Server Help

[testforechozero]

Hmm. Hard to explain, i suppose. How do I use my Smod Commands in my little Subarena? I... dont know how.

[SuSE]

you need to know the smod password (specified in server.ini, [password] section SuperModeratorPassword=)

then you either have to type "*smodpassword" in-game or append "*smodpassword" to your normal password in your player profile (actually, it's a good idea to make a new profile like "Your Normal Nick - [insert name of zone you're smod in]" - as having a password for one zone appended to your normal profile password will probably make that profile not function in any other zone)

then you just use the commands

the following list of commands can be used by smods (a tiny bit missing, but they're not that important for newcomers)

Ok, i did what you said, and it still didn't work.

Say my password was "random". I entered the zone and typed *random. Nothing came up. I tried doing *prize to see if it worked. Still nothing.

See any problems?

[SuSE]

you said "in my little subarena"

are your powers restricted to this subarena?
if so, that's the only place they'll work

talk to the sysop that gave you powers for more help

[Cyan~Fire]

You can be mod in the entire zone, but you only have smod power in ?go nexus. Were you in there?
