admins in the admin.lst file on the server. You also need to use the same normal callsign in Hyperlobby (thus in the game) to be recognised.

To act as an admin. This is a prerequisite for all the following commands:

Command: login

Format:
Example:
Effect: The server will report back that Your pilot name is logged in as an administrator

Policy: Available to Bolter, TBar, Gosling - other will need adding to admin.txt on the server

To alter the maps:

Command: map

Format:
Example:
Effect: Loading next map

Policy: This causes the map to be changed to the chosen map. Also, causes no stats to be recorded for the previous map. Use sparingly. Mainly for map testing, event starts and training. (Stats is not running on ToWEvent_SNATF server.)

To kick a pilot:

Command: Kick

Format:
Example:
Effect: Named Pilot is kicked from the server but can re-enter later (I beleive there is a kick duration but I do not believe this is set up yet)

Policy: For initial offences and for three times.

Warranted Offences:

a. Team Kills without apology

b. Bad language in text or comms

c. Away from keys blocking Flight Deck for two minutes without explanation.

To ban a pilot:

Command: Ban

Format:
Example:
Effect: Named Pilot is permanently kicked from the server

Policy: For persistant offences and after being kicked more than three times.

Warranted Offences:

a. Team Kills without apology

b. Bad language in text or comms

To unban a pilot:

Command: Unban

Format:
Example:
Effect: Named Pilot is removed from the permanent banned list held on the server

Policy: Reinstatement after apology received by email detaillled in General Room thread.

Warranted Exemptions:

a. Three occassions of banning will not be accepted further and the pilot will remain banned.

There are many other commands which will be added in due course.

BOLTER

PLEASE IGNORE THIS IF YOU AND TBAR HAVE MADE CHANGES TO THE SERVER I AM UNAWARE OF ....

In the MCVG-2 Ready Room (The Tin Man) you have posted that SNATF xvii will include FBD Control and Stats ...

1. As I have said, FBD Stats is NOT available, and will not be for a while. It is not straight forward to setup and I need time.

2. As you saw Wednesday night, FBD Coding is being added to the mission but, if you remember our testing FAILED... We are NOT in a position to offer FBD Control either.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do not make promises we at tidesofwar.net cannot fulfil.

In your enthusiasm you are setting us up to FAIL and look unprofessional, again.

We are doing our best and will get there but we should not be promising things we cannot provide and should only offer things that we have proved through testing are possible.

Heading home on a train to try to ensure the server runs properly tonight!!!

Bolter

Success. The server is ready:

FBD Stats - No

FBD Control - Yes

Missions functions - Yes

Mission ends after 1 hour - Yes

Mission success red - Failed to bomb sufficent targets, untested, expect - Probably

LOGIN TO HYPERLOBBY AS EITHER:

VC-81_Bolter_CAG

Bolter

Mission Commands:

Effectively that is two different ways of starting the same mission.

I have removed the space in the map name as I thought it may be effecting the FBD coding. Not sure!

TBar

Bolter will need FPT into the GS3 at some point. The idea is that the server will not need editing as it will always start the mission called "thisweek.mis". All then that is required is to upload the mission with its normal name and also upload it as "thisweek.mis". That means two ways of starting the mission and no need to edit the server config files.

It is now 0110 here and I have been working on this since 2230. I will not be attending. Everything you needd is here. EZ is down to reduce lag as Bolter also said tonight's match would allow for 32 playes in his advert (untested on tides before). I have set the server to 32 and we will see!

Over to you Bolter ....

Gos

PS you can just get 2 bombng runs in 1 hour if you do not RTB!
