Addon.ini not doing anything ??

[Sakrateri]

I tried the search and found no answer so hoping someone can help me, I am trying to make my server as legit as I can but when I set my Addon.ini to 20 on all the ones that are 0 so peeps cant summon items and what not it does not seem to do anything , they are still able to summon stuff at status 0 .......so any ideas how I can fix this ??

[Sakrateri]

Ummm..............Anyone?? ................Any idea????

Are you getting any warnings about commands? If addon.ini isn't working, you should be getting a ton of commands "defaulting to 0".

If that isn't the case, take a look at the world/zone outputs and see if you missed something or if a specific command is defaulting to 0.

Also, #summonitem and #si do the same thing, make sure that they are BOTH in addon.ini.

Also, make sure your addon.ini file is in the same directory as is your world.exe and zone.exe files...

I'm not getting any warnings and nothing is defaulting to zero, Also I have the Addon.ini in the same file as World.exe. When I boot World.exe up iit says loading addon.ini with no errors at all . I logged on with another account that is not flagged gm and am able to summon items and zone and more. Also I do have SI and Summonitems both set to 20 but still statues zero peeps are able to use those . Would iut be easier for you to help if i posted what my world.exe is saying when i boot up ? Im at work right now or would do it now anyway , and thanks for the replys and any help you can give

OK, maybe I just don't understand the question but, if you can use the commands (such as #scribespells, #level, and #si) and aren't getting any errors in your World.exe output, then it looks like your addon.ini is working just like it should.

If you don't want others to be able to use commands, you have to set them to higher than 0 (zero). Personally, I set commands like #si, #scribespells, and the #setskill/setskillall commands to 100+.

P.S.
When setting permissions on commands, use increments of 10 (ten)!

Posting your zone output would be more informative, if built in debug mode (more specifically with EQDEBUG=5 defined), it should show output like this:

[Status] Loading commands
[Debug] Starting Log: logs/eqemu_debug_zone.log
[Debug] command_init(): - Command 'setstat' set to access level 0.
[Debug] command_init(): - Command 'help' set to access level 0.
[Debug] command_init(): - Command 'version' set to access level 0.
[Debug] command_init(): - Command 'serversidename' set to access level 250.

Yes exactly , My addon.ini seems to be working fine , it loads fine but even with it set to 20 for #zone and #summon or #si people with a status of 0 can still use these commands ........Im stumped . here is the output of world.exe

There is not a lot of error checking in the code to read addon.ini, so getting

[Status] Loading ./addon.ini

from World tells you little about whether there are problems with it. Did you edit it with something other than notepad or 'DOS' EDIT ?

If you want to zip up your addon.ini and email it to me at derision@rama.demon.co.uk I will load it into my test server to check it.

[Sakrateri]

Ok Derison , I emailed it to you and I appriciate your help . and everyone elses with suggestions, Yes I did edit it with notepad

I spent 20 minutes or so on my test server with your addon.ini with accounts at status 0, 80 and 250 and it seems to work as it should ... level 0 accounts can't #si or #summonitem, status 80 accounts can use the commands that they are allowed in your addon.ini.

This was with 5.7DR2, not 5.6 which you are using, but I am not aware of any bugs in 5.6 relating to addon.ini.

I don't know what is causing your problem, sorry :(

[samandhi]

Instead of setting them at 20 try and set them higher (for test purposes) such as 200... Then see if they work correctly.

Ok , mabey it has something to do with character coming from the same IP as my GM character? only thing i can think of , if someone can do me a favor and get on my server and see what commands you are capable of and let me know. Sever is Fates Destiny and its a 5.6 server , the character and account I have been trying this with is flagged as 0 and no permisions were given . If your able to try this and let me know thanks in advance.

Are you changing minilogin to access a non-gm account when you are testing? If you are just creating another character on the same account it seems the account itself is what gets flagged. Not sure exactly how you are running it, but if that is the case (sorry if you specified and I missed in text) it could be your problem.

[sotonin]

i know what's going on...

ALL of your characters are tied to your EQEMU account!

so if you create multiple chars, they will ALL have access to the high lvl commands, if your account is flagged with that access lvl.

Even if you aren't a gm. although the gm only commands wont work until you set yourself as gm.

Yea .. If you flagged the account as 255 status (or whatever status you flagged it), then the whole account will have access to the commands that are not GM Specific (i.e. #si). If you had a friend with a different account test it, it probably won't work for him. Or you can make a test account and test it yourself.

Either way, it seems like it's your flag level and not the addon.ini file.

Hope this helps :)
