What?

In that list the player Catid would be a limited player, Snrrrub would be a moderator, Coco would be a super moderator, Snarklord would be a sysop, Ave-iator would be an owner, and nintendo up to 1stStrike would be owners too.

What's wrong with my explainations, do I speak German or something?

[Solid_Fire]

no lol, i meant like my name would be at the bottom, and there is no staff atm in my zone so i owuld put no one there except me?

[Solo Ace]

It would be the first line in the file, and the only one.

You would put

[Solid_Fire]

ahh like this:


1 :<no one> : staff
2 :<no one> : staff
3 :<no one>: staff
4 :<no one> : staff
5 :<no one> : staff
6 :<no one> : staff
7 :<no one> : staff
8 :<no one> : staff
9 :<no one>: staff
10:<no one> : staff
11:<no one> : Staff
12:Solid_Fire : = Owner

right? i think i understand it now. just had hard time getting it through my head.

[Solo Ace]

Uh? What?! No!

Just only use the lines which actually have an operator in it.

Remove all the lines where no operator is specified, so you'll only keep the line with the "12:".

Just an example:

[Solid_Fire]

ok i just tried that, and...still doesnt work. it ignores even the !help, ?help etc.. i dont know what it is, but it has my points when its in the zone.

[Solid_Fire]

ok

[Cyan~Fire]

You do understand that the number before the colon specifies a rank, and not some sort of ID#, right?

what do you mean?

[Solo Ace]

I'll just explain everything from the beginning.

On MERVBot you can have operators who can control the bot by using commands.

Of course, the owner needs more powers on the bot than a player, or a moderator.
MERVBot has several access levels for operators: player, limited, mod, smod, sysop, owner and a few higher than owner (which are, actually, equal to the owner owner level).

All these operators can use commands to make the bot do something.
Smods can use all commands the levels below the smod level and the commands on smod level, of course.

Your bot has to know who you want to have access to your bot, and which level they have.
This is what you do in operators.txt.

So, how do we tell the bot who gets moderator access?
Well, as I told in a previous post, every level has assigned a number to it.
A moderator, as you can read there, gets the number 2.

If you wanted me to be a moderator on your bot, you'd need to tell your bot in your operators.txt by adding the line "2 : Solo Ace : ".
So, this 2 tells the bot you want me to be a moderator.

Do not put lines in the file if they don't specify operators.
Bot commands cannot start with a '?'.

How come you don't understand all this?

[Solid_Fire]

i understand that, but the bot doesnt even respond to .help !help and i have my name in the operators.txt like you just explained.

[Solid_Fire]

ok my zone is being hosted by ssn, and the bot still ignores commands. i did !login and that works, it knows im owner of it. So i dont understand why it still ignores commands
