How do I give someone mod/smod/sysop in only certain arenas?

Quote:

In your moderate.txt, smod.txt, and/or sysop.txt, put that player's name in there as:

With any name that has a + in front will only be allowed to use * commands in the arena that is listed after the :

If you have it as +NAME:@, it will give that player mod/smod/sysop in main arena. If you leave after the : blank, it will only have mod/smod/sysop in private arenas.

If you want one person, say Shanky, to get smod in two subarenas (a & b), do it like this:

Shanky
+Shanky:a
+Shanky:b

Names without + in front will work as normal. Those with it will be restricted to certain areas. You need to add them normally also, so that they are enabled as a mod/etc, THEN the restrictions to make it enabled on in certain parts.

NOTE: If you give sysop to someone in a subarena, unless you have *s* and *put disabled, they could work there way to getting sysop in all of the zone.

In server.ini, if you make it so you cannot use *s nor *putfile from a subarena, you can be more secure. But I'd really recommend against having anyone be sysop in only specific parts, as the potential for abuse is still there as much as if they were a full sysop.

If you want them to be able to change settings and governing their own arena simply give them mod, and custom arena ownership (OwnerID in the settings), it's all they require.
