admin restrictions?

[suicidal_monkey]

I'm not sure if this is intentional or not but I have a rather strangely limited set of admin (mani_admin?) powers On Boomer (I've no status on the hook though once we're on there there's usually senior admins about). On Boomer I can admin-say stuff, restart the map and kick bots but I cannot act further beyond requests/warnings I issue to slap/kick/ban players. It would be useful if I could slap/slay/kick/etc players as there have been occasions recently when there's no-one seemingly able to "deal with" players and breaking out of the game to get to the forum can be a pain on an old machine with limited amounts of ram to swap-space with:flirty:

You have exactly the same privileges as all of the other mani admins but for some reason mani doesn't like some people (Mainly TL) :sad:

arrr. I assume you've tried removing and re-adding us? must be some way to relate the accounts on which is doesn't work - some sort of conflict in the setup file due to our respective SteamIDs (assuming this is how you define the accounts allowed) hooray for inexplicable variations:ninja: sounds like the results from some of my code...

I have tried removing and re-adding TL on a number of occasions but can try with you the next time we're both on Boomer.

By gum I think I've got it...

I have my mousewheel up, dn, button bound to slot1,2 and 3 to choose weapons quickly. What this has actually done in config.cfg is remove the three lines:
bind "1" "slot1"
bind "2" "slot2"
bind "3" "slot3"
I tried re-adding them in my userconfig.cfg file and more of the mani admin commands appear to be accessible - it at least makes the bleeping noise and sends me into the appropriate menus. Annoyingly hard to spot as 1,2,3 also used to select weapon categories just fine before!

I'm betting that to fix the issue whereby some people cannot access certain functions they need to add the following lines to their userconfig.cfg file. NB - userconfig.cfg, not config.cfg as Steam might overwrite config.cfg.

bind "5" "slot5"
bind "6" "slot6"
bind "7" "slot7"
bind "8" "slot8"
bind "9" "slot9"yes this is a bit of overkill and you really only need to repeat it for those keys which you bind to other areas (e.g. I use slot1,2,3 on my mouse leaving the rest as default so I only need those here)

I can now access the player management area (though not the fun player management area (it does make a bleep noise when I try at least)) :doh:

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\\counter-strike source\cstrike\cfg\userconfig.cfg

Nice find and that does make sense and fits in with what TL was seeing the last time we tested (think it was slot 2 he was having problems with).  Mani admins don't have access to the fun menu :flirty:

I have added it to my userconfig file (damn it, I actually had to create one in Source!) and will report back on success or otherwise.

Now all I have to do is sort a buyscript :roflmao:
