Administrator Password

[Josiah]

I've seen it happen before, where a person thinks they're typing in the server password to get admin and really they're saying it out loud.

Is there some way to block "setadmin 1/0 (password)" for being said in the chat? If there isn't, is there a way to add this in to the next AC version?

Sorry if this has been posted before :\

Use a script to claim admin on all servers you have admin pw for.

Personally i just press 0 (zero) to get admin and 0 again to log out off admin.

Where this script is atm i have no idea.
Look in the "Scripts" thread or on Akimbo (when it gets up).
If not i can provide the one i use via PM or something.

Or you could just bind it to a key if you only have 1 password add

bind "p" [setadmin 1 password]

to your autoexec.cfg file and then press p to clam admin.

I'm aware of the script and all, but I'm talking about a way to block the server's password for being said in public chat. It would be something nice to have, just in case

[OpenSource]

Yes it would.
Or always use / on num-pad so you dont need to press shift + 7 and f**k up.

Maybe the devs should think about adding the claimadmin script by default.
So all you have to do to make use if it is add the IPs, passwords and key-bind.

mmh and if nobody gets your message, you just discovered the password... :p
try to block everything with "setadmin 1 xxx"

[V-Man]

No way!!
Then it'd be impossible to get phishers to kick themselves for typing

Code:

/setadmin 1 IM-N-ID10T

[Josiah]

I'm.. lost. Ah, forgot it ;)

[Luc@s]

I just use aliases (for example, $adm_woop, $adm_bob etc.) i still type the command but there's no problem if I fail

(TIP : add setadmin to your forbidden.cfg)

[Ronald_Reagan]

Josiah, you have a very nice idea. Maybe server owners can have a switch for that.

[Gibstick]

omg Luc@s I can't believe I never thought of that.

yeah, this isn't a hard problem to solve. AC already has the capability to filter out words. you could put anything you want in there, even 'gg'

[Josiah]

Lol ok, It would just be easier if it was already added when you install AC. Nice to know what to do though.

omg Luc@s I can't believe I never thought of that.

IKR!

[Bukz]

How do you think the scripts even work? :P

[OpenSource]

It works by me pressing a button to execute it.
And it dose it job.

If it didnt it would not been used by anyone.

:P

[Bukz]

It wouldn't work when you pressed that button without the proper cubescript behind that bind...just sayin'... \:D

[OpenSource]

And thats the scrips job.

If i dont press the button the script wouldn't work.
So, is that the cubescript behind me?

Just saying. :P

or "inter".... but no server owner would be fallacious enough to do that ;)

I prefer "mischievous", since it's so easily circumvented.

tip: add / to your forbidden list

2nd tip: don't follow the 1st tip

[MorganKell]

You could just make the password Rum and only give it to me :D
