Title: CS Source - Mani Admin Plugin
Post by: OldBloke on October 04, 2006, 05:01:14 PM
Gents

I have installed Mani to Boomer and it appears to be working OK. I have configured it to use MySQL on BAII which means we can use the spinky web interface to manage the admin accounts.

http://87.240.138.20/maniweb

I have created a generic account for people to use to setup their own admin accounts ...

UserName: admin4dmw

Whitey - You got a lot of reading to do. This thing is powerful, dude.:blink:

Apart from the map votes not working, it does the job nicely.  I'll need to spend some time on the Limited Admin group and get people added.

Think I disabled all voting.

Can we have it enabled so that Admins can initiate the vote, but we don't want it to happen at the end of every map.

Works great :smile:
I'm not getting a chance to do much testing on the other groups as every time I join the server other people join and I just have to have a game:yahoo:

Wasn't working for me but Whitey told me that he had created a "Full Admin" group and put himself in it. I have added OB, TL and myself to that group so should be OK now :)

Now that you have the admin group assigned, you don't need to be in the client flags list, as this just sets the same things again.  I've started working on a Junior admin group with the hope of handing it out to a few more people to allow them to do basic admin once Boomer is made public.  

The "RCON Menu" section has an option to add a bot. Can this be expanded to allow the removal of bots as well (I know Blunt would like this)?

I'll do some more digging myself this weekend while you enjoy yourselves at the lan :smile:

Im around this weekend and I can access the server and screw up OBs carefully crafted install if you need me to :)

Sounds good to me.  I'll play about with the config on my home system and if I get them sorted before the end of the weekend, I'll pass them on. :flirty:

On Monday OB will just think he had too much to drink on Saturday night and changed the configs himself (so it won't matter if we screw them up :thumbsup:)

I've setup and tested three Admin groups, Full, Limited and Junior.
Full can do everything.
Limited removes some of the silly things like burn and teleport but has full admin functionality.
Junior is a replacement for the old AMX Admins. They can add/remove bots, kick, slay and change maps as well as issuing admin messages.  

I have asked a few people if they would like the Junior admin access, so far only Rizzy has replied with a yes and this has been setup. Once Boomer is open to the public, this will be usefull.

Let me know if you think any of the groups should be restricted more.

We've also got a new rconlist.txt file on Boomer with the gravity stuff removed and more Bot controls added as well as a restart round.

Can we please alter the config file to hard code by default:

AWM & Auto-Sniper disabled
Start money $5,000
Stats off

And can we get the Mani kick to work please - it does not for me.

The first three will need to be done by using the mani commands in the server configs, I'd be happy to change these if someone would send them to me.  I can then test them on my server at home before sending them back.

I have no idea why the kick isn't working for you TL, it works for others I've spoken to and as you can see from the following you have the same setup as me. :g:

discovered the default weapon restriction file in the mani cfg folder which can be edited to restrict certain weapons on all maps. Consequently have restricted AWM and both auto-snipers (1 T and 1 CT) in the file but it might need a map change or a server restart to enable it.

NB for Matches: This will affect both servers I think!!!!!!!!!!!

Start money was set to $5000 in both server cfg files so it should be already at that amount.

The kick one is wierd because I tried to kick a couple today and ended up having to reach for HLSW instead as pressing the Mani way did nothing.  Not sure if it has problems with certain types of name maybe and I got unlucy, but I have yet to manage to kick anyone with it.

Any result on things not working?  Slay did not work this morning for a particularly persistent, stubborn & ignorant player today.

Slay has stopped working for me since the last steam update.

Ok, not just me then, slay also failed on this player - he had a wierd font name, so I guess name abuse plus patch = borked Mani.  any updates out for it yet to patch it up?

I've configured the Manimod web interface to allow separate admin settings for our public (called 'Default' on the web interface) and private servers. There was no easy way to configure the users for the new server group so I had to copy over the records from the MySQL database. This means they are currently identical but can be easily amended.

The way this works is ManiMod looks in the database.txt file in the cfgs folder (e.g. C:\Servers\cssource\cstrike\cfg\mani_admin_plugin\database.txt)to see if a MySQL database has been configured to deliver the admins and their associated powers. Each server needs a distinct ID recorded in the file above. This is also where you assign the server to a group.

The MySQL database is on BA2 as is Maniwebadmin. Changes to the database made via Maniwebadmin are reflected on the server at each map change.

When new servers are added to existing groups they inherit the existing admin rules.

Cheers OB.

I forgot the server was on BA2 - that explains why I couldn't find it on BA3 :roflmao:

There appears to be a problem with the installation instructions for maniweb because it says that the database is populated after a map change. Not so.:sideways:

All that's needed is to run the following command in console:

ma_client upload

This will add the server to the database.:D
