Post subject: What does.....

What does the "SCOREMAN" thing in the server folder do...I haven't been able to figure out how to work it (if it is possible) i know it has to have something to do with the scores....

also...when I type ?jackpot in my zone...it says 0...even after I have killed a couple of people....is it in the server.ini...(JackpotBroadcastPoints=0, does this need to be a 1 to see jackpot on request?)

alsoX2...i have a spectator freq, but it is 4483...so some stupid people might go on it and win the game...how do i get it so that no 1 knows what the spectator freq is.....when the person goes into spec (for no particular reason) they go to this freq..so that works...but how i get it so NO ONE knows what it is...

take my advice, and actually read everything in esc+c menu, IT'S ALL THERE!!!

The scoreman thingy: if u dont know what it does, dont mess with it, changing wont affect anything in the zone

With SCOREMAN you can edit user stats & pwds etc, squad names&pwds, and the (win/lost etc)scores

yep

...

it's called being the owner of your zone...

You get to own everyone, you can even crank your score on up to 3000 to 0.

well, I guess this is somewhat related... if I delete something like... user.dat, will it be recreated when I start up my server again, or will I have to replace this myself?

pretty much how is the player's scores and such usually wiped?

Uhh I'm not sure here. But just use a public *scorereset to wipe all scores. Cause if you delete it, all records of visited users go away.

lol...ya i was cruising through my scoreman and looking at the users and stuff and i noticed i had like 55 people...but then i realized that most of em were on when i was like working on the subarenas and i missed em...lol....and being owner rocks...

Yes, it will recreate itself, but will be blank, and cause errors as you already have some UserID's with scores and squads. I don't recommend this.

Delete, or rename the score.dat file.

and if I delete score and squads with it?

That should work, if you delete all of the .dat files that the billing server opens then you should have a completely empty player database

Note: This will remove EVERYONE and EVERYONE'S SCORES and ALL SQUADS, even your account. EVERYONE who has entered your zone will have to re-create their account.

(sorry for the caps, i needed emphasis)

right...just do *scorereset (don't know how to make everyone's go back to 0 though...)

If you set the freq # high enough, players will not be able to see it. Mods will still be able to though, there is no way around that.

what would be high enough?......cuase isn't the most numbers a freq can have 4? what about like 143536 would that be good? (i just made that number off the top of me head)

Cyan~Fire - Thu Aug 14, 2003 4:27 pm
Post subject:

Yeah it is four digit max. There's really no way of someone easily figuring out the spec freq. It would be a lotta work for a not-very-big gain.

ShortyMatt - Thu Aug 14, 2003 4:29 pm
Post subject:

but but...how do i set it so NO 1 can see it...?

how high is enough (refer to femme)

If you don't trust people, don't make them mods.

Post subject:

lol...that was random there cyan....cause in all zones (prolly cept mine) the spectator freq is --------- (there is a number behind that...i bet) but how i get mine so it looks like that but its still a number...cause i already tryied making the spectator freq --------------- and it failed...lol

Cyan~Fire - Thu Aug 14, 2003 4:45 pm
Post subject:

Oh. I thought you meant you didn't want mods seeing it. Make spec freq a number, it should automatically hide any 4-digit freq.

ShortyMatt - Thu Aug 14, 2003 4:59 pm
Post subject:

ok ok my spec freq is 4483...but people can see that it is 4483..and some stupid newb will go there and get flags...etc....so how do i make it so that if u are on freq 4483 then u MUST BE a SPECTATOR...sry for caps
