Lan Server Related Question: Claiming Admin Status

[lordamit]

As the title says, it is a lan server related question.
The situation is, I can never connect as admin in the LAN server, whether I connect using the menu or the command line.

I tried both the password given in server autoconfigured and the serverpwd.cfg file simultaneously, but none worked.

It tried to connect. It disconnected. And then it connected as user.

Example Screenshots:

using the Menu:


Using the commandLine:



here is the server_autoconfigured.bat files code:

[SELECT ALL] Code:

bin_win32\ac_server.exe -n"lords warzone" -o"IITDU RULES!!" -c16 -T -x123 -Pasr -D2
pause

And here is the serverpwd.cfg file:

[SELECT ALL] Code:

// list of additional server admin passwords
// WARNING: You can NOT use CubeScript in here!!
// one password per line

// Use the following scheme...
// password [denyadmin]
// optional: if denyadmin is set to '1', the password can only be used to connect to the server in case of ban, not to claim admin

1234

Can someone please help me? I tried my best finding the solution reading the readme.html provided. But I can't find the solution.

EDIT:

I tried without using any password under the serverpwd.cfg file (that is, no editing done there) as well. But I could not connect.

Try using a password that isn't all numbers.

[lordamit]

tried with 123asd. does not work.

but i don't think it has anything to do with password strength. even "1" worked with with the previous 1.04 version.

It's been established, by Panda, myself, and a few others, that the connectadmin command is experiencing some technical difficulties currently.

So I am not the only one then :D I will be waiting for the fix :D :D
thanks :)

It should be fixed in 1.1.0.1 ^^ (so go get it already).

[JGAN]

has to be capital "X" not "x" as in -X123 not -x123. fail. maybe on my part XD

Good to know :D :D I noticed the new version out in the sourceforge. But at that time, I could not find the changelog.. So was hesitating about downloading it.

Edit:

The admin connect fix appears to still not be working though, and linux users with libjpeg.so.8 still need to use the work-around I described on the last release-thread.

Oops... Erm... It is not fixed.. So.. how can i connect as admin bypassing this flaws? Is not there ANY way excluding the commandline and menu one?

The help file says:

-xM Sets the admin password. If you don't want your commandline to contain the password, or if you need more than one admin password, use the file "config/serverpwd.cfg".
-Xf Sets the admin password file. The default is -Xconfig/serverpwd.cfg

[JGAN]

wow thanks. /connect fscpwnage.servegame.com

Just kidding, can't until connectadmin is fixed.
BTW, get longer admin passwords.

[lordamit]

:| erm... all the players in my lan are in a single room :p So.. it is not exactly mandatory to use longer pass.

[V-Man]

As long as you don't invite me to your LAN party. :-P

[lordamit]

You guys all fail for not telling me about something called /setadmin -_-!

And there I was thinking that there is no way i can join a server using admin status :/

[samsattF]

LMAO
O_o

[JGAN]

lol actually that just came to me when i was re reading this thread XD

You didnt ask.

You fail with extra credits for not thinking OOB and thus remembering the descriptions:

connectadmin N O P
Connects to a server and tries to claim admin state.

setadmin B PASS
Claims or drops admin status.

See? Claim!!! :P

connectadmin is the only ident that should be able to do this, in the sense that "connecting as admin" or "using admin status" means to connect despite a temp ban, mastermode 1 or 2, full server, etc., claiming admin after connecting. There is not a workaround to those particular forms of connecting as admin; what you've just now suggested is a workaround for the part after you connect, where you claim admin -- which only works if you happened to get in.

[SELECT ALL] Code:

alias connect_admin [
(alias mapstartonce [setadmin 1 $arg3]);
(connect $arg1 $arg2)]
//connect_admin [IP] [PORT] [PASSWORD]

Use just like connectadmin. This solves the main part of the problem you described, but will fail under conditions that require the genuine connectadmin.
(Written at work, did not get to test this.)

I've had problems connecting admin on lan connections. I thought it was cuz I was connecting on the same machine, then I realized that I probably was doing something wrong. So I stopped trying.

People don't get my joke these days -_-!
Oh well, Thank you V :)
