	Didn't understand cmdlevel of 'dev'
	Element: Account , found on line 1
Server Shutdown: reading account data

this is what my accounts.txt looks like:

Code: Select all

Account

	Name	admin
	Password	admin
	PasswordHash	f6fdffe48c908deb0f4c3bd36c032e72

}

ive tried putting defaultcmdlevel to dev, admin, seer, coun, test, gm, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and no luck =\ has anyone ever come across this error before? was it something i did while upgrading cores? :s

[Austin]

Can you post your cmds.cfg ? Thats where it comes from.

[gundamwing84]

ahhh yes i see, it works with them. its all fixed now, thanks austin

Code: Select all

CmdLevel Player
{
	DIR scripts/textcmd/player
}

CmdLevel Coun
{
	DIR scripts/textcmd/coun
}

CmdLevel Seer
{
	DIR scripts/textcmd/seer
}

CmdLevel GM
{
	DIR scripts/textcmd/gm
}

CmdLevel Admin
{
	DIR scripts/textcmd/admin
}

CmdLevel Test
{
	DIR scripts/textcmd/test
}

[Yukiko]

Looks like you don't have a "dev" command level defined. "Test" is probably the equivalent to "dev" so if you just change

Code: Select all

CmdLevel Test

to

Code: Select all

CmdLevel Dev

that should fix the issue. You might want to change the directory from "test" to "dev" for consistency as well.

You could also define an additional command level for "dev" I think and leave "test" alone. I don't think POL is limited to just six command levels.

[gundamwing84]

oh really...i can make more then 6 command levels...is it possible to make a script that suppresses character creation after a certain point unless ur say...cmdlvl 1 or above? (eg you can create one character and set that as ur default but if you try to make another u get d/c as soon as u login to it) because if so this gives me much opportunity to do a donators setup ive been wanting to do

[Yukiko]

Yes, it's possible to limit a player to X number of characters. As far as more than 6 command levels; I've never tried it but it doesn't cost anything to test it out. I keep finding more and more flexibility in POL. For example, (this is off topic but...) did you know you can specify a dice roll number for AR value on an NPC in the NPCDesc.cfg file? I just found that out recently.

Anyway, I haven't tested this code snippet but I think it should work. You'd put it right after the illegal character check in the oncreate.src script.

Code: Select all

// Here is the illegal character check
	    if((13 in CAscZ(who.name)) || (10 in CAscZ(who.name)))
         account.ban();
         for i:=1 to 5
              account.DeleteCharacter( i );
         endfor
         syslog("ALERT! Account " + account.name + " was banned for cheating.");
    endif
// Here's the "too many characters" check
var too_many_chars := 0;
	for i:=1 to 5
		if(account.GetCharacter(i) || i > 1)
			account.DeleteCharacter( i );
			too_many_chars := 1;
		endif
	endfor

	if(too_many_chars)
		DisconnectClient(who);
		return 0;
	endif

You should test it though and see if it works. I've been known to make coding errors before : )

[gundamwing84]

hmmm i see i see. i will have to do some testing then thankyou yukiko

[Yukiko]

Don't thank me until we know it works.
*smiles*

[gundamwing84]

hmm ok i tried compiling it and needed to put in var account := character.acct (i hope this is right!),

but its not able to read "for" and "endfor", im currently on pol 97, would this be the problem?

[Yukiko]

Oh geez! I slipped back to my old BASIC programming days.
*smacks head*

It should have been

for(i:=1; i=5; i:=i+1)

Sorry about that. I must be getting old : P

Yeah. The account variable was defined in my version of the Sanctuary scripts. I assumed you hadn't changed it in yours but that's what I get for assuming.

[Yukiko]

If you allow more than 5 character slots then change the 5 to whatever the maximum is for your shard.

[gundamwing84]

thanks, i will add it all in once its ready for pol 99 because for and endfor arnt added in till 98 checked the changelog thanks yukiko i will definately get back to you on this

[Yukiko]

umm... yes they are. Take a look at Racalacs eScript guide in the Docs section of the website.

[gundamwing84]

theres only developers doc and packets guides on docs part of website??

[Yukiko]

[gundamwing84]

ahh thankyou i will study this thoroughly
