Setting GM Privileges on your own Server

[busyallnightill6]

Hello, I have followed the guide perfectly and i am running a public server at the moment. My question is where can i figure out how to give my EQemu Account privileges to be a Lead-GM (Or what ever its called).

The Guide tells me to "Search around on the wiki for more information on how to set privileges on your account to enable GM commands." But i can't find this anywhere!!!

I used to run another server and i remember doing something in my command line with my eqemu account which is Busyallnightill6.

Thank you.

The status column in the account table determines special privileges.
0 = no special privileges
250 = all privileges (full gm status)

some tables allow you to specify the status level you need to be to use the entry.

I believe you can fire up the MySQL query browser, and select your database and enter the following command in the query box

UPDATE account
SET status='250'
WHERE name='usrname'

Where it says usrname put in the name of the account that you want to have the status set too. This works for me so give it a shot. Thers is probably a simpler solution to this, but I just pulled this out of the MySQL syntax help stuff.

I'm a complete noob, but this is what i did. Fired up Navcat and found a table that said Accounts. There was mine... changed its number to 255 and now i can #flymode 1!!!


Thanks for the help. I remember when i made my server the first time there was a way to load up CMD and turn on privileges. That would be alot easier for future noobs to do.

Thanks again!
