Enabling the admin system in the latest nitmod

Reaper · 17-Oct-13 11:36:51

Okay, I know this isn't fully released yet though I'm to start a server pretty soon and have just tried testing the latest Nitmod on a home based test server. When I start the server I get a message in the console saying that the admin system is disabled so I was wondering how I'd be able to enable this if I decide to use Nitmod on my server?

N!trox* · 17-Oct-13 19:09:03

This cvar must be set correctly for the admin system to work: n_SQLiteDBPath

This installation tutorial will probably help you: http://etmods.net/nitmod_install.php

Reaper · 21-Oct-13 11:34:27

I have done that but the admin system still doesn't work. I try using !help in the console to bring up all of the commands but nothing happens, none of the commands are working at all.

N!trox* · 21-Oct-13 13:10:22

The absolute path to the sqlite db must be wrong then, do you still get the error message when server starts ?

Reaper · 23-Oct-13 14:38:44

The path is correct so I'm not sure what is going on and looking in the log I do not see any error messages. Now if I were to use one of the older versions the admin system would be working as normal but not in this release - 772.

N!trox* · 23-Oct-13 14:46:26

As far as i remember, in older versions, it was not possible to disable admin system because the cvar was set automaticly if no file was found.
Are you 100% sure you are using the absolute path ? Including filename and extension ?

Reaper · 23-Oct-13 15:31:00

I am positive, the admin system remains disabled so I cannot use any commands what so ever.

Even in server console (rcon) ?

The only reasons why admin system would not work are:
- Invalid n_SQLiteDBPath value
- Permission problem (server can't read the file)
- Locked SQLite database (can happen if multiple processes read/write the file)

However, all of these issues would immediately write an error or warning message in the server logs.

Try any !cmd in rcon, and if it doesn't work, snd me a part of your logs (when map starts).

I hope we can figure this out soon.

It doesn't matter now, I've set the mod to 2.2 final.

I am however having another problem which is with the custom commands, the server doesn't seem to load them for whatever reason.

N!trox* · 24-Oct-13 19:59:31

If a cmd is not loaded, it's printed in the logs
And downgrading to 2.2 will still give you the same issues when you will update to 2.2.1 because no further changes are planned before final 2.2.1 release.

EDIT: no further changes in the admin system, i mean...

Reaper · 24-Oct-13 20:08:43

Well, the admin system works fine with 2.2 final. I'll check the logs now to see why the custom commands aren't being loaded.

Reaper · 24-Oct-13 20:32:48

Sorry for the double post, have checked the logs and there doesn't seem to be anything mentioned in either of the admin/console logs and I've just done !readconfig in the server now and all 4 of the custom commands have been loaded but for whatever reason they aren't being executed when I do say !kickbots or !minbots.

Here are the commands I have:

**********

command = minbots
exec = bot minbots [0]
desc = Sets the minimum number of bots on the server
levels = 6 7 8 9 10

**********

command = maxbots
exec = bot maxbots [12]
desc = Sets the maximum number of bots on the server
levels = 6 7 8 9 10

**********

command = afk
exec = put [n] s
desc = Puts you into spec if you are away from keyboard
levels = 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

**********

command = kickbots
exec = bot minbots 0; bot maxbots 0; bot kickall
desc = Cleans server from bots.
levels = 6 7 8 9 10

N!trox* · 24-Oct-13 20:41:49

This is the sample of file structure : http://etmods.net/downloads/sampleconfigs/commands.db

You're using command =, instead of name =

This is probably the reason, and it could be a bug cuz the mod should not load the cmd if the syntax is invalid.

Reaper · 24-Oct-13 23:35:31

Ahh go figure! Edited the commands.db and loaded it to test out the commands and they are all working now, thanks

Reaper · 25-Oct-13 11:12:58

Sorry for the double post again. Have tried 772 once more though once again there is a problem with the admin system, even with the sql path set.

That's what i thought, the sqlite path is not valid because it's not the absolute path.

Try: set n_SQLiteDBPath "/gsadmin/var/game_servers/213.108.31.126-27010/nitmod/NITMOD_DB.sqlite"

Reaper · 25-Oct-13 13:37:16

Oh right, well maybe something like that could be mentioned in the installation tutorial? I know it may not be the same as everyone else's servers though I'm thinking something like that could be put in?
Just tried that now and started the server and tested with the !help commands, a list of commands came up so its all working good now.
Thanks

That path is different from hoster to hoster. In the manual its saying you need a absolute path, Nitrox told you more then once. Maybe time to learn what an absolute path is!

N!trox* · 25-Oct-13 19:41:06

I remember someone had the same issue a while ago because as far as i remember, YCN doesn't tell clients about the absolute path.

I'm glad that it's finally fixed, maybe i'll add a note for YCN users in the installation tuto.

Grandad · 25-Oct-13 21:25:59

I think it is all here. Even for YCN-Hosting.com

Oh I know what an absolute path is however, the thing with YCN is it doesn't make the absolute path clear enough to the server owner or admin. And if you had read my post correctly you'll know that I already said that they are different for each host/provider.
