Having trouble logging smods in. The names are in smod.txt, and they get no power. If they login with the smod pass only, they get an invalid password. I have check smod set to 1 in server.ini, and am completely lost...

well, they HAVE TO either type "*smodpw" in-game or append their profile's password with it

make sure they're typing what you put for smodpw in [password] section of server.ini

He appended his profile and said it didnt work

. I'll just change the smod pass to something shorter and try again.

here's an example

let's say my nick is "crazy_funkmaster" (just for kicks

)

in my profile, my password is "funktastic"

the smod password for the zone "SSI Funk-o-tron" is "funkysmod"

I am a smod in this zone

so, in my profile, my password should be changed to "funktastic*funkysmod"

[do not use the quotes, of course, they are merely to separate things that should be followed exactly]

also, don't use any strange characters in your passwords, keep it alphanumeric

what do u mean by profile akai? is it possible to give different staff members different passwords (say for example 3 mods, and is it possible for them to have 3 differenet passwords?)

I know you can assign different powers (like ER>'s in many zones) but I'm not sure how many different times you can do that and whether or not they can be identical

wait for someone else to answer

You can assign different levels of power to your mods in the moderate.txt but as far as I am aware you can only have one mod pw. Having one pw for each mod would, as with a lot of things, require the game coding to be altered.
