Problems Setting Flag.

[SystemShark]

I've been talking with people in the MIRC chat and even though they were super nice in trying to help me with my Flag problems, still not working.

I need to set my account to ServerOP status. Ive done it through DOS, through msql, through FQadmin, through MySqlFront.. nothing. When I flag my account to 255, reguardless of how I do it, I can only reach 127 status..which is *GM*, limiting the abilities I should have as the admin hosting the server.

I tried making a new account but still only 127. If anyone has any ideas on how to help please post! Thanks. =)

Just outta curiosity, why 255? 200 will give you all of the commands.

Easy, SystemShark.

I had the exact same problem, this is due to a bug in the db.sql file.

Run mysql.exe, "use eq" or whatever your DB may be, and enter this:


alter table account modify status int(5) not null default '0';


Then try and set your status again.

The problem lies in the fact that right now your status column is a signed byte(3) meaning it supports values of -128 to 127, instead of being unsigned (0 - 255). The above line sets it to an int, allowing 255 and greater status, while still allowing negative for the ban and suspended status.

Thanks for the help. I had someone in the irc log in and change the file to help me out.

Thanks again. Safe hunting all.
