Title: How can I setup the admin.dat file...
Post by: MilanFIN on November 23, 2011, 11:59:35 AM
Hi

I asked this something like 8months ago, but didnt get answer.
So:
I know there is a admin system in oa085, levels 0-5 where 5 is server operator.

Now I want to setup my own admin.dat file, where I can modify the flags to change rights for the levels...
Cause lvl3 admin can kick but cannot change map! :o

Could someone tell me step-by-step plz, thank you

I'm unable to answer... I would only suggest to who is capable of doing it, to directly write an article on the main wiki ((DO NOT LINK) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com) about it.

MilanFIN, for the moment, some documentation about !admin system is here: code.google.com/p/oax/w/list

I know how to do the file I even have my own, but how can I make the server recognize the file.
If I put it in baseoa the server will still act like it would have defaut file... :o :o :o

Have you placed it in baseoa under your installation folder or in baseoa under your "homepath" folder? Files in homepath folder "ovveride" those with the same name under installation folder.

The oa is not really "installed" it is a package downloaded from this site with the patch...



BTW: For the patch it is enough to only copy the patch pk3 file from the baseoa, or do I need the new launchers too???
